Soviet Threat in Oil

Despite its failures thus far in many
areas Of economic competition with the
non-CommuniSt world, the Soviet Union
is making substantial progress in one
highly important Sector-the discovery,
production and marketing of petroleum.
For 1862, Moscow has now an
nounced-and no Western authority has
challenged the figures-production Of
approximately a billion barrels Of crude
oil, an increase by about II per cent over
the output of year earlier and some
what higher than the 1862 target. At
the same time, TaSS reported that pros
pecting ION an enormous scale" had
resulted in the discovery Of 100 new oil
deposits in the Soviet Union, including
rich finds in previously unproductive
areas of eastern Siberia The Associated
Press reports that American oilmen not
only expected the increase in Soviet pro-
duction, but consider it probable that
there are vast reserves yet to be tapped
in both European and Asiatic Russia.
The 1862 figures, incidentally, place the
Soviet Union solidly in second place
among world producers, with the United
States first at 81 billion barrels and
Venezuela third at IL billion.
1t is, however, the Soviet Unions
utilization Of its petroleum as a weapon
Of economic warfare that is most disturb
ing to some, though not yet to all, of the
Communist nations. 1t is estimated,
for example, that Communist oil now
supplies 20 per cent Of Italian needs,
nearly the same share Of Swedish re-
quirements, and has been pushing in
lesser measure into other markets Of
free Europe. 1t supplies, also, most Of
Communist China's needs-a strategy
that for the time being at least helps
to strengthen Moscow's influence in
Peking. At the same time, the Soviet
Union has been able to buy in Western
Europe and in Japan much Of the equip
ment for pipeline transport and for
ocean shipping by which it delivers its
petroleum products.
In seeking to capture these markets,
and to make them increasingly depend
ent upon Communist oil, the Soviet
Union has a significant advantage de-
MED TO free-world nations. It's oil in
dustry is, Of course, state monopoly
subordinated TO Communist Party de-
signs and consequently in position to
ignore normal commercial conSidera-
tions. On this basis, Soviet pricing
techniques are ruthleSs-adjusted TO a
level not only below the prices that
can be offered by free-economy oil
industry, but as much as 40 per cent
lower than those charged satellite GUS
toners within the Communist bloc itself.
It is easier TO recognize the Soviet
threat than to meet 1t. Cheap oil
obviously is attractive TO industrial
nations that depend upon imports. There
is a potential future price tag, how
ever, that such consumers should keep
in mind, and It is not too soon TO ponder

THE POLITICAL MIL

not be defeated. On the other
hand, If the administration
forces lose tomorrow's Rules
Committee vote, 1t does not
mean that all the Kennedy
program will be defeated in
the House, although it will
make 1t more difficult to get
special rules from the COM
mittee to expedite some of it.
Yet the President and his
supporters in this fight are
attempting to make the
country believe that he must
have victory If any Of his
major measures like medi-
care, the public school bill,
a new Urban Affairs Depart
ment, additional civil rights
legislation, a mass transpor-
tation bill and a youth con-
servation bill are to be en-
acted into law.
Packing Failed
When President Kennedy
and the 87th Congress came
into office In January 1861,
the House under his prod
ding, aided by the late Speaker
Sam Rayburn, packed" the
Rules Committee by adding
three members, supposed to
make it easier for the Demo-
cratic Administration to OPP
crate against a conservative,
anti-New Frontier alliance
in the House, an alliance
which has been a thorn In
the side of the so-called lib
erals in the White House and
the Congress for many years.
The proposal to increase the
committee won by a scant
five votes. But even with the
enlarged Rules Committee
(the packed" committee),
the administration has failed
to get through the House
some of Mr.. Kennedy's pet
measures-the reason being
that a majority of the House
did not favor them, although
the administration has tried.
along with the liberals, to
place the blame on the House
Rules Committee. Medicare,
for example, was killed in
the Senate by a vote of that
body. The proposal made by
the President for a Depart
ment Of Urban Affairs was
beaten in the House by a
vote. The public school bill
got nowhere because of a
fight involving religion. The
higher education bill" the
House Rules Committee al
lowed to go to conference,
but it failed there.
The ways in which the
House may bring before it
bills which have been tied
up in the Rules Committee,
or which have never been
referred to the Rules Com
mittee, are too numerous to
set forth in this space. But
they exist. Bills from six
committees, for example, in
cluding the Appropriations
Committee, the Ways and
Means Committee and the
Public Works Committee are
privileged and may be taken
up on motion. The object Of
a special rule for considera-
ton may be to curtail de-
bate and to prevent the Of
fering of amendments. A
majority of the House can
work its will-if it wants to.

