WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Here are two words which
I never seem to hear pro-
nounced the same way twice
running" writes q Middletown,
Conn, reader. They are Hiro-
shima and helicopter. Some
times Hiroshima Is pronounced
with the accent on the third
syllable heer : oh SHEE muh
and sometimes with it on the
second syllable ROSH. Which
is correct? Also, I hear both
HELL-ih-cop-ter and HEEL
ih-cop-ter."
The ronunci q ton HIN
ROSH-ih-muh is an attempt
to duplicate the Japanese pro-
nunciation. AS such. 1t is UNI
questionably acceptable, though
it may sound affected to Amer
lean ears. The pronunciation
heer oh SHEE muh, is GER
tainly the one used by the ma
jority Of Americans and
should probably be given pre-
ference.
As to the pronunciation Of
"helicopter." usage is about
equally divided. BY analogy to
the pronunciationS of other
words beginning with the
Greek prefix "heli-" (meanine
a spiraD. the word should be
pronounced with q short "e" in
the first syllable: HELL-ih-
kop-ter. But the American
people have a way Of ignoring
such logic in arriving at pro-
nunciations. so you will hear
HEEL-ih-kop-ter just as often
You'll be safe in using which,
ever comes more naturally to
your tongue.
Perhaps the classic instance
Of American DEPRESSION from
the prescribed pronunciation
was the case Of "penicillin.
When 1t was first announced
its discoverer, Sir Alexander
Fleming, made it quite clear
that the correct pronunciation
was peh-NISS-ih-lin.
The American public cheer
fully ignored his dictate. drew
wholly inaccurate analogy tc
the pronunciation Of pencil
and decided to call the new
wonder-drug pen in Sill in
And that's the way 1t is anc
will remain. Six Alexander tt

Opening lead: Deuce Of clubs
It did, indeed. look like the
chances were slim. There would
have to be Q lucky break in the
trump suit. with four trumps
outstanding, including the
queen and jack. And even II
the trumps were az it appeared

Mr.. Champion got over the
FIRST hurdle by good luck and
over the second by good play,
He won the opening club lead
with dummy's ace and discard

Now If he had taken two
rounds of trumps and then
depended on the hearts break

contract. Instead. he took pre-
cautions against the hearts
breaking badly and as you see,
that was necessary.
Beginning at trick two he
cashed the ace of diamonds. led
Q small diamond and ruffed it.
Then he cashed the king of
spades and led a small spade to
the ace. The 2-2 break kept
his hopes alive. Next he led
another small diamond from
the board and ruffed it, noting
that both opponents followed
suit again.
Now he led q small heart to
dummy's king. played the good
king and nine Of diamonds and
got rid Of two more hearts from

must bind themselves to utilize
these materials for peaceful pur-
poses only.
The expected Statute of the In
ternatiOnal Atomic Energy Agen-
cy says that "the activities of the
Agency shall be carried out with
due observance of the sovereign
rights of States" There is no
definition of sovereign rights of
States" in the text. This raises
the question, would not each
member nation be in a position to
determine for itself just what
constitutes sovereign rights?"
Some country might refuse re-
quired reports and information
on the ground of invasion of SOW
ereignty. Again, we need an
sWers.
1 certainly would not object to
any program which would place
the United States in a favorable
light concerning the peaceful uses
of atomic energy. But in the alb
sence of adequate safeguards, and
the most persuasive answers to
the questions here cited, I could
not vote for this Statute.

International A tonic Energy
Agency.
But, implicit in this proposal
are serious dangers. 1t seems to
me that the International Atomic
Energy Agency must be able to
insure that the materials it pro-
vides will be used for peaceful
purposes only. Yet, in the view
of experts, any nation possessing
nuclear reactors can produce an
atomic bomb. Other authoritative
testimony supports the conclu-
sion that country having re-
actor might secretly siphon off
enough fashionable materials in
two or three years with which to
build several atomic bombs.
What can the proposed agency
do to prevent such an occur
renee? Would the Statute, ap-
proving U. S. membership, pro-
vide sufficient safeguards that
will prevent illegal use of nuclear
materials? What are the contem-
plated costs in dollars and cents,
of American participation? These
are questions which, to my mind,
need answering. Under this plan,
countrie not now possessing
atomic reactors could, upon ap-
plication, obtain fashionable ma
terial to start operations. Those
who advocate the program mini
mize the inherent dangers on the
basis that all recipient nations

In the first place, there is a
great amount of concern over the
so-called Federal grants" to
States for construction or i'm
provement projects.
1t sometimes seems that these
funds, which are actually being
returned - not "given" - to the
States, place local authorities in
the position of the boarder in a
rooming house whose landlady de-
cides to charge him SO day, in
stead of So because of his enor-
nous appetite.
"Oh, please don't" pleaded the
boarder, "it's all l can do now to
eat So worth"
Increased Taxation
In the same way, many political
subdivisions apparently feel that
they should take advantage of
every opportunity to apply for
Federal funds.
This, OF course, causes an in
crease in Federal taxation and
frequently it also results in
boost in local taxes so that
matching funds" can be raised.
Furthermore, it Is extremely
rare for the residents of any area
to concede that the projects pro-
posed for their region might be
unnecessary.
Perhaps most of the items in
this category are, in fact, absol-
utely essential to the welfare of
our citizens.
If so, there is little we can do
except trust that courageous
Americans will not promote plans
which can safely be postponed or
eliminated.
Government Employees
Next there is the question
which has arisen concerning the
number of Federal employees.
Here, again, we can see that
there are certain areas in which
adjustments can be made, but we
must also face some other facts.

During the past four years, the
number of Federal employees
has been reduced although the
population has increased 11-mil-
lion, and requests for government
services have likewise mounted
steadily.
In addition, each new task
which is given to the Federal gov.
eminent requires additional per.
sonnet, and additional salaries,
. and additional revenue to pay
the salaries.
Economy Measures
Those are few of the factors
which confront us when we at
tempt to pare the budget, and we
cannot overcome them unless we
realize that:
l. We MUST decide whether
certain Federal-State undertake
ings are actually worth the money
they will cost.
2. We MUST continue to get
the Federal government out of
operations which should be con-
Quoted by private business or by
local political bodies.
3. We MUST be sure that every
cent we spend buys a cents worth

journey just a little bit thinner.
