Development of Library Resources

Adequate area studies programs at institutions of higher education require the availability of books and other resource materials from and about the areas to be studied. Academic libraries traditionally have had responsibility for developing collections of resource materials, but their success in the past has been moderate. Following World War II, li braries have made intensive efforts, both individually and co operatively, to acquire significant materials from all foreign areas, but their collections are still not fully adequate for many areas, particularly the non-Western. A major cause of inadequacy has been insufficient funds, not only for the pur chase of materials, but also to support on-the-scene acquisitions and to hire staff with area and language competence. Federal programs in recent years have provided use of surplus foreign currencies—under Public Law 480, Eighty-third Congress— for major research libraries to acquire library materials in selected countries, and have also provided support under the National Defense Education Act. To develop adequate col lections of resource materials, however, further support is needed, as well as greater co-operative efforts among libraries and area studies groups.

Private Property, the Indian's Door to Civilization

In the course of the Eighty-third Congress Utah Senator Arthur Watkins inserted in the Congressional Record a remark that several so called termination bills which had just become law had started the ball rolling toward getting the government out of the Indian business. Developing the point further, he commented, are not lazy, but they cannot be forced to farm or raise sheep and cattle. Given his property and the right and obligation to manage it properly, the Indian will soon prove himself, as has every other minority in this melting pot of races.i To the student of American Indian history, sentiments of this type have a familiar ring. A Sioux agent 97 years ago, and 29 years before the passage of the Dawes Severalty Act, inspired the title for this paper by stating, Give a man a separate tract to cultivate and he does not hesitate to labor in the common field .... The common field is the seat of barbarism; the separate farm the door to civilization.2 The Sioux agent was just one of scores of government officials, politicians, and friends of the Indian to see the problem as Senator Watkins now sees it. Though the Dawes Severalty Act, which authorized the dissolution of tribal government and the allotment of land to individual Indians, did not become law until 1887, the idea that private property had peculiar civilizing qualities has been present throughout the history of relations between the Indians and our government.3 I do not mean to contend that other factors and forces, for example our interest in Indian lands, did

Concession Stand Operation in a Centrally-Managed Program

The article by Dr. Jacobus tenBroek, “The Eighty-third Congress and the Blind,” which appeared in the January New Outlook discussed, among other matters, legislation relating to vending or concession stands. Dr. tenBroek is certainly correct that changes brought about in the vending stand program by Public Law 565 are confusing and are a mixture of progress and retardation. However, we feel that Dr. tenBroek's strong negative reaction to the control type program needs to be balanced by facts which come from experience with both individually-operated stands and a centrally-managed plan. Further, there is a lack of reference material in our literature relating to vending or concession stand operation, and we hope that this article, together with Dr. tenBroek's, will stimulate increased thinking about an enterprise which offers one of the most feasible employment opportunities for visually handicapped individuals. Mr. Johnson, now the manager of our Cleveland program, has had fourteen years of experience in concession stand operation with Ohio State Services for the Blind and with our agency. He has written the following story of our operation in Cleveland which we submit in the hope that our experience may be of some interest to others.— Allan W. Sherman, Executive Director, Cleveland Society for the Blind

The Eighty-Third Congress: Second Session

PRESIDENT EISENHOWER in his State of the Union address to the second session of the Eighty-third Congress, on January 7, stated: All branches of this Government -and I venture to say both of our great parties can support the general objective of the recommendations I make today. .. . The President then proceeded to describe our foreign relations and trade, atomic energy, defense and internal security, our national economy, the budget, taxes, agriculture, conservation, national highways, post office, human problems, labor and welfare, health, education, housing, veterans, and suffrage making some specific legislative recommendations in certain of those areas and announcing that subsequent messages on various other proposals would be forthcoming. During the session, Congress gave some consideration to all of his recommendations, and, by and large, both Houses accomplished their tasks without straight party division. The President, however, did not get all of his legislative program enacted. The program was presented to Congress in the State of the Union message,' the Budget,2 and the Economic Report of the President,3 and in messages making legislative recommendations on labor-management relations,4 agriculture,5 the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance System and the Federal Grant-in-Aid Programs for Public Assistance,6 health,7 housing,8 atomic energy,9 foreign economic policy,10 group insurance for federal employees, international labor conferences,12 mutual security,13 and disaster relief.14

The Eighty-Third Congress: First Session

T HE EIGHTY-THIRD Congress, First Session, met in the face of a situation heretofore untried, which resulted from the adoption of the Twentieth Amendment. The session was convened on January 3, but President Eisenhower did not take his oath of office until January 20, 1953.1 Hence, Congress received two State of the Union messages, a budget message and then revised budget estimates. President Truman sent his State of the Union message to Congress on January 7,2 followed by his budget message on January 9; President Eisenhower delivered his State of the Union message to Congress in joint session on February 2,3 and he authorized the agencies to request revised estimates of the Appropriations Committees.4 These documents and special messages served as a basis for the Congress to determine its legislative program.
