II axe Ny Word for 1t
By Fronk Colby

Greensboro: You should chastise
severely one of your fellow wordolo-
gists. The erudite MIR. James N.
Tidwell, in a publication Of the
American Dialect Society, lost him.
self in one Of his definitions: :" a
fungus resembling curd and grow
ing on the human body in tropical
areas. Mrs. B.
A. think Mr.. Tidwell will be suf-
ficiently chastised just to see that
sentence in print!
Georgetown: The proper pronun-
citation of coadjutor has caused
considerable controversy here. My
friends tell me that the word must
be accented on the "ju" syllable,
but investigation of the dictionaries
does not bear this out. Please
efereei-Mrs. A. L.
A. In ecclesiastical usage, coad-
jutor Is an assistant to bishop; a
bishop who assists another bishop,
with the right of succession when
the latter retires or dies.
The dictionaries list two pronun-
Citations in this order: Koe-ADGE-
uh-ter, KOE-uh-JOO'ter.
Which is the better pronuncia-
tion? According to an Episcopal
bishop, the pronunciation used by
members and ecclesiastics of his
Church is: KOE-uh. JOO'ter. Ar en-
inent priest of the Roman Catholic
church states that KOE-uh-JOO'-
ter prevails among Catholics, but
that koe-ADGE-uh-ter is some
times heard.
In Difference to those who ac-
tually have use for this word,
recommend the prevailing pronun-
ciation: KOE-uh-JOO'ter.
Watertown: What do they mean
by the expression "knuckle down, .
+as in, "knuckle down to work"?-
George.
A. Knuckle comes from the mid
die English knokil, which meant the
knee or elbow. Nowadays, of
course, we use knuckle most COM
monty to refer to the finger joints
Of the human being.
ITO knuckle down to" usually is
traced to the boyhood game of
marbles in which the boy is re-
quired to keep the knuckles of his
shooting hand pressed to the
ground to insure that he does not
fudge" However, DR.. Wilfred
Funk "a Hog on Ice, thinks that it
arises from the early inclusion of
the bones of the spinal column as
"knuckles";; therefore, when one
knuckles down, he literally puts his
back into a project, or applies
himself diligently.

Nonsegregation Is Working

The Eighth Division, like the
rest of the Army, is making heroic
efforts to overcome the leader-
ship shortage. Training in the
Eighth Division, as in all training
divisions, is completely nonsegre-
gated. Nonsegregaton is working
we'll in spite of the arrival on the
post of the 31st (Dixie) Division,
a raw National Guard outfit that
has refused to take Negro troopers
as filters.
It's not an experiment with us;
it's necessity" says General Col
Inns. He and members of his staff
point out that they have a bad
enough time finding leaders for
one group of men, let alone the
two sets of leaders they would
have to find if segregation were
in progress. Recruits are assigned
to the training companies as they
are received, without regard to
color. One company of 22O men
may have only twenty Negroes in
it; the next may have only twenty
whites; the next may be half and
half.
No Color Line: Company COM
manders are making acting SER
geants out of the ablest men
shortly after the start of training.
The color of mans skin makes
no difference in this selection.
Mixed squads led by Negroes are
lust about as common as mixed
squads led by whites. II haven't
got enough good men to discrim-
inate," remarked one company
commander from the Deep South.
"And after the way this is working,
I wouldn't if I could"
Pfc. Shaw was a newcomer to
Phoenix before rejoining the SER
vice. He worked for the Sun in

Pay Roise For
Armed Personnel
BY the NNPA News Service

A pay raise for armed services
personnel is in the offing. Repre-
sentatives James E. Van Zandt, Re-
publican, of Pennsylvania, MEM
Der of the House Armed Services
Committee, has introduced a bill
which would require the president
to adjust pay scales each July
by the amount by which the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics index as
of the preceding May Is had
changed from the index at the
time the Career Compensation Act
was effective, October 1, 1949.
If there was not more than a
3 per cent change, no adjustment
would be made. But since the Car
eer Compensation Act was enacted,
the overall average cost of liv-
ing increase is 9 per cent, accord
ing to the Bureau of Labor Statis-
ties.
Actually, a case could be made
for a greater increase because con-
ditions under which most service
personnel lived were such that
their cost-of-living increase was
from 10 to II per cent.
