Governor Albert C. Richie could not

Mr.. Brough quoted Chief Judge Sam

Marylands vote would go to Robinson
after Richie. "Of course, remember
the luncheon here in August at which
former Gov. Brough says Judge Denis
made that statement" Mr.. Radcliffe
said. but there was no specific reference

that. It was all in the most casual
manner"
r. Hill Carruth, also present, said
his memory of the incident was the
same as that of Mr.. Radcliffe.
Judge Dennis said that he did not
know until after the luncheon the
identity of the former Governor OF Ar
kansas.
There was no reference to the NOM

control in the next Congress.
"The Republican majority viii prob

'but, paraphrasing Mercutio's famous
reference to his wound and applying
it to the next Congress, our majority
may not be ss overwhelming as at

pointing to a change IN more than

"Over half the people in the United
States now have access to public library
service, but in the South only about

we do not only have to catch up on our

in step in providing library facilities
with the rapid advancement in other
fields. economic, industrial and educa-
tional.
THE type of service best adapted to
our conditions is the county unit. BY
this method a central library Is estab-
liShed in each county and books are
made accessible to the whole area
through branches or by sending collec-
tons to stations, schools or community
centers. Several county libraries in the
South are using book trucks to carry
books directly to the public. This Is
really q library on wheels equipped with
shelves carrying from 500 to 800 books.
The truck has routes and stopping
points Just like bus, and the people
can come to the truck to select their

it has been enthusiastically received by
the people.
