(EDITOR'S !OTE: This dispatch um filed from the atomic bomb testing urea only shortly before the first test bomty uas scheduled to be dropped.) ABOARD USS APPALACHIAN BIKINI ATOLL (Via Navy Radio) This reporter does not intend to delve into the scientific aspects of encounter evidence of the importance of semantics, as have mentioned before in this column the importance of words, of their meanings, and of the necessity that the meaning in which the speaker or' writer uses them Is the same attached to them by the listener or I readerA few days ago - I f" I I received " Cj miiiffffll Baukhage letter from a listener lamentjrig what she called one of our greatest troubles today lack of faith In our leaders. She then described her consternation when she heard Senator Baikleys gushing and flowery talk nominating Franklin Roosevelt for President In 1944. after hearing the senators famous revolt speech sharply criticizing the President's veto message in the tax bill tile previous February. To Washington, there was nothing Inconsistent in those two performances at all. What happened was this: two persons who had worked together In a common cause fell out. Amends were made, and still loyal to that cause, the man who had been affronted registered his complaint, and then, feeling that the virtue of his position had been recognized, took up his labors in the common cause again. Perhaps that explanation would satisfy my disillusioned listener, had It not been for the fact that she not only misinterpreted the significance of Senator Barkleys speech, but actually put into his mouth words that he didnt use. She said that Barkley had said that the President wag dishonest, and that he (Mr. Roosevelt) knew he was dishonest Now, by Interesting coincidence, something had recalled that sNerh of Mr. Barkley's to my attention only a day or so before 1 received the letter. A loyal toller In the Democratic party had remarked to me that the senator from Kentucky, having served as majority leader longer than any man who has held that job in the senate, had increased tremendously in stature in the eyes of supporters and opponents. And, my friend explained, it was his revolt of February 23, 1944, which marked the moment when Barkley began to wax In the favor of opponent and supporter alikel As a result of the coincidence the letter and the remarks of my friend I reread the revolt speech. Nowhere in it did Senator Barkley accuse the President of being dishonest. But it is easy to see how a listener might have missed the shades of meaning in the speakers words. However, those words, correctly interpreted. I feel certain, reflected precisely the feeling of the senator. Had he wished to go further, he could easily have done so. Regent Personal Slap at Congress There were two especially sharp passages in Barkleys talk. The President had charged In his message (vetoing the tax bill) that "it is squarely the fault of the congress of the United States in using language in drafting the law which nut even a dictionary or a thesaurus can make clear. There was a biting, personal flavor in that sentence which congress as a whole, and Barkley individually and as majority leader, could not help resenting. If it (the above Barkley said: statement) was made by anybody who ever sat in a tax committee meeting, it was a deliberate and in order to unjustified place upon congress the blame for universal dissatisfaction with tax complexities and in order to produce the illusion that the executive departments have In vain protested against this complexity. Here one can see that Barkley is defending the integrity of the congress. He did not spare his anger at the affront. But, since he knew FDR had never sat in a tax committee meeting, he wasnt placing the onus entirely on the President. There was one other sharp riposte in which Barkley came stdl nearer BARBS The to making, but did not actually make, the dishonesty charge. He said the President used a method of calculation which obviously was handed to him by a mind more clever than honest It was natural to assume that some White House advisor had produced the data, and in all likelihood, that some literary aide had written the veto message Indeed, one of the columnists omnisciently announced at the time that it was the work of Judge Rosenman. As a matter of fact, I can state with absolute certainty that tiiat was one of the few speeches which President Roosevelt, who was good and mad because congress had refused to give him the tax bill he wanted, wiote himself, inditing the entire philippic with his own hand Whether Senator Barkley would have replied with greater or less vigor had he known the actual authorship, I do not know. The fact remains, however, that he said what he meant and meant what he said Nowhere did he call the President dishonest He did establish his own independence, and that of and probably did the President a favor by warning him against allowing his emotions to get tiie better of him In Baikleys deliveiy of the speech, and his nomination of President Roosevelt less than six months later, there was nothing inconsistent. Certainly nothing winch, when understood, should shake tiie pub- lies faith in the public man. LOST COLONY, con-gies- s. drama, presented VOV r ?

It might have been otherwise. The newly appointed and not over popular Secretary of the Treasury Sny-de- r might have had to move next door.

A certain amount of speed is desired at times when a presidential partv is passing through strange territory but, as a rule, the White House chaulleurs who are specially picked men, loaned by the army, if left by themselves, lean to the safe and not the sorrv side. At least one President was forced to change his automobile habits President Hoover had a fishing lodge at Rapidan in Virginia, some 85 miles from the Capital. Hoover believed that time was money. He was always a hard worker, and when hed finished fishing, he wanted to get away from there and back to his desk. It was a job for the Secret Service nun and newsmen to keep up and keep on the road. Those mad chases were the subject of considerable convei sation by the correspondents and aho their It was not considered a wives. choice assignment.

Mysteriously, the brother of Chief Wanchese is killed; the Indians become hostile, and the tragic finale of the Lost Colony plays itself out in mysteiy. But the dramatist's epilogue, rampant with stirring lines and inspiring music, leaves no doubt that the colony was really the beginning of a new nation, of America. Paul Green wrote Lost Colony as his contribution to the culture of his home state. He presented it, in toto, to the people of the Virginia Dare country, and received no royalty from its production, nor has he allowed rights to any dramatic or cinema companies. The entire per-- f irmance was broadcast by the Columbia Broadcasting company in 1939, and the author has prepared a book on the text which is on general sale. FDR Saw It. Fiist presentations were sponsored and managed by the Roanoke island historical , society, a local group organized to take care of the multitudinous details of the actual staging In five years, almost a spectators, among them President and Mrs. Roosevelt and Lord Halifax, brought an estimated $3,000 000 in total revenue to the Island of Roanoke and the Dare country.
