Such last week were the miscellaneous harbingers of a new Congress, but there were others more specific. Representative Louis Ludlow of Indianapolis, hulking ex-newshawk who three months ago sent the Clerk of the House the draft of a bill with the request that it be the session's Bill No. -an honor which Wright Patman of Texas won at the last two sessions for his Bonus Bill-got it back all neatly printed.

Bedded in a Denver hospital, Oregon's eloquent Senator Frederick ("Three Long Years") Steiwer lamented the loss of "a good audience" of Senate Republicans to listen to him tell about his gall stone operation. Moaned he: "Imagine starting out, 'Now, when I had my operation,' and having only 15 or 20 around to hear!" Golfing and fishing at Miami...
