His comments In general

Is Expected to Vote Expansion
Some Republicans as well as
Democrats agreed that 10 OF
the Republicans, probably in
GLIDING Mr.. Curtis, who voted
for the 1861 expansion. will do
so in 1868. Three other Re-
publicans who favored enlarge
ment of the committee two
years ago lost Senate bids in
November and a fourth was
elected a Governor.
In the S7th Congress the
committee was increased to 10
Democrats and five Republi-
cans In the hope-not always
realized-of preventing a COM

Southern Democratic conserva-

administration measures. I'm

will consist of four Republi-

actual construction cost esti-

A Missouri Republican who
voted to expand the House
Rules Committee two years age
took a show-me stand today
as high-placed Democrats ad-
mitted they need substantial
G. o. p. support to keep the
committee expanded in the
new Congress.
Representative Curtis Of Mis-
souri,, one Of % Republicans
who sided with 1876 Democrats
to increase the committees
size from IL to Is In January,
1861, indicated he might do
the same next month.
But he did not commit him
self or announce q decision. He
called the Rules Committee
struggle essentially a "phony
issue" and cautioned colleagues
against q trap"

can sources In the House esti-
mated today that at least 20
and possibly as many as 30
G. o. p. members would help
the Democratic leadership in
an expected fight to prevent the
committee from going back au-
tomatically to IL members.
Leaders Cautious
This would bring indispensa-
BILE and perhaps victorious aid
to the Democratic leadership.
But those willing to talk about
the anticipated struggle voiced
only cautious optimism. One
leader said today the fight
might be lost II fewer than 20
Republicans vote for the Is
member system. The 1851 vote
for expansion was 217-212.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

"It's very seldom that I find
the opportunity to disagree
with you," writes Air Force
Capt. Richard c. Hicks from
Omaha. your comments on
the word 'finalize' give me that
opportunity. The synonyms you
list complete. terminate, fin
ish, stop and close) simply do
not fit the meaning conveyed
by 'finalize.'
"The word, at least as it's
used in the United States Air
Force, means to perform those
actions necessary to assure
completion When a superior
officer directs a junior officer
to finalize, the junior performs
the tasks so that the senior
may end, complete, terminate,
finish, stop or close. The staff
officer finalizes so that the
commander may complete"
Weeeell, that's a new slant
on this much discussed verb.
It's apparently fairly new to
the Air Force too, because the
really excellent Air Force Die
tionary, published in 1856,
seems unaware that "finalize"
means taking steps necessary
to but just short of completion
of an action. This dictionary
defines "finalize" as Ito bring
an action to a close; to finish
a report. plan or the like" 1t
also lists the word as cant"
which is not a pejorative word
as used here; it merely means
that this word is part Of the
special jargon of the service.
If "finalize" is to acquire the
meaning that Capt. Hicks says
it already has, at least in his
area of the Air Force, I can
have no objections. AS I have
often said, no one can legislate
language and many words have
changed their meanings with
the passage of time. 1t seems
unfortunate. though, that a
word whose every connotation
is one of finality, of ending
something, now seems to be
used to designate all steps
short of ending.
