' Two-thirds of the’ daily newspapers of the country editorially advocate ratification of the World Court protocol, which President Hoover plans to send to the Senate at this short session, to the results of a survey made public today by the American Founda- tion of New York. Forty-six States show, both as to number of papers and as to combined circulation, a clear and in most cases a large balance in favor of ratification. But the District of Columbia is the only one of the “States” to show a majority of the daily papers, three to two, op- posed to ratification. District Situation Analyzed. In this city. the Foundation points out, the two Hearst papers, the Herald and Times, with the Washington Post, constitute the opposition, while The Evening Star and Daily News carry the fight for ratification. The results of the survey are regarded by the American Foundaticn as:“the best available means of arriving at a cross section of intelligent opinion.” Specific Inquiry Made. “The question we put,” said William Curtis Bok, of the foundation, “was not a casual inquiry as to whother a given editor is well or ill disposed toward the | court generally; it was direct and spe. cific: ‘Does your paper favor or opposs ratification of the World Court proto- cols?” The result now published in detail by States is, therefore, not a straw vote or a collection of personal opinions; it is a statement of consid- ered editorial position. And it is com- prehensive: The fact that only 342 of 2,036 &npers have refused to reply and that these represent only 6 per cent of the total circulation of all the datlies in the country, indicates a general convic~ tion that the time is now ripe for the court question, so long agitated, to be settled on its merits.” Showing the large majority of the daily press in favor of ratification, the American Foundation says 1,357 dailies, constituting 66.5 per cent of the whole, with & combined circulation of 20,993,- 906 (65.68 per cent) definitely favor ratification, as againct an opposed col- umn of 265 (13.01 per cent) papers with & total circulation of 10,557,317 (25.69 per cent). Opposition in Minority. The 342 papers that did not reply, representing 16.80 per cent of the 2,036 dailies covered, are, with their com- bined circulation of 2,564,400, only 6 per cent (6.24) of the whole, so far as cir- culation is concerned. Fifty-cight pa- pers (285 per cent) with a combined circulation of 549,177 (1.34 per cent) registered ‘no stand’; in the cas> of 14 papers (less than 1 per cent, or .69) with & combined circulation of 4322421 (105 per cent) catcgorical classifica~ tion was impossible. The " American Foundat'on, which mads the survey, was founded by Ed- ward W. Bok and the governing board includes Elihu Root, Owen D. Young, Gen. James Guthrie Harbord, Thomas W. Lamont, John W. Davis, Mrs. Ogden Reld, Silas H. Strawn, Mrs. Frank A. Vanderlip and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt. 46 States Favorable. P’ort[-llx States show a preponder- ance for ratification, according to the survey. The 3 “States” not .ncluded in these 46 are the District of Colum- While: the 1,357 papers that register an afirmative editorial stand were not listed in the preliminary repcrt made public today, the survey declared * can be said at once that the favorable list includes practically all the- large papers except the 24 Hearst papers in 13 cities and 7 other papers. the favorable column a number of chains appear with all their “links”: 26 Scripps-Howard papers in 26 in 13 States, the 16 Gannett pa- in 13 cities in 3 States, the 9 Mac- den_papers in 9 cities in 4 States, Brush-Moore papers in 6 Ohio , the 4 Shaffer papers in 4 cities 2 States, the 8 Booth papers in 8 ities in Michigan. the 9 papers of the Southern California Newspapers, Asso- clated, and the 5 papers of the News League of Ohio in Ohio and Florida. Nine States Unanimous. The 9 States in which no paper is Tegistered in the opposed column a Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Lou jana, Maine, Mississippi, Rhode Isla Virginia and Wyoming. In 10 other States only one paper is opposed. In each of the following States only one paper declares itself opposed to ratification: Alabama, Colo- 1ado, Georgia (the Hearst paper in Atlanta is the one opposed), Kentucky, Maryland (the Hearst paper, the Bal- timore News), New Mexico, North Carolina, South Carolina, South Dakota and Tennessee.

