Diplomatic quarters expected the

10 one with but single member.
Compared with the past two
days when State Department Of
ficials explained the Charter and
urged ratification, today's was not
an orderly meeting. One witness
had to be escorted to he- seat
by police. Another was admonish-
ed against making personal re-
marks. A third protested his
right of free speech was being
infringed when he ran out of time.
And the spectators laughed re-
peatedly.
The first witness, Mrs. Agnes
Waters, Washington, representing
the National Blue Star Mothers,
told the committee the Charter is
part of general Communist
plot to control the world; that it
is "a fraud and a deceit and an
international conspiracy that will
knock down this nation and over
throw this government"
When she demanded more than
her allotted 10 minutes time, Con-
nally reminded her that Il can
make more noise than you can. -
Two capitol policemen escorted
her to her seat among the specta-
tors.
The Rev. ]. Paul Cotton, of the
Cleveland World Peace Forum,
with about Is members, said he
found some hing sinister about
the speed with which this Charter
is being railroaded through the
Senate.
II have written to the State De-
partment for a copy of the Char.
ter but I haven't received it.

clergyman said.

ordered, and a clerk did so.
II hope the Senators will vote
their true convictions, Cottof
observed.
What right have you to assume
that will not?" Connally snapped
Cotton's time was up before ne
was through, and Connally told HIN
he could place his full Statement

Many kinds were transplanted in.
