TEACHER REP[EV|N
ACTION ATTACKED
Librarian of Congress Holds
$35O,OOO Collection Prop
erty of U. S.

Herbert Putnam, librarian Of Con-
gress, today fled in the District Su-
preme Court demurrer to suit IN
replevin recently brought against him
to surrender the John Boyd Thatcher
collection of Napoleonic and French
revolutionary material, valued at $780,
600. which has been in the Library OF
Congress since April, 1910. The col
lection includes priceless examples OF
the autographs of Kings, Queens, En-
perors and Popes
The suit was instituted by George
C. Treadwell and Hugh Reilly, as ex-
ecutors of the will of Mrs. Emma T.
Thatcher of Albany, N. Y, widow OF
John Boyd Thatcher, wealthy manu-
facturer with a hobby for collections,
The claim was made that the terms
of Mrs. Thacher's will IN reference 70
the collection had not been carried out
by Putnam.
Through United States Attorney Leo
A. Rover and Assistant United States
Attorney John w. Finely, the librarian
of Congress claims the suit IS against
the United States, in effect, which has
not consented to be sued, and the sub
ject-matter is the property OF the
United States.
The jurisdiction of the court is also
attacked by Rover and FINELY on be-
half of the United States at the sug-
gestion of the Attorney General in a
separate plea. The Thatcher collection,
according to the plea, has been In pos
session of the United States, through
its officers and agents of the Library
of Congress, since April, 1910, when 1t
was deposited by the former owner,
Mrs. John Boyd Thacher. The man
ner in which the collection was utilized
and treated by the United States was
well known to Mrs! Thatcher in her
lifetime and was satisfactory to her, as
is evidenced by her will, giving the en-
tire collection to the United States, to
be held forever in the custody OF the
Librarian Of Congress, who has main
tanned 1t in the same manner as before
her death and Is striving to carry out
the wishes and provisions Of her VIII.
The Government insists that the
court lacks jurisdiction of the case
which it asks to be stricken from the
files and all proceedings dismissed.
The executors, who fled the suit,
were represented by Attorneys Charles
D. Williams, Richard H. Wilmer and G.
Rowland Chase.

CENSUS BUREAUS
FOOD ISSUE SOLVED
Work Started on Cafeteria
Large Enough to Care for
5000 Employees.

With an ample cafeteria in prepara-
ton for an opening in 10 days, the
Census Bureau seems to have won its
long struggle to provide luncheon facili-
ties for its 5000 employees in the face
of Controller General McCarIs refusal
to authorize an expenditure for that
purpose.
Space has been cleared on the ground
floor of the main building for a cafe
terra of about $50 by 80 feet, and work.
men today were beginning the installa-
ton of restaurant equipment. The res
taurant is being equipped and viii be
operated by the ONCE of Public Build
ings and Public Parks.
New Building for Machinery.
That Office also erected new build
ing nearby to accommodate electrical
ONCE machinery and filing equipment
moved from the space to be occupied by
the cafeteria. The change was made,
it was explained, because the old space
was not ample or suitable to accommo-
date the additional Office machinery and
workers needed to get out the census
reports.
When the census took on thousands
of new employees last Summer, the cafe
terra facilities were inadequate to care
for them. One small lunch room in the
main building could accommodate only
a few hundred employees. With only q
half hour for lunch, the thousands Of
others were forced outside to buy their
MONDAY meals from food hawkers In
the street.
Scraps Left in Work Rooms.
With the approach of cold weather,
more and more employees have been
bringing their lunches with them and
eating them in Offices. Omcials say a
"deplorable" condition has resulted from
the scattering OF scraps of food in the
work rooms.
The controller general refused to au-
thorize an expenditure for the cafeteria
ON the ground that so many Of the
Census Bureau employees were tenn
,porary.
\ later appeal was made by the Sec
rotary of Commerce. which was again
denied after McCarl had reconsidered
the question.

Contract for construction of the new
Roosevelt High School, a $500, 900
project, probably will be awarded the
w. p. Rose Co. of Goldsboro, N. c.,
which is building the new Eliot Jun
Tor High School, despite protest sub
mitted to the Commissioners by Wash
ington labor leaders against giving con-
tracts for municipal work 60 foreign
firms.
A cursory examination of the 10 bids
for construction of the new school, 1t
was indicated today, shows that the
Rose company submitted the lowest bid
on the basis of Is alternatives included
in the specifications. The lowest straight
bid, however, was submitted by the Ma
tional Construction Co.
Site at Thirteenth and Upshur.
The bids will be turned over to the
municipal architects Office for study
before the contract is finally awarded.
Thre is a strong likelihood, it was said,
that the architects will approve the al
terantiveS, since they can be included
in the plans without exceeding the
authorized appropriation for the build
ing. In this event, the Rose company
will be given the contract.

CHICAGO, Oct. 27.-In spite of
endless research and experiment by

R. E. Carlson of the Westinghouse

For fog penetration the differ

lamps and neon lamps, often
claimed to be plainly visible in fog,
is not great enough to measure

LONDON, oct. 27.-Opening of

How precarious is the position OF
the government, is shown by an an
alysis Of the present position of the
parties. There are 288 Labor men,
berts; the opposition may muster 260
Conservatives, 80 Liberals, indie

of 81 over the government.
Whether they succeed in doing so
depends upon a multiplicity Of

Unemployment Is Issue
Many Independent critics believe
the present government in it's first
seventeen months of Office has
achieved a creditable record in its
foreign policy and in its social leg
aslative program at home.
But unemployment today Is al
most double what it was when the
Labor government took Office in
June, 1929, on a platform which
promised radical improvement Of
