The Districts two latest traffic
deaths have been ruled accidental by
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald.
Horace Fransco, colored, 49, of
20l3 Third street NV, died in Cas-
ualty Hospital yesterday. His spine
was broken Monday when the lid of
the automobile luggage compart-
ment in which he was riding, fell on
him.
The accident occurred, police re-
ported, when Mr.. Fransco asked for
lift from where he worked at Ben
ming and Hillside roads Sc in the
car operated by Dominick Panzone,
jr., of 207 Peabody street NE. Mr..
Panzone's father was with him and
the only place for the third man to
ride was in the luggage compart-
ment. The lid apparently dropped
on bumpy section of the road a
short distance from the starting
point.
The other accidental ruling was
made in the death Tuesday of
Charles Bell. colored, 3, of 9151a

year. The boy playing in the street
near Second and I streets S.W., was
crushed under the wheel of truck,

ton showed he could not have been

|4-biIIion Bond Issue,
Biggest U. 5. OFFERING
OF War, Goes on Sale
Treasury Puts Up z Types
Of Securities; Debt Now
Over $4,000, 900, 900

By the Associated Press.
The Treasury was ready to offer
for sale today $4,000, ,0O0,O00 of secur-
tiles, comprising the, largest single
borrowing operation of the present
war.
The borrowing, which will raise
Treasury debt above 5000, 900 900
will give investors a choice of two
different types of securities.
They WI be invited to buy either
2 per cat, 8-10-year bonds or IL
per cent, 4-year and 2-month
Treasury notes. Departing from
usual practice, the Treasury assigned
no quota to either type of issue and
announced that the $4,000, 900 900
would be divided between the two
issues in proportion to the preference
shown by investors.
Another New Wrinkle.
The financing contained another
new wrinkle designed to further the
Governments policy TO borrowing as
much money as possible from all
other types of investors before bor-
rowing from banks.
Some economists contend that
bank borrowing has inf1ationary pos
sibilities. The new provision is that
subscriptions of all other types of
investors, except banks, will be filled

all. Instead he designated their sub
sounds in Chinese by K, T, P, and CHI,
respectfully.
Thus Kan in Chinese is pronounced
Calm; TT is pronounced Dee; PU is
pronounced Boo (we're coming to the
vowels shortly, take it easy and Chi
is pronounced, believe it or not, Jee.
What, you ask, will become Of the
consonants in Chinese which sound
like K, T, P, and CHI?
Well, these sounds are softer in Chi
nese and are more strongly aspirated
nical terms around so Sir Thomas
fixed them up with apostrophes.
Thus, Kan In Chinese is pronounced
Kahn; TT is pronounced Tee; PU is
pronounced Poo, and Chi Is pronounced
Chez.
That apostrophe is important. Un-
fortunately 1t is nuisance to typeset-
tiers. who frequently omit it.
Let us now turn, temporarily, to the
vowels
Italian values are given to A, l. and U.
Therefore A is not the long or short A
of English, but becomes All. Wang, for
instance, never rhymes with Bang or
Clang. It's Wahng, and your friend Mr.
Wang will be eternally appreciative if
you get it right-that is, if he doesn't
die of surprise. And Mr.. Chang pro-
nounces his name Jahng. Remember
that business about CHIP

and Lung. the word for Dragon, never
rhymes with Bung (as in barreD but

q nutshell:
A sounds like All; Wang king IS
pronounced Wahng.

Wide World News.

When the guns are spiked, the banners
furled and the bombers are quiet again,
there still will be thrilling tale to tell of
the courage and high adventures of the
men who are writing the history of the
war in the news.
It's a crazy, incredible pattern in the
scarlet fabric of a world at war, follow
ing the blitzkrieg across Europe through
the Balkans, over the frozen wastes of
Soviet Russia, the parched sands Of
Libya and into the Pacific.
For two years the war correspondents
the heels of the marching armies, or else
have been just one jump ahead fighting
a day and night battle to get the news
to the United States.
They've lived out of suitcases and ruck-
sacks for weeks at time while skipping
from one strategic point to another in an
rxhausting nerve-racking race with time
and censors.
But they came through with the news
from the bomb-battered capitals and
shel-pocked villages despite some fan
tastic brushes with death along the way.
Two were wounded and narrowly escaped
the tragedy of Edward J. Neil, the A. P.
correspondent who was killed in the
Spanish Civil War.
The conflict caught up with others
finally when the Axis powers declared
war on the United States, and now they
are fretting in Berlin, Rome, Shanghai
and Toxic waiting for release through
an exchange of nationals among the
belligerent nations.
But on the Allied side, their fight still
goes on. The cables and wireless mes
sages filed from the battle zones add
new chapters to the story which already
has become the unfinished saga of jour-
nalism.
Most of the war correspondents for the
A. P. are smalltown boys from places like
Chickasaw, Okla; Selma, Ala: Mount
Savage, Md, or Mineola Tex, although
some come from large cities.
Probably none of them ever dreamed
that one day he would be sitting on the
rim of a man-made hell watching an epic
SuIuRRle UtlWetll lllc WOl ~ lillllldly
giants.
Sometimes the vantage point is the
deck Of mighty battleship blasting an
enemy harbor or fighting off swarms of
enemy bombers Sometimes it's sandy
knoll overlooking a raging battle OF
stanks. 1t might be from London roof
top as the incendiaries and explosives
rain down or on the icy plains of Russia
strewn with the wreckage of the re-
treating Nazi armies.
But wherever they might be. they're
watching the greatest story of their
lifetime unfold in an eruption of death
and destruction on scale of unbeliev-
able proportions.

NEW YORK, Jan. 3-Never tell this
10 the admiral, but here's what happened
the other day:
Two sailors went into SO Park ave-
nue., headquarters for the New York
City Defense Recreation Committee,
Juggling three weighty objects-two big
buckets and a good-sized market bas-
ket. which they carried between them.
One of them addressed the girl at
the information desk:
will you please invite all the host
esses on duty today to come into the
clubroom in 10 minutes? Come yourself
and don't forget to ask Betty
The hostesses went along and found
q tasty feast spread out on table-a
beautiful roast beef, a huge mound OF
potato salad, a gallon of coffee, pickles,
bread and whatnot, with paper plates,
cups, forks and spoons to match.
Hostess Betty said, "It's wonderful,
bows, but not in the rule book. Don't
you know we're supposed to entertain
you?"
One sailor-lets call him Jake, so the
admiral won't find out his real name
placed his hand on his heart and
Grated:
Betty the last time we were here on

tickets. You danced with us and found
us a room in a good hotel at price
we could pay. You listened to us talk.
We thought you looked pale from do
ing so much for us.
so this one is on us. Eat hearty.
Roast beef will put roses in your
cheeks"
The girls ate heartily and never asked
the question that hung in the air:
"Where did all this food come from,
Sc eilors pay being what it is?'
The next night and the next the
sailors repeated their offering, with
more and even better food.
On the last night of leave Jake con-
fessed-he was a chef, with easy access
to Navy food supplies. He and his
shipmates had formed sort of bucket
brigade, passing bundles and buckets
Of food from hand to hand until they
got it safely smuggled from ship to
