'Collection X' Contains The Odd Books In Library
By HARMAN W. NICHOLS
Washington, April 28 — (U.P.)A young man named Philip Kline led me through stack after stack, corridor after corridor, and cellar after cellar.
At length, he put his compass back in his jacket and said, "Well here we are at ' Collection X.'"
The collection of about 175 books is in the depths of the Library of we are at Collection A.
The collection of about 175 Congress. It's kind of embarrassing to the dignified directors because no classification of these volumes has been possible during the 150-year history of the biggest library in the world.
The books are a conglomeration. Among them are odd interpretations of the Bible and tomes on utopia in government and a lot of other unrelated subjects.
The "X" stands for unknown quantity, same as it does in the algebra books. The collection, for reasons not clear to anybody, was placed in the "B" or religious classification
Mr. Kline turned me over to a Miss Ann Engleman, an attractive red-head who is in charge of the section.
That was for a volume called "Hatred Is Happiness."
She said that "Collection X" doesn't give her any trouble. There haven't been any additions in many a moon and she recalls only one call for a book from "X" during the last year.
I glanced through it, out of curiosity.
The man who wrote it anonymously said he was the world's greatest hater. He didn't have any friends and what's more didn't want any. He said that if he ever got his hands on power he would "lay you dead and drive you into slavery."
Turning from "Hatred Is Happiness," I ran onto another book in which the writer dreamed he was left alone in the world with nothing but apes. He had a divine order, he said, to turn all the apes in the world into people. Most of the book consisted of lectures to the apes.
I didn't get through many pages of that one. Neither was I too much interested at first in the "People on Other Planets." But I warmed up to this one when the author said that on the other planets "the heavy work is done by the power of the mind."
Another writer, which Miss Engleman wanted me to read, wrote 309 pages on the subject "Fifty Reasons Why Wheat's Not Rye—or the Spider and the Fly."
To a fellow who has a lot of grass to clip each week, that was fascinating.
Miss Engleman said that she herself was too busy serving customers of other sections under her command to do much digging around in "Collection X."