VISTAS IN SCIENCE
Radio T eIescope With Vast Range
BY THOMAS R. HENRY

is expected that for the first
time the true physical prop
critics of these tiny struc-
lures can be determined.
1t probably will be fore
ever impossible for man to
know If life exists elsewhere
in the universe.
In all likelihood there are
billions of planets, any
quite like earth, revolving
around other stars; all stars,
in fact, may have planetary
systems. But the nearest is
too distant for any sort Of
communication to be estab-
lished in several human life
times.
This is stressed by DR..
Roger Revelle, scientific ad-
wiser to the Secretary Of
the Interior, in a report
Just published by the Amer
ican Institute Of Biological
Sciences.
A radio message to one Of
the planets of Betelgeuse or
Rigel, among the nearest
stellar neighbors, would re-
quire several hundred years
and the reply would require
an equal time. A radio mes
sage from one side of our
own galaxy to the other
would take 100000 years be-
fore a reply could be heard.
Hypothetical Mission
This" says DR.. Revelle,
"iS almost as long as human
beings have lived on earth
and 40 times longer than the
entire history of our human
civilization. To plan and carry
out q research project in
volving the sending out OF a
space ship which could not
return for 1000 years is be-
yond the capacity of our pres
ent society. Men who can
plan effectively even 20
years ahead are quite rare.
I'VE might conceivably
send out a space ship crewed
by human beings. With the
present life span the original
crew would not be able 10
survive a small fraction OF
the time required. Children
would have TO be born on the
space ship and they in turn
would reproduce and die
through many generations so
that finally only the remote
descendants Of the original
crew would return TO earth.
Would the 50th generation,
after 1000 years. still share
the aspirations OF their pi-
grim fathers7 Would they be
able TO tolerate each other.

told the country that with
out the extension Of the en-
larged, so-called packed"
Rules Committee of the House
of Representatives, his New
Frontier program is dead so
far as the coming session of
Congress is concerned. This
is one of the most extra
VACANT" statements he has
made-and members Of the
House understand that. They
understand also that If a
majority Of the House favors
a legislative proposal, it can,
under the present rules, be
brought before the House
for consideration and action
whether the Rules Commit
tee provides a special rule
for its consideration or not.
1t may be more difficult and
not as expeditions as a spe-
cial rule, but it can be done.
Further, there is nothing to
prevent the Congress from
staying in session until 1t
has finished its job-noth-
ing to compel its adjourn
ment on any special date.
The Presidents statement,
made in a special television
interview, has, however, put
the members of the new Con-
gress on the spot. Many Of
them do not consider that
they were elected to support
any or all of the proposed
legislation handed them by
the White House. They be-
lieve they were sent to Wash
ington to represent their
constituents and to exercise
their own best judgment on
important governmental pol
icies. Many of them favor
some Of his legislative pro-
posals but not all-including
Republicans as we'll as Demo-
Gratis. But tomorrow they
will, under present plans Of
the House Democratic leader
ship, be called upon to stand
up and cast a vote on the
entire White House pro-
gram-or at least a vote that
will be so construed. These
members Of Congress do not
like (which is a reason
why there is doubt about the
outcome in a Congress that
is so heavily Democratic.
In the House there are 258
Democrats. 176 Republicans
and one vacancy in a Demo-
cratic district. In the 87th
Congress - the last - the
count was 26l Democrats,
174 Republicans and two va
cancies. The size of the House
reverts this year to 435-
two seats short of the temp
orary increase caused by the
admission of Alaska and Ha-
waii to statehood.
No Assurance Of Success
Obviously the Presidents
statement was not made idly
or without purpose. If he is
successful in obtaining a vote
making permanent a Rules
Committee of Is members
instead of the old number IL,
it will have a psychological
effect. This was so intended,
But even so. there is no as

The worlds largest radio
telescope, developed by the
National Science Foundation,
is now in operation. 1t has
an antenna with a diameter
Of 300 feet. 1t weighs 900
tons. The new instrument

cording to a Science Founda-

dure will be to point 1t at

Jupiter to Be Studied
Among the first objects TO
be studied is the planet Jupi-
ter which has posed some Of
the most interesting prob
lens for radio astronomers.
The planet appears TO emit
radio waves which perhaps
are the result Of three dis
tinct m e C hanisms. First,
there seems TO be an effect
like a giant thunderstorm on
the planet which every now
and then sends bursts Of ra-
dio waves into space. These
bursts are easily detected on
earth.
Second, Jupiter sends out
radio waves because 1t is 80

absolute zero. Actually II is
very cold in comparison with
earth's temperature. Finally,
II emits radio waves that are
thought TO originate in belts
OF ionized particles high In
the atmosphere, somewhat
similar 10 the earth's lately
discovered Van Allen belt.
Then there will be efforts
10 discover such radiation
around the outer planets
Uranus and Neptune. Later
work will concern the dynam-

Galaxy and its spiral arms.
