BY MARY McGRORY

President-elect Kennedy Is
shopping around for q replace

as Librarian Of Congress.

bald MacLeish tradition"
He Is. curiously enough, get
ting no help In his search from
the people most concerned, the
Librarians Of the country.
Their iibrary-like silence, ac-
cording to one bookman, is not
due to the total approval Of
incumbent Mumford. In fact,
Mr.. Mumford and the Amer
lean Library Association have
Q history Of dissent over what
the Library Of Congress ought
to be and ought to do.
But the ALA has long been
on record that the SIS. .O00-a-
year hbrarianship should have
lifetime tenure and no political
connotations whatever.
The librarians silence is
further imposed by their estab-
lished position that the Ma
tion's No. library post should

ford, an Eisenhower appointee,
who took over from Luther H.
Evans In 1862, was formerly
librarian Of the Cleveland
Public Library.
FDR Defends MacLeish
When President Franklin D.
Roosevelt named Archibald
MacLeish librarian In 1899, the
Librarians burst out Of their
stacks with a cry Of calamity. I"
FDR countered with the
contention that he had chosen
"a poet, q scholar and q gen.
tleman." What did 1t matter
If the Librarian Of Congress
knew nothing Of the Dewey
decimal system? He should be,
said FDR. "a man Of intellec-
tual distinction"
The appointment went
Through. Mr.. MacLeish during
his tenure wrote a long report
on library techniques that be-
came q bible among those who
had opposed him.
Names Suggested
In recent weeks, the Ken
nedy staff. somewhat baffled
by the unique absence Of help
full suggestions on filling this
post, finally solicited some
names from Harvard. its chief
labor pool. The name Of Arthur
Schlesinger. jr., Harvard pro-
fessor and historian. was sug.
gested. Others were Paul Buck,
Harvard librarian, and Julian
Boyd, director Of the Princeton
library. August Hecksher, for
mer New York Herald Tribune
editorial writer and head Of the
Twentieth Century Fund, was
also put on the list.
The ALA has sent In no
names. But in its ranks are
many who take vehement ex-
Eception to Mr.. ,Mumford's -iew

It should be q national institu-

search centers all over the

today, possibly to discuss the
rules problem.
House Battle Seen
Meanwhile, the battle lines
are drawn for a possibly spec
tacular and shattering fight on
the House floor Tuesday. On
one side are about 100 Northern
and Western Democrats gem
orally favoring a change in the
rules or in the Rules Commit
tee. But they are widely divided
on exactly what ought to be
done and how to do 1t.
On the other side is a deter
mined, active and alert band
of about Ito Southern Demo-
Gratis. In recent weeks. under
the leadership of Rules Com
mittee Chairman Smith, Demo-
crat of Virginia. many Of them
have worked quietly to marshal
support for keeping the rules
and the committee composition
unchanged. They are confident
they can count on most Of the
IT'S Republicans in the new
House.
There also is a middle group,
mostly Democrats, who in gen.
eral believe the wisest course
would be to do nothing at this
time. The Democrats in this
group are apprehensive about
establishing possibly dangerous
precedents and arousing party
and sectional antagonisms that
would endanger the Kennedy
administration programs.
They are relying on Mr.. Ray
burn to break any Rules Com
mittee bottleneck that might
threaten administration bills
later in the session. Several in
this group. however, say pri-
vately they might 60 along with

So none Of their murmurang
about Mr.. Munford has
reached the ears Of the Ken

The position Of the library
world was tactfully summar-
lied by Werner w. Clapp, a vet
eran Of 80 years experience at
the Library Of Congress, who
left the Job Of Chief Assistant
Librarian to become President
