Too Much "YOu."


In her last broadcast of the pro-
gram, Whats My Name?" quiz
mistress Airline Francis said to a
man contestant, "You have trem-
yoo-loe in your voice."
had never thought of it before
but it occurred to me at once that
it is quite common error to pro-
nounce the word tremolo as "trem-
yoo-loe." The correct pronunciation
| is TREM-uh-l
Why does the erroneous "yoo'
sound get into the word tremolo? ]
think it is because of the influence
of the word tremulous which does
have "u" in the second syllable.
Both tremolo and tremulous come
from the Latin tremulus, trembling
uuaking, quivering" Now why is 1t
that tremolo has an 80" in the Sec
ond syllable, instead of "u', as
is the case with tremulous? Here is
the reason: The Latin tremulus en-
tered English and became tremulous,
retaining the gu" Tremulus also
entered Italian, and became tremolo
which entered English with the
Italian spelling unchanged.
So, the Latin tremulus has given
us two English words-tremu1ous
the adjective, pronounced TREM-
yoo-luss, and tremolo, the noun, pro-
nounced TREM-uh-loe.
But there still is no accounting
for the erroneous "yoo" sound in
percolator (mispronounced PER
kyoo-LAY-ter'), similar Cmispro-
nounced "S1M-yoo-lerD, schedule
(mispronounced IS K E d G E-yoo-

The words should be pronounced
PER-kuh-LAY-ter, or PER-koe-

q mind reader Note the technique
followed by South of todays hand.
It took the form of soliloquy.
'Tf I were East, what would I have
done?" And having answered that
question to his own satisfaction, he
proceeded to make a somewhat alb
normal but winning play.
The bidding proceeded along
more or less orthodox lines. East,
despite the holding of three honor
tricks, is well advised to overcall
rather than double, because his
hand is not particularly flexible. 1t
is true he could stand spade con-
tract, but only if his partner could
bid spades of his own volition. Souths
refusal to enter the auction on the
first round is in accord with mod
ern tactics which require free bid
to be based on something more than
distribution alone.
Against the final contract, West
Led the seven of diamonds and East
cashed the king and ace. West fol-
lowed with the four, which indi-
Gated that he had no more OF the
suit (since the three and the two
were in view. Nevertheless, East
cashed the ace of spades and con-
tinued with the nine. Apparently
everything now hinged on the sue
eaee ~ tho fr1Irnro fnesSp
For a moment declarer toyed with
the idea of winning the second
spade lead with the king, in order
to be in his own hand, so that he
could conveniently finesse twice,
should it turn out that West held
the king twice guarded. Suddenly
he started upon a little venture in
mind-reading. If West held the
king of hearts, the contract could
have been defeated, by the mere
continuation of diamonds, since
West is known to have no more OF
the suit and could overruff de-
clarer. Why. then, did East not
proceed with third round Of dia-
monds, after cashing the ace Of
spades and receiving no signal in
that suit from partner?
The answer must be that East
knows that West will be unable to
overruff declarer. But how. could
East know this? Only if he held
the king of hearts himself. This
led declarer to the apparently in
escapable conclusion that the heart
finesse would not succeed and that
the only hope was that East's king
was alone. East, of course, was
helpless. Had he continued with a
diamond, declarer would have ruffed
with eight of hearts and inme-
diate1y discovered that West could
not overruff. This would have
given away the show more patiently.

AS a 12-year-Old BOY, RupeIls ulu
a great deal of drawing "for pleas
ure.' Two years later, when his
mother agreed that he could become
and artist, he set to work in earnest,
and three artists in Flanders served
as his masters for various periods
until he reached his early twentles.
The youth was a brilliant pupil
and became a better artist than
any of his teachers. He was % years
of age when he set out on trip
to Italy, riding on horseback from
Antwerp to Venice and other
Italian cities.
Among all countries, Italy ranks
first as the place where great paint
ers have lived. Among these we
may mention Raphael, Michael
Angelo, Titan and Leonardo Da
Vinci.
While he was in Venice, young
Rubens came to the attention OF a
duke, and that nobleman employed
him to make pictures for the walls
of a palace.
The Flemish artist stayed three
years in Italy, and spent a good deal
of his time visiting. churches and
other buildings where he could study
the work of Italian masters. In
this way he learned a great deal
which was helpful in his later life.
In Italy he received letter which
told him that his mother was very
i'll. Quickly he bade farewell to his
friend, the duke, and hurried to
Antwerp. When he reached the city,
he found that his mother was dead.
This was a great blow to him, but
Rubens took up once more in Flan-
ders, giving his time to painting por-
traits and other pictures. He mar
ried "a large handsome girl" and
marked his wedding by painting a
portrait Of himself and the bride.
In a large studio, Rubens became
the master of q group Of painters:

then would tell a student to go on
with the coloring. Later he would
give finishing touches to the paint
ing. Three thousand pictures were
turned out in this center of art
and many of them were sold for
high prices. The ones which Rubens
painted entirely by himself brought
twice as much as the average picture
produced in the studio.

