BALTIMORE, June S - Ev-
cry few years a young golf
pro rises out Of the pack with
every shot at his command and
impresses people so much they
will make the exaggerated
claim that "he should win
every tournament he enters"
Gene Littler probably is the
only player to receive such an
accolade twice in one career.
Littler missed an 8-foot putt
to tie Ed Furgol for the Ma

1854. But he won four tour
naments on the PGA circuit

listened to too many people
and went into what amounted
to a two-year slump. In that
period his swing looked more
like a fisherman casting a fly.
At the relatively tender age
OF %, Littler is back on the
track, thanks to Paul Runyan's
tip to change his grip. Again
golfers are drooling over the
new Littler, as they were the
old. He's won three tourna-
ments this year, is second to
Art Wall in money winnings,
and has considerable backing
for the National Open title next
week.

close to making a DOGGY.
Littler. like everybody else,
benefited from a last-minute
decision to play winter rules

early April. The players could
tee the ball in their own fair
way on the drive, and every

WORDS, WIT AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM NORRIS

"Out in the hinterlandS,"
writes a Reno, New, reader,
I'VE really hear some dandy
APPROXIMATIONS on the radio,
especially during the CONNER
cial announcements. I don't
suppose / have ever heard the
word suite" correctly given in
a furniture ad, but the worst
yet was the other night when
"a leading restaurant boosted
of its unsurpassed KEW-zeen.
i also hear, on cooking pro-
grams. the pronunciation KUL-
in-er-ee for culinary Since
when was that acceptable?"
The pronunciation Of suite"
to rhyme with suit" rather
than with sweet" has become
completely standard in the fur
niture trade. It's deplorable,
In fact, it's worse than that:
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-19

It's downright illiterate-but
there seems to be little the
literate person outside the fur
niture business can do about
it. Perhaps if enough Gus
toners would boycott sales
men who mispronounce suite
something would be accom-
plished-but I'm afraid this is
only wishful dreaming.
Cuisine" of course, has only
one correct pronunciation;

reported - KEW-zeen - can
only result from ignorance.
Moreover, the preferred pro-
nunciation Of culinary" is
KEW-lih-nehr- zee, although one
dictionary does include KULL-

Fact That U. S.-Soviet Talks Have Bequn
Is an Encouraging Sign to United Nations

Algeria was a French internal
matter of no concern to the U. N.
In the 1855 session of the As
sembly Is nations proposed As
sembly approval Of Algerian
independence. There was no
action. At the 1856 session the
Assembly adopted a resolution of
hope that, Gin a spirit of co-opera-
ton, peaceful, democratic, solu-
ton" would be found for Algeria.
The French refrained from voting.
In 1857 the Assembly in another
resolution, urged pourparlers dds
cussions short of negotiations) be-
tween the French and the Algerian
Nationalist. And in 1858. with
the United States abstaining, the
first committee approved a strong
resolution favoring direct nego--
tiations which failed to secure the
two thirds Assembly approval
needed for passage. The vote was
IS for, 18 against, with % abb
stentions.
This session, at the moment,
seems convinced that the recent
proposals of French President de
Gaulle and the conciliatory reply
of the Algerian Provisional gov
eminent offer a definite prospect
Of any early accommodation be-
tween the two parties to bloody
flve-year rebellion. Thus the
Assembly is most unlikely to take
any action whatever so long as
the possibility remains that direct
negotiations between the parties
will take place. Last week the
influence Of Tunisian President
Habib Bourguiba was readily visi-
BILE in the retrained optimism of
those Afro-Asian delegations here
tofore most vociferous in favor Of
Algerian independence.
Council Sect Bottle
The most spectacular fireworks
display expected in this session,
barring the collapse of the Soviet
drive for peaceful coexistence with
a new chilling of the cold war, Is
the battle between East and West
over a temporary seat on the
powerful Security Council. In
that struggle, the Vests candi-
date. Turkey. is being opposed by
the East's candidate, Poland. Last
week it seemed certain that, If
the East could not elect its candi-
date, it could at least prevent the
selection of Turkey.
Background for the battle began
two years ago, when the Vests
choice, Japan, defeated the East's,
Czechoslovakia. In 1855 there had
been a compromise; after Yugo-
slavia for the East and the Philip
pines for the West were deadlocked
in the voting, the Assembly split
the term Of two years between
the two. There was no compromise
in 1857 and this session Poland
promises there shall be none
either.
This important question, plus
the pending resolution condemn
ing Communist China for oppres-
sion and brutalities in Tibet. are
most likely to exacerbate East
West differences at this session.
But many delegates predict that
the imminence Of a summit con-
ference, plus all the signs Of an
East-West detente, will bring
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-10-04

about a strong tendency among
the neutralist nations to shun
direct conflicts between the power
blocs. This could mean an As
sembly session that would prefer
to mark time, awaiting the results
OF summit diplomacy, rather that
to attempt to settle substantive
matters in the U. N. at this point.
Other Pending Business
There are other significant
resolutions pending: The COM
plant, convincingly documented,
of Czechoslovakia that the prin-
ciple Of equitable representation"
in the election of the president of
the Assembly has mot been
consistently applied"
The complaint of Morocco that
proposed French nuclear testing
in the Sahara will pose a danger
to African peoples; midas re-
neWeo proposal That nuclear test
ing throughout the world be
banned forthwith, whatever the
outcome of the Geneva conference
between Britain, the United
States, and the Soviet Union on
the matter.
The question of South Africa's
policy of "apartheid" (proposed by
IL nations representing Europe,
Africa, Asia, the Middle East and
Latin America; and other less
explosive issues.
But the determining factor in
this years session of the Assembly
is going to be the results, however
incomplete, of summit diplomacy.
The course that these impending
negotiations take will certainly
determine the course of the U. N.
deliberations; it would quite prob
ably determine the future of the
U. N. itself. And, many delegates
