Miss Deutsch is one of the six eminent writers appointed by the Li-
brarian (earlier this year) to serve as Honorary Consultants in American
Letters. She was born in New York City, where she received her formal
education. While still an undergraduate, she began contributing her
poems to scholarly periodicals, and, after graduation from Barnard
College in 1917, she continued to write both poetry and essays. Her
poem, "Thoughts at the Year's End," won a poetry prize from The Nation
magazine in 1926.
Miss Deutsch has contitued..to' produee:;not. only poetry but also
novels, criticism, and books for juveniles. Some of her works are A
Brittle Heaven (1926), Mask of Silenus (1933), Rogue's Legacy (192",
The Reader's Shakespeare 19I), and Poetry in Our Time (1952). Walt
Whitman, Builder for America (19+1), a book for juveniles, won her the
Julia Ellsworth Foundation Prize for that year and was translated into
Spanish under the sponsorship of the American Council of Learned Soci-
eties.
From 1952 to 1931E, Miss Deutsch gave courses on poetry at the New
School for Social Research, and for 2 years she served as Director of
the YM-YWHA Poetry Center in New York City. Animal, Vegetable, Mineral
(1954) and Coming of Age, New and Selected Poems (1959) are the last two
collections of her' verse. She has also compiled a Poetry Handbook

she has collaborated with. him in.numeroui s~.translations, Especially-iri

Acquisition Notes
The Naval HiNtorical Foundation has added to its collection in the
Library of Congress a large group of the papers of Capt. Washington
Irving Chambers, pioneer of naval aviation. The 4,600 items in this
group include correspondence, reports, memoranda, sketches, blueprints,
photographs, airplane logbooks, printed matter, and memorabilia, dated
between 1910 and 1918, predominantly for the period from 1911 to 1913,
the years when Captain Chambers directed aviation affairs for the Navy
Department. In a letter of January 24, 1911, to the first naval avia-
tor, Lt. Theodore G. Ellyson, Captain Chambers explained how he assumed
the leadership of such matters for the Navy:
. I was simply detailed last summer, to look after the avia-
tion correspondence for the Secretary's office, in addition to my
other duties, of course, but I soon found_.I :was in :it up, to ny
neck and that something more was needed.

. I am endeavoring to start an office of aeronautics here [in,
Washington] in such a way that things will run smoothly without
them all get[ting] into one Bureau and made a mess of as was the.
Submarine question.
Hundreds of letters from inventors and manufacturers were patiently
answered by Captain Chambers. In July 1911, $25,000 was made available
to the Bureau of Navigation for experimental work, and three machines-
-two Curtisses and a Wright--were. purchased.
The theoretical side of ; aviation and its possible role in future
wars also engaged his attention. On December 5, 1911, in reply to .a.
letter from Ernest L. Jones, editor of Aeronautics, pleading for an
evaluation of the airplane, Captain Chambers stated:
Aviation is barely out of the crawling state of infancy al-
though many would like us to assume that we must judge of the fur
ture by present performances. $ome.enthusiasts are over-sanguine,
the knockers are too. pessimistic and everybody is too Pond of
; en anon.
They.[eirplanes] will be useful au::iliaries in the war game
everywhere, but don't for a moment entertain the idea that they
are going to supplant armies on land or ships on the sea. That is
an old, old story with which we have to contend when anything new
appears. It is fascinating for the. overburdened taxpayer to think
that some new cheap and sneak device is going to revolutionize
warfare and cheapen its cost and many misguided enthusiasts prey
upon his credulity in order to force the development in the wrong
way. It has always been so and always will be so, but the net
result in the end is always to increase the cost of war, because
it adds: still another factor or complication to consider.
Among Captain Chambers' correspondents were naval aviation pioneers
Theodore G. Ellycon, John Rodgers, J. H. Towers, V. D. Herbster, and
H. C. Richardson; and inventors and manufacturers Glenn H. Curtiss,
Grover Loening, Elmer A. Sperry, Nicola Tesla, and Wilbur and Orville
Wright.
The Washington Irving Chambers papers have been organized and are
available for consultation in the reading room of the, manuscript Divi-
sion. Selections from them will be exhibited there during October.
(Edwin A. Thompson]
To commemorate the 50th year of naval aviation, the Manuscript
Division will exhibit during October selected items, dated in 1911, from
the recently acquired papers of Capt. Washington Irving Chambers, first
head of Naval Aviation. The letters noted in the column "Acquisition
Note," on pp. 56;-561 of this issue of the Information Bulletin are
among the materials to be shown.

