There they distribute pending bills to each lawmaker's desk, change calendars, fill matchbox es, and check other details that would normally take up the time of congressmen. ' When the congressmen arrive, the pages take their hats and coats while others run errands and listen for the cloakroom telephones. The pages are busy f Am the time school ends until 6 p.m. or later. Their working hours de pend on House and Senate ses sions. During Senate filibusters, they have to catch cat-naps on couches just the same as the sen ators and newsmen. Senate pages sit in the front of the chamber facing the body so they can see the senators beck on. In the House, pages sit in the rear and are summoned by an elaborate buzzer system which flashes lights on and off. Height Limit , . Pages are paid $300 a month, from which they pay room and board, taxes and other expenses. They must be at least 14 years old and have, completed eighth grade education. In the Senate, no page may be taller than the shortest senator and none can be over 17, although the House often uses older boys. The pages, envied by many American schoolboys, enjoy their work. Many of them re main in Congress working at various positions long " after their page days are over. The Senate has 21 pages, 17 appointed by the majority party and four by the minority. Their terms of office thus depend on how long their party stays in control. The 50 House and four Supreme Court pages also owe their jobs to political influence. The century-old custom of em ploying pages in Congress began when 19-year-old Grafton Han son was hired during the admin istration of President Andrew Jackson. PROVES FISH STORY Hatteras, JJV C.
