SELF-SUSTAINING SERVICES

A number of the services of the Library are in whole or in part self-sustaining. A final statement showing the ratio of costs to receipts is not at this time obtainable, for whereas accounts receivable are known with exactitude, charges are not. Expecially in the case of the Distribution of Card Indexes this circumstance prevents a complete estimate of the operations of the last year, for the reason that cards to be added to stock, constituting one of the assets of the service, are still in process of being printed, and their number is not yet known.

The following statement is not intended, consequently, to be a complete accounting of the services described, but merely co show', for purposes of gross comparison, the total disbursements on account of each service (as shown on the books of the Disbursing Office during the year) and the total receipts (as shown in the accounts of the Treasury for the same period). Just as disbursements may have been from any one of the appropriations for the last 3 years which were available for disbursement during 1911, so the receipts may have been partly on account of services rendered during prior years.

Mr. O'NEAL. I think we might proceed with our examination of the individual items in your estimate. When the estimate came to us, rou made the statement, Dr. MacLeish, that the total amount asked for was $1,582,155, while the appropriation for 1942 is $1,327,835, making a net increase of $254,320. Your first item covering salaries of the Library of Congress proper appears at page 92 of the bill. This is now revised to $1,446,455, an increase of $118,620, instead of $254,320. I think it would be well, Dr. MacLeish, to insert in the record at this point the revised summary of the estimate for this item.

Mr. MacLeish. We will supply that for the record.
The matter referred to is as follows:)

Processing Department-Continued
Subject Catalog Division:

1 P-2, $2,600, subject cataloger and classifier in social science.
1 P-1, $2,000, junior subject cataloger and classifier in physical sciences

and technology.
Administrative Department:

1 CAF-5, $2,000, to be in charge of the Pay Roll Section, Personnel

Office.
1 CAF-4, $1,800, clerk to supervise files, Secretary's office.
1 SP-4, $1,620, nurse, first-aid room.

1 CU-3, $1,200, messenger, Mail and Delivery Service. Total, 25 positions, $45,640.

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES

Mr. O'NEAL. At the present time, how many actual positions do you

have under this item in 1942? Mr. CLAPP. Under "Salaries, Library proper," there are 676.5 positions.

Mr. O'NEAL. And under the revised estimates, you are asking for how many?

Mr. CĽAPP. We are asking for 25 new positions.

BIBLIOGRAPHY DIVISION

Mr. MacLEISH. The first increase we are asking for is on page 8 of the justification, as follows:

NEW POSITION REQUESTED

One P-1, $2,000, junior bibliographer to assist in compilation of bibliographies: The staff of the Bibliography Division consists of 8 persons. This number has received an increase of one in the past 38 years. The duties of this Division are to prepare lists of references in response to Members of Congress and others, and to prepare replies and give information with regard to questions involving bibliography. These lists are mimeographed and are listed in the Public Affairs Information Service and in other places, which leads to a considerable public demand for them. The work of the Division facilitates that of the Legislative Reference Service, as well as that of other units of the Library, many agencies of the Government, and other libraries generally. The work of the Division has increased over the past 3 years alone as indicated by the following table:

Mr. O'Neal. You are asking for new positions in the Bibliography Division.

Mr. MACLEISH. Yes, sir; there we are asking for one P-1 position, at $2,000, and the justification there, so far as the history of it is concerned

Mr. O'NEAL (interposing). You are not asking for the junior clerktypist for that Division?

Mr. MACLEISH. No, sir. The Bibliographical Division has had only one new position in 38 years, and that was allowed 4 years ago. The duties of the Division have increased considerably. It is called upon at this time for bibliographies more than at any other period.