Billy Fry Was a Coach
The Boys Remember
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
There has just appeared in The Star a
notice of the death of Walter B. Fry. This
brings memories of the days of our youth,
when Billy Fry was the mentor Of the foot
ball team at the old Lenox School in the
Southeast. in the early COS. He took the
boys of the seventh and eighth grades and
whipped them into a team. with Joe Grant
as the captain. Oldtimers will recall slender.
sandy haired Joe as champion wrestler of
the District. a member of the detective force.
The only other member of this team can
remember was Gus Orange. but do recall
at least one game we played, and I can yet
see the huge form of one Of the famous
Maupin boys bearing down on our line. Foot
ball was rough and rugged game in those
days, when thick crop of hair was bless
ing
Billy Fry was but few years older than
the boys he coached. but he possessed fine
personality and qualities Of leadership, and
had wonderful influence on the kids he
worked SO hard to mold into good sports. He
goes to arich reward. JOHN D. RHODES.

Unwise and Dangerous

The Senate will be doing good Gays
work If it defeats the Mcclellan amend
ment to the legislation appropriaung tunos
to cover the operations of the Marsnan
Plan during fiscal 1850.
AS approved by the Appropriations COM
mittee. the amendment - sponsored oy
Democratic Senator John Mcclellan OF
Arkansas-would have the effect OF con-
yerting the Economic Co-operauon Ao-
ministration into kind OF dumping agency
for our surplus farm products
Thus. out of total of $3,778,3SOOOO pro-
vided for in the Senate measure, well over
a third would be so earmarked as 10 tne

take a fixed amount of our cotton, tooacco'
cereals etc. or suffer sharp cut IN our
aid, In other words, by way OF illustratlon'
n country were allotted 100000, 600 under
the ECA, certain part of that sum-say'
$40 900 ooo-would have to be expended on
our farm products whether those products
were needed or not. Otherwise the re-
eipient would receive only s8O,OooOO0; IL
could not use the $20,000,000 for machinery
or other nonagricultural items that might

imports of agricultural commodities.
The Senate Appropriations Committee
has resorted TO this ear-marklng device on
the basis of figures drawn up some montns
ago by the ECA as broad estimates OF the
agricultural requirements of the partici-
mating countries. Since then the estimates
have been revised sharply downward, but
Senator Mcclellan and his colleagues have
seized upon them to freeze the ECAs Iunos

in the volume assigned to 1t, our aid to II
would be decreased Stated another way,
REGARDLESS of it's requirements, it would be
penalized for not absorbing some OF our
surplus.
This is obviously an unwise and poten-
tally dangerous distortion OF the aims and
principles of the Marshall Plan. Economl-
cally, by placing an inflexible restraint on
the use of funds, it could have Gripping
effect on the whole European Recovery
Program Worse still, it would play right
into the hands of the Kremlin, whose
propaganda all along has been that the
ERP is designed to make Europe vassal
of "imperialistic" American capitalists.
1t is for just such reasons as these that
several of our farm organizations nave
come out strongly against the Mcclellan
amendment The Senate ought certainly
to reject it. 1t is altogether out OF tune
with the Marshall Plan.

