OttleY Replies to Hon.
Omur Browns Query
on N. Y. Times Article

The Hon. Earle Ottley of
st. Thomas replying to Coun-
Gilman Browns query in a let
ter dated Sept. "a, in which
he asked whether or not the
statements made by him are
facts or that written by the
city editor of the New York
Times, states in part:
Receipt is hereby acknow-
lodged of your letter Of Sep
TENDER 24,S1951 in which you
ask me to state whether the
statement made by you in a
radio address on September 6,
1851, or the statement made by
the City Editor Of The New
Yorg Times in connection with
a press conference held in
New York is the true story.
"Mr. Roth's attitude was very
friendly, an dhe showed a de-
sire to assist the delegation in
getting its views before the
public. He was attempting to
be helpful when he uttered
the statement which you
quoted him as making. There
is no doubt that the quotation,
though not exact, is substan-
TALLY correct. It is unfortu-
nate, however, that the report
er who, in my opinion, went
out of his way to be os assist
anee should be put on the
spot, or that UGH great impor-
lance should be attached to an
occurance which is so trivial

Take Ny Word for 1t
By Frank Colby

He is one of the city's best
known ress-tuh-ran-TEERS." No.
There is no such word as "restau-
ranteer." The word which should
have been used is restaurateur (no
IN" please, Mr.. Compositor), "the
keeper of a restaurant"
Restaurateur (no "n'') is French
loan word. The standard American
pronunciation is similar to but not
exactly like the French. Say:
RESS tub rub TURR', the last
syllable rhyming with "fur, burr"
Heard while travelling: ".
wearing her hair in a CHIG-nun." +"
The word used is chignon, q French
word meaning the nape, the back
of the head; hence, style Of wear
ing the hair in large knot or roll
on the back Of the head. The
American pronunciation is similar
to the French: SHEEN-yon, or,
sheen-YON.
Note to j. M. w., of A. B. c.: You
have an excellent voice, a tactful and
capable manner of directing pro-
grams, a dynamic personality, but i. i. i.
Why labor so nightly to ruin an
otherwise good delivery with un-
natural r-dropping, and phony
broad AS?
Among us ordinary Americans,
charge is pronounced chahrj, not
"chahj";; world is not "wllhld," !"
board Is not "boe-ud," major Is not
''may-juh," Peter is not "Pee-tum, !"
and, as Archie might say, Perish
forbid!" collapse is not "kuh-
LAHPSS"l
Now, Of course, you won't go to
Jail for speaking like that. But
some one may shoot you with a
volume of Oxford!
Nothing Is so ridiculous as people
who affect an agonized speech pat
tern in the belief that it Is a
demonstration of elegance. Spuri-
Gus broad AS ("kuh-LAHPSS," for
instance) betray them every time.
A great motion picture producer
once told me that "the microphone
is the worlds best lie-detector. !"
No truer words were ever spoken.
Naturalness is desirable in any
speech, but 1t is especially so for
the radio speaker. The microphone
invariably spots a phony-it picks
up and magnif1es silly affectations
and other pronouncing fancy work.
And Americans do not like it!

"a NEGRO DID 1T"
By CARTER JEWEL

DINWIDDIE, Va. - (ANP) -
The Negro has been the scape-
goat for attacks on White women
in the South and in some in
stances, perhaps, have paid the
death penalty at the hands OF
mobs. They have been wrongly
accused in connection with other
infractions of the law.
The newest case of blaming
the Negro falsely comes from
Dinwiddie county, Va. William
Guy Smith Jr., deputy treasurer
of Dinwiddie county, related to
the sheriff of the county how on
Nov. II he was held up and
robbed of between $4,000 and
$4,000 by a Negro.
Deputy Sheriff w. B. Butter
worth Jr. quoted as saying that
he was driven to a lonely spot on
Spirrel Level road by a Negro
gunman who had forced MIN into
his own car in front of B. T.
Ritchie's store, near the junction
of Routes / and 400 and that the
man drove off with his car and
the money after they reached the
deserted spot in the road.
The deputy treasurer'S car was
fol,,yy::d the next day abandoned
aE- MT a tenth of mile from the
place where the holdup is sup
posed to have taken place. In ii
were checks amounting to about
$1,700. No trace of the robber
was ever found, Showever.
After thorough investigation
officers charged Smith with steal
ing $4,000 from the county. He
was released under $4,000 bond
pending a hearing January 81
before Trial Justice B. Hunter
Barrow.

Too Many Tickets

The overwhelming number of traffic tickets for minor violations issued by the city police department for the few weeks has resulted indignant voice of protest from businessmen private citizens and naval station employees
 Citizens have NOT protested the arrests for careless drunken fast driving Their protest is directed at tickets issued for petty, hard tod discern violations.
 The City of Kodiak provides few places for parking for the increasing number of vehicles travelling Kodiak Businessmen naturally interested in increasing their saes and feel that of consideration should given by police before they issue tickets for every little violation
 Mission Road residents who work at the base frequ enty refuse to shop in because of the inability to find place park and the chance they of getting ticket for few minutes illegal but unharmful parking. Their buying is done at the base instead
 One recent incident which is another unfavorabe as- pec of the departments campaign occurred lately mechanic changing battery The mechanic went into the garage to get battery and while he gone the vehicle pushed city property The police department put ticket on the
 The mechanic called the police and asked why. He was told that -------, owner of the car had committed several violations and that they waiting for him.
 Is the police department wagng campaign of vim dcvenes against citizens Are the young policemen just Or is the police chief fresh from the states trying big city methods in this small community where they not needed?
 Whatever the motives; the members of the city council should thoroughly thrash the problem and find way to halt the flow of traffic tickets.

 To whom it May concern: Over a period of 20 years in Alaska line vessels 1 have been in Kodiak many times and have always found much more than average cooperation between ships and men here than anywhere else in Alaska.
 The longshoremen in the this port cannot be blamed be- cause cargo has to be trucked from the ships gear to the other end of the warehouse before they unload it.
 Also l may add that after 200 tons of general cargo is piled in the city dock at Ko- diak there is not enough room for a jitney to get in with a full truck and get out with an empty truck.
