POLITICS:
 Big Bills Face Congress

Heading the list of political questions for l949 is:
 How successful will President Truman be in getting his program through the new Congress?
 Even though the Democrats will have l2 more Senate and 92 more House seats than the Republicans, much will depend on the makeup of committees, particularly the House Rules group. Also, how many Democratic opponents of certain measures in the pas. will switch in view of the election re- turns.
 Minimum wage and social se- curity increases, housing, health and educational-aid bills may have easier sledding than imitation controls and Taft-Hartley Act re- vision. Further tax revision will depend largely on the budget out look. Southern filibusters could again hold up civil rights propos- als, though both party platforms ravor them.
 National committees: Democrats probably will meet in the spring. Then if will be determined whe- ther any States Rights" national committee members will be re- placed. Republicans are expected to meet sooner. Republican liber- alS and some conservatives, al- ready moving to "humanize" the party, may demand a shake-up in headquarters staff, including pos s;ble replacement of Chairman Hugh D. Scott, Jr., Pennsylvania Congressman.
 State legislatures: Forty-four meet during 1949. Fifteen more notifications are needed to enact constitutional amendment lim- ting the President to two terms.
 Presidential nominee prospects for 1852. Governor Dewey says he will not run again, but he may try to influence a selection. President Trumans' aides say he won't run either. That leaves the field wide open in both parties, something unheard of in years.

Must Now Have lnt'l lAgreement On Atomic Energy

NEW YORK, (P)-U. N. Secre- tary general Trygve Lie said Sat urday President Truman's an nouncement shows more than ever the need for international agree ment on atomic energy.
 Informed that MT. Truman had announced the United States has evidence of an atomic explosion in the Soviet Union, Lie made this comment:
 If it is true that they have the atomic bomb, it shows how indis- pensible international agreement is."

Will Put Air Force
 Base At North Pole

OSLO, Norway, (P)-The U. s. air force is going to establish a base on the ice at the North Pole next spring.
 Col. Bernt Balchen, here after a flight over the Arctic, disclosed the plans yesterday to neWsmen. He said the air rescue base would give American fliers experience in the Polar regions.
 Balchen said there wouldn't be any difficulty landing ski-equip- ped, transport planes at the North Pole. At least 10 per cent Of the Polar ice surface is always suit able for landing, he declared.
 But the base will float on ice, and will have to be moved at in- tervals, Balchen said. The ice drifts slowly away from the Pole, and the base will drift with it.

 "Is it true that the Soviet Union has the atomic bomb?" he was asked.

 Asked if the Presidents an nouncement was surprise, Aru- tiunian laughed and said:
 There is no surprise under the Sun."

SEATTLE, June 29-tR- Two
scientists flew north today to re-

Aleut race in the Aleutians.
DR.. w. w. Laughlin, Eugene, Ore,
newly appointed assistant professor
