The difficulty of selecting the win- ner of a National Oratorical Contest when the quality of the oratory is as consistently high as that displayed in the finals Saturday night is manifest in the voting of the eight judges. On the first ballot, Edmund A. Gul- lion, The Star’s champion, who finally was chosen winner, was rated third, with Seymour Peyser of New York City first and Vernon Lawrence Withuhn of Seattle, Wash, second. None received the five first places necessary to create a national champion and a consultation of judges was held to determine the ranking of the best three speakers. Fourth Ballot Is Necessary. Another ballot was taken. Gullion | and Peyser each were given three firsts and Withuhn two, eliminating the Seattle boy. A third vote was taken, with four judges for Gullion and four for Peyser. After a lengthy discussion of the merits of the two boys, one of the arbiters swung over to Gullion, giv- ing him the contest. This year's contest is the first in which the East has furnished a national champion. The contest bhegan seven years ago| and since that time the Pacific Coast has had two champions, the South | two and the Midwest two. Strong Bid in 1924. In 1924, the first year the contest assumed national proportions, Don Ty- | ler, 19 years old, of Los Angeles, Calif.. was chos:n winner. That year, how- ever, n made a determined bid for the championship through Miss Ruth Newburn, 18 years old, of Eastern High School, who was tied with Tyler on the first ballot. ‘The next year the champion was Robert Sessions, 15 years old, of Birm- ingham, Ala, the youngest orator to emerge victorious from the national finals. Herbert Wenig, 18 years old, of Hollywood, Calif., won in 1926, and Miss Dorothy Carlson, also 18, of Salt Lake City, Uteh, in 1927, Kentucky, the State in which Gul- lion was born and also the birthplace of Miss Lourene Mokstad and Willlam C. Turner, who represented Chicago and Louisville, respectively, in the con- test this year, sent a champion to Washington in James R. Moore, 18 years old, of Somerset. Last year's winner was Ben Swofford, 18 years old, of Kansas City.

It is a wound keenly felt by all Evangelical Christian- | ity. It is especially a heavy blow to| the cause of prohibition for which Bap- tists and Methodist in the South stand together in close sympathy. “There should have been some way for a great church conference to indi- cate its support of Bishop Cannon’s prohibition activities and, at the same demning all sorts of gambling, but it | whitewashed the gambler. It pro-| nounced against a public evil in the | abstract, but condoned it in the con- crete. “Many great and good things are | doubtless being done by the conference, | but it will go down in history as the| general conference of the Southern Methodist Church which whitewashed a gambling bishop.” LEIGH TAKES COMMAND Hoists Flag as Vice Admiral Over | Battleship Divisions.

NAME NEW PLANET PLUTO Lowell Observatory Officials Present Selection to American Royal Astrononical Societies and Approval Is Expected. Minerva and Cronus Other Titles Considered. By the Assgciated Press. FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., May 26 —Pluto is the name selected by officials of Lowell Observatory here for the recently dis- covered transneptunian body previously designated as Planet X. Roger Lowell Putnam, trustee of the observatory, and nephew of the late Dr. Percival Lowell, who predicted the existence of the planet 16 years before it actually was seen, announced that the name Pluto was chosen after a host of suggested names had been narrowed down to three—Minerva, Pluto and Cronus. The name has been presented to the American Astronomical Soclety and the Royal Astronomical soclety, Mr. Putnam said, and un- ggubberuy will be approved by the two dit es. After narrowing our choice of names to three” Mr. Putnam said, “we ex- perienced some difficulty in reaching a decision as to which of the suggested Roman dieties most fittingly described the new planet. Since its discovery was 50 pre-eminently a triumph of reason- ing, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, would have been our choice had not her name for so many years been borne by an asteroid. “Cronus,” the son of Uranus and the father of Neptune, also would have been appropriate, but we finally agreed on Pluto, god of the regions of dark- ness, as most symbolical of the distant unknown region where planet X holds sway. Jupiter and Neptune alre are in the heavens, and it seems ap. propriate that Pluto, the third brother, also should have a place. “All planets have symbols which frequently are used instead of their whole name, and Pluto lends itself easily to the monogram ‘P. L.’ the initials of Percival Lowell, and will be & fitting memorial to him.’ FLYER LANDS IN RAIN Pilot Reaches Springfield, Mass., From St. Louis, Mo. SPRINGFIELD. Mass., May 26 (®). —Pilot James G.

