While it is designed as a "get to-
gether" and harmony" affair there
is some doubt in the minds of some
people as to the extent of boni-fide
harmony and the true get-together
spirit that will be on hand. One
paper states that the strange part
about the dinner is that 1t has been
organized by group of insurgents
and not by the regular insiders, -
and that yesterdays developments
indicated that the harmony" may
have to be laid on with shillalaghs.
