Take Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Words to Watch,

Overheard on newScast: %.
angry union pickets hurting epitaphs
at the police" An epitaph is an
inscription on a tomb or grave. 1t
is from the Greek epi, upon" plus
taphos, "a tomb" The word the
newscaster should have used is epi-
thet, "a meaningful name" pro-
nounced: EP-i-thet. Note, however,
that the word epithet does not nee
essarily mean what is popularity
called dirty name" An epithet
may be and often is complimentary.
as In the title Alexander the Great
('the Great" is an epitheD.
Overheard on commentation:
%. the Republican can-uh-dit
for President" The word Candidate
will come to us over the radio thou-
sands of times from now until the
November election. The mispro-
nunciation -uh-dit," fear, will
be often heard. The first ID should
mot be omitted. Best usage sounds
long "a" (ay) in the third syllable,
thus: KAN-di-dayt.
Overheard on commentation:
whats the matter, Senator, are
you ascared?" "Ascared' Is chill
dren's word formed by combining
the "a of afraid with scared 1t
should not be used in speech or
writing.
Overheard on a book review pro-
gram: "She is a deyotee of TERP-
si-kaWr." The word used is the
name Terpsichore, in Greek my
thology the muse of dancing and
choral song. "Devotee of Terpsi-
chore" is a pretty sad cliche for
designating one who Is fond OF
dancing. But If it must be used.
Terpsichore should be pronounced:
terp-SICK-uh-ree.
~
A good many people say "vee-
HICK-ull' for the word vehicle.
The first, not the second, syllable
should be accented. And in best
usage the "h" is silent. Say: WEE
i-ku.
Watch the word liqueur. Not
LICK -er" nor "li-KYOOR." The
latter is a criticism. In best Amer
ican usage liqueur is somewhat like
the French pronunciation. Pro-
nounce it: H-KURR.
/ A well-known band leader and
radio emcee has for years said
MAY -zhoor" for measure. and
play -shoor" for pleasure. Veddy.
veddy upstage; also veddy. veddy
wrong. There is no sanction what
ever for such pronouncing fancy
work. Measure and pleasure, OF
course, should rhyme with treasure.
Say: MEzH-er; PLEZ H -er;
TREZH-er.

RETURN:
Truman

President Truman was back in
the White House after ~journeying
9,505 political milestone of them
on a ski-lift at Sun Valley-to bring
his story before U. S. voters.
That story was primarily his
bitter characterization of the pres
ent congress as wallowing in de-
lection.
AS a U. S. President going be-
fore the people to seek re-nomina-
ton by his own party, he summed
up his stand in a single, tough
phrase made during his speech at
Harrisburg, Pa. If the voters don't
make a change in congress this
November, he said in effect, they
"can stew in your w juice"
Whether or not the spectacle of
the President stamping the country
in search of popular support is
viewed as admirable or otherwise,
it certainly must be regarded as a
phenomenal pilgrimage in the annals
of American politics.
At first Haunting a "non-political'
banner, which he soon discarded,
MI. Truman travelled 1854 miles on
eight different railroads, 720 miles
by automobile, 225 miles by air,
Is miles across Puget sound by
yacht and one mile by ski-lift.
In that political hegira the Pres
ident brought the public up to date
on the background of what is prob
ably the most bitter feud beteween a
President and congress since the
days of Andrew johnson.
There is no doubt that the Presi-
dent, safely back at his desk in
Washington, was feeling that he
had accomplished pretty much what
he had set out to do: The arousing
of vo~ter-interest in the issues at
stake and the presentation of him
self to the people in the role of a
comradely but hard-hitting Presi-
dent who is the watchdog of their
welfare.

PALESTINE:
Mediation

Although the situation in Pales-
tine-the truce between warning
Arabs and Jews-has been over
Swallowed in the U. S. by the
clamorous news from the Republi-
can convention, Count Folke Ber-
nadotte's negotiations were continu-
ing-and so was the tension.
There were no indications, how
ever, that the United Nations media
tor was having any signal successes
in bringing Israel and the Arab
states together on terms.
AS the truce went into its second
week the U. S. assigned three de-
stroyers in the Mediterranean to
immediate duty with the Palestine
mediator to help supervise the ar
mistice.
The d~estroyers, American Off
Gals said, were not empowered to
use force of any kind in patrol
duties, nor would they be allowed
to stop or board any ships.
Meanwhile, to inject a further
atmosphere of law and order into
Palestine the first United Nations
'army" had been started on a shoe
string. Thirty permanent U. N.
guards from Lake Success were
flown east to help supervise the
truce, along with 20 other volun-
teers selected from U. N. secretariat
