7 axe Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby
Words to Watch,

We sometimes see the phrase "un-
requited love" Unrequited. ''unre-
turned" Is book word that hardly
ever occurs in conversation. But I
have heard it pronounced "un-ree-
KWITT- ed" which is incorrect. The
81" in the third syllable should have
the long sound as heard in "by, my"
thus un-ree-KWY-ted.
1t is common error to pronounce
the first syllable of heroism like the
word hear But the first syllable
"e' should be fiat (eh) as in herald,
heron. Be sure to say HEH-roe-ism.
And heroine, of course, is HEH-roe-
in. AS for the word heroic, do not
copy G. Heaters mispronunciation
"HEH-roe-ik." Better accent the
second syllable and say hee-ROE-ik.
Incidentally, the drug heroin is not
related to the hero word family, 1t
is a German-coined trade name for
a derivative of morphine, which my
assistant, DR.. Etaoin Shrdlu, tells me
is known as diacetylmorphine hydro
chloride. Heroin is pronounced ex-
actly like the word heroine: HEH-
roe-in.
The second syllable Of lambaste
does not rhyme with fast, past"
This expressive but inelegant word
(the dictionaries call 1t "slang'O was
coined from lam, Ito beat soundly,"
plus baste, "to beat or thrash" Basic,
of course, rhymes with haste,
waste"
@. I could hardly believe my eyes
when I read in the column OF Amer
ica's leading social arbiter the word
"finicky." It's slang, isn't it?-Mrs.
S. S. l..
A. No. The word derives from
fine and it has three permissible
spellings % finical, pronounced
FIN-i-kl; (2) finicking, pronounced
FIN-i-king; go finicky, pronounced
FIN-i-kee. The last form prevails
in American usage. The dictionaries
give complete sanction to all three
in the meaning of "unduly dainty;
suueamish; too meticulous; fussy.",
There is nothing improper in the
word, however spelled.
Should one say AN historical, an heroic,
an hotel" or "a historical, a neroic; a
for the indefinite articles "a" and an
and disproves the myth that IAN histor-
iscal etc, is the correct form For :

Star. Ask for INDEFINITE ARTICLES

The w ashingto Merry Co., Round
By DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON-John L. Lewis seemed to have a premonition as to what the Supreme Court had in store for him. Shortly before the Courts decision, the big, beetle browed mine worker boss made a significant, rather plaintive talk be- fore a hush-hush dinner given to varius Senators and Congressmen by Kingman Brewster, Massachu- sets bluestocking tax lobbyist.
 Forgetting certain wellknown tactics by which he put rival un- ions out of business, and how he twice called a strike during the war, Lewis complained that the Government was oppressive, and urged his Senatorial hearers to get back to free enterprise
 Sen. Albert Hawkes. of New Jer- sey, former president of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce, made a brief reply, tartly reminding Lewis that it was up to labor leaders to help save the American free-enter- prise system.

THIEVES STEAL 800 LB.
 MOTOR BY HARD WAY

Tom Mix, of Ready-MiX Con- crete, has reported the theft of a gasoline auxiliary motor under strange circumstances from the Ready Mix plant on Glacier High way just outside of Juneau.
 The Wisconsin air-cooled motor, rated at from three to six horse power, was discovered missing from the top floor of the plant yesterday morning. Valued at S20O the motor had been bolted to the floor as a spare for conveyer belt.
 Some person or persons unknown apparently entered the plant, which it is impossible to complete ly lock up, with the intent and purpose of taking that particular piece of machinery. Nothing else was removed except the 800 pound motor, which is believed to have been carried down one flight of stairs and then lowered with block and tackle to the ground.
 Although the motor was insured, anyone who sees a motor match ing the description, or is offer ed the sale of such a motor, is asked by the Ready Mix to con- tact the Juneau City Police.

PEORIA, Ill, March ll.-LRl- George P. McNear, Jr., President of the Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad and central figure of a bloody dispute with railroad unions for more than five years. was shot to death last night while taking a walk near his home
 The 55-year old executive, who since 1941 had defied 13 railroad brotherhoods which currently are engaged in one of the nations longest major strikes against his line, was shot down by shotgun blast about 400 feet from his home in the fashionable Central Bluff residential district.
 Three witnesses said they saw an automobile speeding away after the shot was fired. However, police Lieut.. Frank F. Flood declared T don't see how McNear could have been shot from an automobile. '" IlC SdlO lWO OlllCl WltliCooto III d position to see the street down which the car would have sped did not see an automobile.
 No one could be found who saw the shot fired.
 Flood said McNear apparently walked across the street, about 100 feet, before he collapsed on his back On an 18-inch coping beside the sidewalk Flood said police found his walking cane on the op- posite side of the street and be- lieved he had been shot there. Dr. Robert Sutton, who resided nearby, and two Bradley University stu dents who reside with him, said they saw an automobile speeding away after they had heard the shot and several groans."

POPE SAYS NATIONS MUST GIVE UP SOME SOVEREIGN RIGHTS
World Copyright, 1947, By the
 Associated Pressl

VATICAN CITY, March 11.-R- On the eve of the eighth anni- versary of his coronation, Pope Plus XII told the Associated Press today that nations must surrender some Of their sovereign rights if a just and lasting peace is to be achieved
 The development of destructive atomic weapons, with the total war they threaten, should persuade the leaders of nations of their obliga- tion to reach agreements insuring peace, he said.
 In the last year-the first entire year of the Pope's reign in which there was no declared warfare there has been no marked improve ment in the worlds outlook for peace, he said.
 The Pontiff evidently was preoc- cupied over the prospects for the Moscow conference of Foreign Min isters, which opened yesterday He nodded assent to comment that the circumstances of the conferences beginning did not augur well for solid achievements in the shaping of peace

 T shouldn't think so,' Nimitz re- piled.
