NOtOrnlS.

Recently, many bird lovers be-
came quite excited .over the redis-
covery of the notornis or takahe
of New Zealand, a bulky. fightless
though not wingless bird that has
not been heard of for so years.
About 100 years ago, skull, some
feathers and bones were found in
the post glacial deposits of North
Island, New Zealand. These relics
now rest in the security of the
British Museum.
The takahe is large rail or
gallinule clothed in amazingly bril-
liant silky plumage of indigo, blue
and green. Of-setting this display
of vivid color is the great bill of
gaudy red and the long legs and
feet of bright crimson. The bird
has large intelligent eyes totally
devoid of fear and but mildly inter-
ested in what goes on about it.
Among rail birds it is their family
tradition to populate distant oceanic
islands, even tiny ones,
The homeland of the takahe is in
the glacial valleys covered with
coarse grasses and forbidding wiry
scrub that offers scanty rations for
the vegetatarians. However, the
bird has been successful in holding
his own. He has been stripping a
stalk of snow-grass from base to
tip by running his beak along the
item, shearing off everything in
;luding the cluster of flowers. He
uses his big feet to collect "a bundle
IF sedges which he anchors to the
ground while he uses his beak for
grubbing hoe so he can enjoy
the tender succulent root. He also
snips off, one by one the thorny
leaves of the Bloody Spaniard plant.
There is not much life for browsing,
but he keeps the place clean.
The ground-built nests, eggs and
black downy chicks were discovered
during January, or New Zealand's s
midsummer of 1948. It Is the Gus

and pronunciation of the word

A. Porte-cochere is French and
means gate for coaches, j. e., a
large gate for admitting carriages
into courtyard. In American usage
a porte -cochere is a carriage porch
"a porch under which a carriage

"all right is always two words" He

A.. I have never recommended
alright" or alright" For years I
have stated in this column that "all
right" is properly two words. The

A man is awaiting sentence in
District Court on charges he re-
fused to be inducted into military
service and refused to take q men,

of the Selective Service Act OF
194S.
The defendant is Holt F. Will
kerson, jr., rs, colored. of the 1000
block Of Forty second street NE.
rooming house operator.
He denied he had refused to be
inducted. He said he had taken
the mental classification test to
the best of his ability but con-
tended he was unable to complete
it because of his mentality being
disturbed"
Wilkerson said the charges
grew out of his objection to racial
segregation in the service.
Il was not in accord with segre-
CATION" he testified.
Wilkerson further testified that
difficulty arose over the question
OF him signing a loyalty certif1-
cate" He said he had told the
authorities at the induction Office
he would sign the certificate but
wouldn't stand behind 1t" be-
cause of his opposition to segre-
cation in the military service.
Wilkerson was prosecuted by

ID. B.
A. Right you are. The pronouns
make the sentence ambiguous. AS

Cleveland: On a recent broadcast
Fulton Lewis, jr., pronounced the

F. N. L.
A. Indices, the plural of index, is
correctly pronounced IN-di-seez, as
Mr.. Lewis gave it. However, the Gus
tomary plural nowadays is: indexes
Most of the old Latin plural forms
have become obsolete except in very
learned usage. "Stadiums" is prefer

preferred to "soli";; "vacuums" Ii
preferred to "vacua";; ''octopuses'

Rise in AirmaiI Pay
Advised if u. 5. Make,
Subsidies Separate
BY the Assoeiafed Press

