stirrup is the surprise word of the
week.
First of all. no dictionary lists the
commonly heard "sturp." The word
must have two distinct syllables.
econdly, the pronuncia ton
"STUR-up," to rhyme with blur
up" is found in only five of eight
dictionaries consulted, and is listed
as second choice.
Thirdly, the preferred pronuncia-
ton of all authorities gives to the
first syllable of stirrup the short
'i' sound as in miracle, spirit, irri-
gate (mear-acle, spear-it, ear-ri-
gate), not the ''u" sound as heard
in sir, stir, whir (sur, stur, whur).
Therefore, best usage, in both
America and Great Britain, rhymes
stirrup with "clear up" as any ac-
cepted dictionary will affirm.
Note: In checking the pronuncia-
ton Of stiITup in your dictionary,
If you will make sure that you un-
derstand the diacritical mark that
is shown above the vowel al" you
will see that the findings of this
column are accurate.
Correct pronunciation:
First choice: STEAR-up.
Second choice: STUR-up.

 She writes under her maiden name, Judith Kelly. Her prize win ming novel, Marriage is a Private Affair" is her second published work. Her first, Tt Won't be Flow ers." came out in 1886.
 T remember how when began writing, I promised myself that I would efficiently stagger babies and books-one of kind on alter nate years" she said. "Six years have passed and there are only two children and two books. My hope is to do much, much better in the next six"
 Mrs. English's husband is a Bos- ton lawyer.

ENCIRCLED ARMY
 OF SOVIETS FREE

 It was disclosed today that Prz- emysl was taken by the 99th when 1t had been "encircled," and, in the German view, broken or annihilated
 Fifth Day of War
 That was on the fifth day of the war. Articles by divisional officers in today's Red Star, the army news paper, revealed that for 35 days, up to last Thursday, the 99th had been fighting the Germans day and night with the aid of guerrillas and had been in touch every hour with the Russian high command.
 It was asserted that the 99th had smashed at least six German regi- ments or something like 150 per cent of its own strength. It used the tactics regarded as standard against a blitzkrieg but which no army pre- viouSly had been able to use-de- fense in depth.
 Another article in Red Star said the Germans had not yet been able to divert a sufficient number of bombing planes from the front lines to make an effective raid on Mos COW.
 The author noted that the first raid was made a month ago, after it had first become apparent that the blitzkrieg had met effective re- sistance.
 Scout Planes
 Each time the Germans raid Mos COW, he said, they send out scout planes the day before to try to pho- tograph objectives. The German bombers, he asserted, so far have been mostly antiquated Junker-88 and Heinkel Ills with 8 ceiling of hardly more than 12,0OO feet. The planes fly as high as they can and try to sweep down through cloud gaps to unload their bombs. Russian night fighter planes are guarding most of these gaps. He said that in their first raids the Germans used veteran pilots but that those who come to Moscow now are only boys. He noted that the Germans tried to raid Moscow by day only once when not 8 single plane got through.

 The places had been open for 1s years or so-day and ndght-anc employees had to sleep there last night to guard the supplies. But nc gasoline was sold.
 The state governments budget wasn't threatened, but the expected drop in gasoline consumption may raise havoc with the motor vehicle department receipts and, hence force 8 drastic curtailment of high way-building.
 Connecticut charges three cents a gallon tax, and the loss of revenue annually was expected to reach $4,- 900 900. Since these taxes do not go into the general fund, no budgetary crisis was expected. A big dent however, was expected in the high way fund.

A.F.L. COMMENDED
 ON AIDING DEFENSE
Labor Body Waived Double Time Penalty on Cer=
 tain Defense Work

Boston, Aug. 4.-(UP)-Federal Wage-Hour Administrator Philip B. Fleming commended the American Federation of Labcr today for waiv- ing the double time penalty" for Saturday, Sunday and holiday work during the defense emergency.
 The principal of time-and- half for overtime work beyond 40 hours week, as required by the wage hour law, was defended by Fleming in an address before the annual con- vention of the Massachusetts Feder- ation of Labor.
 He said he long had believed that collective bargaining agreements that set higher standards than those established by law should be recon sidered at this time.
 Fleming said he learned with considerable satisfaction" of the new "no-strike" agreement entered into recently between the building and construction trade department of the AFL and five federal agen- cies including the Office of Produc- tion management.
 "This is in line with what the wage-hour law requires" said Elem ing, land the patriotic action of the AFL merits wide recognition and commendation."
 Fleming asserted that "severer penalties than the law requires, es- pecially for double time for Satur- day, Sunday and holiday work, con- tributed in the past to that weekend blackout which was a very real re- straint upon our productive ef- fortS."

