Mrs. Redalia Matthews. There are

Several important features in
the draft of the Organic Act pro-
posed by the legislators were dis
cussed in an atmosphere of great
harmony and a full measure of
understanding was reached.
Members of the legislative de-
legation, along with several main
land leaders will go, to Washing
ton next week to ho1dsconferences
with members Of Congress to urge
favorable consideration of the
Peoples Bill and to persuade the
House Committee on Insular af-

The conferences marked the
first time in the islands history
that leaders at home and on the

posed their differences in a spirit
of give-and-take and merged their
efforts toward the attainment of
such a major objective.
