WASHINGTON CELEBRATION
 GREATEST N HISTORY
 IN HONOR OF INDIVIDUAL

known in history-the most ambi- tious celebration ever undertaken in honor of an individual" When Senator Simeon D. Fess of Ohio. for mer educator and college president, with a reputation for speaking con servatively. uses such language as this, it is perhaps excusable if ordi- nary folks get bit excited.
 The language just quoted sums up the way Senator Fess envisions the celebration, or, more properly, the series of celebrations that are being planned under the auspices of the Federal Government to occur throughout the year 1882 in obsery- ance of the two-hundredth anniver- sary of the birth of George Wash ington.
 Senator Tess is the active head of the George Washington Bicentenni- al Commission, whose ex officio chairman is President Hoover. Sem ator Fess holds the official titles of vice chairman of the commission and chairman of the executive com mittee.
 Tt is right" said Senator Fess, discussing the matter day or two ago, that there should be such an observance of the two-hundredth an- niversary of the birth of George Washington. whose life meant so much to the people of the whole world. Our task is now to make the people of this nation understand what tremendous thing this Wash ington bicentennial is going to be. It will be something to remember and look back upon so long as any person shall live to remember it."
 The purpose behind everything the Federal and State commissions and the two national directors are doing, and propose to do, is to i'm press upon the minds of the people of this generation, and especially of the next generation-the children who soon will take charge of the worlds affairs-the real meaning of devotion to duty, courage in the face of disaster, unselfish statesmanship, constitutional government, and the broad, human viewpoint, as exem- plified by George Washington, who built not for himself nor his own generation even, but for the future.
 The character and achievements of George Washington are to be the keynote of the celebration every where.
 So staggering are the tentative plans which have been sketched in outline by members of the commits sion and the directors that they challenge ones credulity at the same time that they stir and appeal to the imagination. If only half of them are carried into effect, the sweeping statements made by Sena- tor Tess will be doubtless justified.
 It is difficult to talk with those who are in charge of the arrange ments for the bicentennial year without becoming imbued with the superlative brand of enthusiasm that is apparent in everything they say about it. It will be the purpose of these articles not to make predic- 
 possible what has been done, what is being done, and what is planned, for the most part permitting those di- rectly in touch with the arrange ments to speak for themselves con- corning the plans for this greatest celebration thus far known in his- tory.n

LIBRARY FUND CUT
IN new SCHEDULE
$456,47S Provided Will Include
$4,000 for Georgetown
Branch.

An estimate of $4,000 to acquire a
site for a new branch library in
Georgetown, $4,000 to buy books for
the new Northeast branch. and an
increase in the allowance for personal
services are the outstanding features
of the budget recommendations for the

fiscal year.
The total recommended by the Bud
get Bureau for all public library pur-
poses is $456,478, as compared with
$534,34o for the current fiscal year.
The principal reason for the reduction
in the total is that the current law
contained $150,000 for the erection of
the new Northeastern branch library,
with no comparable item in this year s
budget.
The recommendation of $4,000 for a
site in Georgetown partly offsets the
much larger sum appropriated last year
for construction work.

ommends $298,180, as compared with
$276,040 in the current law. This in
crease covers II new positions and
makes allowance for some salary in
creases. OF the new positions recon-
mended IA are to make possible part
time operation of the proposed new
Northeastern branch, for the erection
Of which Congress allowed $3.50 900 this
year. The site for the Northeastern
branch has been acquired at Seventh
street and Maryland avenue northeast
and plans for the building are in process
of preparation. The other three new
positions are assigned one each to the
central library, the Mount Pleasant
branch and the Chevy Chase branch.
For the employment Of substitutes
and other temporary and special sery-
ices the budget recommends $4,000, the
same as current law.
For extra services on Sundays, holi-
days and Saturday half days $4,000 Is
allowed, the same as in current appro-
priationS.
The miscellaneous fund for books
periodicals, newspapers and other nate
rial is increased in the new butget from
$54, 500 to $4,000. The item or bind
ing, including necessary persol al serv-
ices, remains at 1000, the san e as the
current appropriation.
There is a slight reduction from $685.
900 to $24,500 in the item for mainte-
nance, alterations, fuel, light, care o.
grounds and other contingent expenses
The budget also recommends $4,000
| the same as current law, for rent o.
quarters for the Chevy Chase and Wood
ridge branch libraries.