Finds Senator Byrd
The Leader of Real Democrats

To the Editor Of The STAR
Your correspondent, who signs virginia
Voter" in The Star on July 20, expresses no
little concern about the Byrd machine" and
he then attempts to compare that machine
with the machines Of Hague. Kelly ct al. But
for your correspondents Information there
can be no just comparison between the fol-
lowers of Senator Byrd and the riffraf vot-
ers of large cities. Those who have voted
for the Senator through his political career
are the real Democrats of Virginia; yea. they
are the salt of the earth so far as the Demo-
cratic Party is concerned
The candidate indorsed by Senator byro
for the nomination for Governor on the
Democratic ticket will come through with
colors flying. The result. for instance. will
be the same as the results of elections held
in the Eighth Virginia District for the past
dozen years in an effort to unseat Howard
Smith. At no time during said period has
any election been close enough to make 1t
interesting for Mr.. Smith
AS to the Senator's politics. this is ques-
ton that cannot be measured with New
Dealers or a Fair Dealers yardstick Suffice
it to say that if there were now. and had
been for the past 10 years, so more Senators
like Senator Byrd the present outlook Tor the
country would be brighter.
1t is suggested that Virginia Voter" join

They Deserve to Die

1t Is not without significance that the
death of the controversial veterans "52-20
Club is about to occur without any resusci
tative efforts by that persistent advocate
of veterans benefits, Representative John
Rankin of Mississippi In fact, strange as
1t may seem at first glance, Mr.. Rankin is
even on record as opposing any action by
Congress to prevent expiration of the
1920 program on Monday Since Mr..
Rankin, as chairman of the powerful
House Veterans Committee, has the repu-
tation of being the leading congressional
champion of bigger and better benefits for
veterans, the suspicion arises that there
must be hitch to his apparent reversal
of attitude.
There is hitch. Mr.. Rankin has what
he considers an excellent substitute for
the 52-20 Club unemployment payments.
He calls 1t his adjusted compensation"
bill less elegant name for it is bonus
bill. 1t is just that. This generous
measure would give servicemen three
dollars a day for each day of war service
and four dollars for each day spent over
seas, up to an individual maximum pay
ment of $4,000. Estimates of the cost OF
the bonuses range from $14 to $50 billion.
This is less, 1t is true, than the cost OF
Mr.. Rankin's House e-approved pension BILL
which, If ever enacted into law, would cost
about $65 billion. Together, the handouts
would impose fantastically heavy burden
on the taxpayers s-including of course, the
veterans and their children and children's
children.
In refusing to give clearance to an ad-
ministration bill extending the 1920 plan,
Chairman Rankin denounced the 50 jobless
payments of $40 a week as rocking chair
money" 1t Is unfortunately fact that
these unemployment checks seemed, in
too many instances, to have an immobiliz-
ing effect on job-seekers. Certainly the
plan has outlived its purpose of providing
an immediate postwar cushion for veterans
in need Of employment. 1t should be
allowed to die and remain dead. And, in
view Of the mounting deficits facing the
Nation for an indefinite period ahead, both
Of the Rankin extra benefits for veterans
bills deserve a like fate.

Europe and Ratification

There are few surprises in European re-
actions to our Senate's ratification OF the
North Atlantic Pact. Its friends, who con-
stitute a majority in all European men,
bers, voice joyful relief, heightened by the
decisive nature of the Senate vote. Its
foes, confined to Communists and fellow
travellers in Western Europe, follow the
party line" laid down in Moscow that the
pact is an aggressive alliance threatening
peace. In this connection, the Red press
everywhere features the arguments of the
opposition Senators, coupling them with
assertions that they represent widespread
popular dissent in America, unable to make
itself felt because of the "warmongering"
oligarchy which allegedly dominates the
United States and dictates its foreign
policy.
Of course, it should not be overlooked
that European qualification is not un-
mixed. 1t is tempered by continued
anxiety over what Congress will do to the
military aid program, which nearly all
Europeans consider vital to the pact's
successful implementation. $50 far, so
good. Now what?" is probably an accurate
condensation of Western Europe's current
state OF mind. Relatively few Europeans
content themselves with the fact that,
from the fundamental standpoint of legal
obligation, the United States is now COM
mitted to what is in effect defense line
ranging from Norway's Arctic border to
French North Africa and Eastern Italy.
They want security against Russian in
vasion of Western Europe which, even
though prelude to eventual Soviet defeat
at Americas hands, would leave virtually
nothing worth liberating after Soviet
occupation This attitude is strongest in
France, and has inspired the De Gaullist
argument that French ratification of the
pact should be conditioned on assurances
from America regarding the amount and
tempo of military aid. Such arguments
are, Of course, sterile and will not sway
the French Chamber, where majority for
ratification is assured. Nevertheless, it
reflects state of mind that is not con-
fined to France and which should be taken
into consideration, especially If Congress
should either pare down the military aid
estimates or delay action on the program
itself
Besides these general reactions, certain
specific questions logically arise OF diplo-
