1t Is unfortunate that the term
reverse" in modern contract bid
ding has gained such wide currency.
For the very use of that term has
led to confusion of ideas. Reduced
to simple terms: The bid OF higher
ranking suit after a lower ranking
has previously been shown (such as
bidding hearts first and then nam
ing spades, or as in the above ex-
ample, bidding clubs first and then
diamonds) is technically known as
reverse" Why? I do not know.
However, it must be agreed that
such a sequence of bids should de-
note strong hand for the simple
reason that a high level of bidding
is automatically reached in this
manner. When partner opens with
one club and subsequently bids dia-
monds, you are to presume, not only
that he has five clubs and four
diamonds, but that he also has a
powerful hand, since a preference
for his first suit will require your
bidding at the level of three clubs.
That is to say, it will be impossible
for you to return to two clubs.
Instead of resorting to the mis-
leading term reverse" it would be
sounder policy to state, "Any time
you manage to get the bidding up
to three of something or other, you
ought to have a very fine hand"
If you haven't, you ought to delib-
erately deceive partner as to the
exact number of cards in each suit
in order to keep the bidding at an
economical level. So that holding,
A AK95, 2KJ953, 164, %52, it
is better to open the bidding with
one spade (pretending that you have
only four hearts, so that the hearts
may be shown at the range of two
and preference made by partner
at that level.
North of today recognized what
an enormous hand he held opposite
partner who could afford to bid
one club and then two diamonds.
(Such sequence denotes holding
Of at least four honor tricks or more
specifically 10 points, He, therefore,
indicated his enthusiasm by a size
able leap. South realizing that he
was not subject to the immediate
loss of two spade tricks went on
to slam.

Pronunciation Clinic.

The word prototype pronounced: !:
PROE-tuh-type) is being grossly
misused by many writers. Prototype
means, "the original or model after
which anything is formed" It Is
from the Greek protos, 'first;
original" plus typos, type; model. .
Prototype does not and cannot
mean copy, duplicate, imitator,
counterpart" Nor does it mean "a
person who closely resembles or who
copies another"
But note these misuses: A woman
columnist described the youths at
the Wallace convention as 'proto-
types of the Nazi leaders"
A commentator spoke of child
who had left her parents ''to join
her little prototypes at the play
ground"
A press association writer states:
'Today's planes are modern proto-
types of the Wright brothers
original Kittyhawk airplane."
1t seems to me that these writer's
are going to a lot of trouble to be
wrong.
Quintuplet is singular noun
meaning lone of five" In speaking
of five girls, say: Dionne quintup-

How is quintuplets pronounced?
Modern dictionaries give us six
choices: KWTN-tyoo-plits; KWIN-
too-plits; KWIN-tuh-plits; kwin-
TOO-plits; kwin- n-TYOO-plits; kwin-
TUP-lits.
The last is the popular pronuneia-
tion, but for broadcasting and public
speaking, recommend either
kwin-TOO-plits or kwin-TYOO-
pitts.

any other such event.
1t is not clear how the widespread
nlispronunciation "pro-grum" came
about. It may have resulted from
the French spelling progromme,
which once was the preferred
English spelling. Some one may
have had the idea that the French
pronunciation is "pro-grum." But
of course that is not the case. The
French say: praw-GRAM.
In all words of the gram family,
anagram, diagram, epigram, mono
gram, ETC., and the word gram it
self, the "a" Is fiat as in dam, ham,
ram.
"Tele-gr,lm" was once as preva-
lent as "pro-grum." But, happily, it
is on the way out, although it is
still more or less customary among
the lassies of the Western Union
who telephone to say that they have
"tele-grum" for you-very elegant,
and very erroneous.

