 Delegates stood and applauded. Soon after Mrs Roosevelt had talk en her seat on the platform, Mrs Hoover appeared and sat three chairs away.
 In her speech, Mrs Brady said:
 Five years ago our beloved friend. Mrs Herbert Hoover, my predecessor as chairman of the board. had the vision to foresee the value of national plan and helped greatly in its initiation" She was referring to a 1ong-tefn plan for Girl Scout organization.
 Delegates .applauded and Mrs Roosevelt joined in the applause. When Mrs Brady had finished, Mrs Hoover rose and said:
 1T should just love to say some thing to you. When the five year plan was proposed there wasn't much to the plan. It all depends on how the chairman puts it over.
 In contrast to Mrs Roosevelt. Mrs Hoover wore the regulation forest green Girl Scout uniform.
 Mrs Roosevelt's tribute to Mrs Hoover came early in her speech.
 q feel that you have been in the past few years particularly fortunate in having as your hon orary president a leader and a wo- man who already had long experl- ence in the Girl Scout movement, she said. (Mrs Hoover is known as the only Girl Scout who ever reached the White House).
 '.In me, unfortunately, you have not that same experience, but l can assure you that l bring you much interest, and I have always had a particular interest in the girls growing up today and for that reason one must have an interest in the Girl Scout movement, TOT that movement is exerting a. con stantly spreading influence, nc. only in our own country pu' throughout the world"
 At the end of the morning ses- sion, Mrs Roosevelt left the plat form immediately, using the near est exit. Mrs Hoover remained seat ed for several minutes.
 Honor guests, scouts and scout leaders to the number of about 70 then assembled in one of the hotel parlors for group picture. The seating arrangement for the pnoto- graph placed the first lady and the former first lady almost side oy side, with only Mrs Edy between them, but again reporters noted that there was no sign or recog- nition between them.
 The picture taken, Mrs Roosevelt walked to an elevator and went up to Mrs Edy's room. Mrs Hoover also went upstairs. but in another elevator.
 This afternoon Mrs Roosevelt and Mrs Hoover were luncheon guests of Mrs Brady at the Chiffon club.
