utor. In 1912, when 63 volumes of
Oriental texts of Latin tranSlations
had been published, Catholic Uni
verSity and the University of LOU
vain agreed, at his suggestion, to
take charge of the series.
The late j. Pierpont Morgan COM
missioned Msgr. Hyvernat to acquire
the famous Hamouli collection of
Coptic manuscripts discovered in
1910. He was authorized to repair,
complete and photograph these doc
uments at the Vatican Library. The
work finally was published In IL
sets OF 81 volumes, one OF the sets
being in possession of Catholic Uni
versity.

ing spirit in the organization of the
Catholic University Museum, to
which he presented his own personal
collection. He donated his library

known for his important contribu-
ton to scientific periodicals before
he came to the university. was CO.

transportation Office
Created by President,
Ending Defense Board
Budd Expected to Head
Roll Division; Plans for
U. S. Operation Denied
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt today ordered
creation of an Office Of Transporta-
ton and thereby terminated the
work of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission exactly a year
after it first met.
Transportation was the only &C
tivity left in the commission as the
ast-growing Office for Emergency
Management swallowed up all OF its
other duties in new agencies, par
ticularly the Office for Production
Management.
The President, it was learned
from authoritative sources, has APP
proved the new agency as a plan
ming and co-ordinating body de-
signed to get maximum defense CO.
operation in the fields of railroad,
bus, truck. pipeline, ship, airline
and barge transportation.
Ralph Budd. president OF the Bur-
lington Railroad and transportation
member of the Defense Commission,
is expected to head the railroad d.
vision of the new agency, with some
one else having experience in other
transportation problems at the top
of the whole setup.
U. s. Operation Plans Denied.
These sources said fatty that the
President had no intention OF plac-
ing the railroads under Government
operation as they were during the
World War. officials here regard
the World War step failure, ana
said they believe that Government
directed cooperation OF the railroads
under their private management can
get better results.
The President took no formal step
to disestablish the Defense Com
mission. He merely caused 1t TO
cease to exist by taking away us
last function.
Mr.. Budd was one of six original
members who filed through crowd
of more than 100 newspapermen to
enter the White House Offices last
Memorial Day. In his steamlng not
study that day President Roosevelt
outlined the work to be done. The
seventh member, Sidney Hillman,
was i'll.
Since then they have had an i'm
portant hand in guiding $1,000 ,OOO,-
600 of cash expenditures and in
steering a long-term program now
aggregating approximately $4,000
100000.
The Defense Commission passed
out because it had only advisory
powers, and needed authority to act.
Dissolution Started in January.
Dissolution started in January,
when Production Member William
S. Knudsen. Labor Member Sidney
Hillman, and Materials Member Ed
ward R. Stettinius, jr., all went to
o. P. NJ Mr.. Knudsen is director,
Mr.. Hillman co-director, and Mr..
Stettinius director of priorities.
Next Price Member Leon Hem
derson and Consumer Member Har-
riet Elliott were transferred to the
newly-created Office of Price Adj
ministration and Civilian Supply.
Mr.. Henderson is administrator and
Miss Elliott deputy administrator.
With hardly a ripple, the agri-
culture section was then transferred
to the Agriculture Department.
Chester c. Davis, who was the agri-
culture member, had resigned to be-
come president of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of st. Louis.
