Congress accomplished litfle.

But Democratic leaders insisted this did not dim the luster of the 88th's record and Johnson hailed as among the most fruitful in id. Nearly all of the major bills passed were reccanmended by the late President John F. Kennedy but only a few were sent to the White House before his assassination. On taldng over the presidency, Johnson immediately began a drive for every item on the and succeeded in winning passage of most of them These probably are the top accomplishments of the 88th: sweeping dvfl rights bill, passed in the Senate only after a 14-week Southern filibuster was broken by imposition of debate-limiting cloture, the first time this was done on dvil rights.

RED GUARD KILLED AT ENTRANCE (Continued From Page One) had set the number of tunnel escapees at between 300 and 400. Except for the entrance and a few yards in East Berlin, the tunnel was the same used last Jan. 6 by three East German girls. Other refugees were to have used that tunnel but it was discovered by a worker in an East Berlin coal yard where it ended.

Communist guards blew up the eastern end of the tunnel to make it unusuable but tunnel- lers dug another entrance. 300 -Foot Zone To prevent tunneling, the Red regime proclaimed a prohibited zone 300 feet wide on the Communist side of the wall. Only persons with special passes can enter this zone. The tunnel started in the cellar of a former baker, passed beneath the street stUl in West Berlin and then beneath the prohibited area. This means that the tunnel must have been from 450 to 600 feet long.

The refugees presiunably were taken to a West Berlin refugee camp. Authorities would not allow reporters talk to them. man Catholic Chmxih was not blameless in the discords that have split the Christian world. The council a gathering of Rmnan Catholic prelates from around the world also voted approval of an exhortation for all Catholics to work for Christian unity. Both votes came as balloting started in the assembly in St.

Peter's on a crucial schema on Christian unity, "De Decumen- ecumenism. Altogether four votes were taken on various parts of the first of three chapters in the schema. In the voting, the prelates: a statement that restoration of Christian unity was a main aim of the council, -Affirmed that Christ had desired unity of all men, 2,08130. differences that have caused separations in Christianity, and declared that such separations occurred "sometimes not without fault on both sides," an appeal to Catholics to work for Christian unity advising them to avoid mis- truths about other Christians and to follow lives that would bring credit to the Catholic Church in the eyes of non- Catholics, Council spokesmen, briefing newsmen on the activties in the closed council session in St. Peter's, said the voting today, in effect, also approved a historic new Roman Catholic way to refer to Protestants.

The document uses the term churches, and not communities or sects, as in the past. The spokesman explained that there was no direct vote on this wording, but that the approved articles were phrased in this manner.

They i Browning, Clifford John Ramsey, Throw Clay At British Candidate By MILTON LONDON (AP)-The British election campaign has begun to Uven up the last few days. Heckling is again in flower, but to oldtimers things still aren't what they used to be. They used to throw eggs and tomatoes. Sir Aleo Douglas-Home, the Conservative party prime minister who is leading his party into the Oct 15 election, faced hecklers at almost every stop during a tour of northwest London. George Brown, Labor's deputy leader, had a rough time from youngsters in tonshire.

Reginald Maudling, chancellor of the e-xchequer, was bombarded with modeling clay. Yet it's a far cry from the elections in Charles Dickens' day in the last half of tlie 19th century. At rallies in those days 250 or more demonstrators would be arrested at one time. Lt Col. Sir Thomas Moore, Conservative who gained his first election to Parliament in 1924, recalls he held 36 meetings in a fortnight, and half of them ended in a free-for-all.

"Things have quieted down a lot in the last few yeai-s, except in some of the more difficult seats," he says. "You should never lose your temper with hecklers and always make it appear you take the question seriously." However, he said, the thing to have been done with the youngsters who bombarded Maudling was to "call the fire brigade and turn the hose on them, I don't call that heckling." The question is somewhat academic for Sir Thomas. He's not running for Parliament this election. In 1951, heckling was boisterous. Herijert Morrison, the Labor party foreign minister in those days, had to call the police to one of his meetings.

Harold Wilson, who will be prime minister if Labor wins the election, has said: "I welcome heckling because it livens up the proceedings. However, organized breaking-up of meetings is a different matter." Detailed Weofher Report VESNON HHEATHER Saturday high 77, low 40. Sunday high 71, low 48. Rainfall 1964 to date 32.18 inches.

A lower federal court in Birmingham held the public accom- modatkjns section unconstitutional as applied to Ollie's Barbecue. In the Atlanta motel case the lower court found the section did not vwlate the Constitution. WASHINGTON (AP) Ab- sentedsm by both Democrat and Republican senators blocked a GOP effort today to force pre-election hearings on a political pay-off charge in the Bobby G. Baker case.

