more active committees give due deliberation to all the bills as- signed to them if it weren't for two factors:
 CD Several thousands of the bills weren't introduced with any idea that they would be passed (these are for-the-record use so members can go back to their con- stituents with the argument "I did everything I could").
 @ Hundreds of the bills are ob- viously acceptable or at least so favored by the majority that the minority doesn't bother to object. In neither of these categories falls any of the controversial leg islation, which includes all of President Truman's proposals on which he hasn't had vote from "the whole Congress"
 The President knows whereof he speaks. As a Senator he served on six standing committees: Ap- propriations, Enrolled Bills, Inter- state Commerce, Military Affairs, Printing, and Public Buildings and Grounds. He also was chair man of that Truman Committee" :" officially titled the Committee to Investigate the National Defense Program. He served, too, on the special committee to investigate the Civil Service system.

U. s. Agreed To Support Russia's KuriIes Claims

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-(P)- Secretary Byrnes said a secret agreement at Yalta for United States support of Russia's claims to Japan's Kuriles was reached with full knowledge of this coun- try's military leaders, when the Japs launched their assault against the Aleutians from the Kuriles.
 In response to question at his news conference as to whether the agreement was entered "into with full knowledge of the military chiefs of staff," he replied, yes, but added that he himself had no knowledge of the agreement until few days after the Jap surrender.
 Cession of any territory, such as permanent Russian possession of both southern Sakhalin and the Kuriles would have to be formal ized in a treaty.

 ON THE PAN

Let me make it very clear that when I speak of bills not getting any action, it is not the Congress as a whole which is responsible it is the committees which hold up action on bills often bare majority of committee handful of men-can prevent a vote by the whole Congress on these measures of majority pol icy"
 With those words in his year of decision" speech, President Truman raked his former col leagues over the coals as only a Chief Executive who had served in Congress could.
 Coming as it did shortly after the report of Sen. Robert LaFol- lette's joint committee on the re- organization of Congress, tn e Presidents blast highlighted the fact that the committee system is sadly in need of overhauling.
 There are B standing commit tees in the Senate; 48 in the House. In addition, there are IS special committees, conc n e d with everything from sheep to the skylight of the House chamber.
 For several years Sen. LaFol- lette and Rep. A. S. Mike" Mon roney, co-author of the Reorgan- ization Bill, have been trying to streamline the committee system.
 "No person familiar with the situation today" said LaFollette when he introduced his resolu- ton to reduce the number of com mittees to 13 in each chamber, "can deny that there is pressing need for committee reorganization"
 Nobody argued with the senator on the floor nor has anyone pub licly taken sides against Rep. Monroney, but their resolutions have suffered the some fate as President Truman's domestic pro- gram-bogged down in commit tees.
 In each two-year session of Con- gress, there are approximately 10000 bills introduced. Congress couldn't consider anything like that number. Nor could even the

Application for a $4,000 advance
from the Federal Works Agency
by the North Carolina State Ports
Authority for the purpose Of sur

disapproved Jan. Is, by the control
division of FWA.
Although the project previously
was approved from an engineering
standpoint, the FWA, through a
spokesman, declared it was dissp-
proven on the grounds the project
will not provide immediate en-
ployment through quick construc-
ton.
Also, the FWA official said,
granting of the funds for the sur
vey would take nearly third of
the $9O,818 allotted to North Caro-
lima for all it's projects in this fis-
cal year. 1--WE think it would be
better to defer this one until more

There is substantial geological
reason to support the belief that
oil does exist under portions of
eastern North Carolina" He de-
clared, I'VE have utilized the most
scientific means known to arrive
at the op nion that oil is likely to
be found within an area east of
Raleigh and limited only by the
oceans depth of the coast" Ackley
said.

the gradual recession Of the ocean.
In stratigraphic formations, the
geologist explained, there is usual
ly oil lying above subterranean wa
ter pools but beneath strata Of
limestone, such formations exists,
in Standards opinion in the east
ern part of North Carolina.
"Cught to Be Oip'

Furthermore, the major COM

independents don't want reckless
expenditure of oil resources. After
all, the United States has but an
estimated 13 years reserve of oil
underground at present consump-
ton rates." he said.
Ackley said that in the event OF
commercial oil production here it
would not be likely that companies
would seek to refine the product
on the spot. More likely, he de-
clared, they would pipe the petro-
leum to a port such as Morehead
City or Wilmington and ship the
crude product to one Of their north
