Unique Library

He was born to his life'S
work, coming of an old Phila-
delphia family which was en-
gagged in the book business. In
a period Of ten years alone he
spent $25, ,O0O,0 900 for the treas
ures he coveted. A man Of
education and culture, yet with
a shrewd knack for business,
he combined the interest and
profits of book buying and
selling with his passion for
collecting. Visitors to his
libraries are frequently aston

There is nothing in the world

'Pickwick Papers," all but a
single page which is in the
British Museum, and two or
three pages which are missing
altogether.
There, too, is the Gutenberg
Bible, for which DR.. Rosen-
bach paid 100000; the manu-
script of the libretto of Wag-

Vigorous Protests

Already, protests are begin

curtailment in those facilities
for air navigation for which
Congress has cheerfully made
appropriations year after year,
and which the air services Of

Commerce for Aeronautics, and
Paul Henderson, former Second
Assistant Postmaster General

for the air transport industry,
those of our military, naval
and mail pilots against this
inexplicable proposal to jeop-
ardize the safety of every
American who flies.

concisely when he said:

u. S. BOND REFUNDING
DECISION IS AWAITED
London Concerned Over Possibility
Of Conversion of $4,000, 100000
of Fourth Liberties.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 10,-The possibil-
ity OF the refunding of more than
$4,000, 100000 outstanding of the Fourth
Liberty Loan, as rumored in Wall street
today, has been discussed the past week
in the London financial district.
Stock Exchange brokers are watching
every move of the American political
and financial world for an indication
whether such conversion scheme will
be announced, because it would affect
security prices on the London market.
One of the leading firms of jobbers
on the London Stock Exchange appears
to have been the first to sense the situ-
alton. 1t issued to its clients the fol-
lowing comment:
''The possibility Of an American con.
version scheme must not be left out Of
account in weighing the trend Of In
vestment yields.
THE United States Government has
the power to redeem or convert $685.
113,450 OF the ~ per cent Liberty
Loans outstanding October Is.
"A conversion or redemption scheme
would, at one stroke of the pen, reduce
or remove the annual burden of $685.
100000 necessary for the payment Of
interest and afford a means whereby
the imitation of credit on major scale
could be affected.
without going into the details Of
the possible operations by which such
a scheme could be effected, it is obvious
that such a reduction Of gilt-edged se-
curitieS in the United States would
call for readjustment Of the invest
ment security prices there, which would
not be without effect ON the price Of
securities here.
Carried far enough, such q scheme
would thaw frozen credit positions and
raise prices to an extent which makes
its possibility less fantastic than at
first sight might appear"

SLUM CLEARANCE
CORPORATION SEEN
Ickes Says Huge Public
Works Organization May
Be Set Up.

A huge Federal sIum clearance cor
poration. similar to that just set up by
the Federal Relief Administration, prob
ably will be formed under the Public
Works Administration, Secretary Ickes
said today.
This corporation, the extent Of whose
operations is still being worked out,
would be designed to buy or acquire by
right Of eminent domain slum areas in
cities throughout the country. including
Washington. Upon these properties it
would build modern housing units which
could be either sold or leased by the
Federal corporation to tenants.
Large Sums May Be Spent.
While it has not been definitely de-
cided to form the corporation, Ickes in
dicated 1t probably would be formed.
and that large sums of public works
money would be spent in this manner
In view of the extensive plans which
have been under discussion for slum
clearance in the District of Columbia,
it is expected if the corporation is
formed one Of the first projects to be
undertaken would be in Washington.
The Housing Division Of the Public
Works Administration has for several
weeks been making a study and con-
ferring with prominent Washington
mans. including Frederic A. Delano,
chairman of the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission. on alley
clearance and slum elimination here.
Legal Papers Prepared.
Ickes has on his desk the articles
of incorporation for the Federal Slum
Clearance Corporation, which were
drawn up by the legal staff of the
Public Works Administration.
The Public Works administrator ex-
planned slum clearance is one of the
ideal means Of putting men back to
work. He emphasized the corpora
ton, il formed, could get to work i'm
mediately and put large sums to work,
providing employment and at the same
time lifting the living standards of
city dwellers whose present facilities
are far from sanitary or healthful.

