AWord to the Wise
By Mrs. Fronk Colby

Not long ago / wrote, "Diction-
aries do not as yet sanction the
pronunciation MEE-lee,' for the
word melee. My recommends
tion, however, as representing
the standard American choice
is: MEE-lee."
Melee" is a French loan-word
meaning "a confused hand-to-
hand fight" as, "He was badly
injured in the melee" But read
the foregoing sentence aloud, as,
He was badly injured in the
MAY-lay." 1t suggests that he
was injured in the Malay (Pen-
insula). doesn't it?
"MELL-ay," another dictionary
pronunciation. suggests nothing
at all. unless it is a girls name;
hence, "He was injured in the
MELL-ay" means nothing.
It is true that the French melee
is pronounced: meh-LAY; but
melee has been considered Eng
lish for centuries, ais have tens
of thousands of other French
loan-words.
MEE-lee is the natural, un-
affected Anglicized pronuncia-
tion, and the one which nearly
every one uses. In no dictionary
known to me, however, does the
pronunciation "MEE-lee" appear.
Webster'S lists: may-LAY; May
lay: MELL-ay. Kenyon &
Knott's "Pronouncing Dictionary
of American English" lists first,
may-LAY; second, MAL-lay, and
third, MELL-ay.
But in spite of the recon-
mendations of the dictionaries,
I fear that the American eye will
continue to read, melee" as a
rhyme for "teepee," and that the
American tongue will continue to
pronounce it so.
My recommendation: MEE-lee.

Fog al Airport Hampers
Plane and Auto Traffic

A touch of London-type fog
slowed District area highway
traffic and hampered operations
at National Airport this morn
ing.
The Weather Bureau blamed
the situation on a blanket of
moist air which moved in early
today from the Atlantic. Visibil-
ity at the airport at times was
down to half a mile, and the
ceiling reached a low of about
200 feet. 4
Some incoming planes were
delayed above the city for up to
half-an-hour, although depar-
lures kept on schedule. All
planes landed and took off on
instruments.
Operations returned to norma
later in the morning. The
Weather Bureau said the rest
of the day would be partly cloudy
with a high temperature of
about SO, with clouds and show
ers likely tomorrow.

City Heads Approve Plan
To CentraIize Legal Work

The District Commissioners
today approved the recommended
ton of Schuyler Lowe. director
of general administration, that
all legal activities of the Dis
trict Government be centralized
under the corporation counsel.
The question arose because
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea asked that Assistant Cor
poration Counsel William PAWS,
who has been assigned to his
Office, be continued in that
capacity. Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West said that Mr..
PAWS was needed in his Office
because he is seriously over
taxed with work and it would
be better if all legal personnel
were placed under his direct
control.

Trosh-G Garbage Mixture Breeds
Less Flies, District Aide Says

An unofficial survey of gar
bage cans here and in Kensing-
ton. Md, has convinced William
H. Cary. jr.. director of the Dis
trict's bureau of health engin-
eering, that garbage should be
mixed with trash for collection
purposes.
Mr.. Cary, who hates fly mag
gotS almost as much as he hates
rats, recently took it upon him
self to peer personally into $50
Washington garbage cans and a
random assortment of garbage
cans in the neighborhood of his
KenSington home.

system of keeping garbage and
trash in separate cans did moth

On the other hand, in Ken

These officials point out that
to adopt Mr.. Cary's ideas would
mean devising some new means
for disposing of the refuse, most

Auditor Backs
Rise
In Sanitary Rate
Bookkeeping Faults
Seen Of No Effect;
Civic Unit to Protest
By Richard RODGERS

A Maryland Public Service
Commission auditor has reported
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commissions bookkeeping
was off in several respects but
not enough to make a change In
its new increased rates.
The report came from E. Ed
ward Mclean, chief auditor Of
the PSC. The Sanitary Commits
sion said it would have no COM
ment until the audit is adopted
officially by the PSC.
The Allied Civic Group, Inc.
of Silver Spring Immediately
announced its lawyers would
protest the report. The PSC re-
Gently heard the groups COM
plants against the rate increases
promulgated by the Sanitary
Commission.
Dispute "Pay as You Co."
One complaint the Allied Civic
Group submitted dealt with the
Sanitary Commissions new, So
called pay as you go" policy.
The new plan eliminates some
payments formerly made from
money obtained by bond issues
and charged to construction.
The PSC auditor seems to
agree with the Civic Group. At
the same time he agrees with
the utility's argument that the
old plan was wrong.
MY examination Of the pro-
cedures and methods used in al
locating 1852 indirect and over
head COSTS" he ruled, has de-
termined that too little is now
being charged construction,
whereas in the past, too much
has been charged"
Mr.. Mclean said the utility is
going against the statutes by
forcing customers to pay off in
40 years what should take 70
years to pay.
He said the boards recent
bond issues require the taxpayers
to pay the whole freight now for
service that should be paid for
by future customers as well.
Sets Sum at 100000.
AS for the items he thinks are
wrongfully charged to current
bills instead of to future pay
mentS, the total amounts to less
than 100000.
Other utilities charge off such
things as certain taxes, salaries,
advertising and equipment de-
probation to the construction
fund, he said, whereas the SAM
tary Commissions new policy
pays for them as they come due.
But even if the Sanitary Com
mission conformed to his plan,
he pointed out, water charges
would be reduced less than cent
per 1000 gallons, and sewer
charges would not be lowered
at all.
The civic group claimed Mr.,
McLean's' audit supported its
main theme about the charges
being too high. Willard Morris,
the civic leaders head, noted
that Mr.. Mclean didn't say any
thing about the increased trash
collection costs.

