NEW EXHIBIT MARKS 150TH YEAR OF BRAZILIAN INDEPENDENCE An exhibit commemorating the 150th anniversary of Brazilian independence is on display in the His- panic Society Room of the Latin American, Portu- guese, and Spanish Division. Brazilian independence from Portugal came about in a gradual and peaceful series of events, beginning with the establishment of the Portuguese Court in Rio de Janeiro in 1808. The day officially celebrated as Independence Day is September 7, the date in 1822 that the Prince D.

The example of United States independence had a powerful effect upon dissident colonists in Brazil. As early as the 1780's, when Thomas Jefferson was U.S. Minister to France, he was approached by a young Brazilian studying at the University of Montpelier who asked for aid in a movement to free Brazil from Portugal. A copy of one of his letters found in the Library's Jefferson Papers, written in French and signed with a pseudonym, is among the items in the exhibit. In the letter, Jos6 Joaquim da Maia, stated "I am a Brazilian." and pointed out that Brazil and the United States had much in common. A "Geographi- cal, Statistical, and Historical Map of Brazil," printed by Carey and Lea of Philadelphia in 1822, shows 12 provinces or capitanias, which today fill out most of Brazil's boundaries, but in more numerous jurisdic- tions. Jean Baptiste Debret's Voyage Pittoresque et His- torique au Bresil Depuis 1816 Jusqu'en 1831 is opened to a large drawing of D. Pedro I's acclamation as Emperor, an event that took place on the Prince's 24th birthday, October 12, 1822. The pictures taken * ,; o S'* F.. ;- 0 CONTENTS CONTENTS ~ from this rare set appear m nearly every illustrated work on 19th-century Brazil. A recently issued mono- graph. Os Dois Ingleses, Strangford e Stuart, written by the late Brazilian historian Alberto Rangel and published jointly by the Conselho Federal de Cultura and the Arquivo Nacional of Brazil appears in the exhibit. It is one of a group of commemorative gov- ernment publications that are currently being issued in Brazil. Some of the Library's primary sources for the study of the period are exhibited. The journals and accounts of Henry Koster, who was for several years a resident of Brazil's Northeast, and of Maria Graham, later Lady Callcott, contain interesting sketches of scenery and people along with descriptive commen- tary on Brazil and the Brazilians of the years immedi- ately before or during the most important events of the independence movement. The work of the German scientists Johann Baptist von Spix and Carl Friedrich von Martius is represented by a facsimile reprint of scenes of life in various regions of Brazil. Prominent leaders of the independence movement are pictured in the exhibit. They include Jose Boni- facio de Andrada e Silva, the leading political thinker and strategist in securing independence under a mon- archy; the King. D. Joao VI, who increased the stat- ure of Brazil within the Portuguese Empire: and his son, D. Pedro 1, under whose personal aegis Brazil began its independent existence. The comment of one U.S. observer is shown in Henry Marie Brackenridge's observations on the future of Brazil, made after witnessing the ceremonies that raised Brazil to the status of a kingdom in 1817. Comments of a few years later that appeared in Niles' Weekly Register and in newspaper columns are also included. Notice of the formal recognition of Brazil is shown by a newspaper account in which Secretary of State John Quincy Adams presented Jose Silvestre Rebello, Charge d'Affaires of the new nation, to Pres- ident Monroe. who received him in this official capac- ity. This formal ceremony occurred on May 26, 1824, and marked the beginning of formal diplomatic rela- tions between the United States and Brazil. The exhibit will remain on view through Novem- ber I. Room numbers for the Preservation Research and Testing Office were incorrectly listed in Pres- ervation Supplement 72-3 of September 15. They are Rooms G1010 and G1012 of the Annex Building. SSeptember 22, 1972 STAFF NEWS Webb Cited for Wood Carvings Willard Webb, a former LC employee, was the sub- ject of an article in the September 9 issue of the Fairfax Globe. Mr. Webb was cited for his accom- plishments in wood carving. Pictures of his work accompany the article. A Library of Congress staff member for over 39 years, Mr. Webb held the position of Chief of the Stack and Reader Division at the time of retirement in October 1961. AWARDS On Friday, September 1, Leon W. Seidner, Person- nel Operations Officer, was presented a 30-year Federal Service Award pin, and Mrs. Marjorie R. Kulisheck, Position Classification Appeals Officer, received a 20-year Federal Service Award pin. F. E. Croxton, Director of the Administrative Department, made the presentations. A native of Trenton, N.J., Mr. Seidner began his Library career 25 years ago as a Personnel Assistant. Before coming to the Library he served with the U.S. Army as a Personnel Sergeant Major. Mr. Seidner is probably the most widely seen Library officer in the organization as he does a superb job of advising the Library staff about the many personnel policies and procedures. A native of Atlanta, Ga., Mrs. Kulisheck began her career at the Library of Congress in August 1957 as a Position Classifier, before which she was employed by the Veterans Administration in Seattle, Wash. During her tenure at the Library, Mrs. Kulisheck has held several positions in the classification field. She was Assistant Classification Officer until the merger of the Placement and Classification Offices a few months ago. Following the presentations, the Personnel Office honored both Mrs. Kulisheck and Mr. Seidner with coffee and cake. S. Aleem Qureishi, the first employee of the Li- brary of Congress Office in Karachi, Pakistan, re- ceived a 10-year Federal Service Award pin and certificate from Hobart N. Luppi, U.S. Consul Gener- al, at a ceremony held in July at the American Con- sulate in Karachi. Others from the office receiving 10-year Federal Service Awards were R. M. Siddiqui, A. Q. Meera, Mirza Gul, and N. Massey. Ashiq Husain was the recipient of the safe-driving award for the sixth consecutive year. STAFF ACTIVITIES Andrew V. Fessenko of the Slavic and Central European Division is the author of "The Ukrainian Renaissance of the 1920's in Bibliology and its Rever- berations" in Vol. 2, 1972, Nos. 1 and 2 of Ukrains'ka knyha (Philadelphia).

