HOUSE 0. K.’S BILL
8
1 10 BUY INCUNABULA
j $1,500,000 to Purchase Voll
jj behr Collection and $6,-
j 500,000 for Library Voted.
|! The House late yesterday passed and
I sent to the Senate the Luce bill, which
I authorizes construction of a $6,500,000
! annex to the Library of Congress, and
I the Collins bill, which authorizes the
I purchase for $1,500,000 of the famous
i V oil behr collection of incunabula for
the Library of Congress.
The annex building is planned to take
! care of crowding in the present Library
of Congress building. The annex will
house the bound volumes of newspapers,
| official documents of foreign countries,
, copyright deposit flies and a mass of
I volumes stored for future use.
The Vollbehr collection comprises
; 3,000 books printed before A.D. 1500,
and including one of the three known
surviving copies of the Gutenberg Bible.
Not a dissenting voice was heard
against suspension of the rules and pas
sage of the measure, despite the fact
that the Library committee reported
the bill without recommendation.
Chairman Luce of the Library com
mittee said its enactment would mean
the adoption of a policy of purchasing
rarities. “I am ready to join with
France and the countries of Europe In
the preservation of art and the promo
tion of culture,” he said.
The collection is owned by Dr. Otto
Vollbehr of Berlin. The Library com
mittee set forth in its report that "if
the offer is not accepted before ad
journment of this session of Congress”
the collection would be sold at auction.

FLOODS THREATEN
FLORIDA SECTION
Heavy Rains in Everglades
Affect Lake Okeechobee
Communities.
i
By the Associated Press.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., June 10.
—A number of communities in the
Lake Okeechobee section were threat
ened by high water yesterday in the
wake of heavy rains in that portion of
the Everglades.
The most serious conditions existed in
the town of Gladeview, Loxahatchee
and Twenty-Mile Bend. Water was re
ceding at many other places, and It
was believed the crisis had passed.
Pumps were being used 'to empty
fields of the overkflow that started dur
ing the week end. Nine inches of water
remained over the Conners highway, a
principal thoroughfare in the district,
but roads in other sections were above
the flood yesterday.
Lake Okeechobee was said to be at a
high level, but no great damage was
feared from this source. The water
near Gladeview and Loxahatchee was
said to be waist deep.
Chief attention has been turned to
the western area of this city, which
was under water sufficiently deep that
several families have temporarily evac
uated. Water came to the floor level
of some houses in that portion of the
city. There were also some breaks in
the levee.
