Letter From Washington By HARRIS ELLSWORTH Member of Congress From Oregon The house of representatives has just about completed action upon all important bills report ed by committees. The only leg islation in this category upon which the house has not yet act ed is the bills to continue rent controls for six months under certain conditions. The ways and means committee is still work ing on a tax bill. Several public health bills are still in commit tee as is the bill for aid to medi cal education and the general federal aid to education bill. Some of these bills may be ready for floor action during the next two or three weeks, but until they are there will be little activity on the part of the house. LAST YEAR congress passed the basic legislation designed to put the recommendations of the Hoover commission into effect. The president was given author ity to reorganize the executive branch of the government. The principle restriction placed on his authority was that as he com pleted reorganization plans they were to be submitted to con gress. Under the terms of the basic act congress has 60 days in which to look the plans over. If either the house or the senate disapproves a plan, it is rejected and the president may offer a new one or not, just as he sees fit. Plans which are not rejected within the 60-day period auto matically go into effect. In March the president sent 21 plans to congress. The 60-day time limit has now expired. Five of the plans were killed by the senate. None were rejected by the house. Sixteen are now in effect.

It was a petition to the governor asking the removal of the court house to San Pedro de Roma. Mier townsfolk went on a ram page when they learned of the hoax.

Oue.(U.R) Prostiects of discovering diamond deposits in tnis northern (Quebec gold mining town have set inhabitants wondering whether they are sit ting atop another bonanza. Full scale drilling operations for the prized jewels are to start shortly on a farm site 15 miles from here. Since possibilities of diamond discoveries became known, more than 4,000 acres in the adjoining area have been staked out by companies planning exploratory work. Known About 1948 The prospect of diamond de posits first became known to wards the end of 1948 when a resident, Alvida Duval, planned an artesian well on his farm. At the 60-foot level the drill ers were startled to find a rock formation resisting the diamond piked drill. They decided to send some of the rock dust for a lab oratory analysis. The provincial mines depart ment advised them that the rock dust really was diamond-grains. Bicycle production in new Japan reached a postwar high of 2,099.451 units in 1949, an in crease of 78 per cent over the previous year.