House Leader Says Meas.
ure Could Lead 10 Loss
Of 2-Party System

WASHINGTON, July II - Up -
The House today killed a proposal
to abolish the electoral college and
to revamp the machinery by which
the nation has named its Presidents
for $50 years.
The resolution got only 1874 favor
able votes on a roll call to 210
against-not even a majority 1t
would have needed a thirds
vote for adoption.
The House gave it Sc votes less
than that.
1t turned down a Senate passed
resolution that would have sub
mitted to the states constitutional
amendment doing away with the
electoral college system and substi-
tuting one based on proportionate
division of the popular vote.
House Republican Leader Martin
of Massachusetts assailed the pro-
posal as "a political Pandora's boy"
Instead of simplifying the election
system, Martin commended the
change would encourage splinter
parties, give the Deep South the bal
ance of power in Presidential cleo
tons, and could lead to the loss Of
our two-party system of govern
ment."

the message nor the report to the
people has been completed yet.

situation, explaining all steps that

SECOND DRAFT CALL
FOR VETS, FAMILY
men, NOW COOKING

WASHINGTON, July II - R -
Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey. ST.
ective Service chief, is reported to
be looking for second draft call
next month.
He also was quoted today as
anticipating a need for more sweep
ing draft regulations affecting vec-
Grams, husbands and fathers.
Most veterans and men with de
pendents were exempt from the
first draft call for 10000 men tc
build up the Army in the Korean
crisis.
Hershey's views on possible fu-
ture, draft moves were given to a
reporter by 1t. Col. Irving w. Hart,
Selective Service information chief
in response to queries. Hershey
himself was reported unavailable.
Hart said Hershey has told aiScs
several times that he sees no rea-
son to believe that there will not
be second draft call next month.
The general also has said sew
eral times that a more sweeping
draft law may be needed" Hart
said.
The Army has said that it has

call, but has emphasized that con-
ditions are subject to quick change.

mo TAXES WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION" IS
0UTM0DED MAXIM
Query Into Alaska Income
Tax Choked by LegeI
PreCedents

The challenge put forth last
month by Deputy Auditor Neil
Moore that Alaskans shouldn't be
required to pay income taxes to the
federal government because they've
no voice in that government, has
been partially choked by deluge
of excerpts from law cases quoted by
the legislative reference service
from the American Law Section in
Washington, DC.
The bulk of this mass of evidence,
dug up at instance of Delegate E.
L. Bartlett, with whom Moore cor
responded on the subject, flies in
the face of the old maxim mo tax
alton without representation.
In fact, the Supreme Court itself
declared, in 1922, when the District
of Columbia was challenged on the
requirement that its residents pay
taxes when they had no voice about
where the money was going:
There is no constitutional pro-
vision which so limits the power of
Congress that taxes can be imposed
only upon those who have political
representation"
Moore based his contention that
income taxes should be declared
void in the Territory because of no
vote in Congress and brought up the
case of Puerto Rico. an ur.organized
territory, whose residents pay no
taxes.
Only solution to this, declared
Bartlett, is to "disorganize" or "un-
incorporate" Alaska-but he said
fatty that before any efforts of
that nature came up, the people
here better look for another dele
gate. '@A
Incorporation of Territory
makes it an integral part of the
United States, according to what
the lawmakers figure, whereas
Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands
simply belong" to the nation.
But then again, there's the case
of Alaska VS. Troy, heard in the
early 20's, in which the Supreme
Court held that Alaska was ex-
cluded from the States" as such.
But here they weren't referring to
taxation, but to foreign shipping en-
tering northern ports.
Maxim Only Slogan
Now, with the weight of evidence
against him from other cases, Moore
bases his contention on this case
that income taxes are an outlaw
statute here.
Moore found that the so-called
"tried and true" maxim over whiG..
our forefathers fought revolution
no taxation without representa-
tion-has been kicked around by
the courts more than somewhat.
Actually, this maxim is merely a

'5TATEH00D Bill
HAS SMALL CHANCE
WITH KOREAN WAR

WASHINGTON, July II - R -
The outlook for pending western
bills in Congress is not good unless
it decides TO continue regular bust
ness indefinitely due to the Korean
situation.
If 1t takes a summer recess, as
has been proposed, or stays in
session under agreement that nc
controversial measures will be con-
sidered without absent members
having a chance to get back for the
debate and vote, there is lie
likelihood there will be any action
on western bills not passed before
the rest period starts.
Among the pending measures are
the Alaska and Hawaii statehood
bills, amendments to the reclama-
ton act; and mine aid legislation
Present prospects are that the
Senate can complete action on the
general appropriations bill by the
end of this week.
But Congress still can't quit until
an agreement has been reached
with the House on the Senate
changes in the bill.
That means Congress will work
regularly for at least a week.
1t is expected that an effort will
be made in the Senate to bring up
The statehood bills during the last
week of July. But discussion there
last Friday indicated there will
be opposition to anything but de-
