Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby
Again "SpOdnfulS."

1t is hard to understand why so
many people are uncertain about
the "spoonful-spoonfuls" construc-
ton. There is nothing difficult
about it; yet scarcely a day goes
by that doesn't bring in a question
such as: Il have been told that it.
is incorrect to say, I have drunk
three cups full of coffee Can you
explain why?"
First of all, you may drink the
cups empty, but you cannot drink
them full. Three cups full of
coffee" designates three different
cups, each of which is full. The
proper word to US is cupfuls.
A cupful is word of measure
ment or capacity and designates
the amount of anything that will
I'LL cup, as a cupful of coffee or
sugar or flour or milk.
Likewise. spoonful is the amount
that a spoon will hold. Recipes
read, three teaspoonfuls of salt,
not three teaspoons full of salt"
Let's look at it this way: Here
is coffee pot. It's capacity is eight
cupfuls OF coffee. We put in eight
tablespoonfuls of coffee and eight
cupfuls of water. When the coffee
is ready we dhree of u.s. each
drink two cupfuls of coffee, leaving
two cupfuls in the pot. (We cannot
say, leaving two cups full of coffee
in the pot" for one doesn't put
cups, full or empty, in a coffee pot
There are many other full words
which obey the same law of logic:
armfuls of flowers, handfuls of sand
roomfuls of people. shelffuls of
books, etc.
In short, we should think of such
words as cupfuls as units of meas
ure, like the words carload and
shipload. We speak of three car
loads of apples mot three cars
load'o, several shiploads of troops
(not ships loadD.
or course, We may have three
cups full of coffee, but by that we
mean three separate cups, each fun
OF coffee. This would leave five
cupfuls in our imaginary pot, the
capacity of which, remember, Is
eight cupfuls.

After reaching the halfway
mark of the Twentieth Century
it seems indeed proper and neces-
sary to review briefly the pro-
gress made by the American Ne
gro in these so years and to there
by hint things to come.
The new Goth century found
the American Negro a tottering
infant with a mere 81 years OF
freedom behind him. 1t found him
being rooted gradually from the
high positions of government to
which he had risen during the
turbulent and unstable Recon-
struction era.
Violence was the order of the
day and atrocities against him had
reached an all-time high despite
his valor in battle at San Juan
hill and Santiago under Teddy
Roosevelt during the Spanish-Am-
erican war.
In this year, the coincidence
was most befitting in that during
the blood-stained struggles, James
Weldon Johnson, a Florida law
yer, and his brother, J. Rosamond
johnson, a musician, wrote Lift
Every Voice and Sing". This is
commonly called the National
Negro Anthem"
The most celebrated act Of vi
olence this year of 1900 was the
Sam Hope lynching in New Or
leans.
1901; Booker T. Washington
received the Doctor of Laws De-
gree at Dartmouth.
Granville T. Woods. invented an
electrical air brake which is being
used today on modern railroads.
He also perfected a telegraph sys-
tenn which made it possible to
send messages from one moving
train to another.
1902: Joe Cans became the
lightweight boxing champion of
the world.
Joe Walcott became weller
weight champion.
1905: The Niagara Movement
for Negro rights met at Niagara
Falls.

