ready has begun, although it has
not vet gathered much, momen-
tum," he said.
The delegates met in the earnest
hope of revitalizing the sagging
conference, and to that end called
a full session of the conference for
May 23 and the steering commit
tee for April 30. The calling OF
the full conference was in spite of
the opposition of Great Britain.
The committee, however, en-
powered, Henderson to call the
commute later than April 80 and
the general commission later than
May % If the situation warranted
it.
1.-THE ornaments budgets of most
of the leading countries are be-
ginning to increase" Henderson
continued. "What are we going to
do? I appeal to you, and through
you, all members of the confer
ence, not to abandon the great en-
terprise to. which we are commit
ted, nor to fall into the error Of
supposing we can diminish our
difficulties by whiting down what
we set out to achieve"
Anthony Eden. British lord privy
seal, proposed that the general COM
ference not be called at present, but
that the steering committee meet
again towards the end of this
month or possibly later, to decide
when the conference should be
convoked.
Henderson, however. asked the
committee to fix a date for the
mesting of the general conference.

of the committee.
He suggested the proposed Brit

RED PLOT SCARE

BY EDWARD w. LEWIS
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

(Umte0 l>fcSS StdU SOrrcSpOilucHeJ
Washington, April 10-UP)-
DIR William A. Writ today named
Lawrence Todd Of the Soviet Tass
News Agency as the person who
referred to President Roosevelt as
the "Kerensky of this Revolution"
Todd has no connections with
the Brain Trust or the Federal
Government. He was correspond
ent here for the Federal Press,
organized labor publication, before
joining the Tass Agency. He is an
American citizen, and is descend
ant of a soldier who fought in the
American Revolution.
The Todd revelation came imme-
diately after Writ had named six
lesser brain trusters - three OF
them women as present at
party last September at which the
revolution charges were brought
out.
Anti Climax of Plot
Designation of Todd appeared to
bring the Writ red scare to anti
climax after an hour and 25 min
utes of testimony by the Indiana
educator.
The Red hunt started by a
statement contained in an article
written by Writ that one of the
Roosevelt Brain Trusts had COM
pared the President to Kerensky
who was the forerunner of the com
munist revolution which has led
Soviet Russia to Stain.
Writ, appearing before a house
investigating committee, said the
remark was made at dinner near
washington last September.
A group of Satellites" of the
brain trust were present.
Names Those Present.
He named Mary Taylor, eco
nomist of the AAA, and Hildegarde
Kneeland, of the agriculture de-
partment, as 'acquiescing" to
Todd's remark about "Kerensky."

welt but all of us were in the