Thinks GobUniform Is Too Effeminate For a Fighting Man By the Associated Press. Here's one Navy man at least who thinks the sailor’s uniform is awful and that something should be done about it. Capt. C. S. Freeman, writing in a Navy magazine, said even the word “gob” would never have been applied to the fighting sea- man except for the “effeminate blouse, barn-door trousers” and flat-topped cap he is compelled to_wear, He recommended adoption of an honest-to-goodness pair of modern trousers supported by a belt and a shirt without a draw- string as the basis of a new uni- form. lation of these 32 is 8,011,662, of 76.83 per cent of the total circulation of the opposed group, which is 10,577,317. The 32 comprise the 24 Hearst papers in 13 cities, with the New York Daily Mirror, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Daily News, the New York Evening Sun, the Kansas City Star and | Times, the Washington Post and also' the St. Louis Times and the Cleveland | News, though the opposition of the | la two seems to be of more recent date. In the miscellaneous fourth qulrter‘ of the opposed group is to be noted a group of German dailies, including most of the larger German 2ewspapers of the country: The New York Staats Zeitung, the New Yorker Herold, the Chicago Absndpost, the Detrcit Abend- post, the Rochester Abendpost, the Omaha Tribune, the Newark Freie Zeitung. the Buffalo Volksfreund, the | Cincinnati Freie Presse, the Sheboygan Amerika. The alignment of these papers on ratification of the Court | protocols is interesting because it seems to reflect nct at all the attitude of pres- ent-day Germany toward the Court. Germany's experience with the Court during the past years has been direct, for the Court has dealt with some of the thorniest of the post-war questions between Germany and Poland. It is cignificant, therefore, that Germany was the first of the larger netions to sign, in 1927, the optional clause ac- cepting the compulsory jurisdiction of the Court. The attitude of a majority of the German language dailies here suggests less a conception of Germany's own present-day attitude toward the Court than a continuation of the 1919- 1920 distrust of the war-time settle- ments and of any institution that came elong in the same period as the treaty of Versailles. SEMINARY TO GRADUATE LARGEST CLASS THIS YEAR Seniors at Episcopal Theological | Institution in Virginia Number 28. Special Dispatch to The Star. SEMINARY, Va., December 8.—The senior class at the Episcopel Seminary this year is the largest ever t> be grad- uated there, 28 men being enrolled. There are 78 students in the seminary this year, filling the buildings to capac- ity. Fourteen applicants were turned away last Summer, so the question of recruiting for the ministry does not seem to be very pressing at present. Already 10 men have filed applications for admission next year. The men enrolled come from 33 dio- ceses and represent 45 colleges through- out the country, from Texas in the South to Massachusetts in the North. At the recent meeting of the board of trustees, Rev. Clifford Stanley was elected an Instructor in the theological ent. He will probably assist Dr. W. Cosby Bell in several cf the latter's courses as well as conducting some ccurses of his own. THe new in- structor is a Pennsylvanian, a graduate of the University of Virginia, as well as the Theological Seminary, thus repre- sent'ng both the North and the South. Dr. Beverly D. Tucker and Bishop F. D. Goodgin have given courses in g:su'.:n.l theology at the seminary this THREE ESCAPE IN CRASH OF PLANE AT RICHMOND Open Airship Goes Into Spin 200 Feet in Air and Hits Trees. By the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va. December 8.—A two-place open biplane was badly wrecked here yesterday afternoon when it went into a spin at 200 feet and crashed into a grove of trees, but the pilot and his two. passengers, a young woman and a boy, escaped with only minor injuries. Thomas A." Stanford of Richmond, the pilot, who holds a limited commer- cial licence, said that something seemed | to be wrong with the rigging of the ship. After hitting the tree tops the craft dropped ~ down almost horizontally, crushing the landing gear and driving one end of the propeller into the ground, but leaving the occupants in e ot his e pilot gave passengers’ names as Miss Helen Smith and George Mar- shall Bell, both of Richmond.
