T axe Ny Word for 1t
Rv Eyank ralhv
by fronk Solby
Secretary's Handbook.


@. Please settle an ofice dispute.
Is this sentence correct: Someone
was prowling about, but the con-
stable didn't see them"
A. 1t is incorrect. Such words as
someone, somebody, any one. any
body, every one, everybody, no one.
nobody, ETC., are singular, and should
be followed by a singular, verb. In
your sentence, the singular verb
was" is correct; but the plural pro-
noun them" is incorrect. It would
be better to write 1t thus: Someone
was about, but the constable didn't
see him (or.s didn't see the
prowler).
@. My boss and can't agree on
which is correct: AN hours delay
or IAN hours delay"
A. Such statements are considered
possessive; the apostrophe should be
used thus: An hours delay:
months leave Of absence: a hairs
breadth: 10 years experience; Q
dollars worth; 10 cents worth, etc.
@. My employer insists on die
tating the word "irregardless." I'm
sure it's wrong, but cannot explain
why. Can you Colbyize 1t for us?
A. "Irregardless" is o hardy peren-
NAL that seems destined to live for
ever. The word is double mega
tive, for ir- means mot" and LESS
means without" 'Irregardless."
then. means mot regard without"
which Is nonsense. The correct
world is regardless, without regard"
@. Which sentence is correct? Il
could not find 1t anywheres." Il
could not find it any place"
A. Neither is correct. According
to good authority, ANY place, every
place, no place, some place" are
vulgarisms when used for anywhere.
everywhere, nowhere, somewhere.
Correct: / could not find it any
where. Mote: 1t is dialectal to
write "anywheres. everywheres, no
where's, somewheres. Omit the
$50
@. Is "light-complected" correct7
A. No. Correct: Light-complex-
ioned. Completed means inter
woven"

Oil Hearing Explores
Production Boost With
Federal Cooperation

Chairman Wherry of the Senate
Small Business Committee doesn't
agree with the oil company presi-
dent who suggested doing away with
oil heating to beat the petroleum
products shortage.
The committee, which attained
extreme popularity last winter help
ing oil drought areas keep warm, now
Is bent on proving there is plenty of
oil to go around for all purposes, If
the Government will only cooperate
in getting 1t out of the ground.
Testimony gathering is now under
way to support the feasibility Of
increasing oil production In the face
Of critics who insist such an ex-
|pediency would harm our resources
|irreparably.
A spokesman said the committee
could not go along with a statement
by w. T. Holiday Of Cleveland,
president OF Standard Oil Co. Of
Ohio, that fuel oil users should con-
vert to other means for keeping
warm.
Such a thought is entirely out Of
line with the American conception
of noninterference with individual
rights, he said. In addition to tam
pering with these rights, an attempt
at wholesale conversion would pro-
mote confusion and hardships.
The committee is proceeding,
rather, on the theory that a proper
upward adjustment of oil produc-
ton this summer could be worked
out in time to prevent repetition Of
las winters fuel oil shortage. AS
explained by one committee staff
member the case for more oil is
developing thus:
Expert witnesses, such as DR.. r. E.
Wilson, chairman OF the board of
Standard Oil of Indiana, have testi-
fled the petroleum products short
age is nearer 2 per cent than the
Is per cent estimated by some In
terror Department sources. - >7
Other witnesses-engineer, geol-.
ogists sand conservationists - are
being summoned to testify that oil
production may be stepped up 2
per cent without interfering with
the maximum recovery" Of the oil
lands.
Not only is the oil available, but
refnery facilities and trarisporta-
ton are ample to handle an in
creased output. Part Of the answer
would be in diverting the crude oil
to independent reflneries. One hun
dred twenty plants are operat-
ing at "a per cent idle capacity
500, 600 barrels day under capacity
production.
With these and other figures the
committee hopes to convince the
Interior Department it should raise
its annual forecast on probable oil
production. So

The position taken by the Ma.
tional Youth Assembly Against Uni.
versal Military Training that Il
speaks for young people in church
campus and other organizations Is
disputed by groups that shy away
from the assembly because they
consider it, ito all practical pur-
poses, a Communist 'front.'"
| The principal critic of the assem-.
bly, Is not the House Un-American
Activities Committee, which has col.
lected information about it.
Instead, it is the National Council
Against Conscription, which has or.
ganized Students for Democratic
Action" in an effort to prevent the
assembly from clouding the issue
and weakening the opposition to
UNIT.
The assembly, according to the
Rev. John w. Darr, jr., its chair
man, was formed under the follow
ing circumstances:
EARLY in December, a group OF
10 young people from varied back
grounds met in New York to dis
cuss what should be done to ex-
press youths opposition to UNIT
Nothing effective up to this time
had been done to give united DEM
onstration of the great sentiment
against UNIT.

"These young people constituted
themselves as committee to call
a National Youth Assembly Against
UNIT. Officers were elected (the

EMPLOYERS TELL BRIDGES
 NO CONTRACT TO BE MADE
 UNDER HIS LEADERSHIP

SAN FRANCISCO - West Coaa Waterfront Employers told GIG longshore chief Harry Bridge Tuesday that it considered any contract which you and your lead ershlp are ultimately to admins ter is worthless"
 The statement was made inalet- ter written by Frank P. Foise. President of the Waterfront Elm ployers' Association, to Bridges Foise rejected the latter's latest proposal for reopening negotia lions in the more than 48-day old West Coast maritime strike.
 Bridges had offered to allow strikers to select a rank and fiI. negotiating committee by secret ballot.
 Foise accused the union leader ship of IA years of irresponsibiIity. The waterfront employers have re fused to negotiate with unions whose leaders have not signed non- communist affidaWts which are ,,e quired by the Taft-Hartley law for services of the National Labor Re- .lations Board.
 The longshoremen demand a l6- cent raise from a base pay of $1.67 an hour. The employers offered 10 cents but withdrew all offers when negotiations broke off.
 At the same time, Alaska gov ernment officials again urged Seat. tie operators of Alaska shipping lines to accept a union offer to re- lease strikebound vessels.
 The plea was contained in an "open letter" signed by Alaska Governor Ernest Gruening, Dele gate E. L. Bartlett, Attorney Gen. eral Ralph Riyeers and Commis sioner of Labor Henry Benson.
 The letter asked the shippers 10 reconsider their turndown of tn, unions willingness to sail all Al aska ships under pre-strike condi- tions, with terms of any West Coast agreement becoming retro active.
 In reply, M. G. Ringenberg President of the Waterfront En ployers of Washington, termed the letter the same old pious plea Of appeasement that has issued from some politicians in Alaska in other forms in recent weeks"
 Ringenberg reiterated the oper ators' determination not to deal with striking unions that he said are under irresponsible leader ship"
 The letter is written to the wrong people," he said sIt should have been addressed to the ranK and file of .the unions who have It within their power to throw out their irresponsible leaders. "