NEW YORK, October lO.-John H.
McCooey, for % years Democratic lead
er of Brooklyn, was served with a de-
mand that he retire today by a ma
jority of his district leaders
A delegation of R Of the leaders
called on McCooey. staunch ally of
Tammany Hall, at county party head
quarters. Members of this delegation
told newspaper men before the meeting
they were determined that he step
down in favor of another man. No
name was suggested.
The action reflects the swing by the
Democratic district leaders of Brook
lyn to Joseph " Mckee, independent
Democratic and anti-Tammany candi-
date for mayor.
Two Others Out for Mckee.
There are % district leaders in
Brooklyn. In addition to the IL who
called on McCooey. others have
made public pronouncements for
Mckee.
McCooey. noted throughout State
political circles for the successful way
in which he has kept the Brooklyn
organization in hand through all pre-
vious attempts at revolt, has been an
important ally of Tammany Hall by
virtue of the fact that his county casts
the heaviest vote in the five counties
making up New York City.
The Bronx County Democratic or
ganization already has gone over to
Mckee. and there are signs of a SINH
lar movement in Queens.
O'Brien Notified.
The wave of desertions from Tam
many to Mckee continued apace as
Tammany opened up its campaign with
formal ceremonies at City Hall notify
ing Mayor John P. O'Brien that he Is
to head the ticket.
Three important Brooklyn politicians
left the O'Brien ranks and threw their
strength to Mckee

many camp:

postmaster of Brooklyn under Presi
dent Roosevelt's appointment.
Hyman Schorenstein, another dis
trict leader and commissioner of records
for Kings County.
Aaron l.. Jacoby, Democratic candi-
date for register of the county.
Mckee Answers Charges.
Meanwhile Mckee replied to charges
his candidacy was primarily for the
politicians by declaring he would not
pass out jobs in return for election
support. The criticism came from
Samuel Seabury, investigator of Tam
many Hall and leader Of the fusion
movement, of which Fiorello H. La
Guardia is the candidate for mayor
Mckee said that if elected he would
press for reorganization of the entire
system Of county government, abolish
ing such political plums as the posts of
sheriff, county clerk and register.
The Board of Elections acceded to
the Tammany plea that the name of
Milton Solomon of Brooklyn be placed
on the ticket to replace M. Maldwin

BREAK WITH SOVIET.
OVER PLOT CHARGE
limited BY JAPAN
Strong Measures Intimated
Unless Assurance of Good
Faith Is Forthcoming.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, October 10.-New differ
ences between Russia and Japan rose
today to clutter the path to continued
peace in the Far East.
Tentatively, said a Japanese foreign
office spokesman, Japan will content
herself with an investigation Of the
circulation at Moscow of documents
which allegedly described japanese
plot to seize the Chinese Eastern Rail
way.
Then, he added, stronger measures
may be necessary" unless guarantees Of
good faith" Immediately are forthcom-
ing from the U. S. S. r.
The new threat to peace. like others
before it. was born Of the protracted
wrangnng over negotiations for the sale
Of the c. E. r.
Charges Flare Frequently.
Japan entered the conversations OFF,
cially as a mediator in the projected
sale by Russia to Japan's puppet state,
Manchukuo.
But charges have hared frequently
in the Soviet capital that Toxic was
going further-was, In fact, as most
lately asserted, joining in plot to
seize the road.
The plan, as reported in Moscow,
was to arrest six Soviet officials Of
the road and thus accomplish the
ousting of Soviets from all authority
in the management.
The new Russian charges, aired In
Moscow through the Soviet news agency,
Tass: were labeled utter fabrications"
by the foreign Office spokesman.
Stronger Measures Intimated.
Further, he termed publication Of
the alleged official documents an evi-
dence of bad faith" on the part of
Russia
For this 1--WE must demand amends,
a retractiton and guarantees Of future
good faith" he said. Otherwise,
stronger measures may be necessary"
Two possibilities were seen by the
spokesman should Russia fail to make
amends for the "unfriendly act" of per-
mitting circulation of the documents. "
Either. he said frankly, negotiations
on the c. E. r. sale might be dropped
completely, or diplomatic relations with
Russia broken off.
Before deciding on his next move,
Foreign Minister Hirota will await a
report from Ambassador Ota at
Moscow.
