President Vetoes
January 7 Opening
For New Congress

In a rare action, President
Eisenhower has vetoed joint
congressional resolution on the
recommendation of both the Re-
publican and Democratic leaders
of the Senate and House.
AS result. the 85th Congress
will convene next January 3.
Assistant White House Press
Secretary Murray Snyder ex-
planned yesterday that the situa-
ton came about this way: Janu.
airy 3, the usual date for conven-
ing Of a new Congress, falls on
a Thursday next year. Congress
Sional leaders thought it would
be a good idea to postpone the
opening to the next Monday
January 7. and so passed a reso-
luton to that effect.
Then the leaders woke up to the
fact that January 7 is the date
prescribed by law for counting
the electoral votes for President
and Vice President. That coulc
not be done conveniently on the
same day that Congress assem-.
bles. So the unusual request tC
the White House for a veto.

ing storms and depend entirely
on official Weather Bureau re-
ports. Listen to radio and
television for late warnings.
2. Depart early from low
beaches or other areas which
might be swept by tides and
waves.
Home May Be Safer
3. The safest haven probably
is home, provided it is out of
tidal areas and has a securely
anchored roof and foundation.
4. Storm shutters or boarded
windows should be used for pro-
lection, but they should be Sc
curely fastened since makeshift
boarding could cause more dam
age.
S. Because gas. electric and
water sources might be damaged,
food not requiring refrigeration
Ior cooking should be stored, and
Sterilized bathtubs, jugs and bot
ties should be filled with water.
If water service is knocked out,
water should be boiled for sew
eral days after the storm until
its safety is established.
Store Loose Objects
6. All loose objects on and
around the building. which could
become destructive during the
storm, should be removed and
stored in safe place.
7. Remain in a safe place while
the "eye" of the hurricane is
passing directly over; the winds
may return suddenly more de-
IStructive than ever.
/ 8. Keep a good f1ashlight on
hand. Remain calm to cope with
emergencies.
I 9. After the storm, one should
guard against touching fallen
dangling wires, broken tree limbs,
food which might be spoiled by
refrigerator power failure, and
driving over debris-filled or
washed-out streets.

Mr.. Brownell pointed out that

Living With
The Heart

This is the story of a heart
beat. It's not a simple story.
Your heart is a four cham
bered pump, with two small
chambers, the auricleS, on
top; and two larger ones -
ventricleS, beneath them,
The top and bottom cham
beEs are connected by tiny
valves, but the left and right
sides are separate from each
other. A maze of veins and
arteries leads out from the
top of the heart, to carry
