DR.. Clarence w. Crawford,

ancient Bible for spiritual
guidance. even though the last
generations physics books and
medical techniques are already
outmoded," DR.. Crawford told
monday worshippers in the
Lutheran Church of the Refor-
nation.

do not change, love and hate are
the same and especially the need

DR.. Crawford said he reads the
Bible for three reasons-"becauSe
1t is great literature. because it
grew out of real experience and
because it brings us face to face
with God in Jesus Christ"
The Bible must be taken en-
tire, he said. for without Jesus

of Chicago, president of the
American Institute of Certified
Public Accountants. He said:
~ believe the problem be-
tween the accountants and the

gerated. To large extent, our
work has been misunderstood.
We accountants have a code of

H. Auden and former Librarian
Archibald MacLeish.
It is not always fair weather
for the Library when the Fellows
get together to make recon-
mendations about poetical mat
tiers. In 1949, they brought con-
gressional wrath on their heads
when they bestowed the Bollin-
gen Prize for Poetry on Ezra
Pound, a friend of Fascisn and
a patient at st. Elizabeths Hos
pital. When the dust had settled.
it was decided that the Govern
ment would be involved in no
more Bollingen Awards.
Controversial Choice.
The fellows choice Of DR..
Williams also proved to be con-
troversial. The nominee, who in
the course of a busy lifetime
had delivered over 1000 babies
and written some 20 books, was
delighted to accept. DR.. Luther
H. Evans. the then Librarian of
Congress, signified his approval.
But announcement of the ap-
pointment was the signal for a
series of attacks on DR.. Williams
political activities. The editor of
poetry magazine called Lyric, :"
said the selection was IAN insult
to American poetry and Ameri-
can citizenship" A syndicated
columnist cited DR.. Williams as
the kind Of person DR.. Evans
was won't to recruit for library
service. Counter-Attack pub
lished a list of causes, allegedly
subversive, to which DR.. Williams
had lent his name.
DR.. Williams, who calls himself
a liberal, and a mon political
man." admits to having been an
unwary signer of various pleas
and resolutions. that turned out
to be Communist sponsored. But
he was certainly. he says, no:
a Communist. and not even a
Communist sympathizer.
"Just Signed Letters"
II just signed letters, which
wasn't able to sift," DR.. Will
liams explains. Unfortunately
the Communists have used lib
eral citizens in all categories of
the country. in religion and pol
itics. I don't think much of the
way the Communist Party takes
advantage Of an unguarded
citizenry."
| Nothing was further from his
mind in the fall of 1852, when
DR., Williams happily prepared to
come to Washington. to take the
chair of poetry. He looked upon
the occasion as "the browning
| gesture of my life as literary
man." He wound up his personal
affairs in New Jersey and hired
a>house at 321 Second street Sc.

the meantime. and their whole
future status seems to be in :
doubt.
II don't believe they will 60
out like candle" Mr.. Brooks
says. But the fact they have
not met for two years does not
bode any particular friendliness
on the part of the Library. I
think we should be called in to
find out just how DR.. Williams
case stands" +.
The donor Of the fund out Of
which the Library's poet in resi-
dence is paid, Archer M. Hunt
ington, a retired New York
banker, has been quite oblivious
to the whole situation. When
The Star sought his views yes
terday he did not seem to be too
aware of the fact that his en-
dowment was being used to
finance any chair of poetry in
Washington. He took the news
that the chair was vacant very
calmly.
DIR. Williams Still Hoping.
There is nothing disagreeable
to me in that thought" he said.a
Il assume the money is being
used for some other purpose" I
AS for DR.. Williams. he is STILL
waiting, still hoping. He req
mains convinced that he nevera
got the post he coveted because.
he was alleged to be Red
sympathizer," although he adds:
Il have never had the courtesy
of an explanation"
He would still like to come to :,
Washington as consultant in
poetry and English to the Lib
rary of Congress. Failing that.
he would like to have his record
cleared.
But he concludes sadly. the
atmosphere in Washington is not
favorable to the solution of such
a situation" -

His term was to begin In Septem-
Der. but because of illness he
postponed coming until Deem
Der Is.
But on December 4, 1852, his
wife received a letter from Chief
Assistant Librarian Werner Clapp
telling her that a preliminary
FBI report had occasioned the
Library to ask for "a further full
investigation" DR.. Williams, Mr..
Clapp said. would not be able to
take office until the allegations
had been investigated.
Several days later, DR.. Will
lian1s himself received a letter
from the director of personnel
at the Library of Congress. This
one told him that as soon as the
Loyalty Board of the Library
received the full FBI report, he
would have the right of an adj
ministrative hearing and the
right to appear and to be repre-
Sented by counsel.
DR.. Williams promptly engaged
as counsel, New York attorney
James F. Murray, Jr., who also
is a Democratic member of the
New Jersey House of Repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Murray informed
the Library that his client had
been ready to take up his duties
on December Is and that he did
not waive the right to either the
job or the salary.
Evans Calls It Off.
DR.. Evans reply on January 13
called the whole thing of.
After full consideration I
have determined that the condi-
ton no longer exists which at an
earlier date made your appoint
ment as consultant in poetry and
English appear to be desirable
and profitable to the Library.
This change, in situation results
not only from our view of the
present state of your health but
also from the new elements in
troduced into the relationship
between you and the Library in
letters addressed by your attor-
ney to various members of the
staff.
II accordingly hereby revoke
the offer Of appointment hereto
fore made to you and terminate
negotiations which have been in
progress looking toward your as
sumption of duties as consultant
in poetry and English"
Nothing To Do with Loyalty.
DR.. Evans. told Dr. williams
that his action had nothing to
do with allegations about your
loyalty which have been pub
llshed in various places and
which investigation which was
instituted by the Library and
which investigation will now be
cancelled"

