More than 300 des cendants were present. It was an all day affair begin ning at 11 o’clock In the morning and lasting until late afternoon. First them waa socializing! and talking with members of the fam ily who had not met in years, a look at the new additions, a count ing of noses to see who had died, and then everyone brought out the food baskets. There was enough for more than a thousand people. BEGAN IN 1935 The tradition began in 1921 when the children of John Aus tin Ennis, who owned a large farm between Benson and Coats, decided to keep up with other members of their clan. The first meeting was held at the Primitive Zion Church; later it was moved into homes of various members of the family. Now, after year* of moving around (no one knows how long) , the reunion has moved back to the original site. When plans for the reunion were being formulated for the first time, birthdays of the 12 children were considered as a possible time. Three of the children were born In July, so the first reunion wus held In that month on Rose!!* Minis Harbour’s birthday. That waa on Friday that year, and many of the following reunions were held during the week. Finally it was decided to move, the day tp Sun day to Increase attendance. The day has since been established— it’s the third Sunday In July. Manrfsr for family vatherfig this yea:- were: R. O. Minis, Dunn; Thurman G. Ennis. Dunn; Curtis B. Ennis, Dunn: Joel E.

C., MONDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 20, 1953 j Leaders Aiming For Congress To End On July 31 WASHINGTON OP) Re publican congressional lea ders said at the White House today they are still aiming for a July 31 adjournment but told President Eisen hower they will extend the session of necessary to com o^ram. They listed these things which “must be done before we get out.” Pending appropriations bills, Re ] ciprocal Trade Act extension, oil . rights in the outer continental shelf emergency refugee legislation, . higher postal rates, farm credit extension, military publics works authorizations, a small ' business loan agency, Senate ratification of five treaties on commerce and ntv igatlon and an agriculture surplus disposal measure. Acting Senate Republican leader William F. Knowland said those are “prlorty” bills but others may also be run through “If we have time.” He said the others conceiv ably could include Hawaiian state- | hood and legislation on disposal of government-owned synthetic rub ber plants. CAN BE MET Both Knowland and House Speak er Joseph W. Martin J. said Con gress can meet the July 31 dead line—if it wants to. “Os course It would mean .we would have to step on the gas,” Marttevsaid. ‘lt would mean more action and less talk.” Marital and Knowland have no secretary target date-ter adjourn ment because, they think the July 31 goal can be met. But they said they are prepared to hold Congress until all "must” bills are cleared no matter how long it takes. Knowland said If need be he will call Senate sessions to start as ear ly as 9 .or 10 am. and continue until midnight for the next (wo weeks.

I FIVE CENTS PER COPY WASHINGTON OP) Sen. Her bert H. Lehman, a Jew, told the Senate today Sen. Joseph R. Mc- Carthy made a “false and ridi culous charge . . . pure demagog uery in" accusing a colleague of anti-Semitism. McCarthy said in a television broadcast last night that criticism by Sen. A. S. (Mike) Monroney UD-OQa.) of his tow Investigators —Royi M. Cohn and G. David J Bchinh—was “-the mostt flagrant, the most shameful example of an ti-Semitism.” To a man, Sens. John L. Mc- Clellan, Henry M. Jackson and Stu art Symington branded McCar-| thy’s accusation as “completely, “false.” They inslster their resig nations were a protest against Mc- Carthy’s “one-man” rule. McCar thy said the real reason for the Democrats’ action was that they were afraid to help the subcom mittee expose “the corruption and communism” In the old Truman \ 1 administration. “I don’t blame the Democrats for quitting.” he said. “They were in an embarrassing position ... one of them said to me the more the committee does the more abuse well take.” McCarthy noted that McClellan was running for re-election in Ark ansas- next year. He said Sym ington had been mentioned as a possible Democratic presidential candidate. COMPARES WITH MOLOTOV He compared his former sub committeemen to “small, irrespon sible little boys who pick up their marbles and go home” when things go badly. He also compared them , with Soviet Foreign Minist«r V. M. Molotov, referring to Russian walk outs from the United Na tions. Lehman, Mew York Democrat, came to Monroney’s defense and lashed at McCarthy, Wisconsin Re- j publican. “I, a Jew, sensitive to any j religious bias, have been strongly critical of the behavior of these young men and have pointed out that they have been doing oui country and the cause, of anti communism great harm both here and abroad,” Lehman told the Sen ate. .'• McCarthy was not in the floor <Oa*MaaMl Pa«r «*•) Dunn Fir® Gets Large Contract The O.