The National Gallery Orchestra
gave its first performance Of the
season in the Gallery's East Gar
den Court last night and from the
size of the audience, it would seeru
that the orchestra's concerts are
among the most popular of the Sc
ries. This is due to Richard Bales
careful program planning as we.I
as the polished results he gains
from his musicians. There could
be no other explanation of the
rapt attention given to over an
hour and a half of music without
benefit of advertised soloist or new
work.
What came closest to being a
new work was the first hearing
in it's entity of Handel'S "The
Royal Water Music" The 20 Sec
tions last as long as symphony
and no one has had the courage
or the interest to present them
all in Washington before. Usu-
ally six excerpts are given, prefer
ably in Sir Hamilton Harty's
transcription, although Eugene
Ormandy has made one which
the Philadelphia Orchestra played
for the first time here some four
years ago.
The shortened versions give
only a faint idea Of the varied
charm Of the entire composition
Since it was written for King
George I as accompaniment of a
days pleasure trip on the Thames,
| it is light in character and i'm
bued in every section with q
wealth of the specific quality OF
Handel's melodic and rhythmic
gift. Yet in the framework OF
dances and airs, following one
upon the other, there is such rich
ness Of invention and charm OF
treatment as has seldom been
equaled. The four Minuets scat
tered through 1t. the Hornpipes
Airs and Gigues alone amaze with
the play of fancy and the indi-
viduality Of treatment.
The writing for the woodwinds
is especially exquisite and the
spirited music given the horns
forms a brilliant contrast to the
sweeter and more delicate meas
ures for the strings. The COM
poser's dramatic sense is also In
evidence In the plan of the work
which is more spacious in the
Overture and the next nine num-
bers, growing shorter in form and
gayer in concept toward the con-
clusion and thus retaining inter-
est to the end. The orchestra
played it with great skill. each
of the sections of this small group
acquitting itself admirably. A
more pronounced variety of tempt
might have been used but in
other respects. Mr.. Bales reading
was embellished with marked in

The program was in keeping

less it is timely. For we are in
the midst of another industrial
mobilization when, as has been
demonstrated before. giant cor
porations seize the opportunity to
gobble up smaller, independent
businesses. That has happened
at an alarming rate since the Sec
ond World War.
The Clayton Act was put on
the books during the Woodrow
Wilson administration to strength
en- the earlier 1890 Sherman Anti
trust Act. But smart corpora
ton lawyers quickly found q way
around its section Z which pro-
hibited purchase Of stock Of one
company by another where that
would be monopolistic in effect.
They invented. instead. the de-
vice Of merger through purchase
Of assets. a procedure upheld by
the Supreme Court. Presidents
Hoover, Roosevelt and Truman
have urged closing Of this loop
hole.
Assets Purchase Banned.
That now has been done by
banning merger through assets
purchase in the Kefauver- 0 Ma
honey bill passed by the Senate
this week, SIS to %. It passed
the House previously and. after
adjustment of differences between
House and Senate forms. the
measure will go to President Tru-
man for his signature.
Monopoly is generally regarded
as dull subject with little in
terest for the average citizen. To
the contrary, it is of very close
and vital interest to him. Monop-
oily closes the door to individual
enterprise and initiative so char
acteristic of our people. Those
qualities have made ours a thriv-
ing industrial democracy which
must go hand in hand with po-
litical democracy. Monopoly par
alyzes them. Monopoly reaches
down to all of us, for it affects
the cost and quality of the prod
ucts we all use.
There is a still more insidious
danger which is directly involved
in the crisis our democracy faces
today in the challenge of total
itarianism. This is the power in
dustrial and financial monopoly
confers on a few in our society.
Historically such power always
has been used to control the poll
tical government and if the trend
in concentration continues our
nation will surely sink into some
form of Observation-Disclosures, So
cialism Or communism, as Sena-
tor O'Conor, Democrat of Mary
land, put it during Senate debate.
Aiken Defines Danger.
This danger was also defined
very aptly during the debate by
Senator Aiken, Republican of
Vermont, in posing the question as
to why it is important to prevent
concentration of business in a few
hands. He answered:

Almost Too Late
Loophole in Clayton Anti. Trust Act
Closed at Long Last by Congress

"It is important for the same
reason that it is important to pre-
vent the concentration of political
power. The United States already
has gone too far along both
roads,"
He pointed out that we are
fighting today for the survival of
democracy. We have kept our
position as the citadel of democ-
racy, he said, because Gin this
country more opportunities were
open to more persons than any
where else on earth" Other ma
tons have gone the totalitarian
way because opportunity has been
vested in the hands of few. The
only way we can defeat Commu-
nism. he explained, is by example
by making democracy work here,
If, he said, I'VE permit economic
monopolies to be formed and per-
NIT the concentration of power in
the hands of a few, with a re-
sultant economic dependence on
the part of the many, we shall
have failed to maintain oul
example of democracy before the
world"

