Santa Barbara, Montecito, and Ojai Saved By Shift In Winds
SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Sept.
11—(UP)—A sudden shift in the wind saved three communities from imminent destruction tonight by a forest fire which raged uncontrolled along a 35-mile front in Santa Barbara and Ventura counties and was rapidly heading into Los Angeles county.	1
Forresters in charge of 1,000 exhausted and smoke-blackened fire fighters expressed hopes of keeping the flames away from Santa Barbara, Montecito and Ojai if the wind continues on its new course to the northwest.
The fire, however, was within seven and a half miles of the exclusive Montecito resort section and within six miles of Ojai and steadily advancing on them—despite determined efforts of some 500 men when the fortunate wind shift occurred.
90,000 ACRES BURNED
The moat serious fire in the history of Santa Barbara national forest, the blaze threatened to assume giant proportions as the eastern end began extending toward Fillmore and Piru, near the Ventura — Los Angeles boundary line. Already more than 90,000 acres have been burned over.
Police recruited 170 men to reinforce the 350 fighting the fire outside Montecito, while the Ventura American Legion sent scores more into the Ojai and Piru districts. Every able-bodied man found on the streets in population centers was summoned to duty.
A new peril arose when the fire began skirting toward the ocean in theCarpentaria and Rincon districts, where scores of oil wells are in operation.
Oil	workers and others hurriedly began clearing firebreaks from the Wheeler district, near Ojai, as far as Carpenteria to remove the valuable wells from the possibility of destruction—not to mention the danger of a devastating oil field blaze.
WIND SHIFTS
The wind shift, while saving Santa Barbara, Montecito and Ojai from immediate danger, placed Piru and Fillmore ln peril by changing the direction of the flames. New forces were sent to the fire's eastern front in hopes of heading it off.
Tbe Sespe district, one of the most famous deer hunting sections in southern California, has been completely burned over, wardens reported. This was only a small part of the destruction, however, as the loss in watersheds is incalculable.
Beauty and Utility Are Combined In Latest Campus Addition
One of the finest educational buildings in the United States is at the disposal of S. C. students after today when the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library is turned over to the board of trustees by the donors, the Doheny family.
Not only was beauty considered in the design of the new structure of brick, stone, marble, glass and steel, but utility also was a guiding factor. The builders have given to the university a memorial that is outstanding for its magnificence and exceptional for its study and research facilities.
BEAUTIFUL ROOM
Probably the most notable room in the Doheny Jr. library is the main reading room, located on the first floor. The largest room in the building, it seats 300 persons and extends through two stories.lt has a coffered ceiling of decorated cast accoustical plaster, and the woodwork and bookshelves are done in American walnut. Six thousand reference books are housed here, with others being kept in the main stack. 1
The treasure room, near the main reading room, is panelled in English oak. Rare books and manuscripts will be kept here. The room contains a marble bust of Edward L. Doheny Jr., and a series of murals^epicting the invention and development of the printed word. The murals are the work of Samuel Armstrong. Designed by the architect, Samuel E. Lunden. the furniture of the same wood as the paneling.
PERIODICAL ROOM
Across the hall from the main reading room is the periodical room, decorated in a light, and airv manner in American sycamore. The clock, lighting fixtures and furniture were designed for the room. Of sycamore with lace-vood tops, the tables are distinctive; chairs are done in mahogany.
The most distinguishing feature of the University avenue facade 's the impressive entrance, an arched opening in a face of limestone. The archway consists of a pair of ornamented concentric arches, the outer one resting on columns of Alps green marble with capitals of carved black marble. The soffit of the inner arch contains a band of mosiac in blues and geld representing the zodiac.
In tbe tympanum a sculptured medallion carved in marble is supported by two mosaic spandrels. The sculpture pictures a teacher instructing two students. He reads from a scroll on which are Alpha and Omega, symbols of all knowledge. The spandrel on the right represents Alexander the Great cutting the Gordian knot. On the left Hercules bears the golden fruit oi Hesperides. The mosaic spandrels and soffit and the sculp-(Continued on Page Four)

