SAN FRANCISCO - One OF
the most pathetic facets of this
United Nations Conference has
come from a lot of half-lost lit
tie people who, not belonging to
any organization and not repre-
senting anyone but themselves,
have nevertheless come here be-
cause they want so very desper-
atcly TO help make the peace.
How they got here, where they
stay, who pays their bills, no
body knows. But somehow they
think that their lone voices, cry
ing in the wilderness of inter-
national sin on the Barbara
Coast, will start something. And
they are living proof to the dele
cations from AZ other nations
here gathered that in a demo-
cracy where freedom of speech
is a gospel, every man is indeed
a king even when he's crack
pot.
In a kaleidoscope of San Fran
cisco memories there will always
linger the image Of leanfaced
ascetic passing out little slips OF
paper on which was printed the
breath-taking news that A. c. S.
Raymond of Orange, N. j., had
come to San Francisco for just
one purpose-to put God into
the United Nations Charter.
"Al Raymond will be alone at
the San Francisco Conference
for the liberty of man, woman
and child said the printed slip
and towards the end there was
the telling confession that, Il am
free moral agent, as was Daniel
in the lions den"
