Speakers kept making speeches and the black-clad Miss Sumner (who's been reducing lately and looks better for iD kept trying to interrupt them, without much luck. Rep. A. l.. Miller of Nebraska mentioned the Prince of Peace at Christmas time and Rep. Clare Hoffman of Michigan retorted:
 we're all against sin so far as know, but if Christ and his fol- lowers couldn't bring permanent peace in 2,000 years, then I haven't much hope for any organization we can create in the next few weeks"
 More speeches and more attempt ed remarks by Miss Sumner brought the subject around to the wages of the U. s. delegates. Rep. Sol Bloom of New York said they'd get $l2,00O a year each, unless they were Congressmen, who would col lect only one salary. Finally Miss Sumner got five minutes. She said that wasn't enough. She got 10.
 Microphone Broken
 'The same old war mongers are masquerading as princes of peace at Christmas time" she shrilled into the microphone. The pitch of her voice went higher and the coffin-shaped loud-speaker near the ceiling vibrated as she contin- ued:
 .This new world plunderbund will set up headquarters in Holly wood or some less appropri- ate place. We have so many people here in high office whose hearts beat with an adulterouS love for some foreign governments that -. we have joined the dance of death on the European and Asiatic battlefields."
 Miss Sumner took a final, deep breath and cried: MT. Speaker I do not feel that can sit here and participate in this shameless roll call"
 She went out. So did the micro- phone. The electrician said he guessed he'd have to install new one.