A firm of private accountants
today advised the Senate Com.
merce Committee that any separa.
tion OF airmail pay from subsidy
should be accompanied by an in.
crease in the mail pay.
The firm, Ernst & Ernst of New
York, was employed by the com.
mittee-which has been lookine
into airline f1nances-to make Q
pilot" study of the airmail pay
problem.
Under the 1898 Civil Aero.
nautics Act, the airmail rate sci
by the Civil Aeronautics Board
covers not only pay for carrying
mail, but also for other services
deemed in the interests of United
States air transportation and ma
tional defense. The Post Office
Department now foots the entire
bill.
President Truman in his budget
message recommended the separa-
ton of subsidy payments from
actual compensation for carrying
mail.
Chairman johnson of the COM
mittee said that airmail payments
reached $4,000, 900 during the
1949 calendar year, and were ex-
pected to show substantial in
crease" this year.
Ernst 81 Ernst recommended
that;
/. Fair and reasonable rates for
the transportation\ of airmail
should bear definite relationship
to revenue from passenger trans
portation.
2. The amounts of subsidy pay
ments should be based upon the
operating effectiveness and spe-
cif1c requirements of the indivi-
dual carriers. Such funds should
be paid from specific appropria-
tions.
8. The present domestic route
pattern for airlines should be
studied with the view toward pos
sible elimination or consolidation
Of certain routes which now have
excessive competition.

Goren on Bridoe

In tournament play, where each
hand constitutes match, the dog
fights for part-scores are at times
quite vigorously waged and un-
natural methods are frequently
employed to push the enemy up to
q contract they may not be able
to fulfill. An interesting case is
here recorded from recent cham
pionship tournament.
My partner, Helen Sobel, held
the South hand and passed on the
first round, as had also East, the
dealer. West, in third position, had
an indicated opening, but why he
chose to bid one heart rather than
q spade, do not know. At the con-
clusion of the deal his humor was
such that I did not consider it
tactful to inquire. The take-out
double by North was more or less
routine and East decided to make
- 1t difficult by bidding two hearts.
Mrs. Sobel felt that if she took no
action her partner would be un-
able to carry on the contest in the
face of her previous pass, in which
she was quite right.
If she could manage to get the
opposition up to nine-trick con-
tract she might be able to inf1ict
some damage upon them. She,
therefore, made the daring bid Of
two spades, hoping (as was not
unlikely that partner held four
of the suit. West was satisfied
with the bid, but did not feel in
clined to double, since partner had
shown no particular strength.
North passed and East decided not
to give up the fight. He went on
to one more heart.
We do not admire this Judgment
in the matter, and his bid is all the
more reprehensible for his lack of
four trumps. His reasoning was
that he did not feel that his side
held the necessary defense against
our spade contract. (He never
dreamed that his partner held four
spades) and he hoped to get by
undoubled in the heart contract.
Mrs. Sobel promptly doubled, for
two reasons. First, because she
felt that the holding of two kings
and four trumps, opposite a part
ner who was able to make take
out double, gave her reasonable
assurance that the adverse con-
tract would be defeated, and, Sec
ondly, to make quite sure that
partner would not be tempted to
compete any further in spades.
The contract was defeated for a
score of 100 points, which proved
to be the best score attained with
the North and South cards.

Coach Reprilnanded
For Locking Cadets in
Room, Corning Says

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
today confirmed reports that a
football coach locked Anacostia
High School cadets in a room when
they interfered with taping of his
team before a football game last
fall.
Gilbert Conn, football coach at
Coolidge High School, was the
coach involved in the incident.
DR.. Corning said Mr.. Conn had
taken his team to Anacostia for
q game. Team members were be-
ing taped up in a corridor of the
school, the only locker room IA
cilities available to the visiting
team.
Action Called '1ndiscreet."
Anacostia cadets, who had been
drilling in the armory, attempted
to leave by way of the corridor.
Mr.. Conn then locked the door,
confining the cadets in the ar
mory until the football players
were finished.
DR.. Corning said when the in
cident came to his attention he
called in Mr.. Conn and investi-
gated the whole situation. A rep
rimand was issued to Mr.. Conn,
DR.. CORNING stated, and the mat
ter was closed.
"The action of the coach was a
very foolish thing and very indis-
Greet" DR.. Corning commented.
Adelbert w. Lee, Board of Edu-
cation member, was quoted as cit
ing this incident as an example of
interference by the athletic de-
partments of the high schools
with the cadet program. He also
is reported to have accused DR..
Corning of failing to give a true
picture Of the cadet situation in
a letter sent to board members
earlier this week.

worth noting that 1915 was about
