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.
Commenting upon the senate
The Grange
Sams Valley Grange
Sams Valley Grange will meet
Saturday night, June 3. The lec
turer has announced that the
men will present the program
for the evening with Amos
Gamsby as chairman. This occa
sion is always one of the high
lights of the year in entertain
ment and a large crowd is ex
pected. Visitors at the last regular
meeting were Mr. and Mrs. Stie
ber of Gold Hill Grange, Master
Gebhard of Central Point
Grange and Mrs. Clark of Beau
mont Grange in California.
Serving refreshments were
Mr. and Mrs. Amos Gamsby and
Mr. and Mrs. Herb Jirschle.
Home Economics club has an
nounced they will sponsor a
clean-up evening for the Grange
grounds on June 7, followed by
a mashmallow and weiner roast.
All Grange members are invited
to come and help make the hall
safe from fire.
action in rejecting some of the
plans, Senator Butler of Nebras
ka declared the president him
self caused their defeat by put
ting in trick phrases. The sen
ator pointed out that while pre
tending to put the Hoover com
mission plans into effect, Tru
man really submitted plans
which were designed to concen
trate power in his own hands
rather than to accomplish
economy.
Reorganization plans number
ed 22. 23, 24, and 25 were sub
mitted to congress by the presi
dent on May 9. These plans will
go into effect July 8 unless re
jected by either the house or the
senate.
IN JUNE 1949, nearly a year
ago, congress passed the public
housing act. The essential pur
pose of this legislation was to
provide low-rent housing at gov
ernment expense. The propon
ents said an emergency existed
which private builders could not
meet. People had to have houses
right now, ran the argument, so
the government must get busy
and build them. A year has pass
ed nna hn.ieA hmiEina
unit has yet been built or even
sianea unaer mat law. Mean
while in the same period of time
people have built nearly one mil
lion houses for themselves,

San Pedro de Roma. Mexico
(U.Ri An energetic town booster
of San Pedro de Roma posed as
a census enumerator and tricked
the inhabitants of Mier into sign
ing a petition to move their
courthouse to this more resource
ful border town.
The people of Mier, 25 miles
south of here, were quite upset
when they learned the long
legal-looking paper they signed
wasn't a census report at all. 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.
They bought time on Monter
rey and Reynosa radio stations to
send out passionate pleas for
"loyal sons" of Mier to hasten
back and defend the city's sacred
firesides.

preparations or drugs sold for
use for non-medicinal purposes."

Diamond Deposits
Sought in Quebec
Val D'Or. 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.
