House Republicans, as well as Senate Democrats and Republicans, will hold their party caucuses tomorrow morning before the opening of Congress with no major contests scheduled in any of those three gatherings. Reformers seeking to change caucus rules to require secret ballot votes on all committee chairmen and to give the spreaker power to appoint WASHINGTON (UPIi-Meeting for the first lime since last fall's prospect for an early Vietnam peace evaporated. House Democrats today considered new end-the-war measures in a prelude to the opening tomorrow of the 93d Congress.

IN previous years the Senate several times has passed measures designed to slop American participation in the war by shutting off funds, but these measures never have cleared the House. The Democrats re-elected Rep. Carl Albert of Oklahoma as House speaker today, easily turning back a challenge by Rep. John Conyers of Michigan. Albert will be formally elected speaker tomorrow when Congress convenes with Democrats continuing in power as the majority party.

The F'ederal Aviation Administration said none, of the 15 passengers and two crewmen was injured.

"The bombing is quite heavier than anything I was under in London" during World War II, Taylor said. He added that the total destruction was not so great because incendiary bombs were not used on Hanoi.

Maloney said he would try to cut crime by moving "more city police officers away from clerical and traffic duties and into the streets where they will be able to do the job for which they were trained." Although Maloney acknowledged that education was one of the city's major problems, he dewted to the subject only one line: "We are not satisfied with out school system, and will not be until it is on a par with other school districts in the state." MALONEY also touched upon the housing problem in Wilmington, and promised "to implement new approaches to restore many of these properties" that are boarded up. He mentioned no specifics, but as a city councilman, Maloney advocated a homesteading program where the city would take over tax delinquent property and turn it over to new owners who pledged to rehabilitate the houses. Maloney said that a united effort by.hts administration and the city council as well as the General Assembly was necessary to meet the challenges that face the city. But behind the New Year's spirit of fellowship evident at City Hall this morning, there lies the threat of a rupture between Maloney and the city council, which is controlled by Democrats 11-2.

Some members of the new council, who served in the previous term', blocked the introduction last month an ordinance setting up Maloney's staff.

KILEY added that he believed the fire was caused by a cigarette or a match. He said Dollar was a heavy smoker. "We don't feel he set the fire to cover lip a suicide," Kiley said.

Dr. Ali Z. Hameli, state medical examiner, said today his office would not comment on the case until its investigation was complete. He said they have enough raw data to make "a determination as to cause of death. He said no tissue analysis was needed in this case and that no autopsy was required.

Hameli had performed an autopsy in a fire at Delaware State Hospital March 6. Dr. Clyde H. Ward, 48, the hospital's clinical director, was found dead in a burned cottage. Hameli ruled that case a suicide.

Officials said Ward apparently took the poison then set the fire to simulate an accident. ALONG with the cyanide, chemists found carbon monoxide and alcohol in Dollar's blood. The carbon monoxide came from the fire, Kiley said, and the alcohol found was "almost a comatose level." Dollar was a member of the architectural firm of Dollar, Bonner Funk, 2005A Concord Pike.

Bernstein Dry Comments Fill Press Box 707 Cargo Jet Crashes In Canada; Five Killed ARE YOU IN TUNE WITH THIS ONE? By a process known as back clipping, the word synchronization has for some time been shortened to sync in colloquial language. It refers to the fitting together of picture and sound in a movie or of flash gun and shutter in a camera or of any other mechanical harmonization.

But more recently the word has been embedded in a broader, more abstract phrase: out of sync. You will see it used this way: "Mr. Wilson is totally out of sync with modern impulses." That means, of course, that he is out of touch, not plugged in, not with it. Back clipping by the way, is not at all uncommon; we see it in such words as math (from mathematics), taxi Itaxicab), exam (examination), mike (microphone), natch (naturally) and a host of others. The process if not sensaysb, but neither is it ridic.

Not so long ago this rectangle took up the taboo on the use of like, as in, "Winsocki tooks good like an up-and-coming mythological college football' team should." The discussion prompted Jim Blauert of Riverside, to inquire about the following sentence from-Willa Cather's "My Mortal "Her sarcasm was so quick, so fine at the point it was like being touched by a metal so cold lhat one doesn't know whether one is burned or chilled." Is that use of like incorrect? the inquirer inquired.

The answer is no. When used as a preposition, like is properly followed by a noun or a noun equivalent though not by a complete clause with subject and verb). In the quoted sentence the phrase "being touched, etc." is what is called a gerund a verbal noun and it is the object of the preposition like. It is just as proper as to say, "Her sarcasm was like a sword." Speaking or writing properly (to inject a short sermon) is like obeying the law. (c) Tholor M.
