PARTIES IN ACCORD Congressmen Agree on Weekend Potty By A. ROBERT SMITH RegUteMjuard Correspondent WASHINGTON (Special) The highest success at reaching bipartisan accord between battling Republicans and Demo crats in this closely divided 84th Congress is not in the lofty realm of foreign policy or national de fense .hut on how congressmen should be free from anxiety about their weekends nitc, long week ends. The unwritten rule, in both Scientist Tracks Moon With Jet CLARK AIR FORCE BASE, P.I. W) An American scientist zoomed after the moon in a 600-milc-an-hour T33 jet trainer plane Monday and said he, was able to sec the eclipse five min utes longer as a result. "The. phenomenon was far more pronounced and clear than any other eclipse I have ob served from the ground," said Frank Back, president of Zoo mar Inc., New York. "The sky was full of stars we could ob serve stars of the third magni tude." Back said the flight set a precedent for future eclipse ob servations. "We don't have to depend on the weather, and we can even extend eclipses of short duration." Back flew at an altitude of 38,000. IrTTT House and Senate to jjhich mem bers of both parties adhere with fantastic harmony is that any onci of the 435 representatives or 96 senators is free to join, the "Thursday to Tuesday Club." That's the unchartered chowder and marching society headed by eastern congressmen who are in Washington, D.C., in midweek be tween trips hme oV elsewhere that stretch from Thursday night to Tuesday morning. The inven tion of the airplane, of course, enhanced the club's attractive ness "to westerners as well. . FLOOR ACTION RIGGED This doesn't mean that the Congress of the United States is out of action every Friday and Monday at least not utterly. But plans for floor action arc usually rigged so as not to embarrass any of the club members vho have lengthy weekend engage ments, cither personal or politi cal. If the House meets, for example, on Monday, this in convenient show of legislative labor will usually be preceded the previous week by an an- BOTTLE TRIP HULL, Mass. UPl A bottle that drifted all the way from England was recovered at the shore here. Police Sgt. George E. Thomas, who found the bottle, said it con tained writings from the Mersey- side "Bottle Evangelists' of Dev onshire, England. nounccmcnt frrn Majority lead er John McCormack (D-."ass), who fairly ooes political savoir fair. He ivill gut it like this to his breathless colleagues who! have rushed in ffom the (lok room with train schedules in harfd: "Monday we'll take up. H.R. D999? the anti-vivisection 'bill (groans r'se. heavily from the chamber at the though of voting on this momentuous "issue) and there will be twe hours general, debate. Voting on the bill will be held over until Tuesday." COAST IS CLEAR In language a voter might bet t e r understand, McCormack would bo saying: "Monday a handful of members of the com mittee which handled the anti vivisection bill will be delegated to read their argument pro and con, or simply to insert them in the Congressional Record fqr that day. But don't worry, boys, the coast is clear because we won't have any roll calls until Tues day." From Tuesday through Thurs day, however, the lawmakers really grind out the fresh new statutes. Tuesday, June 7, the House clipped off 09 bills be tween noon and 2:33 p.m. that afternoon when it quit for the day, Tuesday, June 14, the Sen ate punched out 90 separate bills between noon and 4:43 p.m. Both chambers employed an old de vice called the unanimous con sent calendar to do the job a kind of legislative automation. , Looking at tk!s rate of speed, one can rcauny uivicrsidiiu uic good men Sid Ijue being groggy by Friday and in fcad need of rest.

The Senate, always seeking the last word, ran until 7:33 p.m. cleaning up the Com merce uepanment luna Din. PSYCHOSOMATIC MEDICINE All this high-powered time tabling of the nation's lawmaking is in the nature of physchosomatic medicine for the politician who sprouts ulcers just thinking about the next election campaign when Candidate Joe Blow tries to un seat him with the great discovery that he was absent that Monday the vote was unexpectedly taken on the omnibus pork barrel bill. Now he doesn't have to think about such a fearful possibility. He knows it won't happen. Be cause everybody is a member of the Thursday to Tuesday Club, and the member who would blun der into calling for an unsched uled vote on Friday or Monday would later gladly swap his case of cold shoulder for a dose of poison ivy. In an organization where suc cess is measured by the num ber of your friends, no one vio lates the rules. 1 4A Register-Guard, Eugene, Ore.
