Senate Democratic Leader Lyn- j don B. Johnson of Texas told the cheering delegates he had just in troduced legislation to create a committee to study the gravity of the unemployment problem and the actual need for more highway, housing, airport and other public works measures to buoy the eco nomy. George Meany, president of the AFL-CIO which sponsored the ral ly, accused the administration of “do nothing” policies and sounded a keynote for other speakers in maintaining that recent improve ments still leave unemployment a serious national problem, Meany said that despite what he called administration ballyhoo in announcing March job gains, the country still is left with 4,362,- 00 workers unable to find pay ing jobs to feed their families, fhe government announced Tues day a drop of 400,000 in the num- oer of unemployed.

But Reuther took he bloom off the compliment. “We like Jim Mitchell,” he said. 3ut the unemployed can’t stand m pious platitudes and promises. le tragedy is that Eisenhower ad ministration polices are not for mulated by Jim Mitchell but by Mr. George Humphrey on quail .unts in Georgia.” OPEN HOUSE Friday - Saturday & Sunday April 10th - 11th & 12th 1608 ARMISTEAD Redmond Terrace Featuring: ★ GE Wall Refrigerator 'ir GE Electric Range & Oven ★ GE Dishwasher Building for your inspection in the better subdivisions—: CULPEPPER MANOR - WINDOVER ESTATES - REDMOND TERRACE Mortage Loans Arranged to Suit Your Budget and Income.- VA - FHA & CONVENTIONAL LOANS —Lower Interest . . .

A&M Librarian Says Serious Reading Interests Needed by American People The American people need to establish reading as a part of their normal daily life, according to Robert A. Houze, director of the A&M libraries. Houze, speaking before the Col lege Station Kiwanis Club Tues day, said today only 40 per cent of the adult American population do active reading, with the excep tion of reading The Bible. “With the trend toward more and more leisure time, we need to answer the challenge with stim ulating reading-—not just reading the newspaper comics and sports page, but the serious reading of good books,” Houze said. “Until the past few years, reading was a popular form of recreation, but today other ready forms of rec reation have crowded serious read ing into the background. Still only reading offers the opportunity for self-development through educa tional and cultural interests.” The A&M librarian spoke in connection with the “National Li brary Week” program planned next week in observance of the services rendered by the libraries of this country. “We fully realize that we can’t change the reading habits of a nation in one day, nor even a week,” Houze said. “But we can at least open the door and try to show as many people as possible what we have to offer during Na tional Library Week. Houze said Cushing Memorial Library caters to all interests. Books are ordered regularly to keep the library up to date on sub jects ranging from hobbies to educational topics, he pointed out. Thte aim of the library is to devel op a serious cultural interest of students, faculty and all members of the community, he added. “Most people have some prede termined concept of a library,” Houze said. “Here at A&M it is chiefly of educational value in the minds of most, and truly it is per haps the best place to locate and utilize information in any search for facts. But skill is important in the successful use of any library and this certainly holds true for any student.” Next week the doors of Cushing Library will be open, Houze said. Following the National Library Week theme of “Wake Up and Read,” he said each student, fac ulty member and College Station citizen was invited to come by and learn more about what the library has to offer them, whatever their interest.
