Nebraska, Arkansas;
TAYLOR Bid Is Feature
Rv the Associated Press

A torrid campaign featuring the
denomination attempt of Senator
Glen Taylor, Democrat, of Idaho
and a record SO candidates is ex-
pected to draw heavy Idaho
primary vote today.
The ex-cowboy singers chief op-
position is expected from former
Senator D. Worth Clark. The third
aspirant is Representative Comp
ton 1. White.
Aspirants for the Republican
nomination for the SiX-year Sen
ate seat are Gov. c. A. Robins.
Representative John E. Sanoorn
and Herman Welker.
Candidates also will be chosen
for a four-year unexpired term in
the Senate now filled by Senator
Henry c. Dworshak.
There were also primaries today
in Arkansas and Nebraska, but
they drew comparatively little
out-of- State interest.
In Nebraska, there is no Senate
contest this year. Val Peterson,
Republican Governor, is trying for
a third term nomination. Run
ming for the Democratic governor
ship nomination in a wide open
race are no fewer than five candi-
dates. There are also primary
contests for four House seats.
Most of Arkansas primary con-
tests were decided in a first pri-
mary July 25. Also. since Senator
j. William .Fulbright and six
House members are unoppoSed for
Democratic denomination, it was
left up to local races to generate
any heat.

What's the Origin?

@, AS child I was always given
horehound candy when I had a
cough. How did it get its curious
canine name?-Mrs. A. B.
A. The hound" in horehound is
a spelling corruption. Horehound
is a mint plant, the Marubium vul-
gare. The original Anglo-Saxon
word was harhune, gray (hoar)
plant" This became the middle
English horhoune, which omehow
picked up an excrescent I'd" and be-
came horehound.
@. Will you please explain the ex-
preston to raise or play "hob"?--
r. r.
A. This particular hob is now
obsolete word meaning IAN elf,
sprite or fairy" To play or raise
hob, then, is to create the havoc
characteristic of a malicious evil
spirit. The word hob is also seen
in the word hobgoblin.
Q. During the war we heard a
lot about weasel words" What is
the origin of the expression, and
was it coinage of the late F. D. r.?
u. D. P.
A. Weasel words is an expression
that describes the hair splitting and
equivocation which suck the life

One day a fisherman heard
noises on the other side of stream.
Looking toward the spot from
which the noises came, he saw
large bird in a struggle with an
enemy Of some kind.
The fisherman found place
where he could cross, and ran to
the scene of the fight. There he
found a dead bird-a heron-and
a dead eel. 1t was plain that the
heron had been strangled by the
eel, and the eel had died because
the bird had bitten into its gills.
That took place in England,
where the eel and bird were stuffed
and placed in private collection.
I never have heard of such strug-
gle taking place in North America,
but there are plenty of eels and
herons on this continent.
Great blue herons grow to be
close to 8 feet inches tall.
They make their nests in several

Columbia in the west to Prince Ed

land meaning out of statement,
just as weasel sucks the contents
from an egg while leaving the shell
apparently intact.
1t was Theodore Roosevelt who
popularized the term. In a speech
at st. Louis, May 81, 1916, he de-
clared: "One of our defects as
Nation is a tendency to use what
have been called weasel words.
When weasel sucks eggs, the meat
is sucked out of the egg. If you
use weasel word after another.
there is nothing left of the other"
@. What is "blaekmail" so called?
%. w.
A. This particular "mail' has
nothing to do with postal service.
Mail is Scottish term for rent or
tribute. It was once the custom in
parts of England and Scotland for
predatory chieftains to collect
tribute from estates and villages in
return for protection from pillage.
The mail (rent or tribute) was in
the form of cattle, corn or other
food products. This was called
''black mail" as distinguished from
white mail"-rent paid in silver.
In 1901, during the reign of Eliza
beth, payment or receipt of black
mail was declared by law to be a
felony.

CIRCULATION in Washington as
- a result of bitter partisan de.
bates in the congress ran the gam
ut of whether President Truman
would veto the proposed control bill
and the revised interim tax bin
and whether or not q ssfireside
chat to the people would ease thu
political pressure on the admins
tration as result of COP charges
Of laxity in pre-Korean war prepa-
rations.

tration blunders, whether true
or untrue, the harping and "pi-

tending to hamstring the ad-

security and efforts at combat
ting Russian propaganda ON the
floor of the United Nations Sc
curity council at Lake Success.
In the name of politics, congress
is handing the President control
bill SO fraught with restrictions as
to make it nigh impossible at ad-
ministration, As this. is written,
there was conjecture as to wheth-
er or not the President would ac-
cept the measure. At the same
time. the cong; ess made no secret
of its haste to pass the draft law
and to get men into military serv-
ice as fast as possible. It was
averse to drafting dollars, business
and industry to pay the price in a
comprehensive tax bill.
The senate changed radically the
controls bill passed by the house,
acting on several OF scores of
the President in administering the

Brlcker OF OHIO makes 1t manda-
tory on the part Of the President to
control wages and prices in all in
dustries and on all commodities if
he deems it necessary to control in
one industry or one commodity. In
other words. if the President. and
his advisors believed it necessary
to control prices on soy beans or
automobile wheels to prevent infla-
ton or runaway prices on those two
items. it would be necessary for
him t. institute price and wage con-
trolls on everything. Another anti
