Only Putnam has vplus OF

hands, whose disposal is perplex
ing him.
According to his latest figures.
there are now 2,S30,OOO volumes in
the Congressional Library, and this
number is increasing at the rate
of 10000 a month, veritably eating
up shelving space.
II room is provided for all Of
them. a lot of the old books must
be thrown away. Putnam says, but
he frankly admits that he is at sea
as to where to begin the pruning
process.
Long experience, he explains. has
taught him that books considered
worthless today might become price
less in a few years, making their
disposal a delicate task.
Too often" he says, have gen.
erations of readers approved what
their predecessors neglected or Ue-
spised."
1t was sail last night that the
House Committee on the Disposition
of Useless Papers in the Executive
Departments may be asked to point
a way out of the dilema, as the COM
mittee has an effective, although
relentless way of taking care OF
