Scholarship Costs
Money At Harvard
I AP Newsfeatures

Z CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Harvard
University spends twice as much
ON its famous collections of schol-
arfy books as It does on the. library
needs for 5000 undergraduate stu
dents.
Cost of student library services,
says Keyes d. Metcalf, director of
the 80 University libraries, is $780,
900 q year. The rest of the $780,
600 library costs includes $545, 900
for a working library for graduate
students, faculty members and re-
search scholars plus $419,500 for
collections of old and unsual books
which the university keeps as
trustee for the learned world"
Harvard ranks second only to the
Library of Congress in the size OF
its collection of books and pamph-
let's 100000. An endowment of
e3e. .8O0, 900 is set aside with income
at four percent year to maintain
the libraries.
Metcalf estimates that the under
graduate needs could be met ade-
qu&te1y with 100, 900 books and that
$4,000 volumes would provide,
with careful selection, the best
wor1ing library in the country.
At least S,000,OO OF the Harvard
books are used as much by scholars
from all over the world as by stu
4ent3 and faculty OF the university
e1olf. But Metca1f says the extra
a.OooA00 books make the Harvard

BY George A. Benson

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The emer-
gence of COPS Russell Mack as
victor over Charles Savage, for
mer Democrat Congressman, in the
election in Washington State un-
doubtedly awards Republicans one
of the sweetest prizes of an Off
years politics.
Both parties worked for this cleo
ton. If there were any breaks, the
Democrats seemed to get them, for
Mack's is a labor district and the
Republican Congress was being
harangued by some labor leader
who opposed the labor bill.
Henry Wallace and Rep. Helen
Gahagan Douglas, the actress
Congresswoman, supposedly having
great influence with labor, Stumped
the district. But so did Republican

Senator Cain (by radio) and Rep.

Congress had cut back the .Presi-
dents budget request for reclama-
tion of land. Mr.. Truman's vast
publicity machine had attempted to
pillory the Republican Congress on
this point without once stating that
Congress had reduced apprOpria-
tions only to the same level as last
year.
The point is that the rank and file
of organized labor seemed to under
stand that the labor bill was in
their favor, and the people wanting
reclamation and power programs
| carried on seemed to understand
that there was a point of reasonable
arnrorriation.
/ So, Mr.. Truman definitely was re-
rudiated in the election and so was
the Democrat partv which had Civ

so was the radical PAC crowd
which rushed in Wallace and the
elamorOus Madam DOUGLAS.
Mr.. Mack won. and so did the re-
cord of the Republican CONGRESS- OF

at their 18th Jubilee anniver-

there is no alternative for pre-

In making his 18th annual ad-

ening by the American people
from their lethargy concerning
their present economical chaos.
The church was especially de-
corated for the service with cut

rendered. Mrs. W. T. DeVane,

A past president of Civitan In

master plan approved by the

terdav morning, was given the
t,]l time available for his talk
nv the Civilians, who dispensed
with their regular order of bust

The planning consultant went

NJ his plan, which took two years
for preparation at the cost to the
city of $4,000.
He pointed out that here is a
development of d definite land
use pattern in the city of Will

citv's street system to the growth
of a tree, pointing out the main
streets are represented by the
trunk and main branches, while
the lesser streets compare with
the smaller branches and twigs.

Chapter 81

AAoRb(A
THE day of Norway's funeral
was melancholy with that low
hanging grayness that hints of
rain and is more typical of early
Northwest winter than May. AL
though word of his death had
spread through the skid roads and
logging gangs of every lumber
outfit, and he was mourned in
every camp where he had worked
and some where he had not. no
one had come forward to claim
him.
He was buried at the top of the
high clearing, looking eastward
toward the Cascades and the
ever-changing waters of the Inlet.
The towering peaks of the Olym-
pics and a stand of magnificent
Douglas frs were at his head.
AS old Sven LarSon's strong
voice lntoned the burial service a
breeze came up fiuttering the
pages of the prayer book. There
was rift in the grayness above
and a few pale lanceS of sunlight
speared the fresh mound.
Doug swallowed the lump in
his throat and looked around him.
Elsa's cheeks were unashamed-
ly wet. Ollie Pedersen's frail
shoulders shook uncontrollably
until another logger put an arm
across them. Lily, who perhaps
had lost more than any of them,
stared at the ground with dark
enlgmatic Indian eyes that seemed
to find consolation in the mystical
beliefs of her ancestors. Hardin'S
expression was sober and bitter.
Doug knew the boss logger was
thinking that he had lost not only
a fine conscientious worker but
tolerant good-natured character
whose very presence was an in
huence for harmony and incen-
tive in the outfit. He was think
ing too that hanging was too good
for his murderer.
When the service was over and
the crowd dispersed, drifting
away down the tree-canopied
trails that led Ito Queets or back
to camp. Elsa waited, hanging
back until Doug and Hardin
were still moist as she looked up
at them.
Boys. know this hardly seems
