legislative and executive branch
employees should be treated on
the same basis. And they feel
that Congress cannot afford to
give its own employees preferen-
tial treatment over employees in
the executive branch of the
Government.
During Senate debate on the
bill last week. Chairman Carlson
of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee asked that the legislation
be held up until the congress
sional-appointed retirement COM
mittee makes its report to
Congress. However. the Senate
rejected this suggestion.
There's no chance that Con-
gress will act on liberalized re-
tirement benefits for Govern
ment executive branch en-
ployes at this years session.
since it will wait to receive the
report of it's special retirement
committee. However. any favor
able legislation for the legisla-
tive employees is bound to influ-
ence both the special retirement
committee in its recommended
tions to Congress. as well as
Congress itself.
PAY-Postal employe leaders
feel that enactment of a postal
rate increase bill will result next
year in a nay raise for postal
workers. They feel that the ad-
ditional revenue would remove
any objections to a pay increase
for postal workers. Even If the
rate bill isn't enacted until next
year, postal empioye leaders feel
that a pay raise would follow at
the same session.
All this is of extreme interest
to the Governments classified
employees, since it has been ayio-
matte that every time Congress
has approved r a wage increase
for postal workers. it has in
creased the salaries of classified
employees as well.

MyWord for 1t

Spokane: Why is the japanese
Parliament called the "Diet?"
This suggests food to me.
A. This particular diet" is
from the Latin data meaning "a
journey Of one days time.
Ancient assemblies were made up
of members living within a days
journey from the place of meet
ing. The "diet" relating to food
is from the Greek data, "a
mode of life" Both diets" are
pronounced the same: DYE-ut.
Charleston: Which is the
correct pronoun to use in q SEN
tence similar to this? They all
went but (me? I?,.
A. In such sentences "but" may
be construed either as prepo-
sition, or as q conjunction. Note
the distinction:
Proposition
Every one went but me.
All had tickets but him.
Every one was gone but her.
Conjunction
Every one went but I (did not
go).
All had tickets but he (did not
have one).
All were gone but she (stayed
alone).
My own feeling is that "but,"
by analogy with except" and
save" is clearly q proposition
meaning with the exception of,
and therefore calls for the OBJ
jective me, him, her, us or them.
Dallas: Help, please. A friend
insists that the word esquire" is
accented on the first syllable.
A. The only sanctioned pro-
nrnciation is: eSs-KWIRE.

Mr.. Dale won the fourth trick
and ratified of all Of his spades.
You can see the spot Mr.. Cham
pion was in. He knew Mr.. Dale
had started with six spades as
soon as Mr.. Muzzy showed out on
the third lead of that suit. He
also knew Mr.. Dale had held
exactly three hearts.
That left four other cards. On
the bidding it appeared that
three of these were the ace and
king or diamonds and the ace of
clubs. After all, Mr.. Dale had
contracted for ten tricks OPP
posite a passing partner and
vulnerable, against non vul-
nerable opponents.
But what was that 18th
card in the closed hand? A small
club or a small diamond?
Mr.. Champion played slowly
and carefully, watching and re-
Numbering every card played.
Mr.. Muzzy, on the other hand,
was looking around the room
and apparently had little in
terest in the proceedings. The
best that can be said for him is
that he did not revoke.
With tension mounting at
every trick, Mr.. Champion fol-
lowed suit to three leads of
spades, then discarded the seven
of clubs, then his last heart. On
the last spade, however he had
to guess. Dummy. at this point,
had j, 10, 8 in diamonds and
@, j in clubs.
Mr.. Champion guessed wrong,
diScarding a diamond, and Mr..
Dale won the last four tricks
with the ace. king, jack of
diamonds and the ace of clubs.
"a card-dealing machine could
play with more meaning than
you, Muzzy," Mr.. Champion
yelled. why didn't you CO.
operate with me to beat this
hand?"
ut Is not possible to CO.
operate with anything, holding
a six-spot high hand" replied
Mr.. Muzzy stif1y.
Nuts" said Mr.. Champion,
appropriately. "All you had to
do was to start discarding
diamonds as soon as you were
out of spades. Discard the deuce,
the trey and the five, in that |
order. Naturally, I'd miss the
four-Spot. Somebody would have
to have it. And that could only
be Dale. That would have been
the clue to Dale's 18th card"