Mr.. Clapp. who served as act
ing librarian for a period after
DR.. Evans left. takes exception
to this statement.
II think the Times use of the
word failure does a possible in
justice to DR.. Williams by i'm
plying that he was unable to
meet security requirements
by the time the security in
vestigation had been completed,
the appointment of a new Ii
brarian was impending, and I
felt the new librarian should not
be committed to an appointment
about which he might have other
views. The report therefore has
been marked 'non-action'
DR.. Evans, in Paris, was not
available for comment. But
Cleanth Brooks, who interceded
with DR.. Evans on DR.. Williams
behalf SO long ago. was inter-
viewed yesterday by telephone
in New Haven. Conn. He be-
lieves that DR.. Evans action in
the Williams case was not based
on allegations against the 10y
atty of the physician-poet.
II don't think any one ever
took seriously the Communist
charges" he said.
II think it was a question of
hurt feelings" he went on. st
went in thinking that these
charges were the basic issue. but
after two or three hours heated
talk I was convinced that DR..

write to him instead of contact

Edwin M. Otterbourg, former
chairman of the committee on
the unauthorized practice of
low for the American Bar Asso-
citation and president of the New
York County Lawyers Associa-
ton, spoke for the lawyers. He
declared:
I'm the 48 States and the Dis
trict, the legislatures have passed
laws which do not allow non
lawyers to practice law. There
fore 1t seems highly proper
that all persons appearing be-
fore administrative agencies be
subject to the legal authority Of
these agencies and know the
legal problems of the subjects
they are dealing with. If the
public needs legal advice. they
should get it from competent
legal men,"
F. Trowbridge Won Baur, chair
man Of the committee on adj
ministrative practitioners for
the AMA's Administrative Law
Section and general counsel for
the Navy Department, followed
the same line.
I'm the past so years." he said
"the creation of many new Gov
eminent agencies has led to a
maze of new administrative reg
ulations. This has inevitably
brought confusion as to the
proper fields in the area Of adj
ministrative practice. In my
opinion, non-lawyer can prac-
tice before these agencies so
long as there are no principles
of law concerned. The moment
the accountant or non-lawyer
trespasses into the legal field, he
is no longer qualified and should
not be allowed to appear before
any administrative bodies"

DR.. Evans accepted it and in
formed DR.. Williams that he had
set the wheels in motion for the
resumption of the loyalty inves-
tigation.
Appointed Second Time.
DR.. Williams then wrote Or.
Evans that he had no intention
OF suing any one in the Library
for what had happened.
Accordingly, on April "a, DR..
Evans again appointed DR.. Will
liiams as consultant in poetry
and English at the Library OF
Congress. The appointment was
to become effective on May Is,
"or as soon thereafter as loyalty
and security procedures are sue
ceSsfully completed" It was to
expire that September.
DR.. Williams, Is months later,
is still waiting to hear.
Curious reporters who called
the Library in the meantime to
inquire about the new poet were
told that he was sick" Even
tually silence closed over the
whole question. DR.. Williams
said he did not feel well enough
to press the matter and, besides,
he kept hoping that an amicable
agreement would be reached. DR..
Evans left the Library of Con-
gress to take the job of Director
General of UNESCO in the sum-
mer of 1853. A new librarian
was not installed until last
month. DR.. Williams original
appointment" had expired more
than a year before. The second
term, on which he would have
had an option. has also expired.
Times of London Comments.
The silence was broken the
other day by the Times of Lon
don which stated in a special
literary supplement devoted to
American literature, that "the

sitiOn (of Poet in Residence at

HE CDR. Williams) will not
permit the investigation by the
FBI to lapse and strongly resents
your inference that you are do
ing him q favor by suggesting
that such an investigation not

At this point in the proceed
ings. friends Of DR.. Williams be-
gan to rally around. David Nc
Dowell. his editor at Random
House, came to Washington to
mobilize political support for the
beleaguered poet. Mr.. Mcdowell
went to the FBI with an urgent
request that they investigate DR..
Williams "relentlessly." The FBI,
he reports. was "astonished" at
the plea. The agents said that
since DR.. Williams name was no
longer on Civil Service rolls, they
could not Investigate him fur
ther.
Fellows Protest.
The Fellows, at protest meet
ing in New York, deputized two
OF their number-Leonie Adams,
a former poet in residence, and
Cleanth Brooks, teacher at
Yale-to wait on DR.. Evans.
They had two or three hours of
heated talk" as Mr.. Brooks re-
members it, on February 8. BY
the time it was over, a compro-
mise had been worked out.
Or. Evans communicated the
terms in a letter to Miss Adams.
He would consider sympathet-
