Mountain Woman Connat Understand Student Finding Column To Be Difficult EAR MARY HAWORTH: I want to answer the college student who thinks your language is keyed too high for the ordinary person to understand, especially if he (or she) hasn't finished grade school or high school. He says the professors and students of psychology at his university endorse your advice about 95 per cent of the time; but at times, he says, they have to study some of your paragraphs very carefully to get the exact meaning. I think it is terrible if such highly educated people can't understand what you write. If they are so dumb, I think they should go back to grade school and start over, Don't you agree? I only went through free school, way up in the mountains, and the seventh grade was'as high as they taught us. But believe it or not, I read all your pieces in the paper and can understand them all just- fine.

I think you do a grand job. But what I can't understand is why anybody in an university can't see what you mean, All my friends read your column, and none of us has been to high school. Please print this for V. F. to read.

(Signed) J. G. MANY SEEK LEARNING VIA THEIR NEWSPAPER EAR MARY HAWORTH: Having read your reply to the college student who criticized your vocabulary and style, 1 would like to remind him that formal education alone doesn't give its very fortunate recipient a monopoly on the ability to understand thoughtful writing. Many people, like myself, receive most of their education from the newspaper; and too many pseudo-intellectuals feel that the general public must be spoken to as children, Please, Mary, continue your fine articles as you were, and never treat us as if we couldn't pass an entrance exam to kindergarten, I am a young wife and mother, very happy and contented, and sometimes 1 forget that others have heartaches and problems; yet I must be aware of such things if I am to give my children a better preparation for life thnn I had. That's why I value your column, keeps me closer to life; and it is as much part of my day as D.

DAD STUDIES COLUMN. THEN THE DICTIONARY EAR MARY HAWORTH: Like the college student, I too am concerned about your terminology, not for myself but because of my parents, who your column daily. nj They have been married 24 years "and they married at a very young age, so that I grew up with them, more or less, as I am now 22. I have seen their many emotional conflicts and trials; and in recent months my father has changed completely. He is considerate to mother, loving and trying earnestly to overcome a case of jealousy.

Then- lives have been completely changed and they are very happy. You have a great power in your hands, so please use it to help the common man. My father sits with a dictionary as he goes through your column. Don't gel me wrong, he isn't stupid; but his vocabulary definitely doesn't equal yours. (Signed) C.

B. OUR PREFERENCE IN DICTIONARIES EAR READERS: I've had a large and lively mail on the subject of one commentator said, on my "precision- use of English," At present count, the majority vote is favorable, for which I am grateful, in view of the saying, true of writers, "The style is the man," I've chosen the above letters for publication because they speak for the plain people and confirm my belief in their native intelligence and basic hunger for adult reading matter. Now, aside to C. may 1 say: I'm delighted, not chagrined, to hear your father uses the dictionary, to improve his grasp on new ideas. That's real in the final analysis, people grow by their own efforts, as he is doing.

And to all who need a good dictionary I recommend Webster's Collegiate, Fifth H. iCopyriRlit, Tilt Wnshlnglon vcsti IN CAPSULE FORM Extra Money Would Go For "Home Relief" Committee Hears Arguments For Expanding Aid To Needy iBy The Associated Presai WASHINGTON, Feb. 28, The administration asked Congress today for a $200,000,000 to expansion of its present year program for helping thc 'needy. Thc extra money would go toward "home relief" cost of medical all needy people, Arthur AHmcyer, commissioner for social security, presented to the ways and means committee the administration arguments, They covered today the first phase relief for the or President Truman's legislation for a vast expansion of the social security program, Social security, Altmeycr said, has achieved its primary immediate objective, to abolish the poor house, bui the Jong range goal of "preventing destitution" is yet to bo met. Mr, Truman wants federal financial aid extended to all needy people, up to $100 a month for a couple, and $20 for eacli additional person in a needy home.

Federal assistance, in money matching with thc slates, now Is limited to needy aged, the blind and to dependent children. Altmeycr appeared as the commiUcc opened public hearings into Mr. Truman's overall" legislation calling for; 1. Direct relief for all needy persons; 2. Blanketing of 20,000,000 more lawyers, farmers, businessmen, servants and olh- old age insurance, upping thc total covered to 3.

Greatly increased benefits; and 4. in some cases, security lax on pay checks and payrolls. 1 Thc President promised legislation later proposing a national program of health new payroll taxes and the government paying doctor calling for expansion of unemployment compensation laws. AHmcyer told the committee 5,000,000 Americans already receive some form of public assistance, amounting to a fedcral-slatc-local total of almost $2,000,000,000 a year. This is apart from the old age and survivors insurance benefits that arc paid for in special taxes upon workers and their bosses.

States set the size of public assistance payments. They ranged last December from $16.38 per recipient in Mississippi to $78.18 in Colorado. The federal government now enters thc matching arrangement up to $50 per recipient elderly person. Thc 5,000,000 include 2,500,000 needy old people, 1,700,000 persons in families receiving aid to dependent children, 86,000 blind persons, and 800,000 needy persons who do not fall within these three categories. Thc federal government puts up $1,000,000,000 a year in a money-matching arrangement with thc states, for aid to the: needy aged, the blind Mrs.

S. to a defensive regional alliance with Western Europe. Senator Taft (R-Ohio) sounded a call of opposition to the arms program over the week-end.

He said the sending of military equipment to the Western European nations might be an invitation to Russia to atari a fight, rather than an encouragement to peace. Taft argued that the projected North Atlantic security treaty is a defensive arrangement and would be so recognized by other nations; therefore, he said he supported it, On the other hand, the Ohioan said he thinks that if this country decides to help re-arm Europe it might give cause to the Russians to feel they arc being ringed with military nations. In that case, he said they might decide to attack quickly, Senator Pepper (D-Fla), a member of the Senate foreign relations committee, who pleaded a year ago for a better understanding with Russia, said he supports the security treaty and the rearming of Western Europe, Pepper told a reporter he thinks an association of friendly North Atlantic nations is justified "until we got an effective international police force." And he added that he doesn't see how any defense agreement can bo effective unless its members are prepared to fight if they have to. "If wo are going into a mutual aid program with these Western European nations," he said, "I don't see how we can avoid giving them arms." This week will be one of the climactic periods in the development of (he proposed security program. Here is the outlook: 1, Secretary of State Achcson and the representatives of Canada.

Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg are due to meet Monday or Tuesday in another treaty drafting session. Achcson and the others hope to have the draft complete by the week-end. 2, Some further meeting between Acheson and the Senate foreign relations committee is regarded as possible although plans were not fixed. Senator Vanden- bcrR (R-Mich) said yesterday that he considered progress on the pro- jact satisfactory- 3, The Norwegian government is expected to reach a formal decision favoring Norway's adherence to the treaty. The negotiators here may conic to some agreement on the timing of an invitation to Norway and other nations, in the North Atlantic area which will be brought into the treaty talks.

4, Along with the pact negotiations, the U. S. and the Western European countries are now working at top speed to complete plans for the so-called mutual aid military program. Military and state department officials here have been screening European arms needs estimates for several weeks. This week may give the European military leaders the first official word of what they can expect from the U.

S. Some congressional opposition may develop around the issue of cost- Present prospects are that President Truman will ask Congress for about $1,000,000,000 to start arms flowing to Europe. He would then draw heavily on stocks of surplus war materials in order to provide arms quickly and the large quantities if and when Congress authorizes the undertaking. Altogether, the European countries may get between $2,000,000.000 and $3,000,000,000 worth of American military equipment in the first twelve months of the program. TULSA.
