WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

@. A columnist recently used
a word that I have never seen
before, "sensically." I tried to
find it in my dictionary but
failed. Is there such a word?
If SO, what does it mean?-Mrs.
Edith G. Ward, Silver Spring,
Md.
A. Not having my col
leagues column in hand, I
can't be sure just what he
meant, but my guess is that
he was playing a game long
popular among word buffs-
the creation of non-existent
words by the clipping of pre-
fixes or suffixes from we'll
known words. This sport was
so popular a few years ago
among staff members of one
New York newspaper that an
informal and convivial group
called the Society for the
Restoration of Lost Positives
was formed.
Its goal was to popularize
such words as "couth,"
"kempt" and "sheveled." The
roster of such frankly frivolous
lost positives" goes on almost
endlessly and the game can
be a great deal of fun. Your

dulging himself in a lost posi-
tive" derived from "nonsen-
sically."
In his defense he might we'll
cite the immortal lines of that
master of nonsense, Lewis Car
roll, who, speaking with the
voice of Humpty Dumpty in

Offered q License

Rosenberg Asserts
By CHARLES d. PIERCE
and ROBERTA HORNIG
Star staff Writers

A used-car dealer who had
lost his license charged last
night that he had been told if
he paid enough, a District en-
ploye would help him get his
license back.
The charge was made by
Ross Rosenberg who is now
appealing to the District Board
of Appeals and Review because
he has been denied a new
license.
Mr.. Rosenberg also con-
tended that he had previously
been forced to pay bribes to a
District employe in order to
avoid trouble with the Dis
trict government.
District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner said the Board OF
Commissioners today turned
over to Acting Police Chief
Howard v. Covell and Deputy
Chief John B. Layton all of the
material in the Commissioners
possession relating to the
: charges made by Mr.. Rosen-
berg.
CHARGES Not Filed
Deputy Chief Layton said
that during the past several
months he has been investigat-
ing, at the request of the Com
missioners, some rumbles" in
volving used car dealers and
their licenses. He said, how
ever, that information obtained
in the probe so far does not
warrant the filing of charges.
Mr.. Rosenberg said he hoped
to document his charges at a
Board of Appeals and Review
hearing when he testifies, pos
sibly today.
The controversial case earlier
brought charges from Frederick
L. Haller, chairman of the Dis
trict'S Board of Appeals and
Review, that Representative
Mcmillan, Democrat of South
Carolina. has used pressure in
an attempt to have the District
issue a new license for Mr.,
Rosenberg.
Mr.. Mcmillan has phoned
and written letters to District
officials suggesting that Mr..
Rosenberg should be given a
license and a trial" if his new
firm "is willing to abide by the
present regulations
Mr.. Mcmillan denied he was
applying pressure. He then
named a special House District
subcommittee to check on the
complaints made to Congress
against District officials and
their handling of laws. Mr..
Haller, in turn, said this ac-
ton was "reprisal."
Sports Car Mentioned
An expensive sports car then
rolled into the case.

show that the sports cal
was made available for q

Resignation of Lloyd

LONDON, July Is (AP).-
Chancellor of the Exchequer
Selwyn Lloyd stood up in Par
lament today to defend his
new austerity program and
touched off a bedlam of shouts
from opposition LaboriteS de-
manding his resignation.
Smiling and unruffled, Mr..
Lloyd outlined a long-range

provoked considerable opposi-

The Trades Union Congress,