MACDONALD FACES STRENGTH TESTS Conservatives to Attack Him on Employment and Indian Issues. By the Associated Press. g LONDON, May 26.—The government of Premier J. Ramsay Macdonald faces two tests of strength this week on mo- tions of Conservative members of the House of Commons to reduce the salaries of two Ministers, Defeat on either would be accepted as a vote of no-confidence. The first of these motions, to lower the stipend of Wedgwood Benn, secre- tary of state for India, was up today with discussion of the India office budget. The second, based on the feel- ing that the government has not suc- ceeded in dealing with unemployment, will be met Wednesday with a vote on & motion to cut the salary of the lord privy seal, J. H. Thomas, who is also minister of unemployment. Prevailing opinion is that the govern- ment will survive its ordeal, particularly since the Parliamentary Labor party last week, acting in consequence of resignation of Sir Oswald Mosley from the cabinet, voted overwhelmingly its faith in Mr. Macdonald and in disclaimer of the Labor wing tactics. The Conservatives today are anxious for fuller information on' the situation in India and are particularly concerned with alleged disorders there which have been inspired by bolshevik propaganda. The left wing also is denouncing the government, for alleged imperialism in its Indian policy and adherence to old- time methods in handling the trouble.

TOKIO, May 26.—The foreign office today sent United States Ambassador Wiliam R Castle, jr, & formal com- munication concurring with the Ameri- can interpretation of article 19 of the London pact that no signatory may re- place 6-inch gun cruisers with craft carrying 8-inch guns.

By the Associated Press. With ratification of the London naval treaty at an early date virtually assured, a fight is looming in the Senate on the question of whether legislation to su- thorize the construction of the fleet per- mitted by the pact is to be taken up this Summer or deferred to the next session. Party leaders believe that it will go over and opponents of the big building program involved are ready to make & determined fight. In this they plan to turn to their own use the testimony of numerous ranking officers of the Navy who have appeared before the foreign relations and naval committees in oppo- sition to ratification. Admiral after admiral has contended that America has no need for all of the six-inch-gun cruisers allotted to the United States by the treaty. Rear Ad- miral Hilary P. Jones, who served as a technical adviser to the delegation at London, contended that the construction of all of these would leave the Navy With a “frozen” tonnage in ships of this. fg;;zory when the treaty expires in Senator La Follette, Republican, Wisconsin, a member of the forelgn relations committee, has carefully noted down objections of this nature for use when the construction program legisla~ tion comes up before the Senate.

A conference of Senate Republican leaders was called today to decide Wwhether the treaty will be taken up before adjournment at a special session which President Hoover plans to call immediately, if the pact not been carried a vote when Congress adjourns. Meanwhile, the foreign relations and naval committees summoned additional ranking naval officers at the request of Senator Johnson, Republican, c-?uomu. a severe critic of the treaty, to ascertain their views on the pact. Chairman Borah was confident that the hearings could be concljided by the middle of the week, with the result that the treaty will be ready for Senate ;fitllon When it has disposed of the tariff AVIATRIX IN AUSTRALIA —_— Miss Amy Johnson Reaches Daly ‘Waters on Flight From England, SYDNEY, New South 26 (P).—Miss Amy Jnhnxn:,l“'nnm aviatrix. who Saturday completed a flight from England to Australia, ar- l;;ledwd D:‘({e Wat;r‘:m from Port Dar- ay after a asan $Hp of 830 miles, 0 DUt pleasant She will refuel and take off for Alexandria Station, where she will hajt for the night.