Annex during October and November. The exhibit will illustrate, mostly
in color, recent technical developments in the design and manufacture of
textiles and other products. Photographs in books and periodicals will
show new designs in the traditional kimono, lacquer ware, pottery, glass-
ware, bamboo ware, paper and paper products, dolls, jewelry, and artifi-
cial flowers, which reflect the contributions made by these light in-
dustries toward the national economic growth of Japan during the last
few years. [Osamu Shimizu]
During October the Map Division will exhibit the daily weather neaps
that charted the path of Hurricane Carla, the tropical cyclone which--
spotted in the West Indies on.September 5--moved westward across the
Gulf of Mexico to bring death and destruction to the Texas-Louisiana
coastal regions. [Walter W. Ristow]

Designed to serve librarians, scientists, educators, and government
officials, this guide is intended to identify and describe scientific
organizations and publications of Mainland China. With the increase in
importance of science and technology in Mainland China during the last
decade, there have been a number of publications, chiefly in the Chinese
and Japanese languages, which list and describe Mainland Chinese re-
search organizbtions, societies, and universities. Despite these ef-
forts, it appeared desirable to provide, in English, a single, compre-
hensive list, which would include the titles of publications as well as
information descriptive of the organizations.

early and rare editions of Don Quixote is comprised almost entirely of
books given to the Library of Congress by'Mr. Kebler.
Mr. Kebler's interests were not limited to Cervantes, and in his
generous presentations of-important first editions and of manuscripts he
was frequently joined by Mrs. Kebler. Among the many gifts made to the
Library of Congress by Mr. and Mrs. Kebler are an illuminated manuscript
book of hours, executed in France about 1+50; an edition of Innocent
VIII's Re ae:,. Cancellariae Apostolicae, published in Rome in 1484+, no
other copy of which is recorded in America; 36 first editions of the
works of Lafcadio Hearn, along.with many translations and books about
Hearn; 2 early hornbooks, 1 made of ivory; many first,edibi.ons of both
Increase and Cotton Mather; and editions of interest of books, by Albert
Einstein, James Thomson, Emily Dickinson, Robinson Jeffers, Eugene
O'Neill, and other writers.
Comprehensive sets of the worxs of Charles Dickens .and Washington
Irving are also in the Library of Congress because of the generosity of
Mr. and Mrs. Kebler. The list of English authors represented in Kebler
gifts to the Library include Jonathan Swift, Samuel Johnson (with a
particularly fine copy of his Dictionary in its original binding),
Byron, Shelley, and Thackeray. American literature is richly spread
forth in the Kebler gifts with fine editions, many of which are presen-
tation or association copies, of Thomas Prince, John Cotton,.William
Cullen Bryant, Oliver Wendell Holmes, James Russell Lowell, Henry Wads-
worth Longfellow, John Greenleaf Whittier, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Edgar
Allan Poe, Stephen Crane, and Henry David Thoreau.
The gifts of Mr. and Mrs. Kebler to the Library of Congress have
been rich end varied, and last--but obviously far from least--is the
original manuscript of one of Thoreau's essays, a meditation on "Whether
the Government ought to educate the children of those parents, who
refuse to do it themselves."

Michel, Comte de Rochambeau, of Paris and of the Chateau de Rocham-
beau at Thore-la-Rochette, visited the Manuscript Division on Friday,
September 22, to consult the Rochambeau papers, which the United States
Government purchased in 1883 from his grandfather, the Marquis de Rocham-
beau. The papers are those of Jean-Baptiste Donatien de Vimeur, Comte
de Rochambeau, who commanded an auxiliary corps of 6,000 French soldiers
in the American Revolution and who joined with General Washington's forces
and with the French fleet under the Comte de Gras at Yorkto-vm in 1781 to
accomplish the capitulation of Cornwallis. The present Comte de Rocham-
beau, a direct descendant, examined also some of the Washington papers
f o r October 1781 and was most interested to find among them the original
articles of capitulation, signed by Cornwallis on October 19, 1781. The
visitor is an engineer, associated with the Ecole Cent~ale de Paris
(Arts et Manufactures).

