A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

The word amateur" has been
in the English language for q
long time; but it shows . re-
markable unwillingneSs to set
tie down and become naturalized.
The French pronunciation Is
am-a-TER, with "a's" almost as
fat as in "am, ham," But the
French pronunciation has never
been current in America. Al
though radio and TV have at
tempted to popularize q syn
thetic French pronunciation.
AM-uh-ter, 1t. too. is seldom
used by people in general.
The pronunciation which pre-
walls In Standard American
speech is: AM-uh-chur. 1t Is
sanctioned as second choice by
some dictionaries, and Kenyon
and Knots Pronouncing Dc
tionary lists 1t first with the
comment that it (AM-uh-chur)
is most frequent and "accords
best with habits Of English"
At any rate. be sure to avoid
the dialectal "AM-uh- CHOO-er"
and "AM-uh-TOO-er."
My Recommendation u: AM
Auxiliary Is not "awg-ZHL-
uh-ree," nor should the word
have i've syllables as some Brit
ish dictionaries list it. as avg
ZIL-i-er-i." In American usage
ia" after q" usually has the
sound OF va" a. in civilian. :"
Better say: awg-ZILL-yuh-ree.
Long-lived. This adjective
means having or inclined to
have Q long life" Despite the
Lived is not the past
tense Of the verb to live. It is
q combining form from the noun
life" Therefore. Lived should
have the long 81" sound tas in
"dived") In all the compound
words, such as. short-lived, long
lived. nine-lived. etc.

today's deal. But playing with
Mr.. Masters he decided to take
the aggressive course. He bid
two clubs and Mr.. Masters, who
had plenty in reserve, was glad
to Jump to game at no-trump.
The contract was far from a
laydown. 1t required not only
favorable distribution, but fine
play at the very first trick. This
last was no more than Mr.. Dale
had expected. In fact that is
why he bids strongly with Mr..
Masters.
Mr.. Abel opened the four of
clubs. Now, the usual play heIS
would be to let this ride to the
queen. But Mr.. Masters realized
that would be a losing play.
If he ducked in dummy, Mr..
Champion could have won with
the king and switched to a spade.
That would have been fatal.
Mr.. Masters made the rather
strange-lookin play Of the ace
of clubs from dummy at trick
one. setting up two possible club
winners for the defenders. He
was willing to lose two tricks
in clubs--and two in diamonds,
il necessary-to give himself the
advantage Of leading diamonds
twice before the enemy had q
chance to attack the spades.
At trick. two he led the five
of diamonds from the board and
won with the queen after Mr..
Champion followed suit with the
nine. Next he led the six of
hearts to dummy's king and re-
turned anothed diamond. Dis
gustedly, Mr.. Champion won
with the ace and now there
was no way to prevent Mr.. Mas
tiers from winning 10 tricks on
the hand.

Bursitis Treatments
Yesterday. for the second time
in a week, Mr.. Eisenhower went
to the Army's Walter Reed hos
pital for physical therapy treat
ment on his bursitis-stiffened
shoulder. He is expected to take
more of these treatments.
Bursitis has bothered the
President on and of for several
years. When Mr.. Hagerty an
nounced the Walter Reed trip
yesterday, a reporter wanted to
know If the doctors were sure it
was bursitis. He said they were.
Bursitis, Mr.. Hagerty explained,
results from calcium deposits.
He recalled that the Presidents
complaint was similar to a
growth that Joe DiMaggio. for

fielder, once had on his heel.

Not so, said Mr.. Hagerty. Di-

his best seasons for the Yankees

Butler Again Asserts
Eisenhower Won't
Seek Another Term

Paul NJ. Butler, chairman Of
the Democratic National Com
mittee, today repeated his pre-
dlction that President Eisenhow-
er will not seek a second term
in the White House.
The Democratic chairman
made no apology for his earlier
statement that the President
would be influenced not to run
by Mrs. Eisenhower's health-a
statement which touched off
angry debate in Congress yes
terday. But Mr.. Butler reiter-
ated:
Frankly. I think he will not
be a candidate for another
term"
In other quarters. however, it
was suggested that the Butler
predictions will make Mr.. Eisen-
hower's candidacy more certain.
They cited the outburst of re-
sentiment in Congress as evi-
dence that Republican Party
leaders want Mr.. Eisenhower to
run and will try to dissuade him
If he shows any inclination to
retire to his Gettysburg farm.
President Reported Angry
There were reports that the
President himself was angered
by Mr.. Buffers reference to the
First Lady's health and it was
learned that the White House
knew in advance that Republic
cans in Congress planned to ex-
press their resentment.
In the wake of the bitter row
his earlier statement produced.
Mr.. Butler still contended today
that the President has not been
happy in the White House, that
what he has found was not what
he expected.
After Republican Senators had
called the chairman "scoun-
drel" and accused him of smear
tactics for saying that Mrs.
EisenhoWer's health would be
one factor in the Presidents de-
cision next year, Mr.. Butler yes
terday issued this formal reply:
"All referred to in answer to
questions by the press were pub
lished reports which have ap-
peared from time to time, that
Mrs. Eisenhower has not been in
robust health, that her strength
has been taxed by her official
duties, and that her mother does
not want her to live in the White
House for another four years. If
these reports are true, I would
think they would exert some in
fluence on her husband.
1T seems to me that the Re-
publicans who are criticising me
so violently on matters already
reported in the press are making
a mountain out of a mole hill.
If their purpose is to persuade
Mr.. Eisenhower to be a candidate
in 1856, they would be better
advised to spend their time in
supporting Mr.. Eisenhower's pro-
gram, instead of wasting it be-
rating me-"
James c. Hagerty. White
House press secretary. replied

Evening star., 1955-03-11

When all the germ laden dust
settles, it will probably turn out
that President and Mrs. Eisen-
hover have about the same state
Of health-and the same mis-
cellaneous aches, pains and
complaints - as the average
couple their age.
At least that appears to be
the case from all the informa-
ton now available.
The big difference between
the Eisenhowers and the aver
age couple, of course. is that the
average couple can be miserable
in private when bug lays one
or both of them low. When the
same thing happens to the
President or the First Lady,
there is a furry of Cancelled ap-
pointments. reports from the
White House physician, reas-
surances from Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty and a great
rash Of speculation over political
implications.
Without even trying, many a
housewife could compile list
of disabilities more impressive
than those ascribed to Mrs
Eisenhower, whose health has
become a matter of great public
interest, thanks to Democratic
Chairman Paul M. Butler.
Heart Murmur Vanishes
She at one time had a slight
heart murmur, said to have been
caused by an attack of rheu-
matte fever in her youth.
She does not like high alti-
tudes. which tend to make her
feel short of breath. Also. like
many people, she has a fear of
high places and complains of
dizziness sometimes in going up
or down steps.
She is what some people would
call little on the frail side'
and is subject to respiratory
infections. Also she has to
watch her weight-that is, keep
1t from getting too low.
Her sister, Mrs. G. Gordon
Moore. told a reporter before the
1862 election that Mrs. Eisen-
hower's conscientious attention
to detail is almost too much of a
good thing. She wastes on tri-
f1es energy that she should con-
serve. z
Described as Slow Starter
Perhaps inS order to prevent
too much of a drain on her ener-
gies, Mrs. Eisenhower is a "slov
starter" according to reports
that is, she likes to take it easy
in the mornings and then pick!
up speed as the day progresses