Joseph C. Hickerson, Reference Librarian in the Archive of Folk Song, was a member of the staff of the Pinewoods Camp Folk Music Week, a course for leaders and teachers of folk music held August 20-27. The camp is located between Buzzard's Bay and Plymouth, Mass., and is sponsored by the Country Dance and Song Society of America. On September 1 and 2, Mr. Hickerson participated in the Cape Island Festival of Folk Music and Crafts in Cape May, N.J., and on September 4 performed in the Second Annual Labor Day Songfest held at the Sylvan Theatre in Washington.

ANNOUNCEMENTS Influenza Immunization Program For the convenience and protection of the staff, an influenza immunization program will be conducted in the Library on September 26 and November 15. The lime and place for vaccination will be announced later. There will be no charge for the vaccination. The Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recommends that the vaccine be given on a selective basis to persons over 45 years of age and persons of all ages who have chronic debili- tating conditions such as rheumatic heart disease, arteriosclerotic heart disease, high blood pressure, chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (asthma, bronchi- tis, emphysema), diabetes mellitus or Addison's disease. The vaccine is not presently recommended for healthy adults and children, and should not be administered to persons allergic to eggs. Dr. James R. Snyder, the Library's Medical Advisor. recommends that persons with chronic health problems receive permission of their private physician to have the vaccine. Persons who received the vaccine containing Hong Kong strain antigen in the 1968-69 or subsequent sea- sons require only a single booster of bivalent vaccine. Those receiving the vaccine for the first time require two injections administered six to eight weeks apart Inquiries concerning the program should be di- rected to the Supervisor of Health Services, ext. 6053. Brenda A. Morgan and Larry Addison were married on Saturday, August 19, at the First Greater Baptist Church in Washington D.C. Mrs. Addison is an Edito- rial Typist in the Catalog Publication Division and Mr. Addison is employed i private industry.

CIP PROGRESS REPORT Librarians perusing recent publishers' catalogs will notice a new element of information of particular interest to them. Several publishers participating in the Cataloging in Publication Program are now adver- tising the fact in their sales catalogs, newsletters, and other promotional publications. Random House, Alfred O. Knopf, and Pantheon indicate CIP titles in their periodic trade catalogs by adding the letters CIP to the price, collation, ISBN, and LC Card Number in the annotation for an individual title. Dial and Dela- corte announce at the beginning of their catalogs that "All of our books carry Library of Congress Catalog- ing in Publication Data." When a publishing house agrees to participate in the CIP program, all galleys and/or front matter for future titles are sent to the CIP office for cataloging by the various divisions of the Processing Depart- ment. Some titles which were in production before a house joined CIP will not, of course, include CIP 41 S September 22, 1972 data. Many houses in such a transitional stage desig- nate CIP titles with an asterisk or other identifying symbol. The longevity of a publisher's participation in CIP can almost be determined by the phrase used to inform his library public. One publisher, for in- stance, states in its catalogs that the majority of its books will contain CIP data on the copyright page. In the Wiley-Interscience Librarian's Newsletter, John Wiley & Sons adds the letters CIP to its tear-out order cards, which also contain pertinent descriptive information along with a brief annotation, ISBN, and LC Card Number. Other publishers' catalogs adver- tising CIP annotations include Syracuse University Press, J. B. Lippincott Co.. John Knox Press, McGraw-Hill, Inc., AMS Press, Arno Press, Books for Libraries, Stackpole Books, Folcroft Library Edi- tions, and Watson-Guptill Publications. AMBASSADORS VISIT LIBRARY Latin American and Iberian scholars joined Library officials at a luncheon August 17 given by the Librari- an of Congress in honor of U.S. Ambassador to Argentina John Davis Lodge. Ambassador Lodge, who has had a long and distinguished career in public life, is no stranger to Washington or the Library of Congress. Born, as he told the luncheon guests, in what is now the 1925 F Street Club, he became well acquainted with the Library and its services during Ambassador Muniz, the Librarian, Ambassador Lodge two terms in Congress, 1946-50, when he represented the 4th District of Connecticut. The collections of the Latin American, Portuguese, and Spanish Division have claimed his interest since his appointment in 1955 as Ambassador to Spain, where he served until 1961. In recognition of his service in that country, he was awarded the Grand Cross of the Noble Order of Charles III and the Gold Medal of Madrid. Since July 1969 he has represented the United States in Argen- tina. The Ambassador of Argentina to the United States, Carlos Manuel Mufiiz, and several officials of the Embassy also attended the luncheon. Ambassador Mufiiz, a diplomat, educator, writer, and lawyer, has served in his country's cabinet, as Ambassador to Brazil and Bolivia, and as Foreign Minister of the Argentine Republic.
