18th Street Extension
Hinges on Survey
To Be Made Soon
Maryland and U. S.
Boards to Cary On
Joint Studies

A joint survey by the MARYLAND
State Roads Commission and the
United States Bureau of Public
Roads will be made soon to deter
mine the feasibility of extending
Sixteenth street to Georgia avenue,
it was learned today.
The survey was decided upon
yesterday at conference between
c. E. Swain. district engineer of the
Federal roads body. and the Mary
land commission. He will confer
with the State group during the
studies, which will be completed
within the next 80 days.
Silver Spring civic groups and the
District Of Columbia Motor Club of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton have urged the extension of
Sixteenth street from its present
terminus north to Georgia avenue.
Another route, the extension of
Eastern avenue. has been proposed
and will be considered in the survey
Both routes. however, necessitate
the construction of an overpass
across the Baltimore Il Ohio Rail-
road tracks.
Washington I. Cleveland, manager
OF the A. A. A.. in advocating the
Sixteenth street extension said II
would be the most direct route and
as one Of the principal streets OF
the Capital, should be continued in
straight northerly direction "in-
stead of ending in a mud bank. as
at present"
Civic groups are pressing for &C
ton to acquire the right o. way
at this time because of plans of a
Silver Spring builder to erect houses
on a tract in the path of the pro-
posed highway unless assured soon
that Sixteenth street will be ex-
tended.

MacLeish HEARING
Held Disappointing
By Librarian
Says Only Four Of
Senute Committee
Attended Hour Session

The closed hearing conducted by
the Senate Library Committee for
the benefit of opponents of the ap-
pointment of Archibald MacLeish as
librarian of Congress was very dis
appointing" to Harold F. Brigham
official representative of the Amer
lean Library Association.
The Senate committee yesterday
afternoon approved the appointment
| without dissenting vote, and rec
commended that the Senate confirm
the Presidents nominee for the post.
Our arguments did not seem to
make an impression" Mr.. Brigham
said yesterday in press conference.
Mr.. Brigham, who is member of
the association Executive Board and
librarian of the Louisville (Ky) Free
Public Library, and Harry M. Ly-
denberg, director of the New York
Public Library and former president
of the association, met with the Sem
ate committee yesterday morning.
Says Only Four Attended.
"Only four of the ten members OF
the committee attended the hearing,
which lasted less than an hour" Mr..
| Brigham said.
Instead of the hearing being con-
Quoted to present arguments against
confirmation Mr.. Brigham said, Il
felt the hearing was devoted more
in favor of confirmation"
The American Library Association
held that the appointment of Mr..
MacLeish was without justifica-
ton" because he has had no actual
library administrative experience.
The association pointed out that
the agitation against confirmation
of Mr.. MacLeish was not directed
against him personally, but was
undertaken solely in the best in
terests of our National Library, and
OF library service generally"
The association Executive Board
currently meeting in San Francisco,
formally approved a statement OPP
posing the appointment yesterday.
Called an Overt Act"
"The appointment of a nom
librarian to this particular posi-
ton" Mr.. Brigham said, can
be considered in no other light than
as an overt, unfriendly and prejudi-
cial act by an entire profession of
some 10000 Librarians of the coun-
try, not to mention the many ad-
ditional thousands of library trus-
tees, educators and friends of IL
braries, who have done so much
in the past generation to establish
the present-day high standards of
library personnel and service"
Mr.. Brigham said the appoint
ment would encourage "a reversion
to the old sentimental and politi-
cal appointments to library posi-
tons, and a denial of the things
that have made the very founda-
tons of modern library progress Is
Charles B. Shaw, librarian at
Swarthmore College; ]. Periam
Danton, librarian at Temple Uni
versity. and Emily Miller Danton
all members of the association, came
to Washington, Mr.. Brigham said,
but were unable to attend the hear
ing because they were not accred-
tied as delegates.
Our principal disappointment"
Mr.. Brigham asserted, was that the
hearing could not be public"
