wartime Intensifies
Demand for Books,
Says Macleish Report

The Congressional Library staff
last year answered queries ranging
from legal matters, such as the
French DEGREES of 1893 on the ap-
prehension of aliens, and the dis
solution of marriage under Nazi
codes in Germany, to scientific
brain-teasers, Librarian Archibald
MacLeish noted in his annual re-
port.
Despite decline of 8 per cent
in total circulation of books to
readers, there was sharp increase
IN other fields, attributed to the
war, notably in the Maps, Aero
nautics and Slavic Divisions. The
report says experiences of the past
year indicate the demand for books
Is more intense, more concentrated
and more directly related to gov
ernmental action in time of war
than in time of peace.
Basic Data Studies"
The legislative reference service
undertook one of the most ambi-
tlous assignments in it's history,
compiling a series of so-called basic
data studies" presenting basic in
formation and representative opin-
ions on complex questions which
included such topics as reciprocal
trade agreements, deficit financing
and the postwar treatment of Ger
many.
Nearly all photographers pre-
pared during the year dealt with
war subjects and included series
OF large photographers on selected
regions of the earth, compiled for
the War Department.
The library aided in the estab-
flishment of ! an Office Of War IN
formation Library in London, and
Its exchange of materials with Latin
American libraries increased. Mi

collections were supplied to six in
stitutionS in Mexico, Peru and Ar

were sent to seven Latin American

by 2,l93 different appointees.

Record Plane Losses
Over Europe in March
Show Size Of Attacks
BY the Associated Press.

by JNe Associated Press.
LONDON, April 1.-The Britain
based 9Th United States Air Force
lost 1913 heavy bombers in March
more than any other month in
the history of its operations in the
European theater-but its loss was
a measure of its strength rather
than weakness.
Operational losses of the United
States Strategic Air Force in Europe
have tendency to remain steady
in the economical neighborhood of
5 per cent, increasing or decreasing
in proportion to the size of the
months operations.
Thus the March losses-43 more
than the previous high of $50 in
February--reflect more bombers in
the air over the Reich, more bombs
dropped. rather than more expen-
sive missions.
Estimate 5000 Sorties.
On the basis of 5 per cent. loss
Of 293 planes would mean approx
mately 5000 sorties by American
heavy bombers were flown against
Europe last month accompanied by
about the same number of fighter
escorts-a laundering armada OF
900 warpianes.
In March a record number OF
% heavy bombers missions was
executed. A total of 1874 fighters was
lost, also record for month s
operations.
The most expensive day for the
Fortresses and Liberators was
March 6-date of the first heavy
daylight raid on Berlin-when So
bombers failed to return.
Other days on which heavy losses
were suffered was March 8, Berlin
SO; March 16, Friedrichshaffen, Ulm
and other targets, %; March 10,
Augsburg, Friedrichshafen and 9TH
er targets, 43; March %, Brunswick
Hamm, Muenster and other targets
81.
1880 Airmen Lost.
The losses during March repre-
sent an investment in planes of at
least $73,250,000 and a regiment of
1880 highly trained airmen.
Heavy bomber losses by months
since operations began in european
theater:

LONDON, July 20 R Turkey
teetered on the verge Of an open
break with Germany and Bulgaria
looked for a way out from the role
of a shaky satellite tonight as new
cracks opened in the Nazis' mill
tary and economic armor.
Reports reached Istanbul that the
Bulgarian government had asked
Germany to evacuate all German
armed forces from Bulgaria, point
ing out that there were now less
than two Nazi divisions in the coun-
try, that they are no help to Bull
garia and that they draw Allied
bombing attacks.
According to this report, Ger
many so far has refused the re-
quest on the ground that other
satellites might make the same
demand and because German pres
tige is involved.
Meanwhile the Bulgarians are
granting Soviet demands for con-
sulates in the country's leading
towns and ports.
Usually well-informed American
quarters in London said that Bull
garia again was putting out peace
feelers, but there was some skep-
ticism of the success OF such ven
lures in view of the breakdown of
previous efforts along this line.
