7 TokeMyWord forIt

One quiet Sunday morning at
New College, oxford, the Rev.
William Archibald Spooner arose
and announced the title of the
first hymn: "The congregation
will please rise and sing, The
Kingering Konks Their Titles
Take" And a new word was
born.
DR.. Spooner's boner quickly
became a classic with the irreve-
rent students Of Oxford, and con-
cocting SpooneriStic remarks
swelled into a fad which spread
over the entire country. The
dictionary word for this transpo-
sirion Of the letters or sounds of
two words is metathesis (muh-
TATH-uh-SiSs); but scholars and
dictionaries now accept without
question the word "Spoonerism"
TO apply to this unfortunate
tongue twisting.
Whether or not the good dean
was guilty of all the funny slips
of the tongue that have been
credited to him, he is said to
have once solemnly kissed the
guard goodbye at the Oxford
railway station, given his wife a
sixpenSe, and said: Guard,
please wrap my bugs in the rag"
1t is also said that one morn
ing DR.. Spooner approached a
worshipper in his church and
queried in hushed tones: Mar
don me, padam, but aren't you
occupewing the wrong pie?" I'm
sorry" said she, "but what a
cheautiful burch this isl" To
which DR.. Spooner replied proud
ly: Many thinkle peep so, ma
DAM"
Not long ago one of the top
fight network newscasters made
the emphatic statement that
"the FBI is leaving no stern un-
toned" A Washington corre-
spondent declared: If you know
the answer to the tax problem,
come to Washington - they'll

Mr.. Crawford in his remarks
spoke of the tremendous faith

fact that the capital stock Of
$35O,OOO was oversubscribed
in record time and the build

Congress

nv. HEN congressional COM
w mittees. earlier this year,
were studying bills which
would concede ownership OF
the .'tidelands" to the coastal
States, the administration
seemed to have conflicting
views on the subject. Attorney
General Brownell asked Con-
gress merely to authorize the
States to develop the natural
resources under their adjacent
oceans. That meant. for prac-
tical purposes, that the States
would get the income from off,
shore oil leases, but would not
own the lands. A bill giving
title to the States, Mr.. Brownell
said, would invite troublesome
law, suits. And, he implied,
such suits might be upheld by
the Supreme Court.
But President Eisenhower
told Congress to go ahead and
vest ownership in the States.
He had been a States Fighter
on that subject for some time,
he said.
The House last week ap-
proved a "tidelands" bill which
attempted to reconcile both
points Of view.
The bill would give the States
title to the undersea lands out
to their historic boundaries"
(The historic boundaries would
be the three-mile limit in all
cases except Texas and the
Gulf coast of Florida, where
three Spanish leagues, or l01a
miles, would mark the limit)
But, in case Mr.. Brownell was
right, the bill specified that If
the Supreme Court overruled
State ownership, then the
States still would have author
ity to develop" the submerged
natural resources.
Final vote on the measure
was 285 to 108. Republicans
favored it 1873 to IS. Democrats
split, 81 for and 80 against.
One independent voted no"
The Senate started debate on

More Toll Roads?
Financial Success Of Those Now in Existence
Can Be Misleading, Highway Experts Worn

Increasing talk, at both Fed
eral and State legislative levels,
Of building toll roads as part
solution to the critical highway
situation has caused some de-
gree of alarm among experts
who are paid to represent high
way users.
Go easy" they say. "It's
not as simple as it appears"
At present, 20 States either
already have toll roads or are
considering them. All Of those
now In operation, which total
some 600 miles, have been
financially successful. The sue
cess, however, is due to the fact
that these roads are in con-
geSted areas and that they re-
placed existing highways which
were totally inadequate. And
this success has misled many
into believing that any toll
road can pay for itself.
AS for a Capitol Hill plan
to build a Nationwide network
of superhighways financed by
tolls. one of the experts has a
single word for it: "Cockeyed,"
he says.
Another, Arthur C. Butler, di-
rector Of the National Highway
Users Conference, says that,
In time Of war, with gasoline
rationing. such roads would be
hard put to finance them
selves. I'm congested sec
tions they would pay" Mr..
Butler says. "but for the hun
dreds of miles in the flats Of
the Western States they would
be financial failures"
Interest Rotes Differ
Toll roads also have proved
to be considerably more ex-
pensive to build and operate.
For instance, a recent road
bond issue in West Virginia
backed by the faith and credit
Of the State carried 1.6 per
cent interest. In the same
State, the bonds of toll turn
pike which did not have the
credit backing Of the State cost
{ per cent.
One Of the main reasons for
opposition to the tolls idea
is that it constitutes multiple
taxation on highway users who
already pay large sums in reg
istration fees, Federal, State
and local taxes on vehicles,
parts and fuel. Opponents
point out that If the tolls
amount to no more than /
cent a mile, that is equivalent
to an additional Is cents tax
on gasoline.
John v. Lawrence, manag-
ing director Of the American
Trucking Associations, Inca
maintains that toll roads win
interfere with the orderly de-
velopment Of free highways

Ammunition

Gen. James A. Van Fleet,
retired commander Of ground
forces In Korea, continued to
tell Congress last week about
differences over strategy In the
Korean war.
He told q Senate Armed
Services Subcommittee that he
had been ready in 1861 to hit
the Communists with an am
phlbiouS assault that would
have done much to destroy the
Red forces. But, he testified.
Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway,
then Far East commander in
chief, would not approve his
plan. It was not made clear
in the hearing whether the
incident occurred before or
after Russia first proposed
truce negotiations.
Meanwhile, the subcommit-
tee gave the deflnitive word on
