While Broadway was showering
it's ticker tape and other evidence of
welcome today upon Premier Ram
say Macdonald, tribute was paid to
the British statesman and bis mis-.
sion on the floor of the Senate.
Senator Dill CD Of Washington
declared MacDonald's visit "repre-
sents the hopes not only of the
masses of people of the British En-
pire but also the masses OF people
Of this country for world peace"
BY a coincidence. the Senate re-
cessed a few minutes after this
speech on world peace in order to
greet Sergt. Alvin T. York, one of
the World War heroes, who was es-
corted on the floor by Senator Nc
Kellar CD of Tennessee.
When York entered the Senate
chamber, Senators arose en- masse
and applauded him. The reception
followed.
A little later, Senator King D)
of Utah, paid tribute to the memory
of DIR. Gustav ,Stresemann, German
prime minister. King said Strese.
mann was "one of the great men
Of our time"
His passing Is misfortune not
