7 axe My Word for 1t
By Fronk CoIb,

Question: Will you please give me
the correct pronunciation of Cae-
sarean? "see-SEAR-ee-un" isn't
right, is it?
Answer: No. The oo-frequently
heard "see-SEAR-ee-un" has no
sanction at all. The term Cae-
sarean (also spelled: Cesarean
arose from the idea that the great
Roman emperor, Julius Caesar, was
delivered by this type of operation.
Caesarean Is correctly pro-
nounced: see-ZATR-ee-un; or: see
SAIR-ee-un.
Philadelphia: My jeweler keeps
talking about s'ZUR-coins." Is
there such a word?-L. S.
Answer: The word intended Is
zircons, pronounced: .ZUR-kafnz
You may invest many dollars 10
these; stones, but not one "coin"
should get into the pronunciation!
The name comes from chromium, a
metallic element found in the gem
itself.
Oklahoma City: Do Texans say
"kain't'' for can't because of the
word "aint"?-O. r.
Answer: No. 1t has been said
that Southwestern can be iden-
tilted by these expressions: "kain't"
for can't: "aig" for .egg, etc.
Whether this is true or not, many
people do mispronounce these
words. Correct: kant, for can't;
egg, to rhyme with "leg."

Answer: Hold on minute! Let's
be fair about this. The best of us
have to "eat our words" OCCASION
ally; however, capitalist should
have all four syllables sounded,
thus: CAP-uh-tuh-list. But even
the half f-devoured word sounds bet

General Electric Reply
To Clio Is Expected

By George Beveridoe

General Electric Co. officials are
expected next week to- answer
CIO charge that the firm has sup

union.
James B. Carey, CIO secretary
treasurer. made the charge yes

committee. The Senators are try
ing to decide if legislation is
needed to restrict Communist
dominated unions doing vital de-
Ifense work.
Chairman Humphrey said he
intended to see that both GE and
the union involved, the United
Electrical, Radio and Machine
Workers Union, testified on the
very serious" charges.
Self Interest Charged.
GE officials at first refused to
comment on Mr.. Carey'S testi-
mony. Later, in New York, GE
Vice President L. R. Boulware
said in statement that Mr.. Carey

ing Communists from the elec-

The IUE is the CIO Interna-
tional Union of Electrical, Radio
and Machine Workers, now head
ed by Mr.. Carey. The IUE was
formed in 1949. after the CIO ex-
lpelled UE on charge of Red dom

Mr.. Carey contended that Cen

said the dissention which resulted
has saved GE millions of dollars in

it. The boy leaned perilously out

trout and screamed. "You dirty
