Scholarship Costs
Money At Harvard
; APP Newsfeatures

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Harvard
University spends twice as much
ON ifs famous collections of schol-
arfysbooks, as It does on the library
needs for 5000 undergraduate stu
dsfits.
Cost of student library services,
says Keyes d. Metcalf, director of
the 80 University libraries, is $780,
000 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-
Iets-4,90O,O0O An endowment of
e30, ,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-
qu4te1y with 100 900 books and that
$4,000 volumes would provide,
with careful selection, the best
working library in the country.
At least 5000, 900 OF the Harvard
books are used as much by scholars
from all over the world as by stu
4edt3 and faculty OF the university
ft1elf. But Metcalf says the extra
3.OUosA06 books make the Harvard
collection great library.

iA{A|'I|lAZWEEk|[k =
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
MCs, notably Washington's able
Senator Cain (by radio) and Rep.
James Van Zandt of Pennsylvania
Tin person) former head of the Vet
Grams of Foreign Wars and an old
friend of Mack.
furtU0fInOT0, llle hepuUIlCdi
Congress had cut back the .Presi-
dents budget request for reclama-
ton 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
! en- it's blessing to Savage. Yes, and
so was the radical PAC crowd
which rushed in Wallace and the
glamorous Madam DOUGLAS.
Mr.. Mack won. and so did the re-
cord of the Republican CONGRESS- OF
which he will soon be part.
