Under the rules of the Senate those who occupy the galleries are not permitted to make any manifesâ€" tations of approval or disapproval of the floor debates. But on several occasions in the past week the Preâ€" siding Officer felt it necessary to admonish the galleries for bursts of applause. The whole atmosphere is so tense, the debate so earnest and the issue so serious that it is diffiâ€" cult for those listening to control their feelings, particularly when a Senator emphasizes an important point or makes a brilliant retort to Monday, Oct. 2nd, the greatest deâ€" liberative body in the world â€"the United States Senateâ€"began its consideration of the Neutrality Bill (H. J. Res. 306) reported by the It is truly a momentous historic issue. A surprising number of peoâ€" ple have journeyed to Washington in the hope of hearing some of the debate. The small Senate galleries, which seat only 100, cannot possibly accommodate the crowds that seek admission. Several hours before the Senate convenes each day at 12 noon the corridors leading to the gallerâ€" ies are lined with hopefuls. And each day the Senate Chamber itself is lined with Members of the House, some standing and some seated, along the back wall. After the measure was called up by Senator Key Pittman, (D), of Neâ€" vada, chairman of the Foreign Reâ€" lations Committee, Senator Alben W. Barkley, of Kentucky, the Maâ€" jority Leader, rose to make a few preliminary remarks. While my analogy is not a parâ€" ticularly good one, in view of the seriousness of the issue, the Majorâ€" ity Leader‘s remarks were someâ€" thing like the instructions of a game. He asked the Senate to keep the debate on a high plane, that the discussion be kept free of personâ€" alities and implications as to moâ€" tives and that all cooperate for a speedy disposal of the question. Senator Charles L. McNary, of Oreâ€" gon, the Minority Leader, then rose in his place across the aisle to state that the Republicans would cooperâ€" ate, that all the Minority Senators asked was "opportunity for full and free discussion." In the course of his preliminary remarks Senator Barkley said: "I am sure that all Senators, as well as all the people of the United States, appreciate the seriousness of the legislation we are about to take up for consideration. I think I am not exaggerating when I say that the discusion of the pending joint resolution during its consideration by the Senate may go down in hisâ€" tory as one of the historic discusâ€" sions of the Senate of the United by Raiph E.

Mrs. Damon is being hailed as one of the country‘s most delightful humorists. She will lecâ€" ture at Lake Forest on Friday, Noâ€" vember 3. Mrs. Damon is the wife of Prof. Lindsay T. Damon, who recently reâ€" tired as the head of the Brown uniâ€" versity depariment of English. The Damons make their home at Alton, N. H., during most of the year and Not only do the crowds that packâ€" ed the Senate galleries and corriâ€" dors and the unusually large volume of mail b’ received reflect the seriousness the issue. It is reâ€" flected in the address thus far deâ€" livered. As a general rule Senators do not speak from a manuscript but bie" affair. To refuse to yield to another Senator for a question has been frowned upon and, in some inâ€" stances resented. On this issue, however, speeches are carefully prepared in advance and read, with the speaker departâ€" ing from his manuscript only now and then. The Senators recognize that what they say makes an imâ€" portant chapter in our history. They realize their words will be quoted in various parts of the world and may cause repercussions. Each word is carefully chosen and in order to prevent any misunderstandings or erroneous interpretations of their respective views, the Senators have seen fit to write their address in adâ€" vance of its delivery. The recent marriage of Marjorie Hillis, author of "Live Alone and Like It," has necessitated revision of the list of speakers for the Lake Forest college lecture series, which will open October 19. Since deciding that living alone is not entirely satâ€" isfactory, the widely known authorâ€" ess has cancelled all speaking enâ€" gagements in which she was to have talked on that subject. She had been booked to speak im Lake Forest on November 6. After the preliminary remarks by Senator Barkley and those of Senaâ€" tor McNary on the opening day, Senator Pittman proceeded to outâ€" line the bill and the administration‘s argument. He was followed by Senâ€" ator William E. Borah, (R), of Idaho, the Ranking Minority Memâ€" ber of the Foreign Relations Comâ€" mittee. During the coming weeks, as the debate progresses, I hope to be able to summarize the various arguments made on this issue, emphasizing the major points as I see them. I shall welcome reader suggestions or quesâ€" tions, and shall try, as best as I can, to contribute to public underâ€" standing of the question, Mrs. Bertha Damon Scheduled to Speak on College Series ly from a The other speakers to appear in mllog- Ml:: originally co are as announed.
