Science Congress
Awaits Roosevelt
Speech Tonight
Delegates Expect
President to Dwell
On New War Phases

With Constitution avenue aflame
with the flags of 81 nations in well
come, the best minds of two CONT
nents were mingling in the palm
inclosed patio of the Pan-Americar
Union this morning, while they were
furnished with credentials for the
Eighth American Science Congress
They have come from all over the
New World to hear reports on re-
searches ia the fundamental laws OF
nature. But geology and snathe-
maticS and medicine had little place
in the conversations Of little English
speaking and Spanish-speaking
groups in the Pan-American Union
halls as late editions of the news
papers told the latest news from
Europe, and it occurred to the dele
gates that they may have arrived in
Washington to become part of the
setting of an historic occasion.
5000 in Attendance.
The congress, with approximately
5000 In attendance, will convene at
Constitution Hall tonight to listen
to an address by President Roose-
welt, which, the delegates speculated
may go far beyond conventional
welcome. The President will have
an opportunity to speak to some OF
the leading figures of the Western
Hemisphere, many of them govern
ment officials and official delegates
from their countries.
The first scientific. session was
scheduled this afternoon, an organ
ization meeting of section on eco
nomics and sociology in the assembly
hall of the Freer Gallery with Will
liam S. Culbertson, former Ambas-
sador to Chile, as speaker. A few
scientific meetings are scheduled Tor
tomorrow but the majority of the
sections will not get under way be-
fore Monday.
Delegates Welcomed.
DR.. Alexander Wetmore, assistant
secretary of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition and secretary general Of the
congress, was busy welcoming the Of
fetal delegates. He said that at least
800 from other countries already had
been provided with credentials. Most
of the delegates, including those
from scientific societies, universities
and institutions from all over the
United States, are already in Wash
ington.
Tomorrow afternoon a trip to
Mount Vernon is being arranged for
the visitors and tomorrow night
there will be the official reception
at the American Union at which
the delegates will be presented to
President Roosevelt, his cabinet and
members of the diplomatic corps.
