Library Buys Joyce's Books
Watson library acquisitioned recently the James F. Spoerri collection, one of the three best in the country, grouping books by and about Irish novelist James Joyce. The other two collections are at Yale and the University of Buffalo.
James Spoerri, a Chicago collector, acquired the Joyce books over a period of years, gathering a total of 650 English editions and most of the foreign translations. There are also hundreds of books about the life and works of Joyce.
Various editions of Joyce's second novel, "Ulysses," are now on display at the library to show the parallel with Homer's "Odyssey." In addition, biographical and critical works of the novel and its author are shown.
Foreign Fuel Policy 'Red'
Chicago—(U.P.)-Rep. John P. Saylor today said this country's trade policy on foreign fuel is along lines "formulated by Harry Dexter White and other Communist spies in government."
The Pennsylvania Republican charged "excessive" residual oil imports are crippling the domestic coal industry and charged that policies responsible for this "if not instigated by the White conspiracy, at least were endorsed by it."
Saylor maude the statement in an address prepared for delivery before the Foreign Oil Policy committee meeting in Chicago.
He said that "unless something is done to halt the import of foreign residual oil, the coal industry cannot be expected to meet the demands another war would bring.
"I would venture to say that Harry Dexter White and his comrades in the State department were well aware of this fact."
Saylor said the State department's policy on residual oil imports will result in "bankruptcy and annihilation" of America's coal industry.
"When the Reds first began to establish a beachhead in Washington some 20 years ago, the power to regulate foreign commerce was transferred from the Congress to the State department where trade policies could be regulated."
He asserted that certain U.S. foreign trade practices coincide with basic Communist doctrine. Saylor quoted Karl Marx as saying he favored free trade because "it breaks up old nationalities and carries the antagonism between proletariat and bourgeoisie to the uttermost point."
