FUTILE HUNT
 STAGED FOR
 CRASH PILOT
Volunteer Searehers tc Comb Beaches Rescue
 Party Coming Out

BULLETIN--Ketchilan, Alas ka, Feb. 5.---lntermittent signals picked up here indicate that the landing party in the res cue of Dewey Metzdorf and Ro- bert Gebo, survivors of the Harold Gillian plane crash, have reached a temporary camp in clearing about two miles from the planes wreck age and four miles from the beach.
 Signals indicate that the man sighted yesterday is probably one of the survivors and he was not on the beach but in the clearing at the temporary camp.
 The neagre information does not state which of the sur vivors Is the man nor the fate of the other survivor.
 It Is definitely signaled, how ever, that no trace of Gillian has been found and he had not returned to the scene since he left on January 10. five days after the crash.
 
 A signal was received early this afternoon stating the res- cue party Is now on the way out with at least one addition al survivor but failed to say whether the survivor was Metx- d0rf or Geb0 or whether both were alive.
 Half . dozen volunteer searchers left here early today to comb the beaches afoot on a search for Gillian.
 One signal late this forenoon stated the Gillian plane crashed near a 2,4OO- foot moun- tain and broke into three pieces.

Hundreds of Bills Given 10 Congress
 Die in Committees
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, Feb. B. Before the 18th Congress was much over a week old, more than 1000 bills and resolutions had been intro duced.
 To lot of the old-timers on the Hill, that's not even worth mentioning Practically all Con- gresses are like that
 A great chunk of these bills will never reach the House or Senate floors. They will die in committees Some will expire because their au- thors are unable to make their pleas heard above the tumult and shouting of more important legis- lation; some because their authors don't care much anyway, they hav- ing introduced them only because of pressure from important consti- tuents.
 Another sizable percentage are so-called private bills principal ly measures to settle individual claims against the government for damages to property or persons.
 Still that leaves more bills than any newspaper could itemize and explain. In Tuskegee, Ala, they probably know there are three bills pending to establish memorials to the late Negro scientist and educa- tor, Dr. George Washington Carver but I doubt if much of the rest of the United States ever heard about them.
