Tongue Expert Finds
Ldndon Use of Word
'Cockeyed' Is Correct

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.S)
DR.. Frank H. Vizetelly, noted lexi.
cographer, said today that the
word "cockeyed," used by Gov.
ernor Alfred M. Landon, in his
speech at Buffalo last night, was
derived from the Gaelic and had
been in the English language for
more than 100 years.
The c.. o. P. candidate used the
word to describe the tax on undis-
tributed corporate earnings.
DR.. Vizetelly said it came origi-
nally from the Gaelic "caogshull'
and "caogShuileach," meaning lop-
sided or Squinteyed.
The first known use of the word
in English literature, DR.. Vizetelly
added, was when Byron used it in
1921.

GE0GHAN FREE
IN BRIBERY

ALBANY, N. Y, Aug. %.
GN.SD.-District Attorney Viii,
liam F.. K. Geoghan of Brooklyn
scored a smashing victory at his
removal proceedings before Gov
ernor Lehman today when he
was exonerated of any compli-
city in attempts to bribe the
original grand jury in the noto-
rious Druckman murder.
Both the governor and Special
Prosecutor Hiram C. Todd cleared
Geoghan of any part in the jury
tampering, although the proSecu-
tion insisted brobery attempts
would have been thwarted had
Geoghan pushed the case before
the grand jury. Todd said:
"NO completely in the cor
ruptiOn is charged to the dis
trict attorney, but it is charged
that hS failure to carry the case
through speedily made it pos
Sible for other persons to ap-
prOach them"
The bribery issue was raised
when Todd read into the record
testimony before the special
grand jury by Carmine Anzalone,
confessing an attempt to bribe
one of the jurors to vote against
indicting three suspects.
Anzalone was a States witness
at trials growing out of the
bribery in which three persons
were convicted.

 Therefore, declarer should not try to make his king of hearts, but he should use it to good advantage by playing 1t, and West is forced to win the trick with the ace. This prevents East from getting into the lead.
 Now, regardless of what West rec turns, declarer can make his con- tract. If West returns 6 heart, this can be trumped in dummy with small spade and the nine or spades returned. If East plays low, the nine is allowed to ride and an- other spade is played. When East's king drops. declarer wins the trick with the ace, and all he has to lose is the ace of clubs.
 By using c losing trick to good advantage, declarer makes his con- tract.