The Adams Papers. Vibrant with a family's sense of history and its
sense of responsibility to the Nation, a ceremony at the Massachusetts
Historical Society on Friday afternoon, September 22, marked the publi-
cation of the first four volumes of The Adams Papers, containing the
diary and autobiography of John Adams.
Thomas Boylston Adams, president of the HIS, who presided, express-
ed his pleasure that the Adamses--who did not make it a habit to achieve
popularity in their lifetimes--were at last attaining it, and his con-
viction that a working knowledge of history is essential to survival.
"The fool and the rascal," he said, "have it all their way when the
people do not have access to the sources."
Lyman H. Butterfield, editor-in-chief of the monumental undertaking
to publish portions of the papers of the Adams family, i-rhich Edward
Everett Hale called a "manuscript history of America," took a "brief
bow." He called attention to the emblem devised for john Quincy Adams,
which is used as the decorative motif for The A.datis Papers. Consisting
of an acorn and oak leaves, it bears a Latin inscription meaming "He
plants trees for the benefit of future generations"; t is symbolizes
both the dedication of the Adamses to the service of their country and
the importance of their papers for the continuing exploration of the
American past.
Julian P. Boyd, editor of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, spoke for
the editors of the several projects within the program of the National
Historical Publications Commission. Terming Dr. Butterfield "an editor's
editor," Dr. Boyd reminded the audience that the publication of such
papers is not of importance to historical scholarship alone but, because

of the discussion of American-political institutions that was taking
place then and is taking place now,?it has "meaning for us as citizens."
Adams, he said, felt, as did Madison, that liberty and learning had to
lean on each other.
Thomas J..Wilson, head of the Harvard University Press, whose
Belknap Press is publishing The Adams Papers, was introduced to the
audience, and Paul Buck, Carl H. Pforzheimer University Professor at
Harvard University, told of the history of the Harvard press.
Samuel. Flagg Bemis, Sterling Professor of Diplomatic History and
Inter American Relations at Yale University, gave the principal address--
one of wit and warmth, understanding and appreciation--on "The Adams
Family and Their Manuscripts." Permitted to use the papers (they were
"handed out" to him from the inner sanctum where the papers were kept)
before they were opened for research, Dr. Bemis knows them better than
anyone except the current editors. One reason they were not opened
sooner, Dr. Bemis said, was that the family provided its own historians
and themselves worked with the papers. Henry Adams II, the last to
serve as curator--"vigilator," Dr. Bemis called him--used to become so
absorbed in the family archives that he talked to them, or:to himself.
"Confound it!" Dr. Bemis would hear from the search room adjoining the
inner sanctum, "Abigail shouldn't have said that!" In emphasizing the
historical as well as the human side, Dr. Bemis pointed out that the
Adamues "have always been men of the whole Nation," and the family
-records constitute the most important body of such materials preserved
in the United States.
The guests at the ceremony were given, as keepsakes, facsimiles;,
printed by the Meriden Gravure Company and the Stinehour Press, of a
letter John Adams wrote to his wife Abigail from Falmouth (Portland);,
Mcdne. Dated July 9, 177+, the letter reveals the,. many-sided Adams, and
it characterizes him in his own words: "I have a Zeal at my Heart, for
my Country and her Friends, which I cannot smother or conceal. . . ."
The four volumes, of which Leonard C. Faber, now on the staff of
the NIHPC, and Wendell D. Garrett served as assistant editors, have been
published as a set. Volume I contains the introduction and guide to
editorial apparatus and John Adams' diary, 1755-70; volume II, his diary
for 1771-81; volume III, his diary for 1782-1804, with fragmentary
diaries of Abigail Adams, 1784, 1787, and 1788, and John Adams' auto-
biography to October 1776; and volume IV, the second and third sections
of the autobiography, "Travels and Negotiations," 1777-78, and "Peace,"
1779-80, with a chronology (1735-1826) of JA--as he is referred to in
the illuminating footnotes throughout the volumes--and an index. The
handsomely printed set sells for $30.
On October 3 Washington will mark the publication of this first
segment of The Adams Papers at a special Washington Post and Times-
Herald Book and Author Luncheon at the Statlerilton Hotel. This event
is being cosponsored by.the American Historical Association, the Library
of Congress, the National Archives, the National Historical Publications
Commission, and the Belknap Press. President Kennedy, Thomas Boylston
Adams, Dr. Boyd, and Dr. Butterfield will speak. (LC does not have

