NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The campaign for books to replenish devastated libraries in war areas, conducted here from October 21 to 26, has brought in over five tons of books and journals to Widener Library, Frank N. Jones, administrative assistant of the Library and head of the campaign, announced yesterday.

Contributions came from the student body, the faculty, and several departmental groups, which turned over, to the collection, stocks of publications still on hand.
