Inspector Miller Gets

Inspector Arthur E. Miller, as
sistant superintendent of police
and nationally known traffic ex-

has been ordered to appear Tues

A veteran of 81 years on the

suffering from back ailment.
He has been on sick leave for the
last three weeks.
If his retirement is recommend

He founded the accident in

organized the program of selec-

DC. Civil Defense Bill
May GET Approval Of
Congress This Week
By Harold B. ROGERS

The urgent bill to establish q
District Office of Civil Defense
may clear Congress this week
and go to the White House.
Already passed by the House,
the measure was amended by the
Senate, and now awaits Houes
action on the Senate changes.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee is out OF
the city over the weekend, but
probably will take steps to speed
the legislation as soon as he re-
turns.
William N. Mcleod, committee
clerk, said Mr.. Mcmillan plans
to discuss with District Committee
leaders proposal that the House
agree to Senate amendments, in
stead of sending the measure tt
conference.
/ II agreement is reached on thi.
procedure, Mr.. Mcmillan coulc
ask for unanimous consent to cal
up the amended bill early thi.
week for House approval. If the
House should pass it, the measure
would go to the White House.
Loyalty Screening Provided.
Senate amendments. inserted on
motion of Senator Wherry, Repub-
lican, Of Nebraska, provide that
personnel of the new defense
agency should be screened by the
FBI for loyalty, and should come
from the Civil Service registers,
The House bill provided they could
be appointed without regard to
civil service.
Other Senate-passed bills, pre-
viously approved by the House
may be called up by Mr.. Mcmillan
for agreement with Senate
amendments.
Among them is one to place
Metropolitan, White House, and
Park Police forces on a five-day
week. This would require addi-
ton of 800 more Metropolitan
police, and cost about 5000, 900 for
the local force.
Other House Bills.
Other House bills recently
amended by the Senate which may
come up for final approval by
the House would: Establish a
District Surplus property agency
to handle materials for educa-
tional institutions here; provide
mutual aid for fire protection be-
tween the District and nearby
areas; and permit Col. Harvey l..
Miller to draw pay as a retired
marine officer and also as a mem
ber of the Boxing Commission;
and authorize appointment of a
retired police officer-Ipspector
Clarence Talley to serve on that
commission.
Legislation to liberalize the milk
laws of the District was consid-
cred in executive session late last
week by House District subcom-
mlttee. Further study will be
given at another meeting tenta-
lively set for August 8. Repre-
sentative Miller. Republican, of
Nebraska, sponsor of one of the
measures. will be out of the city
until that date.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Abernethy, Demo-
crat. of Mississippi, also is con-
tinuing consideration of a Senate
passed bill to enlarge the mem
bership and powers of the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning

In the year 1910 a famous man
died in Russia. He was Count Leo
Tolstoy, and he holds place among
the great authors Of all time. His
books have been printed in many
countries, and millions Of persons
have read his words.
1t might be said that Tolstoy was
a strange man. At least some of
his deeds, as well as many of words,
seemed strange to the outside world.
Tolstoy was born 122 years ago in
a village south of Moscow. His
father owned the village-all the
houses in it and the farms around
it. In a sense he owned the people
who lived there, since they were
"serfs"-orly a grade or two above
the position Of slaves.
While he was still an infant,
Leo lost his mother. At the age of
9, his father died, leaving COM
pletely an orphan. He had three
older brothers, however, also sis
ter. The children were left in care
of two women, both of whom they
called aunts. One of the women,
Aunt Tatinia," was only a distant
relative, but she was important in
Leo's life. Later he said Of her:

@. Will you please put the words

A. Commentator Lewis Gas well as
several other broadcasters) imagines
that he is using a very correct
pronunciation when he ends such
words as auspices and premises
with the sound of "eez" The truth
is, however, the "eez" is quite
wrong, and no authority sane
tions it.
The "eez'' INSTRUMENTATION is
the result of confusion, as I have
pointed out before. Here Is how 1t

erroneous "eez'' pronunciation came
about:
During the early days of World
War II, some radio commentator
began referring ignorantly to mill
tary BAY-seez," and naval BAY
seez." Other commentators, as
they are won't to do, quickly fol-
lowed suit. And before long we
began hearing "eeZ" at the end of
all such words as auspices, premises,
faces, places, and so on.
The plural of base is bases, pro-
nounced BAY-siz. The plural of
basis is also bases, and the pro-
nuciation is: BAY-seez. BY con-
fusing the two words, the plural
Of base took on the erroneous "eez''
pronunciation, which quickly
spread to other words In which it

"It was she who taught me. while
I was yet in my childhood, the
moral JOY of love-"
The four Tolstoy boys spent much
of their time together. Tutors were
employed to teach them, but they
had many free hours. They formed
a little club which they called the
ANT Brothers"
Nicolai, the oldest of the four,
wrote "the secret of the club" on
a green stick, and the stick was
buried in the ground. The idea Of
the club was that II people would
come together as brothers, there
would be peace and golden age.
Life was to take Leo to many
hard places, including scenes Of
war, but he ever remembered the
green stick. Shortly before his
death, he asked that he should be
buried "at the place OF the green
stick" Tears came to his eyes
when he told his secretary to make
a note OF this request.
