WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
KERRY DRAKE
POGO
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Question. What is the origin
Of "snob"? c. r., Yorktown
Heights. N. Y.
Answer. "Snob" comes from
an Old Morse word 'snapr,"
meaning dolt. Amazingly
enough, the first "snobs" were
low-born people Of no wealth
or social position. Gradually,
perhaps under the influence of
the word "snub," a snob be-
came a person who pretends to
a higher social status than he
merits, one who snubs every
one he regards as inferior and
tries to associate with people
he secretly regards as his su-
periors.
Question. I read your fas-
cinating column regularly and
usually agree with you. About
a year ago, though, I was a
bit hurt by your labelling as
"uneducated" the use of "bak-
cry" for baked goods" Il
thing the question was from
somebody in Milwaukee, too.)
While it may be incorrect,
nearly everyone have asked
says bakery" except those not
originally from this area. Most,
like myself, weren't even aware
that they were using the word
incorrectly. To those of us
raised on good Milwaukee
bakery" saying baked goods"

Ipartment and the West Berlin

Earlier, State Department
Press Officer Lincoln White
issued a statement giving this
account:
when appraised Of the de-
partment's view that involve
ment of, American television
personnel in clandestine tun-
mel operations was both dam
gerous and irresponsible, the
Columbia Broadcasting System
promptly and laudably with
drew from a tunnel project.
This was greatly appreciated.
"NBC was made equally
aware of the departments view
that such involvement was
risky, irresponsible, undesir-
able and not in the best in
Iterests Of the United States.
NBC chose to continue with
its tunnel project.
Up to NBC
1.-THE remaining question of
whether the resulting film is
to be telecast by NBC in the
face Of protests from West
Berlin, including that city's
Senate, and representations
from the Federal Republic of

ut is not the departments
view that television Of the
completed film will risk lives
of those who participated in
the tunnel construction or
escape.
1.-THE department has re-
ceived assurances from NBC
that the film has been so
edited as to preclude the iden-
tifications of any persons ex-
cept for some who gave explicit
permission to be so shown"

The NBC statement. issued
by William r. McAndrew, ex-
ecutive vice president, said
meetings with State Depart

fication of a number Of points.
He listed them as:
81. The filming by NBC News
of the tunnel operation was
completed without injury to
anyone.
20. The East Germans came
safely into West Berlin. There
was no compromise with secu-

New York (lFPs) - MAS. has selected Navy Cdr. Walter N. Schirra Jr. to pilot it's next manned space flight, 8 six orbit mission scheduled for September.
 : Astronaut Schirra s flight will land in the Pacific instead of the Atlantic as in the two earlier orbital man-ir-- space missions. The recovery area was shifted since the capsule would not pass over the Atlantic impact zone again after three orbits until the 18th orbit.
 The new area will also tend the period of daylight required for safe recovery Of the astronaut. If Schirra takes off from Cape Canaveral at 7 am. for example, he would land after six orbits before noon local Pacific time.
 Project Nercury's Pacific recovery area is near Midway Island, about l,l5O miles northwest of Hawaii.

WindfaIIProfii
On StockpiIe
Copper Seen
BY the Associated Press

Senate Stockpiling investi-
gators have been told copper
mining companies under con-
tract to the Government were
allowed to divert their ship
ments and sell to industry at
high profits.
As a result, witnesses told
the Senate Stockpiling sub
committee yesterday, the min
ing companies reaped nearly
So million in windfall profits.
The testimony came as the
subcommittee, headed by Sen
ate Symington. Democrat of
Missouri, investigated copper
stockpiling practices following
a copper strike in 1954-5.
Senator Symington said the
strike resulted in a copper
shortage in United States in
dustrial plants, threatening to
curtail or close operations there.
Sell to Industry
Because of this, Senator
Symington said, mining COM
panies that were under con-
tract to deliver copper to the
stockpile or Government inven-
tories were permitted to sell
this copper to industry rather
than Government"
Subcommittee Counsel r. c.
Coburn said the March-June,
1855, shipments of three COM
panies were Cancelled, permit
ting them to sell 6,378,000
pounds of copper to private in
dustry at prices considerably
higher than Government con-
tract prices.
Mr.. Coburn read a letter
from the General Account
ing office which said cancel
lation of the contracts would
result in windfall profits Of
some 100000 to the three pro-
ducers.
