Perhaps the lingo-of the officials and the official documents of state must con- tain some elements of austerity, though we are not even sure of this, In trying to be dignified, however, we must be care- ful not to appear too affected, For example, when the Soviet Air Force pet fighter attacked a U. S. Strategic Air Command weather observation plane, near the Si- berian Peninsula recently, the State Department an- nounced that it had “vigorously” protested to the For. eign Office in Moscow. We have long wondered what a vigorous protest had that anormal one did not have. We have wondered whether it meant that the diplomat, calling at the Mos- cow Foreign Office, walked upstairs vigorously, or whe- ther it meant that he handed the paper over vigorously. Or, perhaps, it meant that those who prepared the docu- ment, in our State Department in Washington, acted| vigorously in its preparation, Just how the United States protests vigorously, in other words, has managed to elude us, ‘ From time to time the State Department’s press re-|; leases have reflected a current wave of popularity in the use of certain words. An old State Department standby is periphery. For a time, almost everyone in the State De- partment was speaking about this country’s security and defense periphery, Another State Department standby is the word categorical. About one out of every two denials issued by the State Department is termed a categorical denial, To the average newspaper reader, in the United States or any- where else, the word categorical might just as well be left off. In the first place, more than half of those who see it in print probably do not understand it and, in the second place, it adds nothing to the denial anyhow. But it seems to be a favorite word of the State Department's Press section and so, we must learn to live with categoric- al deniais — since we are making a lot of them these days. All of which talk, on words, adds up to little. We can’t help but feel, however, that a little more straight talk and a little less fancy phraseology, would be a good policy for the press relation boys to follow, “NOW YOU LOOK INE OTHER WaY...!” Ill Come ea Ba NOTAS CUBANAS * Por RAOUL ALPIZAR POYO $SALUX POPUL!

Public Letter Writers Popular In Mexico Still. By LAURANCE F. STUNTZ MEXICO CITY (# — More and more Mexicans are learning to read and write but the public letter writer is still doing business. He writes more than love letters. He is’ partly public stenographer and draws up affidavits and court documents. Many of the letter writers are former government employes who know the ins and outs of bureaucratic , procedure. Their services will sometimes save the poor man the cost of a lawyer. The letter writers are nicknamed “evangelists” because they center in the Santo Domingo Plaza in front of a colonial church. Each morning they lug their table, two chairs and an ancient typewriter from a nearby storage place and set up shop in the open air or in an arcade, In the provincial towns the | central plaza—in the shade of the trees if in hot country.
