about the words that plague

my own most detested word, I

But, besides the technical

irritate you most2 Let me hear
and Wen see If we can't come

Some years ago a writer
about words asked his readers
to name the most beautiful

mother" "love" and so on.
The reply that intrigued me
most, though, was the sugges-

WORDS, WIT

Bx WILLIAM NORRIS

Question: OF all the words
in the English language,
think that vegetable" is the
ugliest. I am curious to know
how it could have survived un-
changed since we inherited II
from the Latin. After all, II
was only a short time before
the voice of the people got rid
Of the ungainly pronunciation
pen ISS-ih-lin (for penicillin)
and substituted pen-ih-SnL-
in.
In the case of vegetable"
the slig hit change that has
been made-the reduction from
four syllables TO three-has
made the word even more awk-
ward. I am probably the only
person who has been bothered
by the word. But 1t does pique
my curiosity as TO why people
will put up with such a top
heavy word when they are too
lazy to pronounce the final e.
on words ending In "ing."-

The Duke Of wellington, or

of Waterloo was won on the

Opening lead: Nine of spades.
West opened the nine of
spades, and East recognized
this as Vests highest spade.
This meant that South held
both the king and queen. Since
there was no advantage In TAX
ing the ace at once, East
signaled encouragement with.
the 10 of spades.
South won with the queen
of spades and led q club to-
dummy's king. He next returned
q diamond to the queen.
West couldn't read the entire
hand, but he did know that
South knew enough to come in
out Of the rain. South wouldn't
be opening up the diamonds If
he had only the queen Of the
suit. What's more, South
wouldn't be working on the dia-
monds at all II he had the ace
of hearts; he would be de-
veloping his hearts.
West trusted his opponent to
be doing what was obviously
best for himself. This meant
that South had the Jack Of
diamonds but not the ace Of
hearts.
Acts on knowledge
West acted on this knowledge
by refusing the first diamond
trick. South next led the jack
of diamonds, hoping to get two
diamonds, two spades. and five
clubs.
West pounced on the jack Of
diamonds with the ace and re-
turned the 10 of diamonds to
force out dummy's king. When
declarer next led q low spade
from dummy East stepped up
with the ace Of spades and led
q heart.
Now the defenders got two
diamonds. two hearts, and the
ace Of spades to defeat the
contract.

as chairman OF the Commissioners Pub
lie Welfare Advisory Council with plea
for a positive, rational approach to the

He reminded the Commissioners
that there is no lasting answer in mere

We Are Not Ashamed

lumbia University? Don't try 1t. In New
York, muggings and purse-snatchings
are regarded as such normal feature Of
metropolitan life that the newspapers
don't bother to report them, which is
one reason why there's very little talk
about the sickness Of New York.
In Washington we have slums, un-
employment and serious racial tensions,
and it's too bad such things exist in the
Capital of our country. But take good
look some day at Chicago or Detroit-or
Baltimore, for that matter. What in the
world gives any other modern city the
right to be SNUG in relation to us?
The truth is, of course, that the
troubles of Washington, d. c., are the
troubles afflicting urban centers today,
some in greater degree, some lesser, but
all typical. This does not mean that
conditions must be accepted; among
ourselves-within the civic family, so
to speak-we are required to take them
to heart and correct them as fast as we
can. But it is possible to be concerned
without losing perspective.
Cities are big, tough, dirty places.
They also are exciting, busy, human,
rewarding places.
This one happens to be great city.
If you haven't done so recently, try
standing on that wide terrace under the
Capitol'S dome, facing west. See what
spreads before you-listen to the hum
of it. Last year something like million
people, more than ever before, came
here from all over just to experience the
thrill Of what we have around us every
day. In spite Of all the talk, 100000
visiting school children dared walk our
streets. The number Of them from out
side the Metropolitan Area victimized
by our crime wave was precisely one.

