But a review of traffic fatal
tiles over the past 10 months
prompted both Mr.. Keneipp and
Mrs. Silver to agree that many
cases where licenses should have
been. revoked Immediately were
allowed to slip through out OF
sheer lack of a uniform system
In the past Is months, nine
cases were picked up because the
drivers had no permit or were
driving on revoked permits. They
have been blacklisted. In two
cases, licenses were suspended
under. the Driver Responsibility
Law. One drivers license was
picked up because it had already
been revoked in Maryland al
the time he was involved in q
traffic fatality here. Several
were revoked after police called
Mrs. Silver's attention to a
particularly bad case and a few
were revoked on points. But al

conviction were still driving al

ton.
Action Late in Some Cases
Mr.. Keneipp acknowledged
that some of the actions that
were taken resulted in permit
revocation many months after
the accident. That is why he has
asked for immediate reports SC
that whatever action is taken
occurs promptly.
Mr.. Keneipp said if all charges
are dropped - both negligent
homicide and traffic-the driver
could apply for a hearing to have
his permit reinstated. But he
said if the driver was cleared Of
negligent homicide but forfeited
collateral or was convicted on
traffic charges in connection with
a fatality, proceedings could be
instituted or-if already settled
could stand.
He said immediate action
against drivers was most likely
where the death car driver was
under the influence of alcohol
at the time of the accident.

PerIman in Line
To Get Tydings'
ConventionSeat

BALTIMORE. July % (R.-
The selection of a stand-in for
Willard T. Tydings cas- a delegate
to the Democratic National Con-
vention was the chief topic Of
discussion today as other dele
gates assembled for brieflng.
Mr.. Tydings, the party's NOM
inee for the Senate, is recover

skin ailment. He said he was
passing up the convention to
rest and plan his campaign
against Republican Senator But
Ter.
Philip B. Perlman, former So
licitor general and a veteran
party leader. was regarded as
the best bet to be named to the
delegate post vacated by TydingS.
Bypassed in Revolt
Mr.. Perlman was bypassed
for the delegation at the State
convention in a fractional up
rising. Forces which supported
George P. Mahoney, who mar
rowly lost the senatorial NOM
nation to Mr.. Tydings, gained
control Of the party from the
so-called "Old Guard"
Since then, Michael j. Birm.
ingham has said efforts were
being made in the interest of
party harmony to find a spot on
the delegation for the former
solicitor general, an Old Guard
leader. Mr.. Birmingham was
named at the convention to re-
place Mayor Thomas D'Alesan-
dro of Baltimore as national
committeeman.
However, State Chairman T.
Barton Harrington who has
taken exception to Mr.. Birming-
hams harmony plan, must name
Mr.. Tydings' successor.
Mr.. Harrington has not been
available for comment since Mr..
Tydings announced his with
drawal Saturday.
Meeting Slated Today
The delegation, like others
throughout the Nation, is assem-
bling today to receive instruct.

The vice-chairmanship was
expected to go to A. Gordon

Mr.. TydingS, in his announce
ment, said he hopes to leave

near future"
But, he said, IT have lost
weight and will need some time
to regain my full strength in
preparation for the fall CAM

tors, have decided it will be
better to forego the trip to Chi
cago as a member of the Mary
land delegation to the Demo-
cratic National Convention.
The announcement tended to
spike recurrent rumors that
Mr.. Tydings might withdraw as
the nominee for the Senate.

He got out of the boat at the first
blind, and stayed aboard and carried
out orders as he yelled them to me. First
dumped the wooden decoys overheard,

about thirty yards from the blind. Then

A WORD
TO THE WISE
BY MRS. FRANK COLBY

Words are mysterious and ex-
citing things, full of pitfalls,
contradictions, and bombshells.
And when one begins to pry into
their secrets, many surprising
phenomena come to light.
Ask any person what a COM
mentator is, and he will answer.
why a commentator is a fellow
who goes to the microphone and
comments about current affairs" :"
But the word is from the Latin
commentum, which means "a
fiction; an invention; a false
hood" And the word commen-
tary is from the Latin commen-
tarius. meaning "a memorandum;
a notebook" So, in the literal
sense, commentator is a person
who invents a lot of untruths and
writes them down in a notebook.
What is an idea? That's easy,
one says. An idea is simply a
kind Of thought. But is it? The
ancients thought of ideas as if a
man were looking out Of long
tunnel and seeing the small and
f1eeting pictures of persons or
whatever else passed by. That is
why the Latin word idea, from
the Greek idein. literally means
Ito See."
Ask any soldier what a grenade
is. He'll say. Its a handful of
sudden death" But originally the
French word grenade had only
this meaning. "a pomegranate."
And a grenadier meant and still
means "the pomegranate tree"
Grenades were so called because
of their resemblance to the POM
egranate.
Now let us ask a labor leader
a question? What is a picket?
Without a moments hesitation
he will answer, "A picket is one
of our boys walking back and
forth in front of the establish
ment of an enemy of organized
labor" But. strictly speaking, a
picket is a pointed stake, as in a
picket fence; or in stalking out
livestock. Picket is from the
French verb piquer. meaning Ito
pierce" and it has also given us
the words piquant. pique. pick,
pike, pickerel, peck. and, stranger
still. picnic.
