HOOVER T0 DIRECT LIBRARY PROJECT Ex-President to Assemble War Documents, Many of Which Are Secret. By the Associated Press. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Calif. | June 23.—In the cloistered calm of campus surroundings, former President | Herbert C. Hoover will soon set quietly | to work at a new task—the preserva- tion for posterity of history that never has been_told. New shelves are going up in the archives of the Stanford library and & “work room" is taking shape in a wing of the bullding where the man | who was directing a nation a few | months ago will pore over documents in many languages and map out re- search procedure for assistants. Mr. Hoover will be devoting himself to an old hobby in his new role. The Hoover war library—the largest collec- tion of its kind—was founded in 1919 with funds provided by him. Ever since he has talked to university associates of the day when he could find time to outline to librarians the scope of ‘the material awaiting classification. Much of Material Secret. Some of the material probably will be edited for publication under his direction, librarians said. Much of it, however, is secret and sealed, not to be made public for many years. Men must die before some of the documents are read. Governments must fall, or pass into other hands. Historical treasures to make a bibliophile’s eyes glint are stowed away | in prosaic boxes and shelves. The se- crets of thrones and revolutions, heroes and rogues, lie buried there. Among the several million items now included in the growing collection are documents dealing with war negotia- tions of almost all the countries in the world. During ‘he armistice Mr.| Hoover, as food relief administrator, | ‘was in intimate touch with all the gov- etnments of Europe. | “And I was venal enough,” he said| in an informal conference with news- | paper men the Summer before his election in 1928, “to utilize that in- timacy in securing war documents from all governments as a personal favor to me.” Under a permanent endowment Mr. Hoover bestowed upon the library in 1924 its affairs are administered by a| board of directors headed by Prof. | Ralph H. Lutz of the Stanford history | department. | List of Contributors. | A board of honorary curators con- stantly contributes new documents. | On the board are Stanislas Arct of ‘Warsaw, PFrancis Bessenyey, Budapest; Maj. Gist Blair, Washington; Yrjo Hirn, Helsingfors, Finland; Slobodan Jovano- vich, Belgrade, Yugoslavia; J. E. Khuri, American Universty at Beirut; Antonius Pifp, University of Tartu, collector for | the Baltic region; Constantine Stepha- neve, University of Sofia, Bulgaria; Rafael Hellodoro Valleye for Mexico and Ladislav J. Zivny, ¥niversity of Prague, Czechoslovakia. In the Russian Revolutionary Insti- tute collection is #=ntained probably the | most complete mterial on bolshevism in any library ane 1 record of what Mr. —_— FISK RUG ‘_ i ] i ) i : | day from the steamship Santa Teresa. Hoover has described as “what happened in an attempt at world revolution dur- ing the war.” Records of the imperialistic regime in Germany and in Russia. which in librar- ian parlance are classed as “ephemeral matter,” have been salvaged for the collection and with them history which otherwise would have perished. A “front line trench” collection con- tains propaganda leaflets scattered over ! German trenches by allled planes dur- ing the war and blamed by Von Hinden- burg as an important factor in the breakdown of German forces. In 1936 the first of the sealed docu- ments are to be opened. Others will remain untouched for 35 years or longer. ACCEPTS HOOVERS’ BID. Justice Stone Will Motor With Them to Palo Alto Home.
