The Word Melee

Melee is a French word meaning
"an affray: confused general
hand-to- hand fight" Example: He
was badly injured in the melee.
How would you pronounce the
word melee? You'd say MEE-lee,
wouldn't you? OF course you would,
for MEE-lee the natural Angii-
cized pronunciation of the word,
that neaNy everyone uses.
But you won't find the pronunci-
alton MEE-lee in any American
dictionary thus far published! The
dictionaries offer three choices;
MAY-lay; may-LAY; MELL-ay
none of which suggests the word
melee.
The dictionaries first choice,
MAY-lay, does suggest the adjec-
tive and noun Malay. Using the
MAY-lay pronunciation, read the
sentence aloud again, and you will
be making the surprising statement
that "He was badly injured IN the
Malay!
Now 1t is true that the French
pronunciation of melee Is: meh-
LAY. But melee has been consid-
cred an English word for centuries,
as have tens of thousands of other
Frtnch loan words which are never
given the French pronunciations.
The dictionaries refusal to recog-
nize the standard American pro-
nunciation MEE-lee is unrealistic
in the extreme. They cannot ad-
vance a single sound reason why
MEE-lee Is not a perfectly logical
and legitimate pronunciation.
When my forthcoming Pronounc-
ing Dictionary is published, you will
find that the recommended pronun-
citation of melee is: MEE-lee.
A similar word is the name Pelee,
a mountain volcano In the West In
dies. All dictionaries known to me
show the French pronunciation
PEE-lee.

Prior to 1900. Natures largest nut
was looked upon with awe; its origin
unknown, and Its appearance on the
shores of India cause for fantastic
tales. The giant nuts weighed at
40 pounds.
In those days great curative pow
ers were connected with anything
that could not be explained, So the
nut was supposed to contain re-
liable cure for poisoning. And as
Kings and high potentates were
fearful of being removed from the
scene by poisoned food, 1t was nat
ural for the nut to be sought. Guards
were placed around 1t.
For 200 years the giant nut held
high place until the truth about
them smashed the myth. Trees were
found growing on Praslin, one CT
the 20 islands included in the Sey-
chelles group lying in the Indian
Ocean northeast Of Madagascar. In
the large forest there were many OF
the weird palms. The source OF the
coco-de-mer was known!
The goliath nut resembles COCO
nut. but is double-lobed. 1t wears
and identical coat or husk which
overlies the similar fibrous layer
found ON the coconut. The vast d1f'

Coucealinr Five of Partners Trumps
Necessarily q Personal Affront.
Major suit trump support should
rarely be concealed from partner
When for example, the opening
bidder on the rebid round Is pre-
sented with q choice between show
ing a second suit or supporting
partners major suit take-out, the
latter should in most cases be
preferred, tho the trump holding
is but three to an honor. -Four caro-
trump support should hardly ever
be kept a secret and failure TO
raise with fve Of partners suit
IL virtually unheard Of.
However, even such drastic pro-
eedure as the concealment OF nVe
card trump support, may at times
become indicated from the common
sense Of the situation. Some players
regard 1t as a personal o1ront wnen
partner refuses to support their
s,1it. In this case held forth
the greatest admiration for the
resourcefulness of my partner
olive Peterson, who refused to
raise nv spade call tho she held
an extremely powerful spade olo
herself.
West opened with one club and
East with only a pair OF JACKS
refused to keep the bidding open:
Mrs, Peterson naturally doubled ana
the shade response was routine.
East now took the liberty OF "oack,
ing In" with two hearts, oio
which he felt could hardly excite
mariner when it is recalled that
he had passed the opening bid.
II is at this point that my
nartner made the bid worthy OF
your attention, tVo no-trump IN
preference to supporting spades.
It was quite evident that II spaces
were supported, the king OF ciuos
would be led thru at the opening.
In the point of fact, at most tables
North became declarer at con-
tract of ;o1f spades. With club
openins. the defense cashed the
ace and queen, East ruf1ed the thrd
round and the ace of spades was
still to score.
At no trump there was no way

ForrestaI Drops Plea

Defense officials said yesterday
that because other matters now ap-
pear more important it. has been
decided not to bear down" on the
missions request which Mr.. For
restal described in a report two
weeks ago as a program of top
priority" for Congress attention.
The request was one of two criti-
cized last week by James G. Patton
president of the National Farmers
Union. The other asked legislation
permitting the United States to send
military aid to other nations. Mr.
Patton said Mr.. Forrestal was ask
ing "the power to make war"
Forrestal Letter Made Public.
But Mr.. Forrestal denied any such
intention in a letter which Senator
Cain, Republican, of Washington
made public yesterday. Without
mentioning Mr.. Patton by name, the
Secretary labeled the criticism an
apparent attempt to discredit the
foreign policy of this Government.
The military aid proposal, Mr..
Forrestal said, was intended to apply
under circumstances directly in
volving the national security"
Senator Cain put the letter in the
Senate record. He explained that he
had received an avalanche of mail
which severely criticized Mr.. For
restal for demanding dictatorial and
militaristic powers"
Deny Idea Has Been Dropped
Reports that Mr.. Forrestal had
abandoned the idea of military mis-

munist countries the benefit of their
expert acknowledgements denied by
officials of his department. But

University Women
May Change Bylaws
To Gust D. {. Chapter
BY the Associated Press

SEATTLE, June 18.-The
long-smouldering race controversy
which has divided the American
Association of University Women
for two and a half years will
break on the national convention
floor here next week.
The issue is whether a branch
of the AAUW can bar from men,
bership a Negress who Is accepted
as a member by the National Or
ganization.
The controversy was touched
off IN October. 1946, when Mrs.
Mary Church Terrell, Negro who
holds both bachelor Of arts and
master of arts degrees from Ober-
lin College, was denied member

branch.
The AAUW lost in the courts
In an effort to eject the Washing
ton branch from membership
unless it acted with the national
AAUW policy on the race question.
The courts held the Washington
branch could not be elected under
present bylaws. So bylaws
changes are to be presented the
membership Wednesday.
