LONDON. May 1.-THE biblical
story of the destruction of the cities
of Sodom and Gomorrah by fire and
birthstone is believed by Father Alexis
Mallon, Jesuit archeologist of the
Pontif1cal Biblical Institute at Rome
to be confirmed by archaeological dis
coveries on the site of the two towns.
Father Mallon, who, with Father
Robert Koeppel, has spent three years
excavating on the north shore of the
Dead Sea in Palestine said their in
vestigation has shown that the two
cities were contemporary and existed
from before $500 BIC. to not later than
2l00 BIC. At the latter date, he said,
both had been destroyed by fire and
never were reoccupied.
Traces of violent confagrations were
found in the ruins, he said, including

VETS VICTORIOUS
IN OHIO PRIMARY;
INGALLS, WINNING
Assistant Secretary of Navy
for AeronauticS Nominated
for Governor.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Ohios primary yesterday gave the
vets something to crow about. On the
Republican side, candidates for Gov
ernor and for Senator opposed to the
eighteenth amendment, were nominated
over their dry opponents. The Demo-
Gratis renominated Gov. George White,
who has come out for a referendum of
the prohibition issue, and Senator Robert
j. Bulkley, an out-and-out opponent Of
the eighteenth amendment.
When the results in the Republican
primary in Ohio are considered in con-
nection with what has happened in Re-
publican primaries and State conven-
tions in the States of Pennsylvania, Mis-
souri, and Minnesota in recent weeks, it
is clear that the drive for a resubmis-
sion plank in the Republican national
platform has assumed proportions which
even its promoters scarcely hoped for a
few months ago.
ingalls, Is Victorious.
The Republican nominee for Governor
of Ohio is David S. ingalls,, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy for Aeronsutics.
He ran far ahead of his two principal
dry opponents, Clarence j. Brown, Sec
retary of State for Ohio, and former
Gov. Myers Y. Cooper. Attorney Gen.
eral Gilbert Bettman of Cincinnati de-
feated L. j. Taber, master of the Ma
tional Grange, a dry, by a wide mar
gin. Bettrnan stood for repeal of the
eighteenth amendment.
The wet and dry issue in the Ohio
primaries overshadowed in interest the
contests for delegates to the Democratic
and Republican national conventions
President Hoover has, it is reported,
won the entire delegation to the Re-
publican convention. In fact. his dele
gate candidates were practically unop-
posed except in district or two, where
candidates favoring the nomination Of
former Senator Joseph I. France were
running. In those district, however,
the Hoover delegates won by big mar
gin.
White Presidential Candidate.
The election of delegates to the Dem
ocratic National Convention in Ohio
places Gov. White in the list of candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination
for President, who have instructed for
them delegates. He will have the en-
tire SO delegates from the Buckeye
State, with the possible except of ore
pledged to Newton D. Baker. Later
returns may give the Governor the en-

BINGHAM TO CALL
BEER BILL TODAY

on Plan to LegaIize 80
Per Cent Brew.
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Senator Bingham told newspaper men
today he planned to demand an imme-
date vote on his proposal TO legalize
80 per cent beer
The Connecticut Republican said he
intended to call up during the day his
amendment to the Home Loan Bank
bill to permit beer and that he expected
opponents TO move Immediately to send
1t to a committee in an effort to kill it.
Such move viii be fought vigorously
by the beer advocates, Bingham said,
on the ground that committees have
studied the beer question sufdciently In
the past few months.
Barbour Move Blocked.
An effort by Senator Barbour, Repub-
licar, OF New Jersey, to have the judi
ciary Committee discharged from fur
ther consideration of his resolution for
a change in the eighteenth amendment
was blocked for the time being in the
Senate this afternoon by Senator Shep-
pard, Democrat, of Texas.
Senator Barbour made a motion to
discharge the committee, but explaining
that such a motion must lie over for
day, he asked unanimous consent for its
consideration.
At this point request was made
for a quorum call to summon Senators
to the floor, and when this had been
done, Senator Watson, Republican floor
leader, requested that the Barbour reso-
luton be read. AS soon as the read
ing had been completed, Senator Shep-
pard, co-author of the eighteenth
announced his objection
which prevented action today on the
motion to discharge the committee.
The Barbour resolution proposes
constitutional amendment to take the
place of the eighteenth amendment,
under which manufacture, sale or trans
portation of liquor would be permitted
in States where 1t would not conflict
with local laws. Barbour declared he
introduced the resolution in March, long
before the prohibition planks were
adopted at the conventions in Chicago.
and expressed his belief the question
should be acted on before Congress ad-
journs.
Organized drys will attempt to agree
on presidential campaign strategy at a
meeting here July IA and IS.

OF World War veterans marched down
Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol to-

The demonstration, staged on the
broad expanse of the Capitol plaza and
the steps of the Senate wing, followed
a parade down Pennsylvania avenue
from the Monument Grounds-the sec
ond of its kind since the arrival Of the
vanguard OF veterans more than six
weeks ago.
After listening to a number OF
