Prayers for Peace Led by Eisenhower
By UNITED PRESS
President Eisenhower led millions of Americans today in prayers for peace.
His appeal for a day of prayer for world amity received little support, however, from state and local officials.
Only in Dallas was a special public observance made of the day of prayer.
Many mayors and governors even confessed that they weren't aware of Mr. Eisenhower's request.
However, in scores of other cities ministers threw open the doors of their sanctuaries and citizens filed in individually to offer up their appeal for God to give men the spiritual strength to bring peace on earth.
In his proclamation, the President called for a day of prayer as "an act of faith so strong as to annihilate the cruel, artificial barriers erected by little men between the peoples who seek peace on earth through the divine spirit."
Mr. Eisenhower set an example for the nation by going to chapel early today at Lowry Air Force Base.
The President yesterday invited people of the iron curtain countries to join Americans in asking God to bring men international good will.
There were no reports of any employers giving workers time off so that they might attend church for services.
The Voice of America broadcast the appeal to Communist nations. It is estimated that there are 80 million Christians in Eastern European satellites and 50 million in Russia proper.
Most of the Communist governments profess to allow their people to practice religion.
It was believed, however, that many non-Catholic churches ignored the President's suggestion for prayer today in favor of a worldwide week of prayer, to be observed early next year, by the World Council of Churches.
At Dallas, the city's busiest street intersection was blocked to traffic for 20 minutes so lunch-hour
Workshop Studies 3 Amendments
A workshop of the Kansas League of Women Voters sponsored by the Bureau of Government Research met here yesterday to discuss three proposed amendments to the Kansas Constitution.

The meeting opened with a welcoming address from Chancellor Franklin D. Murphy, followed by a discussion period conducted by Dr. Ethan P. Allen, bureau director.
Twenty - seven representatives from 12 Kansas cities attended the workshop. Its purpose was to provide league leaders with background material.

At famed Boys Town in Nebraska, the institution's youth planned to attend special devotional services this evening.
throngs could pause and join together in prayers conducted by Lt. Col. John A. Morrison of the Salvation Army, hear Mayor R. L. Thornton read a proclamation in support of the President's appeal, and sing "O God, our Help in Ages Past."
