My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Words tn Watch.

Overheard on q political comme1l-
tation: ." hoping to carry out the
New Deal policies Of his PREE-duh-
SESS-er." The word predecessor,
zone who has preceded another in
office or position" was used correct
ly. The first syllable "pree" Is .
criticism that Is not good American
usage. Better say: PRED-uh-
SESS-er, the first syllable rhynling
with bred, Fred"
Overheard on garden club pro-,
gram: rows and rows of lovely
ver-BEAN.yuzz." This common mis-
pronunciation Of the flower name
verbena is the result, I think, Of
seeing" the spelling as "ver-be-
MIA" since scores of familiar flower
names do end in la. But yerbena
ends in "a, not in la. The correct
pronunciation is: ver-BEE-nuh.
Washington: If bureau Is pro-
nounced BEW-roe, why is bureau-
cracy not bew-ROE-cracy?-H
A. M.
Answer: 1t was once heard more
or less frequently; but 1t Is now
obsolete in American usage. The
correct American pronunciation D
bew-ROCK-ruh-see.
Overheard on movie travel short:
"The worlds youngest active vol
cano, Mexico's Perry Cute un." The
volcano, Paricutin, is In the state Of
Michoacan, about 200 miles west Of
Mexico City. Paricutin is accented
on the last syllable, thus: pah-ree-
koo- TEEN.
Overheard on q fight broadcast:
"And now both boys are rubbing
their feet in the REZZ-in box :"
The word used is resin, pronounced:
REZZ-in. But 1t was used incor.
rectly. Resin Is the yellowish, gum.
my substance exuded from plants,
especially pine or Ar trees. When
resin is distilled, a hard, AMBER
colored residue is obtained. It Ii
called rosin. violinists apply 1t to
their bows; boxers, acrobats and
athletes use 1t on their hands and
feet to prevent slipping. The correct
pronunciation Is: ROZz-in.;
Watch the word triumph. 1t IL
surprising how many of us end the
word with an erroneous 9Th" sound,
as "TRY-umth." Note that the
word ends in "ph," which, of course.
has the sound of a." Be sure TO
say: TRY-umf.
What ix meant nv the term, "spiit inf1n.
tive" Mr. Colby explains 1t in his leanets

Ickes 10 Do All lean
To Re-eIect Truman

Former Interior Secretary Harold
L. rckes, still maintaining his stand
ing as an "old curmudgeon," Is
going to do "all I cam to re-elect
President Truman-while wishing
he could vote for another.
He came out" for Mr.. Truman in
a press conference late yesterday
that was marked with more expla-
nations than boosts for the present
White House occupant.
Mr.. Ickes started out by remind
ing newspapermer that he had op-
posed the denomination of Mr.. Tru-
man. And he spoke of the Repub-
ncan nominee as Thomas Elusive
Dewey, the candidate in sneakers. "
Then, taking more pains to
denounce Mr.. Dewey than to praise
Mr.. Truman, the stormy petrol Of
the New Deal added:
L would welcome an opportunity
to vote for some one else. but WAL
lace, in his Communist stew. is i'm
possible, and to support Norman
Thomas would be wasting vote"
Mr.. Ickes, Roosevelt carry-over,
resigned from Mr.. Trumans Cabinet
In February, lS46, while fighting the
nomination of Edwin w. Pauley,
California Gilman, as Undersecretary
of Navy.
Mr.. Pauley was not confirmed,
but Mr.. Ickes went out of the
Cabinet over the issue, not to revisit
the White House until last week.
Accusing Mr.. Dewey of having re-
fused to say exactly where he stood
on power. conservation and housing
issues, Mr.. Ickes said: Il prefer to
support Mr.. Truman, who is
straightforward and sincere, if at
times more unpredictable than ]
would wish. He is at least COM
fortably earthy and without cant.
