nS SS ws ian, i 8 Iq Monday, April 6, 1959 rr -- Study Al y STEWART MacLEOD Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON (CP) -- George Ber- nard Shaw's dream of a new and simplified English alphabet may become a reality this year. A team of English - language experts now is in the process of wading through 450 suggested designs, all with more than 40 let- ters, and later this year will de- |cide which one, if any, will fulfill {Shaw's dream. If the suggestions of the late |Irish dramatist are followed, the | chosen alphabet will have at least |16 letters with vowel sounds, and ino one sound will require more {than one letter. Shaw never did {like "PH" being used for an "F" |sound, and he thought the word "though" was a "wild absurd- ity." His will, published in 1951 a year after he died at the age of |94, specified that as much money as necessary could be taken' from his estate to cover the develop- ment of his alphabet. The re- mainder of the estate, then worth 1£367,237, was to be divided |among the British Museum, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art land the National Gallery of Ire. [1and.

Khrushchev's had been a far different world when he was a ragged boy tending sheep and learning the trades of blacksmith and locksmith. He was born in a hovel in Kal- linovka, in Kursk, province not far from the Ukraine, April 17, 1895. His father, Sergei, may have owned a small plot of land and thus have been "kulak" a land-owning peasant. But his chief trade was that of coal miner. Nikita's grandfather had been a serf, one of the agricul tural slaves freed by Czar Alex- ander in 1861 Nikita at 17 was working as a locksmith in a factory at Kharkov in the Ukraine. From there he travelled to the Donets Basin to work, like his father, in the coal mines. He was then a young man of 23, when the Russian revolution burst out.

Khrushchev became secretary of a regional Moscow party com- mittee, once again the protege of Kaganovich, then secretary of the Moscow committee and member, of the ruling central committee. Khrushchev went to various in- dustrial centres to-root out Stalin's enemies. Khrushchev also threw himself with a will into Kaganovich's pro- gram for transforming Moscow, doing much of the work of or- ganizing labor for such projects as the celebrated Moscow sub- way. That -won him the Order of Lenin, A quarter of a century later Khrushchev would repay his benefactor by bouncing him out of the post - Stalin hierarchy, labelled an enemy of the "party.
