Demos Back Activities OfSolons WASHINGTON (UPI ) Demo cratic leaders plunged today into the expected final week of the first session of the 88th Congress with words of praise for their legislative record. The congressional leaders hoped for adjournment Friday or Saturday. Senate Democratic Leader Mike .Mansfield, ' Mont., said Sunday Congress had compiled a "quite respectable" record and that any senator who con tended otherwise should be ashamed of himself. House leaders also hailed the , legislation record, citing pas-' sage of precedent-setting school aid and mental health bills. In addition, they argued, both the civil rights ' and tax cut bills had been put in position for early passage next year. But Sen. Jacob K. Javits, R N.Y., called it a "standstill Congress" marked by loss of respect throughout the nation. He said Congress needed more active leadership. Sen. A. S. Mike Monroney, D Okla., called for further reor ganization of the House and Senate. Monroney, co-author of the 1948 Legislative Reorganiza tion Act, said the workload of Congress had pyramided many times since then. Mansfield was asked by Sen. Kenneth B. Keating, R-N.Y., whether he agreed with critics that Congress this year has ac complished very little.

UPI Telephoto 2 Fishermen Discover Survivor Of Lost Ship N'AMSOS. Norway iUPH -Two fishermen tending their nets along the icy Atlantic shore spotted a strange object Sunday bobbing throngh the freezing breakers toward coast al rocks. A ghastly sight greeted them when they drewtnear in their fishing boat. Four frozen corpses and a man barely alive were lashed to a battered timber raft, all that was left of the 499-ton Nor wegian freighter Jonetta. sunk in a storm two days earlier. Fishermen Hans Hartvikoy and his brother. Sigfrcd. stared at the lone survivor, who man aged a faint call for help. "His mouth was almost fro zen," Hans said today. "H i s arms and legs were stiff from cold and he could scarcely raise his head." The man was the Jonctta's captain, Ole Johansen, 34. He had watched four of his 10 crewmen freeze to death and had seen the other six swept away by the sea. but some thing kept him awake and fighting for survival. He told of his ordeal today in the N'amsos Hospital where he was reported in good condition and expected to recover, thanks to the Hartvikoy brothers. The Jonetta was sailing north through a storm and intense polar darkness Friday along the northwestern coast of Nor way when the cargo shifted in the storm, leaving the vessel unmaneuverable and at the mercy of tlie seas. A huge wave hit the ship and capsized it. There was no time to radio a distress signal.
