Washington. Aug. 23.-(UP)- President Roosevelt informed Con- gress today that lend-lease ship ments to the Allies reached a total of S2s .270. 100000 on July and urged the program be continued after the defeat of Germany to in- sure a speedier victory over Japan
 In apparent reference to recent discussions on whether lend-iease could not be halted after the war in Europe ends, MT. Roosevelt warned in his 18th report to Con" gress:
 We should not permit any Eeak. ening of this system Of combined war supply to relay final victory a single day or to cost unnecessarily the life of one American boy.
 Lend-lease has helyped bring the prospect of complete victory "soon- er than We had hoped" the chlef executive said, pointing out that the s28 27O !000, 900 cost Of the program thus far represented but ID per cent of all U. s. war spending.

tainable either in publishing houses or
at bookstands. Perhaps some of them
are still available from dealers in rare
books.
Only this past week had occasion to
be in Cumberland. My friend, j. Will
liam Hunt, also of the Cumberland
Times, Informed me that Mr. Carl was
at his home for the remainder of the
day; that | could not have picked a
better time to see him, as he was in
his library working on one of his
doorbell. She invited me to go up
stairs where | found Mr.. Carl in bed
nursing a game leg. On finding him in
this predicament | was fully prepared
for dissertation on the fratilty of the
flesh, which is generally the subject
matter of the belfast. But after only
a slight reference to his bones, he
launched out into the ocean of books
that surrounded his comfortable for
tress.
After cleaning his personal reac-
tons to the intrinsic value of the
books discussed, | concluded that here
in this home was the material neces-
sary to write a history of our locality.
Now that nearly all the counties in
Maryland have active historical socic-
ties, such a collection as the Frank
Lee Carl's will be indispensable. In
fact the following days seven county
societies met in the Hotel Alexander
Hagerstown, Md, where an exhibi-
ton ftheir work and records was
displayed. / noted that the G.C.H.S.
was included. Senator George L. Rad
cliffe is the President Of the Maryland
Historical Society. Mr. Radcliffe was
scheduled to make an address.
Apart from the large collection,
numbering into the thousands, Mr.
Carl's library is unique in that he has
collected news articles, dealing with
the subject of particular book, and
placed the clippings within the book
His scrapbooks, numbering forty, are
filled with clippings from newspapers
and magazines, each item dealing with
people and events associated with the
history of this section.
Even hurried glance into the treas
ures Of this library is cause for admi-
ration. Mr.. CARTS love for this land
scape and people is unmistakable.
In spite of very busy life, he has
had time to render a service to our
own culture that is immeasurcablc.
He is extremely non-partisan, and
.hus every small item Of human in
tercst is interpreted and classified by
very objective mind. He inStinctivcly
appreciates the good and intuitively
.astens value of permanent interest
IN our history. His awarencss of liv-
ng history has made him keen stu
dent Of past history.
Our locality will always be CRATE
full to Frank Lee Carl, who has done
more than any other to collect and pre-
serve the written records of Western
Maryland.
The Maryland Historical Society
would do well to give him a signal
honor for his painstaking, detailed
and often expensive collection of data
Despite the humdrum of reporting the
daily round Of birth, and death, of
tragedy and triumph. this man of
common sense and common sympa-
thics could see behind the veil and in
-erpret its drama in terms of the
grand epoch.
This is truly the mark of the cul-
turcI man. He leaves for posterity not
merely the name of a book collector,
but gives it access to a culture that
can be used.

it be before they will tell us what to
