For the June meeting, the Wom-
ems Association of the Presbyterian
Church turned its attention to the
United Nations" which had been
the subject of study among the
Guilds during part of the years
program.
Devotions by Mrs. Frank L.
Baldwin, were taken from some of
the statements that had been made
in 1855 on the occasion of tenth
anniversary of the signing of the
"U.N." charter, which she stated
is still most applicable. In referT-
ing to the Churches and the
'U.N.'" one statement, was most
meaningful, "A new will to collab-
crate must be born in the hearts of
men if the U.N.' is to succeed"

opening, which was directed by
Mrs. Walter Weaver, first vice
president in the absence of Mrs.

laby."
The program on the United Ma
tions, was presented by Mrs. Clin-
ton Stickel of the London High
School faculty. In a most compre-
hensive talk on the operation of
this august body, Mrs. Stickel
broke the subject down into its
six most important component
parts, The General Assembly, the
Security Council, the Economic and
Social Council, Trustees Council,
International Court of Justice and
the Secretariat and discussed the
functions of each. She concluded
her part of the program with Presi-
dent Eisenhower's summation of
the Importance of the United Ma
tions, which he considers a sheer
necessity, stating, 1T still repre-
sents mans best organized hope
to substitute the conference table
for the battlefield"

Senator Knowland pointed

cratic Leader johnson served
notice the Senate will stay in
session next week if necessary
to finish its job.
Il hope and believe we will
be able to give every Senator
who wants to be heard ample
time this week." said Senator
johnson. But if not we'll be
here next week. There is moth
ing so compelling elsewhere to
cause us to leave"
Reports persisted at the Cap
itol. however. that leaders have
not abandoned all hope of adj
journing by tonight or tomor-
row.

Meanwhile, Senators were
sitting idly by while Senator
Thurmond's voice droned on in
a monotone of protest against
the compromise Jury trial
amendment in the civil rights
bill.
He took the floor at 1854
o'clock last night and was still
going early this afternoon, but
not very strong.
There were no indications
that any Of the other Southern
Senators were preparing to Join
in a filibuster, but Senator
johnson said cautiously:
mo other speeches of unusual
length are scheduled. but the
one being delivered now was
not scheduled either"

how long the Senator would
keep going.
It was the first time the
Senate had stayed in round
the-clock session since 1854.
The days regular sitting started
at 10 am. yesterday so at noon
the Senate had been in session
