The orator stammered, not at all the
poised speaker of the contest, but Just
a youngster who was trying to realize
something.
Butsch's classmates heard the news
and they cheered him to the echo.
Across Eleventh street was Leonard E..

was striding across the street to tell him
something The two met and there was
some mighty understanding hand grip

st. Johns College-its a secondary
school of high school rating despite its
title-took hold of the contest as a
school proposition. Every student wrote
a speech and series of Examinations
were held. 1t was after the second
semester Of the year began that the class
contests were to be held. Butsch wrote
his speech two nights before the class
was TO be held. He used to sing in the
st. Patrick's Church Boys Choir and to-
day he Is widely known about town for
his rendition of popular songs. so he was
vocally prepared and was used to facing
audiences. Briefly, he won the class
contest.
He took heart at that, looked at his
speech, impressed 1t again in his mind
and won the school finals Next came
the group phase of the contest in the
private and parochial school district,
and he won that up at Georgetown
University. All that was left then was
the private and parochial district finals,
and he took that in tight fight at
Gonzaga when he competed with Con-
zaga's own spokesman and the repre-
sentative of the Dewitt Preparatory
School. And that, by the way, is re-
garded by Butsch today as the toughest
battle he had The story of The Star
finals is known, and SO Butsch is cham
pion.
In his preparation for the contest and
in his development of his oratory
Butsch had the guidance and counsel
OF Brother Martin, principal of the
school, who took over its administration
for the first time only in September.
Brother Martin came here from Cum
berland, where he headed the Chris

pion orator wants it known ne appre-
ciates the kindness and counsel OF
Brother Martin.

HOOVER is REPORTED SEEKING
STONE FOR LAW COMMISSION
President Understood to
Want Justices Services
as Chairman.
Former Attorney General Has
Advocated Lawful En-
forcement.

President Hoover Is understood to be
seeking the services of Associate Jus
tice Harlan Fiske Stone of the United
States Supreme Court as chairman OF
his National Law Enforcement Com
mission.
Information in some quarters is tha.
the former Attorney General is re-
luctant to retire from the highest cour.
to undertake the task which the Chief
Executive has announced will be in
trusted to the commiSsion-that of ex-
haustively studying the whole Federal
judicial and enforcement machinery
and submitting recommendations for its
reorganization.
Friends Urge Acceptance.
Some friends of Justice Stone have
been urging him to accept the APP
pointment. They believe the work of
the commission will be the most i'm
portant of it's kind in the history of the
Nation and that the recommendations
made should constitute an enduring
monument to it's authors.
President Hoover regards the law en-
forcement problem as far transcending
any now before the country. In his re-
cent New York address, dealing wholly
with this subject, he said that such a
commission can perform the greatest
OF services in our generation"
Efforts of the President to have JUS
tice Stone form the arch around which
the commission personnel will be built
are believed to account in the main for
the unexpected delay in announcing the
members. Soon after Inauguration 1t
was stated at the White House that the
names of the members probably would
be announced within 10 days or two
weeks No explanation has been forth
coming since as to the cause of the
delay.
Close Friend Of Hoover.
Justice Stone, who is the youngest
member Of the Supreme Court-he is
81 years old-long has been a close
friend OF Mr.. Hoover; was his neighbor
for years In the S street residential Sec
ton, and is member Of the "medicin,
ball cabinet"
Upon his return from his good will
tour to South America, Mr.. Hoover
conferred often with the associate Jus
tice and also had him as a guest on
fishing trips in Florida during the pre-
Inauguration period. Unquestionably
Justice Stone has been one of his most
trusted advisers in the study he has
been making of law enforcement prob
lens.
Chief Justice Taft. also a neighbor
in the years before the Hoovers moved
to 1900 Pennsylvania avenue, likewise
has been frequently consulted on this
question, as he has urged for a num-
Der of years that there be undertaken

is his no matter what happens. He
won the right" to the tour. and in
order to clinch that right" he is
obliged to compete for this area in
the national finals If for any reason
he does not go into the finals and his
place is taken by his alternate, Miss
Mary Eugenia Hardy of the Takoma-
Silver Spring High School, the trip
goes to the alternate, while the 5000
cash award remains in his keeping.
Butsch was unable to say this morn
ing what he was most anxious to see
on the tour. He had not gotten so Gin
innate" with 1t in his thoughts, but he
is impressed now with its great value
as whole. He believes it invaluable
to his educational life, coming as it
does just before he enters college.
But it's the victory now that stands
in his mind. rather than It's rewards,
which hardly have had time to be re-
garded by him as his own. He's looking
forward to the national finals, and
there he means to put his whole soul In
his speech in an attempt to give this
section national champion

 With very few exceptions, the really good teachers do not stay in Alaska. These teachers can get better pay under more pleasant conditions in the States than in Alaska.
 If this pension bill will induce our teachers to remain with Us for twenty years, more power to it.