Plans Approved
For New Plant
AT Child Center
D. c. to Seek Bids
On Building for
CoIored Children

The District Commissioners
today formally approved plans
and specifications for the new
Industrial Home School for Col
ored Children at the Children's
Center and allowed $50 days to
build the 500-child institution.
The Commissioners authorized
District Procurement Officer Ro-
land M. Brennan to advertise
for bids, allowing 80 days from
the date of advertising to re-
ceipt of the bids.
The buildings to be construc-
ted at the center near Laurel,
Md, were assured when Con-
gress approved an outlay of $3.7
million of which 81 million is
included in the 1854 budget. This
was the goal sought by COM
munity leaders since The Star
surveyed child care facilities here
last year and found them sadly
wanting.
Construction is expected to
get underway in mid-October
with a completion date $50 days
from the letting of the contract.
When the boys and girls now
housed in buildings at Blue
Plains move into the new build
ings in 1855, the small children
now in the aged buildings of the
Junior Village on Loughboro
road will be moved into the Blue
Plains cottages.
The plans approved by the
Commissioners for the new In
dustrial Home School for Col
ored Children provide for one
pre-release cottage for the boys
and one for the girls, five other
girls cottages, six other boys
cottages, a building to house the
heating plant and storage ia
cilities, a school building, an
administration building and a
mess hall.
Already located at the Chill
dren's Center are the District
Training School for Mentally
Retarded Children and the In
dustrial Home School for White
Children, which is expected to
be completed in November.

Palisades Citizens
Again Oppose Plan
For Liquor Store

Palisades citizens again are
battling a proposed Macarthur
boulevard liquor store.
Members Of the Palisades
Citizens Association have fought
successfully against four liquor
license applications in the last
six years. Yesterday they went
to bat before the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board against
the fifth.
The new applicant, Morris
Hickman, is the owner of May
flower liquors, Inc. at 1104
Connecticut avenue NV.
Lists Backers.
Mr.. Hickman is seeking to
move to 5140 Macarthur boule-
ward NV. Yesterday he pre-
sented five witnesses and a list
of 500 signatures of residents
who said they had no objection.
But Al other citizens appeared
in opposition, and they pre-
sented petition signed by 524
other residents against the store.
Mr.. Hickman in 1947 sought
a license for a store in the same
block-at 5104 Macarthur bou-
levard. The board turned that
down. 1t took the new case
under advisement yesterday.
The proposed location is only
a few hundred feet, from the
Palisades recreation area. OPP
ponents yesterday included the
District Recreation Board, the
Florence Crittenton Home,
which is as 4759 Reservoir road,
and the Junior Village. nearby
District welfare institution.
Opposes Stores in Area.
Harold Gray, citizens asso-
citation president, said his group
opposes the store because there
are no liquor stores west of Wis
consin avenue except on M
street.
1--WE want to keep it that way"
he said, explaining that the as
ISOLATION fears a liquor store
would be an entering wedge for
taverns and night clubs, which
he said would lead to deteriora-
ton of the neighborhood.
Mr.. Gray said his group be-
lieves it has support of majority
of the nearby residents. If this
is the case, the law will prohibit
the store, he said.
The association on Tuesday
asked the Commissioners to
oppose the application on &C
count of the playground, but the
city heads haven't acted.
Mr.. Gray also pointed out that
the Key Elementary School is
within 600 feet of the location.
Would Appeal License.
The association will appeal to
the Commissioners if the license
should be granted, the president
said. The city heads can over
rule the board.
Mr.. Gray and Mrs. James A.
Sheaffer, association secretary,
were sued by another unSuccess-
full applicant, Sidney Feldman,
after Mr.. Feldman was denied
a Macarthur boulevard location
last year. Mr.. Feldman later
dropped the suit, but is still
pressing a claim for damages
against five Georgetown liquor
dealers who also opposed his
application. The case hasn't
come up yet.
The ABC Board yesterday de-
MED an application of Curion
Wine & Liquor, Inc, to move
from 623 F street NV. to 1880
Fourteenth street NV, on the
ground that the area already has
three liquor stores. Member
James Moran dissented.
