Witness Reverses Self
And Admits He Heard
OF Red ''DoubIe-1aIk'
By the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-A de-
fense witness was forced yesterday
to reverse his testimony that he
never heard Of Red double talk
language before the Communist
conspiracy trial started.
Under prosecution cross-exami-
nation, the witness. Max Weiss,
admitted that he actually learned
of double -talk-or "Aesopian"-
language many years ago in a
book by Lenin.
Weiss, former Communist Ma
tional education director, also ad-
mitted that he once lied under
oath in seeking a passport to visit
Russia.
2 From Cumberland Testify.
Weiss testified in direct testi-
mony that he never heard the
pharse, "Aesopian language" until
he read newspaper accounts OF
the lengthy conspiracy trial.
This language. according to
Louis F. BudenZ, former Com
munist and an earlier Govern
ment witness, is a roundabout. in
volved way of speaking and writ
ing used by Communists to cloak
the real meaning of their aims.
Two witnesses from Cumber-
land, Md, followed Weiss to the
stand. They were Arthur Schus-
terman and William Boyd Cole
man, both employed by the Gel
anese Corp. of America.
Denies Discussion.
They denied testimony given
earlier by prosecution witness,
Charles w. Nicodemus, also of
Cumberland.
Schusterman denied that:
The possibility of revolution
in five or six years was discussed
at a meeting in Coleman's home.
That Schusterman and AL Lam
non, a Maryland-District Of Co.
lumbia director of the party, said
at the meetings that Russia, with
the help of planes. could invade
Alaska and the United States
from Siberia.
That the textile branch Of the
party was broken down in 1910
into groups of five persons "for
security reasons"

Pandora In Traditional Tilt Friday

With an excellent chance of run
ming their victory string to three in
a row, Bluffton Highs undefeated
gridders will meet a twice-beaten
Pandora eleven under the lights at
Harmon field this Friday night.
Although pre-game dope has de-

of victory.
While Bluffton was scoring wins
over Kenton, II to 6, and Ada, 13

Warrensburg: I love good music.
But radio bothers me with the
mispronunciations "concherto" for
concerto and "chello" for cello
A. s. H.
A. Sorry, they are not mispro-
nunciations. Practically all musical
terms are Italian, and the English
recommendations are similar to the
italian. Concerto is: kun -CHEHR-
toe. Cello is: CHELL-oh.

And the other half the ague!
Now tell me, does ague rhyme with
plague?-R j. w.
A. No. Ague Is a two-syllable
word: AY-gyoo.
Boonville: One Of your readers
wanted a word describing person
who has a passion for using very
long words. You suggested megal-
overbomanaic. But wouldn't Ses-
quipedalian be the better word?-
Mrs. G. T. I.
A. Sesquipedalian has long been
used humorously in that meaning.
Actually, however, it means
measuring a foot and half" from
the Latin sesquipedalia verba, words
foot and half long"
Madison: We have an argument
about the pronunciation Of the word
frieze. I say it's French and should
be pronounced free-zAY. Am
right?-Mrs. D. D.
A. Not quite. Frieze is the Eng
lish form Of the French frise. Both
are pronounced exactly like the word
freeze-one syllable only.
The Dales: According to my
dictionary, the only correct pro-
nunciation for the word anchovy is
ann -CHO-vee. But I feel affected
using that pronunciation. What do
you advise?-Mrs. T. G..
A. As . rule, any pronunciation
that appears affected = not . good

Men who went to college in Eng
land during the past century were
few compared to those who wanted
to do so. This was true, most Of all
about the students who entered
Oxford and Cambridge, the Oldest
British universities.
A student who managed to get
into Cambridge was George Alfred
Henty. When he finished, he joined
the army and was sent to the Cri-
mean War, which the British and
Turks were fighting against Russia
It was interesting to the young
man to go to the Near East. HIS
work was to help take care OF
supplies for the soldiers, rather than
to fight in the battles.
Back to England came Henty when
the war was over. As q member OF
the army after the war, he stayed
in "Purveyor's department."
At the age of "a Henty gave up
his work in the British Army so ne

