Congressmen Agree on Weekend Potty

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.

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.
