T axe Ny Word forIt
By Fronk Colby

"JOOL-ree." The correct pro-
nunciation is: JOO-ull-ree.
Overheard from a pulpit:
". and to the ain-TA1N-
ance of righteousness and vir-
tue" There is no much word as
"maintainance." The noun
formed from the verb maintain
is spelled maintenance, "the act
of maintaining" and the only
sanctioned pronunciation is
MAIN-tuh-n'nss.
Some befuddled scholar first
used the spelling comptroller"
in the mistaken idea that it was
French; but there is no such
French word. The correct French
word is controleur.
Comptroller" when it is used,
however, should not be pro-
nounced "KOMP-tro-ler.' Pro-
nounce comptroller exactly like
controller. thus: kun-TRO-ler.
The form Comptroller" is
gradually disappearing in Amer
lean business usage.

The word used was cacophony,
"harsh or discordant sound"
The accent should fall on the
second syllable only, thus: kuh-

There is no "home" in homi-

Special Dispotch TO The Sfor

BALTIMORE, April 25.-Six
Communist conspirators yester-
day were denied new trials they
sought on grounds that Mrs.
Mary Stalcup Markward, Ches-
terbrook, Va. housewife. had
given a false impression of her
compensation as a Government
undercover worker.
The six defendants, Philip
Frankfeld, George A. Meyers,
Leroy H. Wood, Maurice L.
Braverman, Mrs. Dorothy Rose
Blumberg and Mrs. Regina
Frankfeld, are now serving Fed
eral prison terms. They were
convicted here a little more than
a year ago.
Mrs. Markward once was Sec
retary of the Communist Party
in the District. She spent nine
years in the party as a Govern
ment undercover agent. The
defendants claimed she was de-
picted to the jury as a patriotic
citizen, but was shown at the
New York Communist trial to
have drawn $24,026.46 in pay
and expenses over the nine-year
period.
Federal Judge w. Calvin Ches-
nut ruled that the disclosure did
not contradict the facts to which
she had testified.
Frankfeld at one time was
president of the party in both
Maryland and the District of
Columbia. Meyers was his sue
ceSSor as party chairman. Wood
