George Brandt, an American delegate at the conference, left for visits In Berlin, Vienna, Stuttgart and Hamburg.

A 8K)ketman said Brandt's mission would be "to gather Information from American sources concerning the number and type of persons who desire to leave Germany under the sponsoring of the permanent refugee organization established by the conference." The conference, which Presi dent Roosevelt called, ended 10 days of discussions with a ses sion which was marked by two developments. 1. Myron C.