ANOTHER SUSPECT
 HAD CLEAR ALIBI
Defense Worker Ques- toned for IS Hours in
 Death of Cochran Girl

Lynn, Mass, Aug. 4.-(UP)-1n- vetsigators announced today they had been unable to find a flaw In the alibi of 22-year-old Peabody defense worker questioned for IS hours in connection wit hthe sex staying of pretty Frances Cochran.
 Elimination of this latest of the scores of suspects came as the in- quiry entered its third week.
 Police said the Peabody youth was questioned because his name ap- peared in the diary of the 19-year- old bookkeeper, and because the lovers lane where her body was found is only a mile from the quar- " pit where he allegedly attacked a Saugus girl few days ago.
 The youths auto, and also an auto owned by his uncle, were seized but detectives scrutinized them in vain for clues.
 Police said the youth acknowl- edged that he was on Marianna street, Lynn, about 6:l5 on July II some 25 minutes after Miss Coch- ran, at Marianna and Chatham streets, entered the are-backed sedan which carried her to her death. He steadfastly denied all knowledge of the crime, however.

 TO WAR VETERANS
All Patriotic Citizens Are Included; Volunteer Ob-
 servers Needed

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 4.-(UP)-A statewide appeal was issued today by the Aircraft Warning Service Committee of the State Defense Council to all World War Veterans and patriotic citizens to register as volunteer observers with local ob- Servation post units.
 Colonel Samuel H. Fisher, State Defense Administrator, indicated that those who wish to serve con- tact their local defense councils or the American Legion Post in their vicinity.
 A detail of signal corps officers from the interceptor command, U. s. Air Force, will conduct a survey of the observation posts in Connec- ticut in the very near future, it was reported.
 The present plan calls for the es- tablishment of 166 observation post units, strategically located through out the state. The volunteer obser- vers will work on shifts of froHl two to four hours duration. It was pointed out that the larger the per- sonnel attached to each observation post, the fewer hours each individ- ual would have to work.

Soviet war communique reported today.
 The communique, broadcast by radio Moscow and heard by the United Press listening post here said there were no major engage ments elsewhere along the 1,800- mile front.
 Heaviest pressure appeared to be on the southern front, where the Germans were making a strong ef- fort to capture Kiev. The northern army of the pincer had reached Korosten, 90 miles west-northwest of Kiev, and the southern had been driven to Belaya Tserkov, 50 miles south-southwest
 The days second communique in- dicated, however, that the Red army was containing the German offensive for it reported no change from positions given in the first communique.
 Hit Heavy Blows
 The Red air force, in cooperation with Russian land forces, was said to have dealt heavy blows to Ger man mechanized, motorized and in- fantry units.
 The communique described bat tie between Russian and German mechanical and motorized units in the northwest sector of the front. near the town of "K," where more than 1000 Germans were claimed killed and 100 Nazi tanks and ar- mored cars and 100 lorries were re- ported destroyed.
 The Germans smashed against Russian Notifications five times, the communique said. After the Ger man tanks had used up most of their fuel, the Russians counter-at- tackled and ef1rce battle took place in which 300 tanks and armored cars on each side participated, it was said.
 The tank units commanded by Captain Semelnikov alone were credited with having destroyed 30 German tanks, 12 mortatrs and two batteries of heavy guns and killed 100 Nazi soldiers.
 Germany Bombed Again
 London, Aug. 4-(UP)- British planes heavily attacked western Germany during the night an d made one of their biggest raids on the French invasion coast after e Sunday morning raid on Berlin which was said to mark the be- ginning of grim winter for the Nazi capital.
 The nights raids on Germany, carried out despite bad weather, centered on Hanover and Frank furt-Am-Main. Industries and com- munications were attacked. Other plane formations attacked docks at Calais. One plane was lost in all operations, the Air Ministry said.

