Keter said today he will be ’'honored" tn nominate Vice President Richard M. Nixon a» President Eisenhower’s running mate at the Republican national convention. Herter, 61. said Nixon ‘‘is pleased to have me do thia." The governor issued a statement in which he formally announced he would place Nixon's- name in nomination for re-election.

Stassen had put Herter ‘’ln the middle” by urging Republicans to dump Nixon in favor of the former Maasachuetts congressman. * Asked Tuesday whether he would run for the vice presidency if President Eisenhower said he would welcome a contest. Herter replied: “I would wait and see.” His first comment on Stassen's , statement was that he would “do anything the President thought would be helpful to the party." Herter, who announced last February that be will not seek re- , election as governor, has made no indication am what his political plans are. The six-foot, six-inch governor was as non-committal about the threat on his life as he was when first notified of Stassen's backing. An unidentified man telephoned Boston police headquarters Tuesday morning and aaid he was “going to kill Herter within the week." The call was traced to a suburban Lexington drug store phone booth but the man had disappeared by the time police arrived. If Herter was calm about the threat, he had ample reason. During World. War ear-old novice diplomat, Herter had been caught in Belgium when the United States entered the war against Germany.

Spelling Troubles Today's Youngsters Many Mistakes Are Due To Carelessness WASHINGTON (UP) r~, Maybe we shouldn't be too tough on our youngsters, but it is a fact that some of-them can’t spell. ■ Even up to college age, they get tangled with the words starting with "T.” Like *'to,” “too,” and “two." Not to mention "their/’ ’there,” a'nd “they're."’ W. M. Aclean Johnson, publisher of “New Goals in Spelling,” offers a few suggestions by Dr. William A. Kottmeyer and May B. Lambador. who worked on the book. These educators claim that a kid shouldn't tussle with spelling a word until it is pronounced correctly and the meaning is clear. A child seldom will become a good speller if he doesn’t link the letters, or symbols; with the sounds they usually spell. The experts say that to become a good speller, a child must learn to associate any word he see in print anywhere—at any time. “There is no sense in teaching compik-ated words the average person almost never has use for,” the pros say. "Particularly if you don't know the meaning." A lot of our young make mistakes through, carelessness. And if the kids would just read their own writing back, a lot of times they could spot errors and improve their own compositions. Maybe we have a rule of thumb that isn’t Recording to standards but when our young lady asks' us how to spell a word we tell her to “Jock it up.” Often there is a sassy remark like “So you don't know how to spell it." We bet a penny. Parents can lose a lot of pennies that way. But the end result is that if she looks it up herself, and studies the pronunciation she'll remember it the next

time. I think we've won her over. The. old method was to make a kid a choice between putting his nose in the corner or running to the blackboard to write down “100 times" some word he has misspelled. All the poor gal or boy does is copy without thinking. No good, — Another thing the experts point out is that parents can help a lot by pronouncing words correctly at home and using good grammar. As oldtlmer working out of a red school house once put it: —if the kid hears 'ain't got none’ or ‘ain't goin’ no place’ at the supper table he ain't goin' no place on the speaker's platform." Unless the la<j happens to be a Will Roger or a Herb Shriner — and the likes of these often practice hard to be ungrammatical — jliaybe‘they 6 shouldn't.