President Rufus B. von KleinSmid— “The dedication of the Edward L. Doheny Jr. memorial library begins a new era of interest and opportunity at The University of Southern California. The construction, the organization, and the program of procedure are all the result of long study and worldwide observation among the most serviceable libraries in existence. Neither labor nor expenditure has ! been limited to create in this library the most efficient institution possible. The work of our students will srow constantly in breadth and richness throughout all time to come, because of this generous gift-
“The gratitude of the entire university to the donors will be best shown by that intelligent and extensive use of the library and its facilities that will enable it to function through constantly widening influence throughout the life of this entire community.”
Frank C. Touton, vice-president of the university— “The completion and dedication of the Edward
L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library opens to both faculty and students of the university a library building unsurpassed on any American university campus in its beauty and facilities for library work. The library in useful books, in bound volumes of periodicals, and in current magazines, is both large and well selected. It is worthy of the new building which is so graciously and generously provided by the Doheny family as a memorial to the late Edward L. Doheny Jr., former trustee of the university. In its plan and construction our president, our librarian, the architects and the builders, have worked untiringly and have had the council and advice of the donors. Together they have built a library of which we may justly be proud.”
Charlotte Brown, Librarian— “My greatest appreciation and admiration go to the donors, architects and builders who have made possible the dream of a life-time, —a library adequate for our university. We have aimed high in hope and work and only time and experience can determine if our vision of the problems of administration for the present and for the future has been wise.”
Rockwell D. Hunt, dean of the Graduate School— “With the swinging wide of the great bronze doors of the splendid new Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial*library to student body and faculty of South-(Continued on Page Seven)

In a brief supplementary statement the president said it should “co/reet many misstatements of factb as to this incident with which the country has been flooded.”
Attorney General William D. Mitchell is the author of the official report of his department’s inquiry shows that the prompt use of troops in the evictions “prevented a calamity” and that the veterans who besieged the capitol were dominated by “disorderly and criminal elements.”
‘It is probable,’ ’the report says, “that the Bonus Army brought into the city of Washington the largest aggregation of criminals that had ever been assembled in the city at one time.”
The report listed their crimes as varying from forgery to “rape, sex offenses and narcotic and drug violations” and declared that 829 of the bonus veterans were exconvicts.

Utility as well as beauty has influenced the landscape architecture of the park surrounding the
Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library, as will be obvious when ! construction is completed.
The idea of an informal gathering place for students and the purpose of making the library as nearly within reach of classrooms as possible have been carried out notably ih two ways. Diagonal walks from the four corners lead direct to the library door, and the stone coping of the pool in the center of the park is practically designed as a comfortable bench.
A wide grass mall separate the park from the library, with a brick path down its center that extends the length of the block. The main walk runs from University avtnue to the library, directly in the center of the park. These and the diagonal walks are of brick.
There are low borders of myrtle along the street fronts and another of dark green viburnum fringing the main walk, both for the purpose of discouragisg short cuts. The other walks have no bordering hedges, however, and (Continued on Page Three)

Rare Books of Mrs. Doheny Shown in Treasure Room
Officials Tell How To See Memorial
By BOB RUSSELL
Through the courtesy of Mrs. Edward L Doheny the opening of the Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library will be distinguished by an exhibit of books selected from her private library and representing various periods of collecting from illuminated manuscripts of the 13th century to first editions of contemporary English and American authors, to be displayed in the beautiful new Treasure room during the week of the library’s opening. The exhibit, which is as fine as any known to have been shown aa a university in the west, was planned by Mrs. Doheny as an expression of her happiness in the completion of the magnificent memorial to her son.
Perhaps foremost amongst the famous items in the collection are pages from a Gutenberg bible, the
first book printed from movable type. Presenting to the students an opportunity to view such a treasure of history is generosity typical of the way in which Mrs. Doheny has contributed to The University of Southern California.
Such priceless volumes as the first edition folio of 1488 of Homer’s “Iliad” and Odyssey,” a first edition of Herodotus, and a beautiful copy of the "Nuremberg Chronicle” make the exhibit not only a literary evest but an unparalleled educational opportunity for the student body.
A matchless first edition of St. Augustine’s “City of God.” printed in Mainz in 473, and a first edition Holbein’s “Dance of Death,” regarded as one of the rarest books ever printed, are fine collector’s items and w-ill bring many biblio-(Continued on Page Six)
To give visitors to the new Doheny Memorial library a more complete and connected impression of the interesting features in *b# building, university officials suggest that all persons enter from the Alumni Memorial park through the forecourt into the main entrance.

From the main entrance, the visitor should walk upstairs to th# main hall or rotunda, turn right to the treasure room at the end of the hall, inspect the main reading room to the east, and then -etura through the main hall to the catalogue file room and the office of the librarian.
After taking the north stairs t# the second floor, the visitor should view the education reading room at his left and the graduate strdy at his right. Cubicles and sentnars line the hall leading south. At th# end of the hallway, to the rlgjrt, i» the special collections room, and to the left, the social science room.
The visitor Is asked to descend two flights by the south stairway to tbe ground floor, where he will find the art and lecture room on the right side and the reserve reading room on the left. He should then pass through the reading room to the cloister and patio. The club rooms are directly north of the patio. The visitor completes his tour by returning to the main entrance by way ot tfaft reserve delivery haH.
