think the statement has been too
long delayed"
Tn joint committee, headed by
Senator Mcmahon, Democrat, of
Connecticut, has met recently
with Gen. Omar Bradley, chair
man of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
and with others.
Issue Raised by Truman.
Renewed discussion of the hy-
drogen bomb was set off Friday
by President Truman at his news
conference. At that time he made
his first public acknowledgment
that the bomb was under con-
sideration in saying that it was
decision he would make.
Harold Russell, national COM
nfander of Amvets, an organiza-
ton of World War II veterans, en-
tered the dispute over whether
the weapon should be made with
letter to Mr.. Truman calling on
him ito approve without delay
the construction of the hydrogen
hell bomb"
Despite the grave questions of
morality involved-and We deeply
sympathize with you in this dilem-
ma-we believe that any other de-
cision, however merciful and hu-
manitarian, would be inconsistent
with the brutal facts of interna-
tional life today.
ANY other decision would be an
act of delayed surrender by the
United States"
State Department Attitude Cited.
Mr., Russell, who lost both arms
during the war, called attention to
reports that some State Department
leaders are said to side with scien-
fists opposing the construction of
the bomb.
eve urge you to brush aside such
viewpoints, if they do indeed exist, "
Mr.. Russell wrote. 1.-THE confidence
of the people in the judgment of
some State Department leaders has
already been badly shaken by some
recent ill-advised remarks which
tend to cast a deep shadow of public
doubt on some of our policies"
He did not specify what the re-
marks were.
From the Rev. Francis j. Hey
den, S. j., director of Georgetown
University's Astronomical Observ-
atory, came a warning that a hy-
drogen bomb, if developed, must
not be used in indiscriminate
bombing of innocent people. He
spoke in a radio broadcast on

Possible Manufacturer of a Hy-
ldrogen Bomb"

at the State administration.
The occasion was the biennial
session Of the Virginia General
Assembly in the restored capitol

Mr.. Tunstall compared the re-
lationship of the localities to the
State as somewhat akin to the
relationship between the States
and the Federal Government.
Then, he said:
"In government as elsewhere, it
is true that he who pays the piper

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Jan. %.
Has Gov. Battle gone too far in
Offering $45, 100000 as an outright
gift to Virginia localities for
school construction?
That is the question left in the
minds of Old Dominion legislators
who came here to commemorate
the first session of this Nations S
Oldest legislative body.
Robert B. Tunstall of Norfolk, a
prominent Virginia attorney and
former vice president of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railway, told
the members of the 1850 General
Assembly:
GAS a general principle of legis-
lation, cannot think it helpful to
the State to bear the burden that
should be assumed by the Iocali-
ties ."
From the standpoint of the
localities themselves, I believe it
inevitable that just so far as this
Evening star., 1950-01-29

thousands of other jobs are af-
forded by the highway and street
systems. Eighty per cent of the
rubber, rs per cent of the plate
glass and half of the malleable
iron produced by the Nation, he
said is consumed by the auto and
truck industry. About $4,000 mo-
tells and restaurants are dependent
on highway traffic. The vacation
travel income of the country was
estimated to exceed SO, 500, 900 600.
Imitation has caused the need
for more dollars today to do the
same amount of work that could
have been performed in prewar
years, the report explained.
In terms of the 1880 highway
construction dollar, the report ex-
planned, the 1948 dollar was worth
only 54 cents. An added drag to
highway progress, it added, has
been that relatively lesser amounts
have been provided for highway
construction in ratio to dollars
spent for new vehicles. This was
placed at 81 cents out of every
dollar for new vehicles in prewar
years but was found to have drop
ped TO less than 27 cents in the
last four years.

This message came to members
of the General Assembly, in the
presence of Gov. Battle, as they
tuSsled with the problem of what
to do about the Governors cam
paign promises of last year.
He vowed, and bills have been
introduced to carry out his word,
to distribute $45,0Oo,OOO as an
outright gift to all of the counties
and cities of the commonwealth
for school construction.
His plan already has met op-
position. State Senator E. o. Nc
Cue, jr., of Charlottesville, who
succeeded Mr.. Battle in the State
Senate, said that the localities
should match the State funds by
putting up 40 cents for every dol
lar received. State Senator Gar
land Gray of Waverly, has said
the localities should match the
State funds on a $3.50 basis.

Men are invading the dietetic
profession, but it's really not a
battle of the sexes, says Gerald
Ramsey. 33-year-old head dieti-
tian at Southern Methodist Uni

Mr.. Ramsey, one of about 10

for the groups 33d annual meet
ing in the Hotel Statler and the

Mr.. Ramsey, naturally enough,
was a mess sergeant in the Army
during World War II. After he
was discharged, he met young
dietitian who could cook better
than he could. So he married
her.
Mr.. Ramsey agrees with the

diets.
Get away from these starva-
ton diets" he says. Eat bal
anced meals, and if you're over
weight because of eating too
much. just cut down the ex-

A question which interests me
appears in a letter from R. H.
Ruddell:
Have you any information on
the seven new wonders OF the
world?"
Before I try to answer that cues
ton. let us look back little into
the start of the seven wonders
idea. In ancient times people gained
the idea that the number '7'' had
something special about it. There
were many, indeed, who supposed
that it was magical, and even now
we hear persons speak of good for
tune.
That seems to have been the rea-
son for picking out seven wonders
in ancient times. The list of those
wonders might have been shorter
or longer. People differed some
what as to which wonders should
be included in the seven. There was
general agreement, however, on the
Pyramids of Egypt, the Hanging
Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus

"Spick and -Span?"

@. Spick- -and-span means meat
and trim; but where did we get
such an expression?
A. We shall have to 60 back a
long way in the language to uncover
the origin. First of all, spick-and-
span is shortened form of spick-
and-span-new.
Spick is an old-fashioned spelling
of spike, the original meaning Of
which was "a wooden nail Span
new in middle English meant "a
new chip" Spick-and-span-new,
then, suggests the cleanness and
freshness of newly whitfield peg
and of new chip.
In Anglo-Saxon it was customary
to use fresh chips as spoons. The
Anglo Saxon word for spoon was
spon. But the primary meaning Of
spon was "a chip of wood" From
spon we have the words spoon,
IAN implement used in cooking and
eating" and span. "a chip Of wood.

A. One theory is that haberdash-

in the 18th century. Another theory
is that it is from the Icelandic word

haberdasher is obsolescent in Amer
