SNOW LEMMING.
By liIIion Cox Athey

Few mammals choose to live so
close to the North Pole as do the
small, stocky white-coated snow
Jennings. In the summer the white
garment is exchanged for a gray one,
clouded with black and bright buff
on the Sides Around the throat is
taWny circle which accounts foS
their other name, opllared lemnling
AS winter approaches the gray hairs
drop out and are replaced by long
white ones with gray base. Both
coats are quite like those worn by
snow-shoe rabbits.
Their only neighbors are the polar
bear and the Antarctic fox which
appear to love Santa Claus land as
much as the snow jennings do. You
will find the snow lemming from the
northern part of Greenland and
Ellesmere Land to the southern
margin of the Arctic tundra, and
from Labrador to the River Oh in
Siberia. Once during the Ice Age
these Jennings ranged as far south
and west as Central France. With
the exception of one other cousin,
the snow lemming is the only true
rodent that turns white.
Snow Jennings measure only six
inches counting one-inch tail. At
first sight the chubby little creature
reminds you of a small woodchuck-
they are cousins, you know. Their
ears are buried in the deep fur and
the large black eyes are placed near
the top of the head. The black
Whiskers are rarely still
Through the summer much time
is spent excaVating underground
tunnels. The only tools are the long,
sharp claws on their two middle
fingers. When the ground freezes
solid each year something amazing
occurs to help the lemming in his
labor. The claws grow longer and
become doubled, one growing above
the other The upper part Of the
Snow claw" may become half an
inch long, the true claw separated
from it by notch. With the addi-
ton of the snow-claW the lemming
can make fine tunnels in the deep
snow.
Under the snow roof cozy one
room apartments are established
some of them furnished with dry
grass and musk-ox wool and tender
bark from small bushes. On this
one-foot wide bed the entire family
snoozes through the winter days and
it may become the maternity ward
where the four or five young lem
mings are born.
When the snow melts there may
be several sets of babies born before
the coming winter. Jennings OF
the North Pole do not migrate as
their famous migrating cousins oi
Scandinavia do. In fact they never
become so abundant.

T axe MyWord for 1t
By Fronk Colby
Saturday Word Bee.

Omaha: Our class is trying to find
out what Harry S. Truman's middle
name is. Will you please tell us?-
r. c. T.
Answer: It's hard to believe. but
the President actually has no middle
name. He was named Harry for his
mothers brother, Harry Young. He
was given the initial IS" for his
grandfathers' given names: Ander-
son Shippe Truman, and Solomon
Young. Thus, the IS" is not a
name-it is a sort.of family memento.
Los Angeles: Carveth Wells, trav-
eler and commentator, on a recent
broadcast, pronounced evolution as
"ee-vol-u-tion. Is that Brit
icism?-F. " o.
Answer: Yes: 1t is the pronuncia-
tion listed by the oxford English
Dictionary. But zee -vol-u-tion" never
occurs in standard American. Be
sure to say: EV-uh-LOO-shun: or
EV-uh-LYOO'shun.
Question: Westbrook Pegler, very
salty character, often uses the word
"ignoranti" in his writings. Did he
make it up?-Q. McG.
Answer: 1t appears so. He uses
it, apparently, as the opposite Of
literati, pronounced: LIT-er-AY'ty
CITY" to rhyme with my. by'). Thus
ignoranti would mean Ignorant or
illiterate persons: the uneducated
masses" pronounced: IG-nuh-
RAN'ty.
Kansas City: Will you please tell
us how the Italian place name
Tivoli is pronounced?-Mrs. M. M.
Answer: In italian it's: TEE-voe-
lee The American pronunciation
is: TIV-uh-lee.
Los Angeles: Here's clipping that
speaks of a provision requiring the
reading of the st. James version Of
the Bible at all public schools. Please
comment-W. o.
Answer: It's a rather common
mistake. Should be: Authorized
Version, or King James Bible.
Hollywood: For years I've used
the word "odiferous," meaning bad
smelling" It's not in the diction-
ary. Why?-P. r.
Answer: The correct spelling Is
"o-dor-if-er-ou pronounced: OH
der-IF 'er-uss. But it does not mean
bad smelling" 1t means, per
fumed; fragrant: sweet of scent

