Howell (D-NJ) reports on a problem that may never have occurred, to you How do the guides who conduct sightseers around the Capitol know in advance whether the Senate is going to be in session? Simple, says Howell: "They glance down the corridor leading from the Capitol rotunda to the Senate chamber. If they see two large cuspidors outside the main Senate entrance, they know the Senate will be in session that day."' Finally there Is the matter of the quorum call a ringing of bells to summon enough senators or House members to transact offl- 25 Banned Books Of Eight Presumed Reds Made Public cial business. Rep.;Norris Cotton (R-NH) tells of a colleague who was entertain ing an. overly talkative lady con stituent. Seems she '.chattered on about the wonders of Washington at such let gth that he wanted to get away from her, so in. despera tion he cocked an ear and said: "Excuse me, I think I heard, quorum call." . .',' ' "I'm sure you did," gushed the visitor.
