The French Get Even.

For centuries. Britain and
America. without SO much as by
your-leave, have helped themselves
to tens Of thousands of French
words, most Of which have been
given Anglisized pronunciations, and
many of which have taken on en-
tirely un-French spellings and
meanings. Indeed, about one third
Of the modern English vocabulary is
corrupted French.
To lesser degree, the same
process has been going on in reverse.
We find numerous English words in
the French dictionaries, especially
words having to do with the sports.
The French use our word for foot
ball, but the Larousse dictionary
rhymes foot" with boot" Hockey

Years ago the word beefsteak was
taken into French as "biftek.' pro-
nounced "beef-TEK." The Ameri-

ically French pronunciation, "koo-
BWA." The "bull' of bull terrier is
rhymed with pool" and terrier is

Two Proposals Imperi|
Flood Control Bill
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
Two threats hung menacingly
over the House-approved flood con-
troll bill today and some Senate
hackers conceded glumly its chances
of passage by this Congress are
dwindling
The Senate begins its second week
of debate on the 81 600, ,000, 900 au-
thoriZation measure today with no
outward signs OF compromise be-
tween it's sponsors and advocates of
the ST. Lawrence Seaway and Mis-
souri, Valley Authority projects.
The actual submission of either
of these two proposals as amend
ments would, in the minds of the
bills hackers. probably kill the flood
control measure.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri,, already has made a veiled
threat to talk the legislation to
death if the seaway project is Of
fered by Senator Aiken, Republican,
of Vermont
Senator Overton, Democrat, OF
Louisiana. floor manager for the
bill. said Senator Murray, Democrat,
of Montana, was trying to kill the
flood control measure by proposing
action now on the Missouri Valley
Authority.
Senator Murray has said he is
determined to force a vote on his
proposal. contending that If the
down-river improvements provided
for in the pending bill are author
lied there would be little use talking
about an MVA in the future.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Full service

and the Chicago, Aurora and Elgin
Electric Railroads was resumed to-
day. thereby terminating a 17-day
strike which affected $1,000 COM
muters in North Shore and Western

Scheduled trains on both lines be-
gan running at am, in ample
time to meet the Monday morning

A settlement between represent
atives Of the railroad and officials
of the Brotherhood of Railroad
Trainmen and the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemeen and Engine
men was reached yesterday. Union
members. who had struck for a g.
cent hourly increase, agreed to ac-
cept a scent increase originally
proposed by a presidential panel of
the National Mediation Board.
Robert L. Glenn, railway labor
consultant to the War Labor Board,
who mediated the agreement in
Saturday night and Sunday sessions
with the Brotherhoods and railways

| More Definite Stand
On Palestine Question
Is Urged in Report
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
This country should adopt more
definite policy toward Palestine, the
American Council on Public Affairs
asserts, citing the acute Jewish
problem in Europe.
The statement was advanced by
the private organization in a study
prepared for it by Dr. Carl j. Fried
rich, professor OF government at
Harvard University, and released
yesterday.
1t came on the heels Of report
by the War Refugee Board, COM
posed of three cabinet officers, in
which eyewitnesses detailed some Of
the horrors Jews. as well as Chris
tians, have undergone in Nazi prison
camps, with death resulting in most
cases.
One of the specific points upon
which DR.. Friedrich thought this
country should take definite stand
is "the removal of present restric-
tions on the movement of people
into and out of Palestine"
The United States, he added, had
a substantial interest in Palestine
for the following reasons:
First, the growing acuteness OF
the Jewish problem in Europe; sec
ondly, the pressure which is bound
to be exerted on America to admit
large numbers of refugees, unless
they can be settled elsewhere;
thirdly, the fact that conditions in
the Near East are bound to remain
unsettled and source of future in
ternational rivalries and troubles
unless there are clear-cut decisions
and a firm policy with respect to
each of the Near Eastern countries,
backed by strong international ac-
ton"
Recognizing that such policy as
he outlines is contrary to that OF
the British government and may
encounter Arab opposition, DR..
Friedrich said
1T is more than likely that firm
American stand. If automatically
presented, would mobilize liberal
British opinion. In fact, sections
of the British public have appealed
to American sympathizers to help
them in their efforts to bring about
a change of policy"

House Group Backs
Move for Voice in
Treaty Ratification
q
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
| A House subcommittee today
unanimously approved proposed
constitutional amendment to break
up the Senate's traditional two
thirds vote control over treaties.
/ 1t sent to the House Judiciary
Committee a resolution which, If
adopted by Congress and approved
by three-fourths of the States, will
provide that future treaties be rati-
fed by simple majority vote in
both branches of Congress.
The House now has no voice in
international agreements.
Today's action was the first shove
on long and difficult path for the
treaty amendment. Even If ap-
proved by the House, it must get
through the Senate before it can
be submitted to the States.
Earlier today Senator, George of
Georgia, ranking Democratic men,
Der of the Foreign Relations Com
mittee, predicted the Senate would
stand firm against sharing its
treaty-making responsibilities.
Senator George estimated less
than half the members would vote
to submit the question to the States.
A two-thirds majority of both
Houses is necessary for submittal.
House members who are backing
the proposed change in the basic law
are counting on public opinion to
force the Senate to change its posi-
ton. They admit there is too little
time left in the present session to
put the plan across, but they're op-
timistic of their chances in the
Seventy ninth Congress which con-
venes January 8.
Senator George, whose reaction to
the proposed amendment appeared
typical Of large group of conserva-
tive Senators, told reporter:
Il do not believe that the Ameri-
can people. on sober second thought,
will consider that anything justifies
such a drastic change in our Gov
ernment Many drastic things might
be done with the approval of bare
majority-things that we might re-
gret later"
