MODERATES RETAIN REACHSTAG CONTROL Official Recount Shows Four Mid- dle Parties Assured of Small Majority. SOCIALISTS HOLD WHIP HAND Present Government May Be Re- tained in Office. By the Associated Fress. BERLIN, May 6.—An official count of the returns from Sunda elections for the Reichstag nounced at noon today, concedes the United Socialists 100 votes, the Na- 96, the Center party, of Clericals 62, the Democrats 25, the Communists 62, the People's party 44, and the Bavarian People's party 16 The big coalition, .comprising the Socialists, Clericals, Democrats and People’s Party members still com- mands a slight majority, which will be safeguarded by ten votes from the Middle Class League and the Bavar- ian Peasants' League and eventually those of the Bavarian People’s party. The parliamentary leaders admit that the situation is not yet wholly clarified, but they view any coali- tion not including the Socialists as quite a remote possibility, unless the Nationalists make an unequivocal an- nouncement of their complete con- currence with the Dawes report and £ive assurance of their support for the foreign policies inaugurated and pursued by the present government. res Make-Up of Government. The preponderance volitical les inclines to the be- lict that’the new government will be composed of the three middle par- ties nmow in office, with the active support of the Socialists vouchsafed t, or that a straiyht four-party gov- ernment, comprisiag the Sociallsts and the present part'es in power, will sneceed the Marx-Stresemann cabi- net.

PARITS, May 6—The result of the German elections is regarded in Paris officlal circles as far from reassur- ing. A close check on the deputies elected made for the French govern- ment shows 200 members who in an- nouncing their electoral program said they were opposed to the adop- tion of the reparation experts’ re- port. This leaves a margin for the adoption of the report but the make- up of the new Reichstag is consid- ered unpromising so far as concerns the carrying out of the plan after its adoption. A close scrutiny of the results has convinced some specialists in Ger- man affairs attached to the forelgn office that the new Reichstag will contain a clear majority in favor of the restoration of the monarchy. It is_expected herc that the majority will go slow but it is thought the trend toward a return of the old re- gime thus begun will continue. Est. 1 H.

RIVALRY INCREASED IN ORATORY CONTEST (Continued from First Page.) by authorities for the delivery of an oration of that length. Beginning with the ringing decla- ration, “Our government is founded on a rock!" Winant outlined the part played by James Madison, “the father of the Constitution,” in its construc- tion and adoption. He brought home the close connection today of that docyment with the lives of all Ameri- cans, and concluded with the follow=| ing plea: “During the past few years com- plications due to the enforcement of the ecighteenth amendment have created considerable animosity among certain classes and have caused some of the people to speak slightly of the Constitution. “But, let us study history; let us note the growth from infancy to ma- turity of the greatest written docu- EDMONSTON’S — Home of the “Original” FOOT- FORM Boots and Oxfords for Men, Women and Children.

Met by Krmmer. Principal Stephen E. Kramer met the judges at his school, and escorted them to the large auditorium, where a large audience of Central students awaited. Declaring that “this is an event very important to our school,” Mr. Kramer followed regular chapel practice at the school, opening the exercises by read- ing the 121st psalm. He then intro- duced Miss Newburn. “The Constitution of the United States” was the subject of the oration delivered by Central's contender, and for which she was awarded a $100 prize by The Star as winner in the second district. “The original manuscript of the Constitution of the United States isa document which Americans cherish as a priceless treasure,” Miss Newburn declared. “For many years it has been without a permanent home, but at last it has found an appropriate resting place. It has recently been transferred to the Library of Con- WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, gress, where it rests within an altar shrine. This manuscript, however, is but the letter, and would be valueless if the spirit of the Comstitution were not enshrined within the heart of every true American.” Guarantees of Comstitution. The corner stone of the structure is composed of three fundamental ideas, the speaker declared: The represent- ative form of* government, the divi- sion of governmental powers into three separate departments, and the guarantee of personal immunities, with judicial protection of these guar- antees. Principal Kramer, in concluding the exercises, thanked the judges “and the fine journal which is sponsoring this appeal to the spirit of the best citizenship.” A touch of school life then peared, as a message was hurried to the principal. He then announced that he had just received word that Central had won the regimental drill, just concluded. Cheers for the Cen- tral regiment mingled with applause for Miss Newburn, who, in her ora- tion, also had been carrying forward the traditions of Central High School. Congratulate Miss Newburn. At the conclusion of the exercises the judges congratulated Miss New- burn, and the judging for the day was over. The justices were then mo- tored to their homes.
