Hawaiian Strike
 Makes "POi" Good Eating
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One) each week. The yard man who worked over the lawn twice a month has to go, too.
 But many people hardly feel the pinch from the long tie-up. There is a big segment of federal civilian service employees and workers paid by mainland firms. And, of course, the army, navy and air force people. Their pay keeps coming in.
 Food relief cargoes provide the staples - meat, potatoes, milk, eggs, butter - and nearly any trimming you can think of. If you are lucky enough no. to have had a couple of pay cuts or lost your joo, you can eat and live in good style.
 Just the same, the people are settling down for a long, hard pull. The striking CIO stevedores and the seven struck steVedoring farms are as far apart now as they were on May l when it all started. The lOngshoremen want 32 cents an hour more than the S1.4O they were getting. The employers with drew an offer of l2 cents.
 Only developments now are go- ing on in court. A Honolulu group is trying to unload S75O,O00 in goods from a strikebOund freight CT. Federal court has ordered three previous unlOadings, but this time l75 consignees are in- volved. There may be a decision soon.
 In the meantime, Gov. Ingram Stainback is getting ready to call the legislature into session. Dras- tic measures are being prepared 10 authorize the government 10 seize the docks if necessary. Whe- ther that will end the bitter strike is something else.
 As for the people here ..
 The paper salesman said l5 per cent pay cut gave him taste for poi. "Poi's cheaper than pO- tatoes and more vitamins," he said.
 Poi is a native Hawaiian dish. I1S made from tarO root flour and is supposed to be more nutritious than anything. But the first taste is like library paste.

Dr.. Putnam Starts 57st Year
With Library of Congress

Honored at Lunch
By Associates
By Cospor Nonnes

Grow old along with me.
The best is yet to be.

Browning's lines succinctly ex-
press DR.. Herbert Putnam's attl-
tude after so years with the Lii
brary of Congress.
The 87-year-old librarian emeri-
tus Of the Library of Congress. its
head from April 5, 1899, to Oc-
tober /, 1889, still thinks Of the
institution in terms of the future
rather than the past.
This was the attitude he held
today at luncheon given in his
honor in the Library of Congress.
DR.. Luther H. Evans, librarian of
Congress, and many connected
with the institution when DR..
Putnam was its active head, were
present.
Il am not detached from the
Library of Congress-" DR.. Putnam
recently said in an interview. He
explained the post of librarian
emeritus. created by Congress in
1888 for him, provided duties con-
cerned with enlarging 1.-The re-
sources of the Library of Congress
and to promote gifts and requests
to it."
He goes to his Office in the Lii
brary every day, except for the
summer months, to further these
duties. He has been singularly sue
cessful in their performance. Lii
brary officials said.
At the Cosmos Club, the libra
rian emeritus satisfies his desire
to be with men who are doing
things.
THAT keeps me alive and takes
the place of reading" he ex-
planned. Il do not collect books
and I do not write articles on

search. I am not a profuse read

tales. Westerns and detective
stories, and stirring romances
with a happy ending"
A seat at table No. is kept for
DR.. Putnam every day at the club
until 1915 pm. There is good
reason if he fails to claim it on
time-he is playing pool elsewhere
in the club.