.Goren on Bridq,

Today we have news. South Is the
goat! Occupants Of that seat nave
from time immemorial been CLAM
orized by writer's on the game
George s. Kaufman, in his intro
duction to my book on play, called
mirth-provoking attention to the
circumstance that bridge writer's
supply that gentleman with cards
unequaled in real life. II. I. Phil
lips once asserted with feeling that
he'd rather be South than be Pres
ident." Now with all the background
and with so much natural endow-
ment, look what this fellow in to-
days hand has done to the tradi-
ton.
The opening bid was one diamond
and North responded normally with
one heart Note that he did not
fall into the error of bidding two
no-trump merely because he had IN
honor tricks. A response OF two no
trump to an opening bid Of one in q
suit should be made only with a
hand that is equal in strength to an
opening bid-that Is to say, Is to 10
points-and this hand is fractionally
short, containing but IL points.
South chose as his rebid one no
trump, which we do not regard as
acceptable. First, because it did not
do Justice to the hand and, second
ly. because 1t concealed good four
card major. Perhaps 1t would have
simplified matters to open with one
no-trump on this balanced hand
containing q point count of 10.
The opening lead of the five OF
clubs was taken by the jack and de-
clarer Immediately reached for the
queen of diamonds. He had last
minute change of heart when he re-
called some slogan to the effect that
the queen is usually located over the
jack. On that theory West should
be played for the queen Of hearts,
so he led the ace, followed by the
jack. East took it and for want of
anything better, returned his part
ners suit, to clear up the setting
tricks.
South was not actually injured in
this case by the theory as to the To-
cation of the queen, for If he hadn't
thought of that he would have taken
the diamond finesse with the same
result. The simple point that to-
days goat overlooked was that nine
tricks were assured provided East
did not obtain the lead early
enough to come through the king
of clubs. ,-
If West has the queen of hearts,
let him be welcome to it, because
he cannot profitably continue lead
ing clubs. Declarer should, there
fore, have entered dummy with q
spade, led the five Of hearts and
played the jack from his own hand
If West wins, declarer can count
four spades, three hearts, dia-
mond and a club. If the jack Of
hearts wins, the nine tricks are
there in the same manner. ALI this

The striking thing is that
many of these water shortages
are occurring not in desert but
in well-watered areas.
The reasons are many and
complex. BY no means the least
is the factor of run-off water
and erosion. States once covered
with grass and forest which
drank up heavy rainfall. per-
hitting It TO sink deep into the
ground. have been largely
cleared of, plowed up and into
wholesale row-crop cultivation
which not only turns the great
bulk of the rainfall off the sur
face and down the streams but
promotes the disappearance an
nually of billions of tons Of the
topsoil.
The increasing use of UNDER
ground and even surface water
for industrial and metropolitan
purposes in certain areas has
added its burden to the losses
from run-off surface water, and
not the least factor has been
the monstrous growth Of our
great cities and the increasing
fabulous demands made by them
on the water supplies.
But these monstrous cities not
only provide us with grave
problems of water supply. They
have largely become, in them

selves, monstrosities which Gre
ate virtually insoluble problems
in sociology, crime, traffic,
transportation. labor unrest and
taxes. Virtually every city in the
United States with a popula-
tion of over 25o,oo0. lives per-
petually on the verge Of bank
ruptcy and nearly all of them
seek financial support to be
paid for in taxes by the popula-
tions living outside their bor-
dcrs.
Water Factor Menace
In some cases the water fac
tor has become almost as
menacing to inhuman concen-
trations Of population as the
threat Of the atomic bomb.
It is conceivable that New
York City could solve the prob
lens Of its waning water sup
ply by diverting the flow Of
the Hudson River from above
the tidewater line. but the vast
expense, already added to the
colossal financial burdens Of
city administration, would push
conditions to the point of utter
bankruptcy and the complete
ruin through increasing tax
burdens Of all industrial and
real estate values. AS a mat
ter of record, New York City
Is very near to such a crisis at
the present time.

find means of purifying sea-
