ROME. April 8 R.-Italy's
greatest library has been closed
because it has too many books.
Engineers have warned that
the weight Of the books might
cause collapse Of the massive
Roman College Building which
houses the vittorio Emanuele
National Library. Rome has no
other valuable building big
enough to house the centuries
long accumulation of volumes.
The Vittorio Emanuele Liz
brary, built at the end Of the
18th century a few hundred
yards from the Piazza Venezia,
is a huge pile of brick, two city
blocks square and the equiva-
lent Of six stories high. In
addition to the national library,
the old buildings creaking
floors hold two other libraries,
an ethnologic and prehistoric
museum. and q large high
school. A weather observatory
Is built on the roof.
1T is not exactly correct to
say that the building is about
to collapse" newspapers told
readers. but the building no
longer has the stability neces-
sary for public security"
When the National Library
was founded in 1871 it was
stocked with thousands of
books from the libraries of the
Society Of Jesus Jesuit order)
1t has grown until 1t is packed
with 2 million volumes. It is
increasing now at the rate Of
$4,000 volumes weighing
roughly $4,000 pounds year.
Unless laws are changed,
there is no way to check the
increase. One copy of every
publication printed in Italy Is
required to be placed in the
National Library.
The racks are piled to the
high ceilings of every room.
Some overflow into dark cor
ridors. and old magazines are
heaped in seldom-opened store
rooms.

Meade A|corrl
Urges Defeat
Of Kennedy

NEWTON. Mass. April 9
B.-Meade Alcorn' said last
night Democratic Senator
Kennedy. Democrat Of Mass.
achusetts. can be defeated this
year and deserves defeat on
the basis Of his Senate record.
Mr.. Alcorn, chairman Of the
Republican National Commit
tee. said in q speech ct . Re-
publican rally:
Since the presidential bug
first bit the junior Senator, he
has undergone some amazing
changes. He has fiip-aopped
completely on some tissues,
while on others he has COM
promised"
Mr.. Alcorn mentioned Sen.
ator Kennedy's votes on the
farm question and civil rights,
and what he called the SEN
ator's brashness last July when
he urged a course toward po-
litcal independence for Algeria
and thus endangered need
lessly our good relations" with
France.
Sailing Charged
He also included Senator
Kennedy among other Demo-
Gratis controlling congressional
committees who, he said, have
dragged their feet on bringing
to a vote Eisenhower admini-
stration labor proposals to
eliminate abuses uncovered by
the Senate Rackets Investigate
ing Committee. Senator Ken
nedy is chairman Of Senate
Labor subcommittee in charge
Of such legislation.
Mr.. Alcorn said Senator
Kennedy and several other
self -styled liberal Democrats"
joined Southern colleagues to
send q House-approved civil
rights bill ITO its traditional
death in Senator James East
lands Judiciary Committee"
but Republicans blocked the
move.
Mr.. Alcorn accused the DEM
ocratic-controlled Congress of
Sailing on administration pro-
posals to assist the jobless and
get them back to work.
Predicts House Control
At q news conference pre-
ceding his speech Mr.. Alcorn
had this to say about next falls
congressional elections:
Assuming there is no fur
ther deterioration in the eco
nomic picture I believe we will
make sufhcient gains to have q
bare majority in the House.
He added. however, that It
was doubtful Republicans
would achieve Q majority In
the Senate.
The reason Is because many
Of the Senate seats exposed
this fall lie In traditional DEM
ocratic territory" he said. in
1860 the shoe will be on the
other foot. though"
Mr.. Alcorn charged the DEM
ocrats with emphasizing econ
omy slashes in the first session
of the present Congress which,
he said. now have resulted in
job layods in critical indus
tries.