 There was no official enforcement of the curfew. Police pointed out after it had been requested on a voluntary basis and there was no law requiring it.
 GaSIeSs Sundays Coming
 Boston, Aug. { -(UP)- "Gasless Sundays" probably will be necessary after Labor Day to further conserve gasoline in New England, General Manager William A. Thibodeau of the Automobile Legal association said today.
 He said that the first night "blackout" of filling stations in New England could not be considered 8 fair test. Many of New England's 30,000 gasoline dealers had reported that their sales volume increased heavily during the hours preceding the curfew under the conservation program.
 we feel that motorists will get down to brass tacks in another couple of days and cooperate in the conservation program" said Thibo- deau. Tt probably will be necessary to proclaim gasless Sundays after Labor day. This would be much more sensible than rationing and we ought to try it."
 Thibodeau said the vacation sea- son in New England had only four more weeks to run and after that there would be a decided drop in gasoline consumption.
 If rationing comes, added Thibo- deau, it must be delayed until after Labor day for an earlier declaration of such extreme measures would af- feet disastrousiy the hotels, inns, overnight cabin operators and others dependent upon the tourists for their livelihood"

 The general level of prices re- ceived by farmers will average near ly 20 per cent higher than last, the bureau of agricultural economics predicted.
 Income from farm marketing during the first half of this year totaled s4.005, 900 900. up SB0l ,O00. 900 over the same period last year." the BAE said. Gains in income from livestock and livestock products acc counted for all but e20O00,000 of the increase"

 Turn For Worse
 The ship suspension order marked a fresh turn for the worse in Japa- eSe-American relations.
 The decision came as the news papers, whose anti-American articles had been heavily censored for a time last week, took an increasingly pessimistic view of Japanese -Ameri- can relations, and empraSized al- legged British, American and Chinese attempts not only to 'encircle' Jauan but to bring Russia into the encirclement camp"
 Nichi Nichi said in a Saigon dis patch that the Japanese navy in- tended to fortify the great French Indo-C China naval base of Cam Ranh ''aS a base of operations a. gainst American, British and Ccin- csc encirclement."
 The newspaper were inclined now to the view, as Asahi put it.. that there was no room left for read justment of Approximation rela- tions.
 Russians, Japs Fighting
 Shanghai, Aug. @(UP)-Persist- ent uncon1irned reports circulated today that Japanese and Russian forces engaged in large scale fight ing along the Anur river frontier of Manchukuo and Siberia during the weekend and that the Japenese suffered 1900 casualties.
 Foreign military intelligence off, cers heard the reports but had not been able this afternoon to confirm them.
 It had been known that Japan was heavily reinforcing It's army alene the Amur river, and the reports oi fighting caused no surprose because e series of scouting operations by both sides. which might lead to clashes, had been regarded as like- ly

Continued from Page D a step. Meetings of Fusion and Republican leaders were to be held in New York today. :.
 Another Dewey assistant, Paul F. Lockwood, had been mentioned prominently as a candidate for the Republican nomination for district attorney. However, reliable sources in the New York political arena to- day discounted his candidacy and expressed the belief that the G. O. P. would give its endorsement to Attorney Hogan.
 Major Political Coup
 Tammany's surprise designation of a Dewey assistant as its choice for district attorney is considered major political coup. Attorney Hogan, though registered Demo- crat. has taken no part in politics in years. The political grapevine says that he broke with Tammany after 8 row with Hines, whom he later helped convict.
 MT. Hogan issued the following statement in accepting the Demo- cratic nominations:
 T have given serious thought to the designation offered to me by the executive committee of the Democratic party for the office of district attorney in this county and have discussed 1t at length with MT. Dewey. I have decided to accept it. MT. Dewey has giv- en his complete consent and ap- proval to my acceptance"
 New York Confirms It
 New York, Aug. 4-(UP)-T The political situation in the nations largest city took another strange turn today.
 Tammany Democrats surprised their opponents last week by des- ignating Prank s. Hogan, an assist ant to Republican District Attorney Thomas E. Dewey of New York county, as their candidate to suc- ceed Dewey, who will not seek re- election.
 Stunned Republicans. Fusionists. American Laborites and others con- sidered the situation over the week end. Today 1t looked as though Hogan would be endorsed by the Republicans, Fasionists and American Laborites.
 It was learned that Mayor r. H. LaOuardia, who busted Tammany from City Hall when Dewey busted 1t from the district attorneys of- flee, with the aid of e fusion" of Democrats and Republicans. would support Hogan.
 Hogan promised to retain Dew ey's staff and keep the office free from politics"