Out of the World of the Librarian. The anniversary volume of
essays for the 65th birthday of Rudolf Juchhoff, the retired head of the
Cologne University and City Library, seems to mirror in a way the profes-
sional life of many outstanding German librarians. The book has appeared
recently through the Greven Verlag, Cologne, as a publication of the
North Rhineland-Westphalia Library School under the title.Aus.der Welt
des Bibliothekars: Festschrift fUr Rudolf Juchhoff gum 65. Geburtstag
1961, +7 p.). Kurt Ohly and Werner Krieg, the editors, have arranged
the essays in three groups: (1) on the history of printing and the
book, (2) on..the history of libraries and of learning, and (3) on li-
brary practice and education. These groupings correspond in a way to
the professional interests of Librarian Juchhoff, as reflected in the
78 titles of his writings from 1923 through 1960, as listed on pp. 470
78. He had his real beginning and main professional experience in the
former Prussian State Library at Berlin, the great proving ground for
the German research librarians, before he came to Cologne after the
Second World War. He had passed through a formative experience with the
General Incunabula Commission and then had taken over with the Central
Union Catalog and Information Service. At Cologne he had not only the

essays reflect the professional interests of his personal friends and
coworkers and are in German, with two exceptions--one in Dutch and one
in English. Produced not too far from the home of.:the beginning of
printing, the volume, within its section on the history of the book,
includes among other things a contribution by Josef Benzing, the inde-
fatigable worker on the bibliography and printing of the 16th century.
In the section on the history of libraries and learning are treatments
of two special types of library development--one on parliamentary and
administrative libraries, by Fritz Prinzhorn, and one entitled "Die
Wissenschaftliche Stadtbibliothek" (as distinguished from the Volksbtich-
erei), by Wolfgang van der Briele. In the section on library practice
and education are several essays on various problems of catalogs, as
well as one by Ludwig Sickmanrt, who was in the United States last year,
on teaching cataloging. A copy is available in the general collections.

Documents from Taiwan.. During a recent..vjsit to various countries
of the Far East, Eugene Wu, Curator of the Chinese Collection. at the
Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace, was given access in
Taiwan to an important collection of documents pertaining to the history
of,Chinese' Communism in the :private library of Vice President Chen Cheng
of the Republic. of China. Mr. Wu microfi?medthe collection, which, has.
heretofore been available only on a very restricted basis. to schola_rs.in
Taiwan. In response to,requests to make this collection more readily
available for research, positive copies of these films, which fill 21
reels averaging 100 feet each, are being o' eyed by the Hoover Institu-
tion at $300 a set, plus postage, insurance, and the cost of reels and
boxes. A checklist of the 1,107 documents included has been filmed at
the end of the last reel. Inquiries concerning the film may be address-
ed to Mr. Wu at the Hoover Institution, Stanford, Calif. Mr. Wu de-
scribes the contents of the collection as follows:
The microfilms are for the most part Chinese Communist source
documents relative to the Kiangsi Soviet Republic, 1931-34. They
include CCP party directives, policy statements, resolutions of
the Politburo and of the Central Committee, and documents, posters,
and handbills issued by the CCP Kiangsi Provincial Committee, the
Red Army and other local agencies of the Kiangsi Soviet. Included
also are collections of laws and statutes, manuals, regulations
for the Youth Corps, and a large variety of pamphlets, mimeograph-
ed materials, etc., on the cadres, the Kuomintang military cam-
paigns, political text books for the Red Army personnel, and the
political, economic and social conditions within the Communist-
controlled Soviet areas. Many periodicals are in this collection
also. Some are fragmentary but several of the most important ones
are almost complete, including such official organs as the Hung-se
Chung-hua, Tou-eheng, and Ch'ing-nien shih-hua. In short, here is
a collection of Chinese Communist source material on one of the
most crucial periods of the history of the Chinese Communist Move-
ment, issued for internal and intra-party use which has never been
available to Western scholars for research on Chinese Communism.
