Browsing Room"
Set-Bach; No Room Available
R. B. Downs,. University Librarian, Heartily Endorses Idea But
Says That There Is at Present No Free Space; Matter of
Expense Also Obstacle;
' f
While the controversy about
the location of the proposed
browsing room in the library
rages in the column provided by
U.ho Daily Tar Heel for the ex-
pression of campus opinion, R.
r Downs. University librarian,
comes out with a statement.
"The browsing room should
logically be a part of the Uni
versity library. I want students
to associate not. only required
reading but also reading for
pleasure with the library. . Such
a room could be most efficiently
administered under the library
roof."
Cold Water
Practical-minded Librarian
Downs proceeded to throw what
browsing room enthusiasts may
consider a dash of cold water on
the plan.
"At present " he said, "every
suitable room is filled to capacity
with other books and until addi
tional space can , be provided
there is no space free. Another

HERRHAUPTQIANN
FOR IODNAP HOAX
Bereaved Colonel Testifies De
fendant Is Man Who Collect
ed Ransom Money.
HAUPTMANN UNDISTURBED
Flemington, ' N. J., Jan. . 4.
(UP) Colonel Charles A. Lind
bergh stared into the eyes of
Bruno Hauptmann today and
swore he was the man who col
lected 50,000 as the price for
the life and safety of a child
that was already dead. ')
It was the most damaging
testimony offered so far against
the prisoner, but if Hauptmann
realized that he didn't show it.
All spectators in the hot, little
New Jersey courtroom seemed
more interested in the testimony
than did the man whose life
hung in the balance, and who
sat all day with arms folded
and a blank look molded on his
face. '
Identified Voice '
Lindbergh further testified
that he recognized Hauptmann's
voice as tHat of the man who
took the ransom.
Defense Attorney Edward J.
Reilly, in cross examination, re
vealed the line of defense that
will be followed.
He will try to prove either,
first that somebody slipped in
the front door of the Lindbergh
home and carried the child down
stairs and out the front, ignor
ing the fact that a ladder was
found outside the nursery win
dow, or attempt to prove, sec
ond, that somebody handed the
baby out of the crib, and that
neither Hauptmann nor any
body else actually entered the
room after climbing the' ladder ;
that -instead they stayed out
side and received the baby from
someone inside of the nursery.
The American flying ace was
excused in the middle of the af
ternoon. - The last witness of
the day was Mrs. Elsie Whately,
widow of the Lindbergh butler,
who denied her husband was a
philanderer and recounted
events of the kidnaping day.
Court was adjourned until 10
a. m. Monday.
Plans Meet
Advocates Not Discouraged.
obstacle in the way at present
is the matter of expense, as a
considerable sum would be re
duired to furnish a browsing
room comfortably and to pro
cure attractive books for recre
ational reading."
"The earliest practical date
for beginning a browsing room,"
he continued, "is probably late
in 1935 or 1936."
Downs added that he was
thoroughly in sympathy with
the idea and that he thought
when the time comes to add the
browsing room it should be one
of the most attractive and com
fortable in the library which
could be used for the purpose.
"Never Say Die"
Miss Nora Beust and her stu
dents of the school of library
science, witn whom the idea of a
Drowsing room originated, re
fuse to be discouraged at the
prospect of having to wait sev
eral years for their idea to materialize.