This would pave the way for plac-
ing behind the Iron Curtain other
countries such as Thailand,
Burma and Malaga without firing

the conquest of Tibet. would place
India in a very difficult position
and might force her to accept

the New Delhi government likes

Defense Still Blueprint.
The situation in Europe is not
improved, although no immediate
Soviet military action is expected.
1t may not come before next
spring, but still long before the
cumbersome Atlantic pact mill
tary machinery can be set in mo-
ton. For the time being, Euro
pean defense forces exist merely
as a blueprint, which cannot be
carried much closer to execution
even after Gen. Eisenhower is
appointed commander in chief.
There is pathetic lethargy in
France and in the Benelux coun-
tries as far as the pressing need
for rearmament is concerned.
This is due not only to a lack of
manpower but to psychological
considerations. The Western Euro
peans are still weary from the last
war and also have been greatly
affected by the reverses of United
Nations forces in Korea.
The rank and file appear to
have no more confidence in the
United Nations, except as a de-
batting society, than they had in
the League of Nations. Soviet
tactics at Lake Success have sue
ceeded in shaking the reliance of
Europe's masses on that peace
organization and have inspired
genuine fear of Russia's military
capabilities.
western German manpOWer,
which could have greatly strength
ened the shaky European defense
wall, now has become question
able source of help.
The attitude Of the French gov
eminent, which insisted that only
small units-not exceeding 1000
men-be Incorporated into a poly
glot army. has changed the situa-
ton radically. The Germans now
insist on full political equality.
Meanwhile, the delay has been
costly. It is doubtful that the
Russians would have started a
war in Europe because of German
rearmament. Now, when they
are flushed with victory in Asia,
they are likely to launch the we'll
organized East German army if
a definite decision to arm Western
Germany is Enthusiastically.

gesture" such as the President
seemed to have in mind, was far
short of our actual needs.
The situation in Asia. where
we are engaged in a shooting war,
is bad. While we have, at best
only a handful of reinforcements
for our troops there. the Chinese
have vast forces. which can be
backed at any time by Is Soviet
divisions.
Restrictions on Bombing,
Not only are United Nations
forces outnumbered, but the re-
strictions imposed on their air
forces, which are superior to those
of the enemy, prevent the bomb
ing of strategic centers and the
military arsenals in Manchuria,
thus reducing considerably the
effectiveness of our main point of
superiority in the Korean war.
Even the large increase in the
American ground forces. which
Mr.. Truman intends to carry out
as soon as possible, can be of no
immediate assistance to our
forces. The present policy of the
administration is to reinforce i'm
mediately the very weak European
defenses with whatever forces can
be made available from the United
States. There are no plans, it
is said, to send further impor-
tant reinforcements to Gen. Mac
Arthur.
While the best Russian and
Chinese troops are concentrated
in the general area of Manchuria,
there are important forces gath
cred in the south. These may be
thrown in any time after the first
of the year to deliver a death
blow to the French in Indo-C China.

weeks ago it leaked from an in
formal committee of Senators
Kerr, johnson of Colorado and
johnson of Texas, that the con-
servatives had 80 votes for Nc
Farland lined up.
The Fair Dealers dispute this
claim. The 16 who met Wednes-
day include Senators Leahy, Leh-
man, Douglas. Hunt, O'Mahoney,
Anderson, Mcmahon, Benton, Kill
gore, Nicely. Murray, Kefauver

firing but Governor Pastore of
Rhode Island, who succeeds him
can be counted on to back
O'Mahoney. So can Senator
Humphrey of Minnesota, who Is

The group anticipate support
also among such middleroaders as

Some Democrats would be con-
tent with some such compromise
as Republicans adopted when Sen
ator McNary of Oregon, their
accomplished leader, died and
they were stuck with the mild
but well-liked Wallace White. It
is to divide responsibility between
a floor leader and policy and con-

in sight.
