the editors have no wish to titillate
their natural curiosity. However,
when a phenomenon such as strip
tease" comes along and finds its way
into dozens of reputable periodicals,
DIR. Bethel and his associates roll up
their sleeves and give it a frank,
precise definition. A strip tease, ac-
cording toSthe New Words Section,
is a burlesque act in which an
actress. usually at the end or as part
of song number. removes her

WoEld,s ChAznPioa Word
EVERY entry in New Words has
been studied. debated, investigated,
and sometimes even fought over.
That is. all except one. DR.. Bethel
admits that there is medical term
included that the editors might have
leaned over backwards little to in
clude. But it is an especially useful
word - useful to the editors, at
least.
The truth about the medical word
is this: For years Webster's has been
pestered with letters asking what the
longest word in the dictionary is.
Generally the writers are pretty
serious about it, because they want
to settle a bet.
Now, there has never been a sur
vey made to determine the longest
word. Some of the editors thought
that perhaps Observation-Disclosures
tatibus" was the longest. but no one
could be sure. So the whole staff was
pleased when, recently, monstrous-
ly long word popped up, meaning a
lung disease that miners are liable to
contract. Today it appears in the
New Words Section, dragging it's
tail through more than a whole
line of type. This word the editors
point out to all inquirers as indubi-
tably the longest in their dictionary.
In case you want to settle bet. here
it is: Observation-Disclosures

well-known Mae West" defined in
New Words as "a twin-tureted

Reader reaction is the main test
with the editors of Webster's. The
purpose of dictionary is to cram
as much salHo6Is information as pos
sible into a given space. For this
reason editors generally omit words
and phrases that are self-explana-
tory. Electric shaver" and milk
bar" are readily understood. and
must not take up vital space.

The New Germans

WASHINGTON, Dec. I2-(NEA)-Announcem from Cen. Joseph T. McNaFneys U. S. Army head quarters in Germany that We don't hate the Ger mans" any more, caught official Washington some- what by surprise. Neither the State nor the War Department knew this coming fast or in such definite form.
 Policy makers in both departments admit that General McNarney has full power to make such a decision for the troops in his command. But usually such things are cleared with Washington first.
 The way this change came through. General Mo- Narney announced he was putting the new policy into effect in Germany. And he said he was asking Washington to change the training, indoctrination and ortentaton courses given to new soldiers being sent to Germany This request has not been officially received as yet according to one War Department spokesman. But when 1t comes in there every likel hood that it will be approved.
 There is bound to be considerable criticism of this new ine particularly from the fellow travellers to be some months behind actual developments in Germany.
 As official put ft, We don't love the Germans indscriminately. And we're not through purgng the Nazs But wherever signs of real democracy stick up their lovely heads in Germany. we want to stoop down and give them pat of encouragement"
