Russell B. Long, (D- La.) For a while, it looked as if the session would continue deep into the early morning hours. But Senate Democratic Leader Lyndon B. Johnson finally won unanimous agree ment for a vote on the con troversial bill Monday after noon. Long gave his consent after rejecting a similar plea from Johnson earlier. Kennedy's 'Vacation' The night session was mark ed by angry Republican com plaints that Democratic Presi dential nominee John F. Ken nedy was absent on a "two day vacation." Long's rambling attack caused a weekend delay in finishing up congressional work on, the bill and sending it to the White House. The measure Is designed to pro vide medical care to needy persons over 65. ' Earlier, Sen. Gordon Allolt, (R-Colo.), pointedly told Long that he objected to being kept on the 1ob so late while "the so-called leader, of the other party is having a two-day va cation." The reference was to Kennedy who left for his Hy annis Port, Mass., summer home Saturday. Sen. Francis Case (R-S.D.), also complained loudly. He read the Senate a United Press dispatch printed in a local newspaper under the heading "Kennedy Relaxes." Case said he objected to one Senator enjoying "privileges" denied to another.

We are anxious to vote on medi care. It is hot and, sultry here. Won't you please, as an exper ienced sailor, grasp the tiller and steer us to the new fron tier? - '.'This is the time for great ness. The message was signed with "Kindest regards" by Sens. Prescott Bush (R-Conn.), J. Glenn Beall ,il-Md.), Wal lace F. Bennett (R-Utah) and Kenneth B. Keating (R-N.Y.). Long's speech was for the most part on the subject, but It had some overtones of once famous filibuster speeches de livered by his father-the late Senator Huey P. Long. Like his dad, Long read from a book or two and from magazine articles in attack ing the Senate-House compro mise measure.
