American people for full support
and encouragement" of the project

Taylor Urges Caution.
Senator Taylor, Democrat, of
Idaho urged last night that the
President resist what he termed IAN
enormous amount of pressure" to
embody the Republican point of
view in his message, and stand by
a program to support and preserve
the gains made for the people under
three Roosevelt administrations
In drafting his budget message to
follow the State of the Union mes

ment analysts figure on a deficit of

year, in which spending is budgeted
at SAL 500, 100000. The President is

Senator Tydings, Democrat, of

an all-out Republican attack on the
trade program would have political
consequences at home that the party
might not like.

Elliott RooseveIt's Book
By the Assooiated Press

MOSCOW, Dec. 23.-An informed
source said today the Soviets would
publish Elliott Roosevelt's book, "As
He Saw It," in the Russian language
early next year.
The late Presidents son gave
Prime Minister Stain an auto
graphed copy of the book Saturday

book in Russian was made earlier,
it was said.
Mr.. Roosevelt and his actress wife
are flying from Moscow toward the
United States, expecting to spend
Christmas with Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt at Hyde Park, N. Y.
A Berlin dispatch today said they
left Berlin by plane for London this

Mr.. Roosevelt's interview with Mr.
Stain on the generalissimo's 67th

public indication that he had re-
turned to the Kremlin from a pro-
longed vacation. Mr.. Roosevelt said
Mr.. Stain appeared fit and in good
spirits.

bankruptcy for distribution to his
creditors.
Williams expressed a desire to
turn over any assets he has or may
have in the future to his creditors
In answer to the petition against
him personally filed by four of his
former statesmen and Leon L. Gibbs
who claimed he had done some
work for the real estate man. Will
liams admitted general indebted
ness, but said the exact amounts
would have to be determined He
also said he had no recollection of
work done by Mr. Gibbs, who claims
Williams owes him $500.
In answering the petition against
Williams trading as the George H
Williams Co., by the veterans, Will
liams pointed out that he had per-
mitted voluntary appointment of a
trustee for benefit of the creditors
He was referring to the deed of as
signment filed last week in Prince
Georges County Circuit Court under
WllISll lilo dSSCto WclS dSSlSllGu UO
Frank M. Kearney. This action,
which did not cover Williams Prop
critics, Inc, was interpreted by at
torneys for the veterans as an act OF
bankruptcy.
Case Goes to Referee.
The cases against Williams and
the George H. Williams Co. now GO
to the referee in bankruptcy, John
A. Bresnahan.
Mr.. Bresnahan said that as, soon
as he receives an order from the
court he will direct Williams to fur
nish him with list of creditors
Williams has five days to provide
the list.
AS soon as he has the list, Mr..
Bresnahan explained, he will call

The trustee or trustees then take

what can be done to distribute the
assets.
In an effort to find some method
of providing homes for the vet
Grams who put money into Williams
projects, officials of the Home Build
ers' Association of Washington
planned to confer today with Will
liams' lawyers.
The builders want to know what
obligations the real estate man has
assumed and what his commitments
are. The decision to go further into
the Williams projects was made at
a special meeting of the associations
Board of Directors yesterday.
'"Unfortunate Mistakes" Cited.
Edward R. Carr, association presi-
dent, pointed out that the board
lacked complete information about
Williams financial manipulations. y
Lacking previous experience in
the financing and construction of
homes" Mr. Carr added, sit seems
clear that Mr.. Williams has made
a number of unfortunate mistakes.
What can be salvaged for the
veterans who have made down pay
ments cannot be determined as yet,
but there is possibility that an
experienced builder could complete

others involved cooperate"
Group Warns Veterans.
At the same time the association
cautioned veterans not to deal with
any builder unless they have care
fully checked on his reputation and
experience in constructing homes,
"and if there is the slightest doubt
as to his responsibility OF experience,
all down payments should be made
il escrow with a bank or title
company, to be held until the
home is completed"
Mr.. Carr said an association
representative would attend the
meeting of veterans to be held
at 8 pm. Thursday in the District
Veterans Center.
The meeting will bring together
not only the veterans who put
money into the Williams projects
but also those who have offered
assistance to them in carrying on
their efforts to get their homes or
their money back.
The homes on which the veterans
made deposits were to be built at
Gwynn Park, at Oakton near Brent
wood, Md, and at Riggs Mill Manor
at the intersection of Riggs road and
the old Colesville road. Only the
homes at Gwynn Park have been
started. Williams held the deed to
Gwynn Park but did not own the
other two properties.

Llaison Division, said the universal

Barkley Calls Meeting.
For most of the Democrats it will
be question of giving up their work

flning themselves to the two they
will be allowed. Senator Barkley OF
Kentucky has summoned the new
minority for conference the same
day the Republicans meet. He al

their preference for committee spots.
Leslie Biffle, secretary of the Sen
, ate and chief aide to Senator Bark
ley, announced the meeting. Mr..
Biffle said the main issue to be de-
cided will be whether seniority in
total service in the Senate, or serv-
ice on various committees will de-
termine the. order in which the COM
mittee requests are filled. Once
that is determined, the 17-member
Democratic Steering Committee,
headed by Senator Barkley, will de-
eide the actually assignments.
Prediction came, meanwhile, from
Senator Capper, Republican, of
Kansas that the congressional re-
organization will be changed before
too long"
The reorganization is "a step in the
right direction" Senator Capper
said, land I do not look for the
number of committees to be in
creased materially, but there will
be shifts in jurisdiction. The
Senator spoke over the radio from
Topeka, Kans.

He would not be surprised, he
said, to see jurisdiction over Social
Security legislation shifted back
to the House Ways and Means
and the Senate Finance Commit
tees. 1t now lies with the House
Education and Labor Committee
and Senate Labor and Public
Welfare Committee.
In another organizational move,
Representative Wadsworth, Republi-
can, of New York, opened vigor-
GUS fight against the quiet drive to
block merger of the House Military
and Naval Committees as provided
by the reorganization bill.
In letters to all Republican men,
bers of Congress, he insisted the
consolidation would enable the
House for the first time in history
to get the full story" on the Ma
tion's military needs-Army and
Navy and Air Forces.
Mr.. WadsWorth, who was chair
man of the Senate Military Com
mittee when he served in that
chamber and is intimate with many
of the armed forces high command,
disputed the contention that crea-
ton of a single committee would
lead ultimately to the swallowing

lican of the Naval Committee and a

The third point of agreement was
about general economic clauses of