His Own Man

FRANCIS Il. waiter mas O1Cen Deen
described as a controversial figure.
Which indeed he was. But he also was
very much his own man-as his record
during 80 years Of service in the House
clearly demonstrates.
Mr.. Walter probably was best known
to the public as member of and, more
recently, as chairman of the House
Committee on Un-American Activities.
In this role he was severely and often
unjuStly attacked by the liberals"
Actually, Mr. Walter had done much
to reform the committees procedures.
But it is unlikely that he was greatly
concerned by these attacks. For the
committee enjoyed overwhelming sup
port Of the House-aS shown by re-
peated massive defeats of attempts to
abolish it or curtail its funds. And the
probability is that sentiment through
out the country roughly Appropriated
the division in the House.
The Pennsylvania also came under
liberal" fire for his activity in con-
nection with immigration - especially
unfair" quota provisions. Two years
ago, however, spokesman for the AS
sembly of Captive European Nations
paid tribute to hin-asserting the criti-
cism of Mr.. Walter was unjust and
unfair.
More important than any Of this
was his work as member Of the inner
circle of the House. He was chairman
of the Democratic caucus and chairman
of its patronage neutrality-suspicious.
which made him a man Of much in
fluence. Mr.. Walter was highly esteemed
by the late Speaker Sam Rayburn as
a man and as parliamentarian On
more than one occasion the Speaker
installed Mr. Walker in the presiding
officers chair when knotty problems
came before the House, sitting as COM
mittee of the whole. Mr.. Walter was
also a member of the Board of Edu-
cation" which held AFTERNOONS sessions
in the Speakers office, and, although
not too many people were aware of 1t,
he was vigorous and effective sup
porter of large body of liberal legis-
lation in which he happened to believe
Now that he is dead at SO, 1t surely
is no exaggeration to say that the House

Judicial Abuse

Outrageous is the only word which
describes the language used by Domestic
Relations Judge John H. Burnett in
excoriating Leonard Hardy, Montgomery
County States Attorney.
Mr.. Hardy, as he had a right to
do, had represented a wife who OBJ
tanned an Alabama divorce. At the re-
quest of the husband, Judge Burnett
set the divorce aside on the ground
that it was worthless, which may be
true. At that point, however, he
launched into a TRADE against Mr..
Hardy, calling him a liar, and assert
ing that his conduct was "a sin, a
shame, a disgrace" He waited to do
this until the attorney, having left the
courtroom, was in no position to defend
himself
We repeat that, in our view, this
is an outrageous abuse of judicial au-
thority = the more so since there is
nothing in the record, at least, support
ing the view that Mr. Hardy was telling
anything less than the truth.
The question at the heart of this
dispute is whether Mr.. Hardy used his
official position to put pressure on the
husband to sign papers waving an
appearance in the Alabama divorce case.
The husband testified Mr.. Hardy offered
to dismiss assault and battery charges,
previously lodged by the wife, If he
would sign the waiver. After he signed
the papers, the husband said, "Mr.
Hardy called somebody at the court
and said drop the charges"
This is fatty denied by Mr.. Hardy.
Furthermore, the records of Montgomery
County Peoples Court indicate that the
charges were dropped pursuant to
letter from the wife, dated May 2, 1861,
requesting that they be dismissed. This
letter, accompanied by check for $3.50,
said: II hereby drop charges against
Michael ]. Spatola."
The States attorney has asked the
Montgomery Bar Association to make
a full investigation of the matter-and
this certainly is the least to which he
is entitled. Mr.. Hardy also says he has
met with the Montgomery County cir
cult judges, and that they expressed
full confidence in me-" What is missing
here is some procedure for investigating
Judge Burnett's astonishing perform
ance But apparently there is no ma
chinery for such an inquiry.

Deliberate Speed

dered desegregation, with
deliberate speed. Since

stantially q dead letter, be-
cause Congress and the Exc
cutive have done little to i'm
plement the decision, but
have permitted its obliga-
tons under it to drift with
deliberate tagging and foot
dragging.
The present demonstra-
tons in all parts Of the

ertia Of the Executive and
Legislative branches Of our

ure to give life and meaning

We are Just plain fed to the teeth
with this stupidity monotonous chant
going the rounds about the shame"
the disgrace" the sickness" of Wash
ington. Until recently, the tune was
strictly Dixieland in style. All we had
to put up with was several hundred
Southern editorials and speeches year
pointing out that the District had inte-
grated its schools, and look where it
got us. But suddenly now it seems Just
about impossible to read or listen to
anything from around the country with
out finding this city o. ours denicted
as a criminal jungle redolent with saw
agery and decay.
This thesis, not to put too fine
point on it, is bunch of baloney.
Washington has problems all right,
and they are big ones 1t is well aware
of it's problems. 1t has intelligent ener-
getic citizens working hard to solve
them. Perhaps the most encouraging
sign at the moment is the emergent
willingness Of the Federal Government
to recognize some of the needs of the
Federal city. No one who cares about
the place would dream Of denying that
there is much to do, and that we can
use help.
The pretenSe of these Handwriting
ing alien diagnosticians that Washing
tons body polite is afflicted with some
rare disease is something else again. Any
amount of crime is too much crime. But
on the list of Is American cities with
populations between 100000 and mil
hon-in which we ranked fourth as to
population in 196O-we ranked sixth in
the incidence of crime. And we stood
eighth, or right in the middle, as to
crimes per 1000 population. How long
since you've read anything about the
shame of st. Louis, which ranked first?
Yes, we have violence in the streets,
and nobody is proud of it. But would
anyone like to take walk, say, in lovely
