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.

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. Two crewmen

lowered a life boat down the
side as the Jonetta listed badly.
A wave smashed them and the
lifeboat against the side of the
ship and they were gone.
Johansen and his eight re
m a i n i n g crew members
launched the timber rait, hasti
ly stocked with provisions.just
as the Jonetta went down.
Waves surged into the raft,
washing away four of the men
and all the provisions.
