NEW SCHOLARSHIP
Committee Proposes Course
Limited to Students From
Latin America.

ny the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va, May 15-The
Committee on Library Cooperation
with Latin America proposed here
today that an additional American
Library Association annual scholar
ship, limited to Latin American stu
dents, be created. The associations
counsel took the suggestion under ad-
Visement.
1t was presented to the body, in
convention here, by Mary Helen
McCrea, librarian of the Lewis and |
Clark High School, Spokane, Wash.
The morning session also elected |
Elihu Root to the Library Association
Council. The former Secretary Of |
War and State under the Mckinley |
and Theodore Roosevelt administra-
tions has been trustee of the New |
York Public Library for 20 years.
Last night the delegates heard DR.. |
Frank P. Graham, president Of the
University of North Carolina, advo-
cate the taxing of wealth to provide
free library facilities. He said As
100000 Americans now lack such IA
cilities.
Urges Equalization Fund.
DR.. Graham urged the creation of
an equalization fund to extend public
libraries into areas where iliteracy
Is high. There is, he said, an "un-
equal opportunity for children today,
considering the great libraries in CEN
ters of population and the absence
Of libraries in rural areas"
Other high lights of the A. L. AS
1ourth-day session were an explana-
ton of the British interlending library
system, whereby every Briton can Sc
cure desired books, and plea by R.
D. w. Connor. Washington, national
archivist, that librarians stimulate the
interest of Americans in the priceless
documents housed in the National
Capital.
Ideas let loose by old manuscripts
broke down the feudal system and led
to new discoveries" DR.. Graham said.
THE modern library Is the treasure
house of old books and the creative
center for the writing of new books,
out of which have come modern
science, industrialization and democ-
racy"
Countrywide, Statewide and Ma
tion-wide library organizations must
be established, DR.. Graham declared,
eff farmers and workers are to have
the facts with which to check the
generalizations made by demagogues.
With free school, free church,
free press and free library, you cannot
have a dictatorship"
In discussing the rural South in par
ticular, DR.. Graham said a race is
now in progress between the boil
weevil and the public library, between
farm tenantry and social regenera-
ton"
With the National Central Library
in London serving as corner stone,
the whole resources of Great Britain
are placed at the disposal of readers
through interlending of books, Lionel
r. McColvin. London. honorary secre-
tary of the British Library Association,
said.
England has established the princi-
pie, McColvin said. that the individ-
ual reader, no matter where he lives
or what he wants, has right to draw
upon the whole resources of the ma
ton. = . We have devised the ma
chinery by which to serve him, and
this achievement opens up an entirely
new horizon to the more serious
reader"

Sullivan Boosts
Batting Mark

Billy Sullivan Of the Indians, is
invited to step up front and take
bow.
Young Sullivan got two more
hits to boost his batting average
to .410 and caught his customary
fine game but in a losing cause
for the AS beat them, S to 2.
Harry Kelley, Connie Mack's aged
rookie, had everybody pretty wei
under control, except Sullivan,
giving only five hits all told.
The Yanks used up five
pitchers, IA hits and ten innings
to beat the Tigers, 10 to 9. They
needed three runs to win in the
tenth and made them when Red
Rolfe, who had previously made
two doubles and a triple, sewed it
up with another double.
Rick Ferrell's base cleaning
double and a homer gave the Red
Sox a IS decision over the
Browns.
The Phns swamped the Cards,
IL and 4, and in night game at
Cincinnati, the Dodgers lost their
eighth consecutive game, 4 to 3.

house that Manero was soaring

Cooper Knew Answer
Cooper's head Sagged. He knew
the answer. Didn't he have the
Open in his pocket nine years pre-
vious at Oakmont until Tommy
Armour raced down the lane to
tie him by virtue of cracking
No. 4 iron dead to the eighteenth
pin? Armour defeated Cooper In
the playoff the next day.
This time it appeared he was
home, only to have fate again
snatch the championship twigS
from him.

Lucky to Get in Open
Give an ear to Tony Manero's
achievement. 1t is history now
Manero captured the open
title by Surging down the stretch
with a Subpar 81 to rip the heart
out of ill-fated Harry Cooper at
the finish. Yet, Manero was
lucky to be in the Open at all.
He was forced to shoot a SO on
the last nine of the 36-hole Sec
tional qualifying trials at Green's
boro, N. c., to tie for one Of the
last three places, getting a birdie
on the last hole. Furthermore,
Manero had to shoot par on the
first four holes of the playoff to
gain one Of the places-that'S how
he got to Baltusrol.
Nor was he paired with Gene
Sarazen by the luck of the draw
for that final round. Sarazen,
sensing Manero was due to come
through, asked that he be paired
with Tony, saying:
"This Is an Italian year-and
we Italians must stick together"
Pity poor Harry Cooper. They
thought he was the winner, pho

autograph hunters besieging him
while spectators sought his hand.

On the contrary. the report declares

and impartial analysis of the work
being prosecuted will reveal that prac-
tically every project represents a USE
full, and in most cases, a permanent
improvement. Secondly, there remains
multitude of additional things to be
done under future work programs.
In this connection, the report de-
clared: 1T is apparent that the city

principle in giving relief assistance.
The dole, based upon idleness and

Regarding criticisms of the w. P. A.

said: "Of course, the cities are not en-
tirely satisfied with the present w. P.
A. program. The criticism most fire.
quently voiced is that not enough
people have been put to work In
other words. the plea is made that
quotas for every city should be in
creased, so that every employable per-
son is given job instead Of the dole.
This is problem which only Con-
gresS can answer, since the number of
persons to be employed depends upon
the amount Of money made available
by the Federal Government. Such a
criticism is no indictment of the prin-
ciples behind the work program. Sec
ondly, there is some feeling on the
part of cities that more authority
should be vested In the local govern

What Is The Constitution?
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Addressing the Harvard Tercentenary Confer ence Professor Edward S. Corwin had some interesting things to say about the constitution It may be regarded as the instrument of government he said or as the symbol of valued rights. In the aspect it confers broad powers to order the nations affairs In the other it provides specific protection against government.
 Professor Corwin fears that the constitution has been narrowed the instrument of our national ex- lstence, as the avenue along which make national progress, and has been made too much a fetish of popular worship. He marshals much evidence in his presentation to prove his point citing the ways in which he says the constitution has used to pre- vent the exercise of necessary national power
 These considerations should have the serious at tention Of thinking citizens everywhere for they point to great dilemma which the nation faces of chaos national unity is an imperative need We must be prepared to muster the full strength of the nation, not merely to wage if necessary but to maintain policies which will keep us out of war We must have national unity for many other purposes to insure the orderly equitable functonng of national economic mechanism which has become highly complex and interdependent in all it's parts Ii we would insure the unity of purpose which great nation requires in the modern world we shall have to approach national problems terms of national power
 Professor Corwin does not propose meddling with the constitution He advocates no amendment On the contrary he believes that the constitution as it stands today is ample enough to make possible the exercise of effective national leadership in national affairs But this be achieved he points out only by regarding the constitution as the instrument of our national existence not simply as the symbol of body of rights against the authority of government
