syllable, as -shun." Also,
AVIATOR has no sanction as "AV-

have long been regarded as dialectal
but 1t Is surprising how frequently
they are heard among people of good
education, including some aviators
themselves. Both as" must have

The word ATTACK does not end
with a st." The common mispro-
nunciation "uh-TAKT" is probably
influenced by false association with
such words as attract detract, con-
tract" Be sure to say: uh-TAK.
The past tense, ATTACKED, like
wise is not spelled with "t," and is a
word Of two syllables only, thus: uh-
TAXI.

being called 'KAHR bin" or

Jeffer|'sonian Ideals
May Be Challenged,
Ruhedge Predicts
Says Postwqr Society
Must Preserve Dignity
Of the individual
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb. 27-A tightly
knit postwar world will challenge a
new generation to maintain the
Jeffersonian ideal OF individual dig
nifty and independence, Supreme
Court Justice Wiley B. Rutledge de-
clared last night.
The newly appointed justice, a
former dean Of the University OF
Iowa Law School, spoke at a testi-
monial dinner in his honor, given
by the New York Alumni Associa-
ton of the university.
Justice Rutledge, who eXtolled
Iowa as having come close to achiev-
ing the Jeffersonian ideal of politi-
cal democracy, and as leading all
other States in percentage of liter
acy, said the State is a "Jeffersonian
community in what is becoming
more and more a non-Jeffersonian
world"
Whether we like it or not" JUS
tice Rutledge declared, "the world
OF the future will be more tightly
Knit. Whatever we may prefer, it
will be one, I think, in which men
come together more and more in
groups for performance of their sig
nlficant activities and expression of
their interests.
This means we must find a wav
to work out, in society so knit and
bound together, Jefferson's basic
ideal of the dignity, individua lity
and independence of each citizen
Such a challenge is worthy of the
best OF our youth, who are fighting
for the chance to accept it. The
men who return to Iowa from Aus
tralia, from Ireland, from Africa
from the four corners of the earth
will know their task and perform
it, the JUSTICE concluded.
Capt. James L. McCrae, COM
mandlng officer of the battleship
Iowa and former naval aide to Pres
ident Roosevelt, who was with the
President in North Africa, declared
that we must all have faith in our
leaders, and that's that
L have, he told the dinner guests

we can trust those leaders"
