PRESIDENT HORSESHOEFIAS PLAVED TOMORRON Ashurst and McLeod Will Broadcast Congressional Contest. Had they not been more or less gift- ed orators, Senator Henry F. Ashurst of Arizona and Representative Clar-' ence J. McLeod of Michigan probably | wouldn't be Congressmen. But what. ever is theirs to command in the way of word juggling may be put to a stiff e HORSE = R Ls test tomorrow when they become the ' B first radio horseshoe pitching reporters in history. Senator Ashurst, noted as an orator, | and Representative McLeod, a droll fellow on occasions, today accepted posts as guest announcers for the grand finale of the congressional barnyard golf championships to be played at Grifith Stadium tomorrqw from 11 am. to noon. Four Senators and four Representa- | tives will be engaged in the finale, md& there may be a special match between a_ Republican and Democratic leader. There will be no charge of admission and the committee in charge has ex- tended an invitation to the public, which doubtless will find plenty of cause to “palpitate.” No Lack of Fun. Looked at from any angle, it promises | to be an entertaining show, both for those present and the listeners-in. Senator Ashurst will have a National | Broadcasting Co. microphone at one stake and Representative McLeod one at the other, and they will alternate in | B describing the goings on. But if there's a lull in the excitement or between matches, the crack United States Navy Band will take over the mikes. Oliver Owen Kuhn, managing editor of The Washington Star, will be master of ceremonies, and Herlus Provenson the regular announcer for the National Broadcasting Co.

Arthur C. ILllge;s. president of the society, pre- ! sided. Dr. White pointed out that the sys- tem of commitment now in use is founded on basic laws of Maryland and Virginia 75 to 100 years old. These laws, he said. were passed at a time when hospitals for mental patients were bad repute and were ' designed, through the provision for a jury hearing in open court, to prevent sane persons from being incarcerated in one of the institutions of that day. Other States, he said, had similar laws, but these have been modified gradually until the District today is an outstanding example of improper meth- ods of committing a person to a mental hospital. Dr. White said that in spite of new building nearing completion at St. Eliz- abeth’s Hospital it is still overcrowded and will be overcrowded when those buildings are cDmEleted. He said that Washington is failing to make proper use of a $25,000,000 plant supported by the taxpayers, in that this great institu- tion is devoted, in the case of nearly 75 per cent of its patients, to the care of the hopelessly insane, whereas it should be used to a much larger extent in the treatment of people who are susceptible to cure. Unofficial discussion following Dr. White's talk yesterday indicated plans for the formation of some interorgani- zation assoclations for the purpose of advancing legislation looking toward the fog, and that an aeroplane pi- lot could look at his tele vision and see exactly wha ; th'!. 5 through the fog. If they got that, why that's all they been needing, finding a way to eliminate fog. The next big discovery is find a way %o get prohib’'ion out of politics. v RADIO FORUM HELD LEADING FEATURE Chinn Says Columbia System Pro- grams Introduce Diplomatic Corps to the Country. The National Radio Forum, arranged by The Star, and the international good will program, known as the “Conclave of Nations,” sponsored by the Columbia Broadcasting System, both originating in Was] n, are the two outstanding educational features on the air, James E. Chinn of The Star said last night in an address broadcast over WMAL and & network of associated Columbia sta- lons. the Through the Radio Forum, he de- clared, nearly every prominent Govern- ment official and litical leader in ‘Washington has spoken to the country over the Columbia System. The Con. clave of Nations pi , he said, has introduced the members of the diplo- matic corps. Thys both of these pro- gm have served to make the country iter acquainted with the officials of its Government and the men who are MAGDONALD WINS INTEST I HOUGE: Conservative Move to Reduce Thomas’ Pay Is Beaten, 270 to 241. By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 2 —gz the grace of its own dissenters and Liberals who did not vote the Labor government of J. Ramsay Macdonald still was safely in the saddle today. The ministery last night defeated, by a vote of 270 to 241, a Conservative mo- tion of no-confidence asking reduction of the salary of J. H. Thomas, lord privy seal and minister for unemploy- | ment. Twenty-three of the 29 Ileft-wing Laborites, who refused to voice confi dence in Mr. Macdonald at last week’ parliamentary Labor party caucus, voted with the government. Had the government been defeated, Conservative victories in two tions of the past few days woul been a factor in predictions of the re- sult of a general election. Sir Oswald Mosley, whose resignation last_week as chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster precipitated the storm, voted with the government, but spoke for an hour and a quarter explaining his stand. thia Mosley, American born and aiso a member of Parliament, listened intently as he spoke. Sir Oswald demanded a revolution ir governmental machinery for dealing with unemployment. He proposed estab- lishment of a central unemployment or- ganization under direct control of the prime minister. And he claimed that | i a program could be adopted at a small cost which would provide work for at least 700,000 to 800,000 persons. Stanley Baldwin, Conservative leader, led the attack on the government, blam ing it more than world causes for creases in the ranks of the jobless, Mr. Macdonald in his address found unemployment in countries with tariff walls worse than it was in - ain, and he cited the world-wide fall | i * A—3 Actress Divorces Aviator.
