They calculate the worth of this irreplaceable treasure trove of information in the millions. , To the average man-in-the-street they would be just a collection of musty tomes. Their fate is uncertain Scholars in Rome are fighting to them for the International Fraternity of Scientists. whose quest for knowledge and progress transcends national feelings and racial hatreds. Before the war ihe Germans maintained libraries in Italy under an agreement with the Italian government by which thev were never to leave Italy. Three were in Rome and one in Florence.
