Do you say "it is me" instead of "it is Don't worry about it or you may develop an inner conflict and become confused and insecure, says a Cornell University authority on languages. When someone asks you who you are, go right on saying "it's me." "A dictionary or grammar is not as good an authority for your speech as the way you, yourself speak," says Prof. -Robert A.

Hall, of Cornell's division of modern languages. Hall contends the English language and our teaching of It are cluttered up with "folk-loristic notions" and "school dogmas." He says language purists "tell us we must not say it one way, we must say it another their way." "The result is," Hall continues, "we are confused and insecure. We develop conflicts within ourselves on such points and, in the end, no longer know what we should say." Hall coupled his broadside at rules and "authority" with a plea for "linguistic liberalism" in his just-published book, "Leave Your Language Alone!" His own rule for "good" English is this: "English which gets the desired effect with the least friction and difficulty for its user.

Foreign Trade Minister Georg Handke told newsmen attending the opening of the Leipzig Fair of the plans to tie East Germany into an inter-contlnental Russian-led trade bloc. The fair is a bid by Russian-occupied Germany for world trade.

Handke said he is going to Moscow this week to conclude the East German Republics first trade pact with the Soviet Union. He said negotiations in Moscow have already arranged for Russia to deliver, not only foodstuffs, but industrial raw materials "which exceed our expectations by far" to Germany. "When the public learns the size of this agreement," he said, "it will have clear proof of how the Soviet Union's trade relations with friendly states contributes to the rebuilding of their peace economies." East Germany's industry is dominated by Soviet stock companies which have taken over pre-war German firms. Russia takes a large, but officially secret, share of current production as reparations. Handke said at least 80 per cent of East Germany's trade is with Russia and countries in the Soviet sphere.
