Othman (United Press Correspondent) Washington, July 13 (U.R It was ladies' day at the sena torial hearing on peace; yep, it took two cops to quell the fray.

Peace. It must be wonderful. : Everybody Sor. . . In the senate . caucus room nearly everybody was sore at everybody else. The plumpish, blondish Mrs. Waters tangled with the police because she wouldn't stop when her time was up. She subsided finally after looking the red-faced Connally In the eye and shrilling: "I'm not afraid of all the devils in hell." Came then a parade of ladles of indefinite ages, who peered at the senators through their lorgnettes, pine nez and horn rims and announced with appro priate table-pounding that the San Francisco charter was a phoney. There were some men, too, but let's be gallant and con sider next the testimony of Mrs. Florence H. Griesel, a Chicago blond with blue car bangles matching the gleam in her eye. She told Sen. Joseph F. Guf fey of Pennsylvania that she couldn't speak if he persisted in whispering. That quieted him; Mrs. Griesel took a deep breath and a long look at the commit tee. Then she said: "I can remember when it was a thrill to be an American. Shame on you senators. Look what you've done; Why didn't you work to keep' this country COTTON CHECK WASHABLE Gay checks handled demurely, the sweetly squared neck is bor dered with exquisite embroidery that ties into a winsome bow. And the short sleeves have a deep band of the same delicate embroidery. The cylinder-slim skirt, softly flared, completes the lovely silhouette.

If you men who voted for a war had to fight it, there'd be an armistice." Will Run For Congress The senators sat there silently. Mrs. Griesel said it was time they were replaced; she said she intended to run for congress her self. "Thank you very much," said Connally. Things went on from there with ladies of all sizes de nouncing the peace charter, the senate, communists, Great Brit ain and probably some other things I don't remember. Connally, who never knew what was up when he set aside a day for opponents of the charter, called a new one every 15 minutes and eventually reach ed Mrs. H. V. Somers of Phila-; delphia, who said she represent ed, herself, the government and the American people. , "That's a very good represen tation." Connally commented, while Mrs. Somers shuffled her notes and had such trouble de ciphering her own writing that the microphone boomed ner words: "Oh. darn It." She said, when the laughter subsided, that the charter was a scheme to return America to the British and she cried: "Gentle men, please do not be just plain dupes. Culbertson Too "Please, Mrs. Somers," the chairman interrupted. "Talk in- to the microphone. Some of the senators do not hear well. And so on, from 10 a. m. yes terday until 5:30 p. m., and I better get in a mention now of the men, including Ely Culbert son, the bridge playing expert, and David Darrin, president (and only member) of the United Na tions of Earth association. Culbertson said in a thick Rus sian accent that the peace as sembly would consist of mice. presided over by a few cats, Darrin, a tall, spare Washing- tonian, said his private United Nations consisted of himself, but that he would get some more members later. He said he would leave for the Record, if Connally promised to print it, the book he'd spent the last 20 years writing. Connally wouldn't promise. "Then I won't leave it," Dar rin snapped. He didn't, either. As for me, I'm all worn out; its wearying listening to angry people battle about peace.
