MOST of the problems the Library faces are straightforward: space of course is one: staff for the care and cataloguing of the collections is another: and the acquisition of new books is a third. Every institution, however, has similar problems. The Houghton-with an annual budget of about $750.000-is in a good position today because of its tremendous accumulation under the leadership of Jackson and Hofer over the past 25 years...

They are: 1) a balanced budget by Jan. 1, 1970, 2) an "equilibrium" between consumption and production by April 1, and 3) an end to France's foreign-trade deficit by July...

McCracken, chairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers, admitted that a full year of tight money might be needed to slow price inflation.
