San Diego: Here's your chance to

pronouns to replace HE or she; his

must submit his or her report.
r. N. w.
A. There is a great need for a
genderless pronoun of the third per-
son. The word then (for that one')
has been proposed, but it has never
been used to my knowledge.
1t is customary to use the mascu-
line in such constructions, the femi-
nine being understood, as: He must
submit his report to his superior
officer.
The pronoun one may also be used,
as: One must submit ones report
to ones superior.
In long paragraphs, however, the
constant repetition of "one' and
ones becomes tiresome and acts
as a stoplight. Using the masculine
pronoun seems to be the best solu-
ttion.

all means do so. If you can give
him the erroneous impression that
you don't want sevens, it may work
to your advantage. You may do
this effectively by discarding two
of them if you happen to have
four, retaining a pair for the big
grab"
The same type of deception may
be practiced when holding five of
a kind, by NEEDING only three of
them and holding up a pair for
later reference.
Similarly when partner has made
his initial meld, it is not always
good practice to add your cards to
his melds, especially if you have
a pair of them. When playing
against opponents who are apt to
freeze the pack, these pairs may
come in handy. In the pinch, your
right-hand opponent may throw one
of these cards, in the belief that
it is safe.
But wheo your side has a meld
containing only three natural cards,
you should hasten to add a fourth
natural, which will be base for
a future canasta. Remember every
canasta must contain at least four
natural cards.

Sierra Madre: My parents prefer
to have me use the word relative
instead of relation. My Webster's
seems to indicate that either is
proper.-A. B.
A. Yes, relation and relative both
mean, zone who is connected with
another or others by blood or by
marriage" It's a matter of choice.
However, it is customary nowadays
to use the word relative, as he's a
relative of mine. Relation, in that
sense, is somewhat old fashioned.

Even now the Russians would prop

Several months ago, Clay renewed his

In line with this development, the
War Department has sought to have
the Army relieved of military gov

Gen. Clay is known to feel that the
State Department should take over

Should the U. S. switch from mil

likely Britain and France may follow

If agreement can be reached, Gen.

The parents were chosen for study

groups in California.
The group beats most other people

from love to earning ability. Top in

$4,000.
Fewer of them died. The groups

Fewer had become insane and fewer

Almost half are in the professional

More than 40 per cent of the men
in the group were in military service.
Three-fourths were commissioned Of

High Marriage Rate
Eighty-five per cent of the group
had married by 1945, a percentage
we'll above that of college graduates
in general. Their divorce rate is some-
what below the California average.
Some of the women in particular
achieved distinguished careers. But,
says DR.. Terman, perhaps their great
est achievement was in the selection
of mates. Several of the husbands
chosen by women in the group are
more gifted and more eminent than
the average man in the gifted group
itself.

their careers in detail would enable

The specific core of the dispute IS
a motion to consider a change in Sem
ate rules to permit limiting debate on
any subject. Administration leaders
frankly admit the change is designed
to make it easier to pass the Presi-
dents civil rights program.
Sooner or Later
Sen. Scott Lucas GIL the majority
leader, said: "We must grapple with
this problem. The issue must be met
sooner or later and we might as well
meet it now"
Sen. George (D-Ga) officially OPEN
ing the South's filibuster-to-save-t
filibuster, predicted it would be a
memorable debate. He said, little
grimly, "The results from it no man
can quite see at this time"
Lucas, the Administration leader in
the Senate, is counting on some Re-
publican aid in helping still chs
Southern Sound and fury in show
down scheduled tentatively for some
time next week.
The crux stems from the filing of
petition to invoke the debate-limiting
cloture procedure. It will be up to
Vice President Barkley to rule
whether or not there can be any limi-
tation of debate under present Senate
rules on motion to take up the reso-
luton.
Last summer Sen. Vandenberg (R.
Mich], then the Senate's presiding Of
ficer, ruled that debate limitations did
not apply in similar case. This was
in an effort by Sen Wherry (R-Neb)
to call up the ahti-poll tax bill.
Last summer Barkley disputed
Vandenberg's decision. If he does rule
that the debate limit does apply.
Lucas said he expects liberal Repub-
icans to vote to uphold Barkley.
Lucas conceded that some of the
Republicans might be "put on the spot
politically" because, although they
favor civil rights legislation they
don't relish overturning ruling Of
Vandenberg's.
The II COP senators who sought to
end debate by the cloture method last
summer include Taft, Wherry, Ives

and Saltonstall.

The Z2sl;l This WEEK
New Phase in the Peace Offensive

THE variable line of Soviet
i diplomacy in the east-west
cold war has switched again.
What started out a month ago as
a peace offensive has hardened
into a series of thinly 'veiled
threats, uttered in turn by Red lead
ers in lands outside the Russian satel-
lite sphere.
In the past fortnight, Communist
spokesman in France, Italy, Germany
and Britain have declared that an in
vading Red Army would be welcomed
and assisted by theii party organi-
cations.
Washington and London agree that
the statements, in timing and una
nimity of tough but careful phrasing,
add up to almost circumstantial evil
dence of inspired directives from the
Kremlin.
The New Theme
The new theme was voiced first by
Maurice Thorez, secretary general of
the French Communist Party. He
suggested that if the French people

selves at war with Russia and the
Soviet army chad to chase the enemy
onto our soiP' the Communists would
welcome the invaders.
Palmiro Togliatti, Esly's No. l
Communist, was bolder. The Italian
people, he said, would have the duty
ito aid in the most efficient way" any
Russian army which might be re-
quired to pursue an aggressor. into
Italy.
In Venice, Pietro Nenni, pro-Com-
munist Socialist leader of Italy, was
quoted as telling mass meeting to
refuse to fight for their present gov
ernment in wal between Russia and
the United States. Socialist and Com
munists, he said, should form an 'ad-
vance guard of the liberating armies" :"
