DEAUVILLE, France, March 24. —Only a few weeks ago the Nore mandy base section, which has jurisdiction over the ports of Cher= bourg, Le Havre and Rouen. for supplies for the armies up front and administration of this area, moved its headquarters to this famed seaside resort. /

This, of itself, was token of the expansion and organization of the once much disrupted coast area which not so long ago was a scene of confusion, with

For example, there was some little difficulty at

storm damaged the artificial harbor. But not much was told about the havoc created along that beach where supplies for thé armies were being handled.

600 Vessels Thrown Upon Beach

LIEUT. COL. WILLIAM E. WILLEY of Salt Lake City, who was there with a quartermaster battalion attached to the first special engineer brigade, said there were some 600 ‘vessels of all sorts, including Liberty ships, thrown up on the beach by that storm.

It took about three weeks to clear them away, though the wark of ‘moving in supplies and moving them on to the armies continued. German mines were used to blast away some of the debris. Col. Willey, himself, helped to extract live mines. Some of the debris still is piled up back of the beach, twisted relics of that discouraging blow by nature. There, along the beach, the supply troops -per« formed miracle after miracle. One day Gen. Patton swept in suddenly with a request for three million gallons of gasoline to be delivered immediately, t million gallons at three different locations, for the armies moving ahead. He got it.

This example of disinterested .public service is worth knowing about - because it shows that en« lightened public opinion, intelligently difected, can exert a wholesome influence to right the wrongs-of government in a democracy, even in time of war. ‘And it is a good case history to show what it takes to make the wheels go round in Washington.

The study of cougressional organization now begun in open hearings before the LaFollette-Monroney committee is feally the result of four years of behind the-scenes preparation by a number of individuals, congressmen as well as private citizens. Spearheading many of these efforts has been the American Politiacl Science associaton, which in 1941 set up a committee on congress to see what might be done about core recting the growing disrespect in to which the legislative branch of the federal government was rapidly falling.

Committee Tries New Tack INSTEAD OF DOING the usual job of research, and writing another book which would soon be forgotten, the Political Science Association committee on congress decided on an unique experiment. It would seek to stimulate congressional interest in self government and to arouse public interest in legislative reform at the same time, Dr. George B. Galloway was named chairman of the committee of 10 well-known political scientists. Galloway, after a short business career with ‘Amer= ican Telephone & Telegraph Co., had been connected with the Municipal Research, the Twentieth Century } association, ‘and Brookings

institution. For two years he had been in the national recov ery administration,” so he knew his way around Washington. He began his congressional reform activities with a series of small informal dinner. meetings with congressmen from. both political parties, at which the problems and practices of con= gress were sympathetically explored and discussed.

Enlisted - Public Support . THE GALLOWAY COMMITTEE also stimulated forum discussions and radio round-table ‘debates, magazine articles and books. Late in 1944 they organized a national commission on the organization of congress to enlist public support for modernizing congressional machinery and methods. National Planning association had an independent study of congress. made by the Cleveland engineering firm of Robert Heller and associatés. League of Women Voters put congressional reorganization on its “must” Ist. Galloway’ s committee made a report of its own, Newspapers supported the idea from the very be ginning, Gradually, the ball began to roll. It was the congressmen themselves, however, who carried the
