By WILLIAM MORRIS

Today's word game is de-
signed to test your ability to
recognize verbs similar to one
another in meaning. Below you
will find two groups of 10
words each. The first group is
numbered l, 2, 3, etc. The Sec
ond group is lettered A, B, C,
etc.
For each word in the first
group you will find a word of
almost the same meaning "a
synonym in the second group.
Thus the word numbered l may
mean practically the same as
the word lettered F. Write this
down as IF. When you have
all the answers, check against
the correct pairings, at the
bottom.
Note: Score 10 for each COR
rect answer-1O0 is excellent;

Parents Fail
To Free GI


The parents of an l8-year-
old serviceman were frustrated
yesterday in their attempt to
get their son released from the
Army to avoid prosecution by
a court martial, even though
his enlistment was illegal.
In an unanimous opinion, the
United States Court of Military
Appeals ruled that the parents
had moved too late.
The youth, who Joined the
Army in January, 1859, used
forged applications for his en-
listment because he was vhen
under age.
Two months later he told his
parents in Providence, R. I.
that he was stationed at Fort
Bragg, N. c. He went home on
leave in April and later made
out an allotment check to
them.
In August, he was charged
with taking indecent liberties
with a 13-year-old boy. The
next month his parents signed
athdavits stating they had not
consented to his enlistment and
asking for his release.
In ruling yesterday, the high
court said it could not criticize
the parents for what they tried
to do. But they had implied
consent by not attempting to
get his release sooner, it said
1t is fairly inferable the par
entS executed affidavits SOLELY
Tor the purpose of helping their
son avoid criminal prosecution,
the court said.
1t then upheld his sentence
OF six months at hard labor
reduction to the lowest enlisted
grade, total forfeitures and a
bad conduct discharge.

Vocally. the show was pretty
fair, with good performances
turned in by Olivia Bonelli as
Mimi, Calvin Marsh as Schau-
nard. and Rudolf Petrak as Ro-
dolfo, supported by a cast that
rarely sank below the level of
routine competence. The or
cheStra was pretty good in
sound, If sluggish, out-of-tune
and too loud most of the time.
So much for compliments.
The acting was almost incred-
IDLY bad. Not only was every
fusty, malodorous piece of busi-
ness adapted to this show since
1896 brought forth again, but
these tidbitS were immersed in
a general flavor of ham. Some
how these antics of stamping
on each others feet, playing
toss-ball with a synthetic dead
fish, and crashing crockery on
the deck seemed less amusing
than usual.
Maybe acting Is not to be
expected, considering. After all,
the point of the performance
seemed to be the square away
occasionally, so that some
character could sing a pretty
good aria, with gestures. The
absolute worst was the final
scene, in which the heroine
succumbs, tubercle by wasting
tubercle, to her chronic illness,
surrounded by much sympa-
thetic blubbering and an occa-
sional vel poi anguish from the
other characters. She lost her
life before her voice, as custom
ary with this disease in opera.
Anton Guadagno, the con-
ductor, managed to keep things
going with a certain amount of
togethernesS, except in the
scenes that included too much
singing by the chorus. These
mostly fell apart.

friends inherit it but normally

There are strict controls on
this. Commercial exploitation
of such properties is largely
excluded and besides, land on
which you build your dacha
may continue to belong to
the cooperative thr oug h
which you got it. But that
doesn't stop your running the
place as if it were your own

And it is great for the kids.
Our neighbor who owns such
a dacha says the kids go out
and fish all day long, and
come back with a half dozen
tiddlerS 8 to 5 inches long
which mama has to cook to
keep peace in the family. And
by a curious circumstance
special to this country, the

To avoid contretemps such

Nigeria, for instance, which

difficulty, is getting a good
head start independence is
scheduled for next spring..
Working on the assumption
that the tune will be the
hard part, this is being
tackled first and $3.50 will be
paid for the score of a lesser
amount for usable sugges-

dignity and relevance." The

Water From Well

OuLlLllIlS WdIeT lTOIu CIle
nearest WE'LL" is what comes
with many dachaS. The we'll
is geared to provide water for
a dozen or so dachas clustered
along a road or in the edge
of a wood. You go get it with
a bucket.
The idea of a dacha is to
get away from the town, but
not too far away. There are
little specialized communities
OF dachas. For instance, there
is a colony of writer's living
at Peredelkina on one side of
Moscow, and a community of
actors at Negiri. At IStra
there is a colony of scientists,
each with his dacha.
If you are a scientist or a
writer or composer, you don't
have to commute to Moscow
each day and the life in the
dacha can be wonderful. You
chat with your friends, do
your writing or your scien-
tif1c thinking, putter around
the house, repair the door
knob, plant a little garden
and spray the strawberries
just lead the life of a coun-
try gentleman.
The weekend dachniks also
have a nice session from Fri
day afternoon through Sat-
urday and Sunday, and come
to work Monday morning with
their lungs full of oxygen and
their hands full of thorns.
Worth $4,000 Up
How do you get to own a
dacha? Well, there are sew
eral ways. To get one of the
government dachas you can
get elected Premier or First
Deputy Premier or something
like that and a dacha goes
with the job.
Otherwise, the chances are
you will rent one or buy one.
If you own one you can rent
it to others, although such
exploitation of private re-
sources is not looked upon
with favor in this socialist
economy.
More often you join some
kind of cooperative group,
such as one sponsored by your
union, get a piece of land as
signed to you, and build your
own dacha, borrowing union
money to help out. An humble
one or two or three rooms can
be built for 10000 rubles.
That is about $4,000, depend
ing on how you calculate the
exchange rate. That won't
get you much in the way of
facilities but you can add to
the place from time to time
as you can get material as
signed to you through your
cooperative.
One dacha owner I know
has a plot about As feet by
$50, with house and cellar
clubhouse, three apple trees,
three cherry trees and a little
garden. The cellar is i'm
portant because there likely
won't be a refrigerator, either
electric or ice box. Mama can
put up fruit and keep the milk
and butter cool in the cellar.
Once you build your dacha
Jou can let your family or
