Take MyWord forIt
By Fronk Colby

! E. D., of Atlanta, wants to
know why the bald" eagle is
so called, since its head is COW
cred with feathers.
Bald" is from the Middle
English word, balled. meaning
white" and is akin to the
Gothic bala. meaning "a white
faced horse"
The eagle. as king of the
birds, has been looked upon as
the symbol of royal or imperial
power. A two-headed eagle, as
a sign of double empire, was
first used by the Byzantine
Caesars to denote their control
OF both the East and the West.
An eagle was always let fly
from the funeral pyre of an
emperor. to bear his soul up to
Olympus. So the eagle has be-
come associated with imperial
ism.
The American eagle is the ma
tive bald eagle. and was first
adopted on the seal of the
United States on June 20, 1882.
against the bitter opposition of
Benjamin Franklin. Franklin
looked upon the eagle as being
the Caesarian emblem, and
wished to know what was the
matter with the wild turkey.
since it was a more distinctly
American bird.
In spite of his protests, the
eagle was adopted not only on
the seal, but on the first coins
issued in the United States in
1875, and on the majority of
the coins issued since that
time.

preston "seven years bad luck"

! A. At one time it was believed
that any surface which would
produce a reflection reproduced
the reflection of the soul. The
surface, therefore. was carefully
guarded lest it be broken, and
the soul injured. The supersti-
ton dates back to antiquity.

The initial ingenuity of the

the program would provide more
effective controls on classification

formation which must be safe
guarded for national defense
purposes.
The proposed controls would
supplant those issued by former
President Truman in September,
1851, when he extended generally
restrictions on publication that
previously had applied only to
such vital agencies as the State
and Defense Departments and
the Atomic Energy Commission.
These had been widely criti-

The President circularized to-

agencies the right to classify ma

In 16 other agencies only the
heads of the establishment will
have the right to classify ma

In such agencies as the ma
jor departments and the Acc,
where the controls continue, the
Presidents order provides that
the authority to classify mate

Critics had complained that

Provisions also are made for
reviewing classified material
either to ease or remove controls
when 1t is felt that they are no
longer necessary.
Attorney General Brownell,
who has been working with the
President on the new security
program, said in a letter to the
White House that he felt that

President Eisenhower made
plain today he does not think
books advocating communism
should be on the shelves of
United States overseas informa-

He was not talking about this
problem in his recent Dartmouth
College speech on book burners.
Nor was he necessarily talking
about Senator Mccarthy, Re
publican, of Wisconsin.
But, Gen. Eisenhower told his

informed about present direc-

handling of controversial books.
He plans to call on Secretary of
State Dulles for a report on how
the problem is being handled.
The President implied he
would favor an order permitting
the use of controversial books in
