NEW ENCYCLOPEDIA ~ 10 :
AT DARE LIBRARY
By GEORGIA E. HARDWOOD

by GEOkGlA Il. HARWOODS
Our new Collier Encyclopedia in
20 volumes has, arrived, so now!
we have the WORLD Book, the Co
lumbia-1-volume which is pretty
thorough at that, and an old set,
the Standard which is not really
approved in the higher tcireles but
has a most disconcerting tfashion
of coming up with desired infor-
nation when the others fall down.
In old WPA days in the Library
that fact used to be; most Irritating
to WPA supervisors. When the
then-Librarian used to come up
timidly with, 'It says here that
:" the frost in the atmosphere
was unmistakable.
We have quite a few new titles
by Grace Livingston Hill, Emily
Loring and Zane Grey-at least
new to us. We got them for the
Bookmobile but you will find them
here too, particularly the ones we
have never had.
Other new books are: PORTRAIT
of a Turkish Family" Orga;
"a erican Stamp Collectors
Dictionary; Memoirs of King Abb
dullah," the one who was assassin
ated couple of weeks ago, he was
quite a person; Chambers "Dic-
tionary of Scientists" just pub
lished, which should fill need in
the High School at least, to judge
by previous years; "The Cruel
Sea-" Monsarret, which the men
should like very much.
Some others are: "Grand Port
age" O'Meara; John c. Calhoun"
a Pulitzer Prize Award book by
Margaret L. Colt; "The Viking
Book of Poetry" Abingdon, editor;
"Wind of Time" poems by Rolfe
HUMPHREYS; and "Home Book of
Trees and Shrubs" by Levinson.
There are also some new west
ems for those who like bosses
and guns. In face we have a good
supply of everything but space in
which to put the books.

De Casper Expected
To Head New REGIME
BY the Assoeiafed Press

ROME, July 17.-President
Luigi Einaudi began political talks
today to try to broaden Italy's
Ianti-C Communist government. Pre-
mier Alcide de Gasperi, who quit
with his cabinet last night to
make the maneuver possible, prob
ably will be named to head a
reshuff1ed regime.
The designations were decided
during a cabinet meeting yester-
day.
According to Italy's constitu-
tional protocol, the President
planned talks with Mr.. de Gas
peri and other former Premiers,
speakers of the Senate and Cham
ber of Deputies and parliamentary
leaders.
1t was the first time in Italy's
parliamentary history that a cab
met resigned without a vote of
Inon-contidence by Parliament.
Press comments forecast a long
crisis. even though Mr.. de Cas-
peri is almost certain to be called
to form the new government. His
Christian Democrat Party has a
majority in the Chamber of Dep
uties and is much the largest
group in the Senate.
Mr.. Einaudi has asked Mr.. de
Gasperi to remain In Office during
the crisis.

nation.
The Athens radio later an
nounced attempts at infraction
Of public order had been isolated

The news, received with mixed
emotions by the public, was con-
sidered the most important mill

as you said, your state of health
does not allow you for the time
being to continue to exercise your
duties"
Informed circles said Marshal
Papagos has appeared in excellent
health of late and expressed be-
lief his resignation Is the result
Of differences with the King
