He said that he hadn't heard

A lingistic expert had a word
right out of Webster'S Third

yesterday for critics Of the big

The word is "booboisie," an
H. L. Mencken term defined in
the controversial new un-

sidered boobs."
Dr.. James H. Sledd of North.

after hostile popular reviewer;
of the Third International al
the annual spring meeting OF
the American chronological So
ciety in the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
A root of the trouble. he said,
is the photographers unpopu-
lar insistence that they aren't
legislators, but historians of the
language.
Cite PermiSSiveness
One criticism of the new Mer-
riam Webster's is that it doesn't
lay down the law on English,
but is guilty of permissiveness
toward the language as it de-
VelopeS in usage.
The listing of the word
amt" in the new dictionary
included because it is used
orally in most parts of the
United States by many culti-
waited speakers"-Set off a hunt
for other dirty words" DR..
Sledd related.
Before anyone had a chance
to look at the dictionary,
amt made shock news in the
papers, and when the New York
Times and Life m a G azine
sounded off. the hullabaloo be-
gan in earnest" he said.

health officials admitted that
Mr.. Mullaney's private water

They ordered him to enlarge
his septic tank capacity, install

make other improvements.
This was not the kind oi
action that Mr.. Mullaney. and
a neighbor, G. Yates Cook. ex-
pected when they filed separate
suits against the county and
various county officials last
month.
Enforcement Loose
The suits brought the water
contamination problem into
focus, and led to Health De-
partment admission that its in
vestigators were not strictly
enforcing laws governing septic
tank installation.
Mr.. Cook, of 9517 Accord
drive, Potomac, had asked the
county for damages and for
official action to nullify his
contract with the builder who
sold him a $4,000 home which
the county later said was unfit
for humans without improve
ment in its septic system.
Today's letter was drafted as
county attorneys filed answers
to both suits in Circuit Court.
The county claims in the
answers that its health officials
have already acted to correct
possible health hazards, and
that Mr.. Cook can regain any
losses involving his home by
civil court action.

The indictment also gave a
few clues into the nature Of

establishing that Detective

to the investigation the indict-
ment said that the jury was
looking into "the identity and
actions of an individual or in
dividuals" who might have en-
tered Mr.. Dungan's hotel room

''for the purpose of operating a

ing into possibility of bribery
