Mr. Molotov was on the platform as the chairman today; you've no doubt seen pictures of the way the men are seated there. I was very much interested in the way the speakers were introduced; of course, Molotov introduced them in his native language; then his interpreter gave us his words in English. After the introduction, the speaker shook hands with Molotov, as he did at the conclusion of his address.

Knox Enjoys Thrilling Last Day At Conference; Sees Soong
By Eloise Knox
This afternoon as I sat in Section U. Box II, of the Opera House for the Ninth Plenary Session, I think I couldn't have been happier. Because of the generosity of Jack Hamley, of the San Francisco I.N.S. office, I was given a press pass which admitted me to the conference itself! And I can't wait longer to tell you, Soong was one floor below me to the left. Once you located him, he was easy to find again. Among the group he was with, his most distinguishing characteristic was his attentiveness to the speaker. He seemed to be drinking in every phrase, and forming opinions constantly.
Opera House Commands Attention
Opera House Commands Attention
The Opera House is a beautiful building. The stage background is in dark blue; the 46 flags are draped in half moon fashion a few feet in front of the back wall; the carpets on the stage and in the aisles are a gorgeous light blue; the seats are henna in color, and looked very comfortable.
The delegates do not appear to have designated sections, but sit where they prefer. There were a few women in the delegation section (first floor) this afternoon. Balconies Packed, Cameras Roll
outcomes Packed, Cameras Roll First balcony, where the box seats are, was filled with people of the press and photographers. Constantly, as speakers delivered their addresses, the camera men and women are busy both on first floor and in first balcony. In the newspeople's press boxes, telephones are installed so that reporters can constantly keep in touch with their offices.
Both balconies above were packed. Opera and field glasses were seen everywhere, and people were obviously craning for a better look at the delegates on first floor. Reporter Turns in Pass
Reporter Turns in Pass
It's all over for me; I turned in my pass tonight; I had hoped to keep when I found I couldn't, for that little piece of paper had admitted me it for a souvenir, but didn't fuss to the most eventful, most thrilling week of my life.
I left the scenes of the United Nations Conference activities knowing that a great work is being done there. And I feel confident that if the best efforts of these trained men are guided by Him who doeth all things well, the United Nations Conference on International Organization will accomplish its purpose.
