had not recommended" that they

Such Recommendations" are the
same as orders for all those who
take their cue from the State De-
partment in regard to their conduct
in matters which involve foreign
relations.
Explanation Availab
The State Department did not
like to 60 on record as continuing to
snub Spain, especially since the re-
ception was not to honor Generals
simo Franco. but the discoverer of
America. Therefore the explana-
ton available at the State Depart
ment is that none of the high Off
cials of the department could have
attended the reception for various
reasons.
Secretary Of State Marshall is In
Paris. Acting Secretary Of State
Lovett does not like such parties and
seldom is seen at them. The rest of
the diplomatic hierarchy was too
busy between 8 and 8 pm. with af-
fairs Of state and did not have even
10 minutes to pay their respects and
leave.
Only a minor ofhcial-the head
of the Spanish desk in the division
Of Western European affairs-was
allowed to honor the invitation Of
the Spanish charge d'affaires.

ADDITIONAL FUND
MAKES POSSIBLE
$4,000 LIBRARY
Z. Z. EnIOw Promises $4,000
To BE Added to Previous Do
nation If Library Is Built on
Corner

With an appropriation Of $4,000 in
Guided in the levy of the County Com
missioners which was completed last
evening, the way was paved for the
erection of a $4,000 public library
building in Oakland, it was announced
by F. E. Rathbun, county superin-
tendent Of schools.
Actually the project still hinges on
the acceptance Of proposal made to
q local property owner, whose proper
~ the Library Board now has under
option, and final approval of the con-
tlibutors.
These various angles to the posi-
hility Of having such library has
been the result of the promise of an
additional contribution of $4,000
from Ephraim E. Enlow, of Sebasto-
pol, California, for construction pur-
poses, providing the library is built
on the corner of Second and Center
street, Mr.. Rathbun explained. Mr..
Lnlow previously contributed $4,000
Tor constructions and D. Cal Grim, Of
Cincinnati, o., contributed $4,000 for
the purchase of the Warwick property
on Second street where the library
was originally intended to be placed.
Simultaneous with Mr.. Enlow's
promise of additional funds, Charles
ised $1,000 toward the purchase of
ised $1,000 toward the PURCHASE Of
tine corner lot.
Mr.. Rathbun said the corner prop
erty, which has an improved dwelling,
and is owned by James CAVITY, is be-
ing held for 100000 When the propo-
sition for its purchase was presented
to the County Commissioners they did
not feel that any such amount was
available, and this has resulted in the
counter proposal, Mr.. Rathbun con-
tlnued to explain. 1t has been sug-
gested that Mr.. Canty be given fifty
feet Of the north edge e ehe former
Warnick property, upon which he can
move MS house, which would leave lis
feet on the corner for the library,
with the purchase of the corner,
minus the house being consummated
a. a considerably lower figure.
Upon this premise the Commission
CTS agreed to provide $4,000 this year
and a similar amount next year if
necessary, to insure the construction
of such an asset to the community.
Both the Commissioners and Mr..
Rathbun were hopeful that satisfac-
tory arrangements could be made for
the transaction at an early date.
