THOBOYSANDGIRL " ORATORY FINALITS! Falls Church, Manassas and Oakton School Victors Are Announced. b Boys took the numerical edge in the oratory contest announcements today, with two of them and one girl made known gs the winners in their respec- tive school finals. Kenneth Elliott of the Jefferson High ! School of Falls Church and John Tre- vett Allen of the Swavely Preparatory School of Manassas are the boys victors while Miss Reba Cup, veteran of the contest for the last two years and now the chosen spokesman for the Oakton High School, is the lone girl winner announced today. > Elltott Is Sophomore. Elliott won his school finals with an eration on “A Citizen: His Privileges and Duties Under the Constitution.” Only 14 years old and a sophomore at &chool, the orator of the Jefferson High School is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Luther Elliott. Because he barely has gotten into the swing of things at high | school, Kenneth isn't sure yet just what | he wants to be in manhood so he hasn't | decided what school he hopes to attend after high school graduation in 1931. At Jefferson he plays base ball and is one of the most active lower-classmen in the Literary Society. John Allen captured his school for- ensic honors with the power of his oratory in the delivery of & speech on the “Publics Responsibility to the Con- stitution.” He is one of The Star area’s “out-of-town” contestants for he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence T. Allen, whose home is in Danville, TIl., Young Allen is 16 years old and while he doesn’'t know yet where he is going to college when he completes the Swavely School course in June, he is certain he wants to become a lawyer. He was out for foot ball at the pre- paratory school where he also is as- sociated editor of the Swavely Sentinel. Persevering Orator. Miss Cupp is one of the contest’s most persevering orators. When a stu- dent of the Fairfax High School, she represented it in®the 1927 and the 1928 contests. Now that she has changed school, to become an Oakton student, she came out in the contest again this year to win the right to champion her new school in oratory. It was a speech on “The Citizen: His Privileges and Dutles Under the Constitution,” which won that right for her. Despite Miss Cupp’s two previous years of forensic | him. experience, she is now only 16 years old, and & junior in high school. Shs first went out for the contest when only 14 years old and a freshman in school. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Cupp of Fairfax and in her conquest over Joseph Curtice and Martin Green, the other two finalists at Oakton, she won the $5 in gold offered by F. B. Cunningham, principal, to the student who won the championship of his gchool. Miss Cupp is ambitious for a musical career, although she doesn't know yet where she will study. At Oak- fon she is literary critic for the school paper. Miss Cupp and young Elliott will meet in forensic battle in the first Vir- ginia group meet at Falls Church Mon- day night, when they, along with the Spokesmen for the Washington.

These charges in no single instance were supported by any evidence. “As to the record and standing of the Republican party in Texas and its responsible leaders, the public may judge between Senator Brookhart and President Hoover, who, in: his state- -Lee High School of Ballston, the Aldie High Echool and the Villa Maria’ Academy of Falls Church, will compete for a place in the Virginia finals. .

BY LESTER INSKEEP, Staft Correspondent of The Star, ARLINGTON COUNTY COURT HOUSE, Va., April 6.—Arlington Coun- ty's revamped Zoning Commission met last night for the first time and elected | Pred A. Gosnell chairman and A. J.| Webb secretary. They are the only two | members of the old commission who | were appointed to the new. One of the most progressive steps taken by the new commission was the eppointment of Robert H. Forman as a committee of one to attempt arrange- ments for a set of aerial pictures of the county. Blue prints, it was sald, are not only puzzling to some people, but also do not serve to show the subject | in the same light in which it can be brought out in actual photographs, Quick Action Sought. It was suggested that Forman com- municate with officials of the War De- zrtment and Department of Commerce an effort to have the pictures taken immediately and then assembled into a mosaic map. C. L. Kinnier, who assisted in the or- ganization of the commission, promised all of the aid possible from the county engineering department, stating that his office already has maps ready show- ing 65 per cent of the existing building in the county. map of the entire county will be finished in the rough within a short time, Kinnier said, ai is in shape even now for the actua work of zoning to begin. The county engineer's office is to do all of the actual map and drawing work and will even furnish secretarial service to the commission. Either Kinnier or Thomas L.

Speaking last night at a Methodist prohibition meeting in Foundry Church, Dr. Clarence True Wilson, secretary of the board of temperance, prohibi- tion and public morals, outlined a dras- tic enforcement program to be backed by the church, assailed the wealthy who violate the eighteenth amendment and boasted that “we sent home the five wets of the Senate.”’ ‘The progrom of enforcement which Dr. Wilson said the Methodist Church will urge on the administration and Congress contains four are: 1 pun and seller of 1 ; & mandal prison sentence nt.h‘:rwr than a fine for first ment; depo: of every alien con- victed of violating the yr;’hlhluoll law, and automatic and mandatory padlock- ing of every place where an offense is committed. | This platform is the foundation of the liquor legislation reforms which the Methodist Church will advocate, Dr.| Wilson declared after the meeting. Decrease in Violations, Defending the eighteenth amend- ment, the Volstead and Jones acts, Dr. Wilson said that there is less violation of the law now than there has been during the last 150 years. Dr. Wilson praised the administra- tion of President Hoover. “It means something,” he said, “when the party in power is pledged to law observance and will not serve contraband goods in the White House.” ‘The great middle class is the salva- tion of the country, Dr. Wilson asserted, and it is the rich and the poor who need education. Dr. Wilson condemned States, specifically Maryland and New York, that give no assistance to the hibition. He referred to Mrs. Mabel Walker an and leader,” and sald that she should | receive credit for inspiring the Jones- ! Stalker law. The great majority of bootleggers in the United States are foreigners, Dr. ‘Wilson claimed. He said that they were attracted by the general impression in Europe that “Ymhlbmun is a joke, and that they could become rich in the sale of liquor. Would Reward Raider. . The prohibition agent who shot and ki%ed Mrs. Lilllan De King in Aurora, I, was justified and should be given a medal instead of condemned, Dr. Wilson sald. He entered the house single handed and he had to shoot ori be shot. Unfortunately a woman was killed, and that gave the wets a chance | to stir up anti-enforcement sentiment, he continued. “If he had been a policeman instead of a prohibition agent he would Lave been commended.
