Tetragrammaton "a Won
derful word, did you ever hear
of it?
.Templeton Jones hadn't and,
with his usual brashness, de-
fined it as zone of those new
hi-fi sets with four speakers"
Jones was woefully wrong,
as he often is.
Tetragrammaton means the
unutterable name of God, the
four consonants forming the
Hebrew "incommunicable
name" of the Supreme Being.
Nobody knows exactly what
the name was, but it has been
represented as IHVH, JHVH,
JHWH, YHWH, etc.
Attempts have been made to
I'LL In these letters, such as
Yahweh, and so on.
X *
Tetra, of course, means four,
having four or more parts.
It is interesting to realize
that the tetragrammaton to-
day seems more like the call
letters of some radio station.
Crossword puzzles ride on
streams of vowels, so that in
them, at least, the vowels are
more important than the con-
sonants.
A, e. /, o and u take on vast
Importance in crossword puz-
zles, as they do, indeed. in
words themselves.
Leaving the vowels out would
be strange. 1t is only when we
do so, perhaps. that we see how
important they really are.
Whether Johnny knows how
to read or not. he ought to
know how to spell.
And that is where the die
tionary comes in.
Templeton Jones was not in
the least ashamed of himself
when his flip definition was
shown to be hokum.
"It just points to the need
for the big dictionary" he
grinned.
He was right.
There is no more important
book, with the exception of
our Bible, in the daily life.
The really big ones are too
big, and the smaller ones often
do not have the very word you
are looking for. Huge diction-
aries are best kept on a table,
lying open at about the middle.
Temp Jones was brought up
on one of the big ones in one
of these spraddle-legged iron
stands.

Takes Issue With Series

Having just returned from
my third trip abroad in five
years, trips which brought me
into intimate and official con-
tact with our consular and
embassy officials In most of
Western Europe, I was aston
ished to read the inaccurate
and misleading stories by Ben
Bagdikian concerning our For
eign Service.
AS an American citizen, I
returned from this latest visit
full of pride in the devotion.
patriotism and hard work of
our Foreign Service officers.
many of whom are serving at
personal sacrifice in posts
which offer considerably less
than the comforts of home.
In not one instance did I find
q man or woman in Govern
ment service abroad who evil
denced the slightest degree Of
fear either of the Communist
enemy or of our own security
forces. On the contrary, mo-
rale is high. there is q deter
mination on the part of each
individual to retain his Amer
ican identity, to thwart the
efforts Of the Communists to
interfere with American policy
and to serve this country well.
The Department Of State
does not exercise security con-
trolls beyond those exercised by
other executive departments
and, traditionally. the stand
ards of selection of personnel
assigned to foreign stations
have always been high. It is
proper that these standards
should be maintained. To de-
fend those people who have
not measured up to those
standards and who have, by
their failure, cast q shadow
over all those who are devoted
to the best interests of the
United States is. at best, in
bad taste. More than that, it
is q disservice to the best in
terests Of this Government.
In all Of my contacts with
our Governme ent service
abroad, I have yet to find any
where any individual who ex-
pressed openly or by sugges-
tion any fear Of our security
forces. On the contrary such
fears have only come to my
attention in hysterical and
utterly mislea ding stories.
Whether in Government or in
business, there are always ele-
ments who are dissatisfied,
ambitious. jealous or subject to
the other emotions which
plague all human beings. There
is probably no more Of this,
and no less. among our per-
sonnel abroad than there is
elsewhere in the world. In
these troubled times, it is un-
derstandable that our Govern
ment and those who are
charged with the security of
our affairs should be doubly
vigilant. If they were not so.
we would soon cease to exist
as a Nation.

what has happened all of a sud

you're not trying to hit on Elsie
