Rockefeller Gift Expires.
Under the Library of Congress ap-
preparation is included new item OF
S24 900 to continue the maintenance
and development of Union Catalogues
which work has been carried on for
five years at an expenditure of $4,000
a year from lump sum gift Of John
D. Rockefeller, jr., which expires next
August.
The personnel now engaged in the
enterprise totals 25 and the appropria-
tion allowed will provide for retaining
less than half that number. The llbrari-
an of Congress most earnestly urges
a further development of the project
not only in the interest of the Library
of Congress- but for the very great ad-
vantage of the serious investigators
throughout the country.

increase for the Government Printing
Office to clear up the deficit of that es-
tablishment the committee report says:

session. The public printer estimates
that 100000 additional will be neces-

work of the present session. In con-
nection with this increased amount. it
should be remembered that the Sat

that factor alone, in congressional
printing, accounts for approximately
