City Heads Urged to Demand
Cleveland Park Library Funds

A renewed effort was to be
made today for completion of
the Cleveland Park Branch Lii
brary.
The Commissioners were to be
urged to insist upon a budget ap-
preparation by Congress which
will permit the city to add three
community rooms to the new
building at Connecticut avenue
and Macomb street NV.
This addition was contem-
plated originally. It was in
cluded in plans for the COM
bined library and community
center. Because of material
shortages two years ago, only
the library section of the build
ing was completed. This will
be dedicated in October.
Miller Is Spokesman.
Joseph L. Miller was to go be-
fore the Commissioners at the
budget hearing today to adVo-
cate completion of the project.
He represents the Connecticut
Avenue Citizens Association, the
Uptown Connecticut Avenue
Businessmen's Association, the
Uptown Lions Club and the
Cleveland Park Community Lii
brary Committee.
Mr.. Miller said he would ask
the full request for city library
funds be granted. He added
that his groups were interested,
specifically, in a 100000 request
for the Cleveland Park branch
project. Actually, $4,000 of this
amount is already available. so
that an additional appropriation
of $55,000 is needed from Con-
greSS.
Mr.. Miller explains in his
statement to the Commissioners
that material shortages two years
ago caused the National Pro-
duction Authority to rule against
construction of the community

adds:
"A contribution OF $4,000 was

with the understanding that it
would help to provide. a living
memorial to the men and wom-
en- OF the area who served in
uniform in World War II. The
contribution was accepted by the
Commissioners with the under
standing that the new branch
library would contain the COM
munity rooms for which we had
worked.
Cites Scrap Drive.
"a further evidence Of solid
community enthusiasm for the
project was shown q year ago,
when the businessmen, Lions
Club, the citizens association,
school children and just plain
individuals co-operated in a
scrap drive The 8E2 tons Of
metal gathered was more than
the amount Of structural steel
needed for the building of the
community rooms which we now
seek
THE money realized from the
sale of the scrap was added to
the special library fund of the
citizens association, which now
totals $3,440,55. This fund will
be turned over to the Board Of
Trustees of the District Public
Library when the building is
completed"
Sponsors of the community
center insist there is a moral
obligation to complete the struc-
ture. The plans call for adj
dition of one large room to seat
1876 persons, and two smaller
rooms.

To my way of thinking, Luckies taste much
better.
I know it's matter of taste, like the kind
of football man happens to prefer. The foot
ball like is the football of keen strategy, the
varied offense, the attack which can strike
quickly, deity, without warning, at any point
in the defense That kind of offense, manned
by well-trained, perfectly conditioned players,
makes our game of American football one of
the most thrilling sports there is for the spec
tator who watches, as well as for the men who
do the actual playing.

At least, that's my brand of football. Like
Luckies are my brand of cigarettes.

We hope that like Lou Little you're Lucky smoker If

There are two reasons. First, LIS. S.IMF.T.-Lucky

tobacco that receives expert inspection and atten-

Second Luckies made better-a fact you can rec

its accurate description of the
early November storm which

| ReyaIuation Gold
'Rescues' u. 5. From
Brink OF Debt Limit
BY the Associated Press

To avoid breaking through the
debt ceiling set by Congress, the
Treasury has bought back half
a-billion dollars worth of the
Federal debt with gold left over
from the time the late President
Roosevelt revalued the dollar.
This was announced late yes
terday after the Treasury's new
$2,238, 100000 bond issue was
added to the Federal debt. A
spokesman said the new bond
marketed last week, brought the
debt to within pennies of the
$275-billion ceiling Congress re-
fused to raise last summer.
To make room for day-to-day
Treasury operations, Secretary
Humphrey decided to buy back
$500 million worth of securities
held by the Federal Reserve
System.
This was done with "free gold
not needed to back the national
currency after Mr.. Roosevelt in
1884 increased the price of golo
from $20.67 an ounce to $35 ar
ounce. That liberated some
