Congress Will Ignore Adjournment Law Again
ROY McGHEE reports that Congress will continue to violate the adjournment provision of the 1946 Reorganization Act by not adjourning sine die by July 31 each year. The piece notes past departures in 1952 and 1956, and recalls former Rep. Noah Mason who left on July 31 regardless of others’ presence.

Population Explosion Hits Clams at Newport Beach
UPI reports a wave of surf clam washing ashore at Newport Rhode Island drawing crowds from New York and Maine. Scientists offer competing theories with one saying currents dislodged beds while others cite a massive year class of two year olds. Beach managers hauled away thousands of tons of clams as locals and visitors collected the free shellfish. The event echoes a 1909 prior invasion in timing though not scale.
