notation of 'tough''- or "hard boiled" A few years after, says our informant, it had undergone a com- plete semantic reversal and was being used as a term of high approval. Thus the mid-192O's when the general was a patient at an Army hospital, he was astonished to hear a nurse speak in terms of ob- vious admiration of one of the doctors as "a real c. T."
 Concerning "Joe", as a term of address or designa- tion, the general said it was never Army usage during his term of active service. He thought, however, that it might afterward come into use as a natural corOl- lary or counterpart of "Jane", a generic word for Army women. The tradi- tional soldiers vocative, "Comrade", was still al-

 Representative Ed An derson introduced the bill on a basis of American principle.

NOME?

We receive frequent re- quests on information as to how Nome got it's name. A recent edition of the Alaska Weekly carries an item by an engineer to the effect that when he was charting and mapping this country after the discovery of gold, he noticed that a certain cape had no name so he put the inscription on that spot with the word name" intending that it be given a name later. However, it was misread and the point became Cape 1NOIIle..
 There is another version which also seems likely, and that is that when the first White people landed here they asked the Natives what place it was and they answered "Kanomie' meaning, I don't know or 1 don't understand.
 If anyone knows of an- other answer, we'd be glad to publish it.

of standard issue equip ment. By a certain associa-- ton of ideas it became a term of opprobrium among enlisted men in the old professional Army, a fight ing epithet, in fact. Thus the general says he cannot help a feeling of shock when he hears the term used nowadays in polite society or sees it in print in decorous journals. He is even more shocked when he hears soldiers apply it to themselves or to others. He recalled a time nearly 35 years ago when he sat on a military court which was trying a soldier accused of an assault on another sol- dier, and the assailant's defense was that his victim had called him a "G. l."
 What seems to have hap pened is that in 1917 and afterward the new soldiers absorbed some of the vo- cabulary of the Regular Army without absorbing the connotations. Thus some of the terms under went a very rapid modifi- cation of meaning. In France, in 1917-18, the term e.

GENESIS OF "G. l."


 Since the publication of our editorial on this sub- ject recently, various per sons, including a retired general officer whose fam fly has been connected with the Army for several generations and whose tes- timony on the point may be taken as conclusive, have been setting us right as to the correct etymology of "G. l." It appears that e. l." does not mean. as we had assumed, and as is now very widely believed even in the Army itself, Government Issue," but Galvanized Iron," and was applied to only one article

The commission win acquire hold

which control Mitsui, Mitsubishi,

Macarthur has not decided the size
or personnel Of the commission.
Other sources said no policy re-
garding possible prosecution of
Zaibatsu officials on war criminal
charges has been received from
Washington and no action is planned
at present. There has been some
agitation, even among japanese, for
Gen. Macarthur to try leading Zai-

demanded confiscation of wartime
profits and broader action to break

Asahi urged dissolution Of "all

sisted that no Zaibatsu personnel
should be permitted to reorganize
