should the Marine be convicted

otherwise adorned in such a man
ner as to cast reflection. scornful

Marine Corpl. Frank Farkas to-
day was big step closer to his
dearest eambition-the right to
drive around with bright yellow
lemons painted on his automobile.
The Quantico Leatherneck, who
splashed into the news last week
when he was convicted of ridicul-
ing his make of car, won new
trial late yesterday.
Municipal Court Judge Andrew
j. Howard set the date for Sep
tember II.
1.-THE regulation is unconstitu-
Itional," says Defense Attorney H.
Clifford Alder. "A clear violation
of the right to free speech"
Corpl. Farkas of Flushing, N. Y,
thinks a car he bought recently
is a lemon" what with repair
bills piling up. But when he paint
ed his sentiments in pictures and
bright yellow letters on his car
a policeman arrested him.
Would Look Into Regulation.
He was about to be sentenced
yesterday when Judge Howard
granted him a new trial, after Mr..
Alder and his partner, Charles
E. Ford, said they wanted to pre-
sent new evidence. The want to
investigate the history of the reg
ulation, which was adopted in Au-
gust, 1850, by the Commissioners.
When the Marine showed up at
Municipal Court yesterday, he al
most ran into more trouble with
his automobile. He found ticket
on his car, parked on the "judici-
ary square" lot. But it turned out
to be only a courtesy" notice.
Judge Howard announced the
new trial after a two-hour con-
ference with opposing lawyers in
his chambers. Afterwards. Mr..
Alder said he cited two Supreme
Court rulings to uphold his posi-
ton.
One, decided in June. 194S, de-
clared unconstitutional New
York regulation forbidding loud
speakers on automobiles. The
other, in January. 1949, said it
was constitutional to outlaw car
loudspeakers if operated in a loud
and raucous manner.
Disturbance Denied.
Mr.. Alder contends that mere
painting of his opinion on his
automobile does not disturb the
peace of the community. The
regulation in question. he said, is
"class legislation" designed to
protect the interests of a par
ticular group, and hence uncon-
Stitutional.

Sum Spent on New JET
Is Under S4O0 Million

The Air Force said today that
the sum involved in the produc-
ton of the jos jet engine is con-
siderably less than the $400 mil
lion estimate of production ex-
pertS.
The service held to the position,
however, that the exact figure is
secret.
1t has been pointed out that
while millions have been spent on
the engine, production has
amounted to only a handful"
after more than a year and a
half. The Air Force said that
period of time is not considered
excessive to get the production of
a new engine under way. It ad-
mitted eight months delay in de-
liveries. It also said that delivery
schedules have been scaled down.
In New York a Curtiss- Wright
Aircraft Co. spokesman said actual
production of the engine was &C
complished in what the company
believes to have been a record time

Take My Word for 1t
BY Fronk Colby

The adjective "subversfye" Is
actually not a new word; but it is
only lately that the average Ameri-
can has been seeing it in print and
hearing it on the air, and under
standing only vaguely what it
means.
Since 1t is word of deep signifi-
eance to this democracy in its de-
termination to preserve the Ameri-
can way Of life, each Of us should
add the word to his vocabulary.
The adjective subversive derives
from the verb subvert, from the
Latin sub. under" plus vetere, "to
turn: hence, to overthrow, to ruin
or destroy. So, anything that is
subverSive Is that which seeks to
undermine and destroy completely.
In American usage, "subversive
person, subversive elements, sub
versive movements" refer to persons
or groups who openly or secretly
seek to overthrow our Government
90 that communism, fascism, etc. or
some other non-democratic rule
may be imposed upon us.
We Americans like One-word
labels for almost everything. We
have therefore begun to use the word
subversive, especially in the plural
form, as noun, meaning. a per-
son Cor personS who INDUCES in
subversive practices"
The noun, subversive, Is not listed
In any dictionary that I know of;
but it is so well established that it
must be admitted to good usage.
There is nothing sinful, illogical
or ungrammatical in forming nouns
from adjectives. We have been doing
1t for centuries. Here are just a few
now sactioned by highest authority
Gall these nouns were formerly ad-
jectives only: Progressive, directive,
abrasive, collective, objective.
So it is quite within the genius
Of English, and American English
especially, to speak of Communists,
fellow travellers and other SUBJ
versives."

Certain big birds on this conti-
nent have been said to "look pre-
historic" They are very much
alive, however, and hold a special
place in the list of modern birds.
The birds of which I speak have
several names. The best would
seem to be "darters," but many per-
sons speak of them as water tur-
keys" and others call them snake
birds"
A full-grown darter has a length
of about 3 feet. That counts the
long, straight beak, also the long
tail.
The tail can be famed out, as
can the tail of a turkey. This is
the only excuse for a name which
seems to class it with turkeys.
Otherwise a darter looks very diff
ferent from a turkey, wild or tame
The long, slender neck helps to
explain the name of snake bird. A
darter often swims with its body
under water, and with only its head
and snakelike neck above the sur
face.
Darters live in Southern sections
|of the United States, also in Mex
leo and other parts of Latin Amer
lea. We find some of them in North
Carolina. and they range SOUTH

males have brown, gray, buff and
white feathers.
Swamps and ponds are the favor
lite living places of darters. They
are fresh-water birds, and get their
food chiefly by going into water.
They capture fish by chasing them
under the water, rather than by
diving at them. They dart their
heads about with high skill to catch
fish which try to escape by making
sudden turns.
The rough nests of darters are
built in bushes or low trees, with.
in close range ef- water. Dry grass
leaves, sticks. roots and moss GO
into the nests.

Mr.. Abel had seen him open with
one-no-trump bids on the weakest
kind Of handS-just because he had
no five-card suit. He had even
opened a no-trump with a hand
containing a singleton and three
four-card suits.
Admitting that Mr.. Flsty's bid
ding is hopelessly out of date, he
is often pretty cagey on the play
of the hand. In today's deal Mr..
Champion led his fourth highest
club, the trey. Mr.. Abel put up
the ten and Mr.. Fusty won with
the jack.
Looking the hand over, it was
clear that he had only eight sure
tricks in sight-the club already
won, five diamonds and two hearts.
He could get q spade trick, but
that would involve letting the op-
ponents take the lead and If Mr..
Abel had the ace Of the suit and
returned another club it might be
disastrous.
It occurred to Mr.. Fusty, how
ever. that 1t might be possible to
trick the enemy into ducking the
first spade lead. If they did, he
would have his nine tricks.
At trick two, he cashed the ace
Of diamonds, then laid down the
king Of spades. This sequence of
plays was quite jolt to Mr.. Abel.
What was the man doing? Was
It possible that he had started with
the lone ace Of diamonds? If so,
the queen Of spades was the only
entry to dummy.
Mr.. Abel fretted and squirmed.
Even If he won with the ace Of
spades, there was no assurance that
his side could run four quick club
tricks. Mr.. Champion had opened
the trey and might have started
with only four clubs.
Finally, Mr.. Abel decided to lay
OF. Mr.. Fusty then promptly
showed up with not one, but two
more diamonds and easily racked
up nine tricks. OF course. this
swindle would have had no chance
for success II Mr.. Fusty had
stodgily run of his five diamond
winners at the start.