Oiiiy the chauman. Sen. B. Everett Jordan, and Sen. John Sherman Cooper, R- showed up at a closed meeting of the nine member Senate Rules Committee called by Jordan, Cooper had planned to offer a motion to have Baker, former Ambassador Matthew H.

Mc- Ooskey, and other key figures involved in the pay-off charge, summoned to testify later this week or the first of next week. But without a quorum of five members, no business could be transacted. After a brief discussion of the situation, Jordan and Cooper said they would get in touch with other members of the committee during the week to find out the prospects of getting absent senators to return here next week. Jordan was asked by newsman if he would urge liis absent Democratic colleagues to come back. "I'm not going to ask them to do tmytiiing," he replied, adding it was up to the members to decide for themselves.

However, Jordan said, "I'd like mighty well to get this thing deared up." Cooper said he would get in touch with Sens. Hugh Scott, Br and Carl T. Curtis, the absent GOP members of the committee, and urge them to return for early hearings. He said he saw no reason why the committee couldn't complete hearings in October on the pay-off charge, brought by Sen. John J.

Williams, if a quorum could be obtained. "I'm disappointed we could not get a quorum," he said. The Baker investigation, reopened last week by the committee on orders from the Senate, packs a potential political wallop because of Baker's dose association with President Johnson when Johnson was the Democratic leader of the Senate and Baker was secretary to the Senate Demcrats. The Rules Committee probed Baker's affairs last summer and found him "guilty of many gross improprieties." The payoff charge, leveled by Sen. John J.

Williams, in a Senate speech Sept. 1, led to new hearings last Thursday and Friday, but Baker, iMc- Qoskey, Williams and other key figiu-es were not called. Repubican presidential can- dieate Bary Goldwater and other' Republicans have accused the Democrats of a coverup and a whitewash in the Baker case under pressure fi-om tJie White House. Today's committee meeting, behind closed doors, was called by Chairman B. Everett Jordan, to dedde on Republican demands that public hearings on Williams' charge be hdd promptly.

But since Congress has adjourned, there is some doubt a quomm of the committee's nine members six Democrats and three Republicans can be obtained. Williams charged that Mc- Qoskey, a Philadelphia contractor who won the contract for construction of the Disti-ict of Columbia Stadium with a low bid of $14.2 million, made an overpayment of to Don B. Reynolds, a local insurance agent, on the premium for the performance bond. The senator called this "a kickback" and "a payoff" and said, on the basis of a statement from Reynolds, that $25,000 of it was channeled through Baker into the 1960 Kennedy- Johnson campaign fund. Williams displayed a copy of a $109,205.60 check from McCloskey's company to Reynolds.

He said this compared with the $73,631.28 "actuaUy owed" for the premium and commission on the stadium performance bond. Lamberts Attend Johnson Meeting Mr. and Isaac J. Lambert of Mt. Vernon attended the state organizational meeting of rural Americans for Johnson and Humphrey in Springfield.

WASHINGTON (AP) Coiw gress' mad rush toward ad. journment the last 24 hours waa more like a waltz for the Senate with lots of time out to rest aching feet. No fewer than four Friday did the Senate take a little recess. These ranged from two minutes to an hour.

AH caught up on work, the Senate waited for the House to act on the final two money bills. Bsfore a hassle developed Friday night on the impacted area school fundi in the supplemental bills, adjournment fever, madcap variety, held sway in both houses. In the Senate, which had time on its hands, there were speeches "from the heart." Everybody lauded Sen. HOr bert S. Walters, who if retiring from an interim ap- pomtment and did not choose td run for a full term.

"You're a good person," said Republican Leader Everett M. Dirksen of lUinois. It was Dirksen who tagged aS bases in "a few brief remaxioi as we near adjournment" Somehow no one was really sure of the transition he found himself searching for A description of "the great sodej. ty" President Johnson keepa saying he wants to point Araerf ca toward. "I found one," Diriisen Aj- clared.

"It's a song. I 'll tell yoa its name: 'the Big Rods Candy Mountain." This song reminded him dl others he said he would like tb hear on election night, ed to certain, particular persons. He hoped the bands would serenade Pierre Salinger, of late a Califomian again, witli me Back to Old ginia." That a sweet Hoosler choraa would crron to Vance Hartice. "Back Home in Indiana," and that Philip Hart would listen to "In Michigan," and WUUam Proxmire to "On Wisconsin." All of those named happen to be Democratic senator up tor re-dection. Dirksen then dropped his merry twitting for what he termed a serious and "much deserved" tribute to Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield of Montant, whose manner he likened to "One Who long ago walked tte shores of Galilee." To this Mansfidd responded he was touched by Dirksen'a tribute but that he hoped to tea all the boys named for serenading back, maybe with a few new teammates.