The bidding:

opening lead: Five of diamonds.
The final contract was six spades.
On an examination of the combined
holding it becomes apparent that
the slam contract Is not a sound
one. The odds are very heavily
against fulfnment. In the first
place there is an inevitable heart
loser, after which there Is the queen
of trumps to worry about, not to
mention the distribution of the adj
verse trumps and the little matter
of handling the odd club. But in
the actual bidding it is rather diff
cult to avoid reaching the slam.
This is apt to be the case on hands
in which there is such a distinct
duplication of values as is the case
in the diamond situation, where
South's ace-king are duplicated by
North's void. North's response OF
three clubs was made specifically for
the purpose of affording South the
opportunity to show major suit II
he happened to have one, the void
In diamonds initiating somewhat
against final no-trump contracts
The five of diamonds was opened
and declarer was called upon to
time his sequence of plays perfectly
in order to fulfill this perilous con-
tract. The diamond ruff must not
be taken now because 1t will be re-
quired for purposes of entry into
dummy later in the play. The first
trick was won with the king in the
closed hand and a high trump led
just for luck. The three of hearts;
was then led to the nine in the,
dummy. East actually took the
trick and returned a club. Declarer
won and overlook the ten of hearts
with the Jack to try the spade
finesse. This succeeded and the re-
naming trump was drawn. The
king of hearts was then cashed,
dummy entered with a diamond
ruff, and the losing club discarded
on the established heart.
Note that If the diamond Is ruffed
In dummy early. East will refuse to
take his ace of hearts till the third
round, and declarer will have no
entry to dummy in the end play to

Clay Legal Aide Called
In ||se Koch Probe
BY the Asseeiafed Press

One of Gen. Lucius D. Clay's ace
legal aides was called before Sen
ate Investigating Committee today
to explain why Ilse Koch's life SEN
tence as a Nazi war criminal was
cut to four years.
An Army spokesman did not iden-
tify the witness who was brought
home to testify at closed session
other than to say he is "one OF the
top reviewers" on the legal staff of
the American occupation command
er in Germany.
There has been a storm of pro-
test, both here and in Germany
over the clemency granted the A.
year-old widow of the Buchenwald
prison camp commandant.
Gen. Clay reduced the Koch
woman's sentence last summer on
the recommendation of military
court review board. Later, he said
the trial record did not warrant a
life term because charges against
her were based on "hearsay and
not on actual evidence
Among other things. Frau Koch
was accused of using tattooed skin
of slain prison inmates to make
lamp shades.
Senator Ferguson, Republican, OF
Michigan, who heads the investi-
eating committee, told a reporter

whole question as to jurisdiction OF
Gen. Clay to reduce sentence or re-
impose the life sentence"

"The general sat up in bed this

Seriousness of the operation
stirred considerable speculation that
Gen. Marshall might resign soon as
Secretary Of State. He has wanted
to retire for some time and may
need a long perior of rest and re-
cuperation.
There was no official indication,
however, that he would not resume
direction of the Nations foreign
affairs after an expected speedy re-
covery. His physicians believe he
will be out of bed in few days,
although his age makes it impossible
to predict how soon he may be able

Acting Secretary of State Low

He told a news conference that
the present system is completely
different from that used 10 years

The House. Committee on Un-

ago which, Mr.. Lovett said, would
unquestionably have been of great
assistance to foreign power in

From what State Department Of

Mr.. Lovett said the department is
conducting its own investigation,
however, in an effort to find out
who took the documents So far
as he knows, he told questioners,
the department has not been in
formed by the House committee who
it believes was involved.
Mr.. Lovett said the department
had sought permission from the
House committee last Saturday to
examine microfilm copies of some
State Department documents which
had been found hidden in a pump

these experts examine the docu-
ments and advise about their pub
lication.
Mr.. Lovett said the department
has been informed by cryptographic
experts that its present code work
is as secure as any material of that
nature can be.
He emphasized the complete diff

But Rate OF Growth Slows
BY the Associoted Press

This countrys population reached
47,280,000 on October /, the Census

Although that is the highest ever

Population growth in the first nine

Since the last actual count on
