ChangemN Name
Asked of Court
ByMiSs Mclean

Because she wants to perpetuate the
given name of her paternal great
grandfather, 14-year-old Evalyn Beale
Mclean, daughter of Edward B. Nc
Lean, former owner of the Washington
Post, applied to the District Court to-
day for permission to drop Beale and
adopt Washington as her middle name.
The petition was filed by her mother,
Mrs. Eyalyn Walsh Mclean, who was
represented by Attorney Nelson T.
Harrison of the law firm of Hogan,
Donovan, Jones. Harrison g. Guider.
This was the second time young Miss
Mclean has sought to change her
name. Back in 1888 a court order
altered her name from Emily Beale
Mclean to Evalyn Beale Mclean. 1t
was explained at that time that she
wanted to bear the same first name as
her mother. Now. she told the court,
because her brother. Edward Beale
Mclean, jr., has the same middle
name as her own and the family name
Of Beale is thereby perpetuated into
her own generation, she desires to
adopt and perpetuate as her middle
name the name of her great-grand-
father, Washington Mclean"

OSLO, Norway, August 28-The
Norwegian Ministry of Justice tonight
was reported to have ordered Leon
Trotzky and his wife informed and
two of his secretaries expelled from
this country.
The Trotzkys, the report stated.
will be confined in their house at
Hoenefoss until new domicile can
be found for them.
It was understood the reason for
the action was Trotzky's refusal to
accept conditions which the govern
ment sought to impose for his con-
tinued stay in Norway, although it
was announced earlier in the week
he had affixed his signature to a
pledge to abstain from any type of
revolutionary activity.
Earlier in the day Trotzky, pale
and patiently nervous, told q crowded

In France and other countries, advis-

He was testifying against five Nazis

Secretary Says Publisher
Told Landon to Avoid
Making Speeches.
PRESIDENTS SON NAMED
IN REBUTTAL ADDRESS
Hard, G. 0. P. National Commit
tee Speaker, Links Elliott
Roosevelt and Hearst.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Ickes' campaign speech in
which he linked the names of Gov. ALT
M. Landon and William Randolph
Hearst, publisher, brought quick reac-
ton today from Republican quarters.
The cabinet member, in a broadcast
address last night, described Hearst as
the new Republican boss" who had
cautioned Landon against talking too
much"
Evidence he said was given In court
last July by George F. Harding, Repub-
lican national committeeman for I'LL
nois, was used by Ickes in discussing
what he called "the relationship exist
ing between Gov. Landon and Mr..
Hearst"
Harding was quick to respond when
informed of the Ickes statements. He
was with Landon as the Republican
presidential nominees train crossed
Illinois.
Don't make me laugh. Ny lip is
cracked" said Harding. II just came
from hearing Gov. Landon make 10
speeches"
Memorandum Read.
In his address Ickes read a memo
randum he said was presented in a
court case as being from Hearst to
Harding, which read:
Il was very much impressed by what
you had to say about Gov. Landol,
not making too many speeches. If you
will write me to that effect, expressing
your views as frankly as you did when
you were talking, will. with your
permission, send the letter to Gov.
Landon. 1t co-operates with and sup
ports what I have already told the
Governor, and feel that such views
coming from such an important man
as yourself would have a great and
valuable influence.
II think the Governor naturally feels
this himself, but the average politician
around him is continually urging him
to get out and talk. Talk is the method
OF the average politician, but as you
very truly said, this is a campaign ir
which speech-making might do more
harm than good.
AT present, the Democrats have
notnlng 10 criticize Gov. Landon about.
You can see that In their attempt tc
criticize him Too many speeches might
give the Democrats their eagerly want
ed opportunity. Others try to combat
or at least try to offset the influence
OF those politicians who are continually
demanding more speeches"
Conversation Not Recalled.
Harding declared at Chicago that he
did not recall the conversation with
Hearst, but said:
However, do not care to dignity
the charges with an answer. It seems
that this is the only way they can
attack Gov Landon."
Speaking under the auspices OF the
Republican National Committee, Will
liam Hard said in a radio address
from the Capital last night it was
odd" that Ickes should not know
of the Hearst activities of the son Of
the gentleman whom he is supporting
for the presidency"
Hard went on to say that Elliott
Roosevelt sis exercising his legal and
moral right to be in the Hearst service
at this very time. He serves Mr..

SOV|ETSASK QUICK
| ARMED SANCTIONS
Bold Plan of League Reform
Would Provide Speedy
Anti-War Steps.
Ry tEe Associated Press.

GENEVA, August 28-Soviet Rus
STA tonight proposed a bold scheme
of League of Nations reform which
would force almost immediate mill
tary sanctions against any nation
making war.
Russia, in making the proposal,
opposed amendment of the League
Covenant as impractical, but recon-
mended adoption by the Assembly of
special protocol by which, in the
event of war, the League Council
would be summoned within three days.
Within another three days, the
Council, by quarters vote, would
decide whether circumstances existed
calling for the application of punitive
measures.
Action Would Be Automatic.
The salient feature of the Russian
scheme was provision under which
military sanctions could be taken,
automatically and Immediately, by
States having mutual assistance
agreement-even If the League Coun-
ell failed TO agree on who vas re.
sponsible for the war.
League members would agree that
such sanctions against q warning state
would not be deemed acts of agrees
sion.
Should the Council decree economic
and financial sanctions. under the
Soviet proposal, all League members
would be bound to contribute.
The League assembly meets the
third week in September, principally
to discuss proposals for League re-
form.
Argentine Proposal.
Recommendation that the League
of Nations covenant be co-ordinated
with the Briand-Kellogg pact outlaw
ing war and a peace agreement signed
at Rio de Janeiro in 1888 we're under
stood to be contained in a commune
cation from Argentina.
The note embodied Argentina's gen.
eral ideas for League reform, which
is to be attempted this Fall, largely
as a result of the Leagues failure to
stop the Italo- Ethiopian war
Argentina also was reported to have
suggested obligations for members of
the Kellogg-Briand pact and the Rio
treaty, even though they may not be
members of the League.
The note also recommended stress
ing the importance of the American
doctrine Of non-recognition of terri
tory acquired by force, it was stated.

PORTLAND, Maine. August 28.-
Maine provides the warming up gal
lop for the national election, as usual
-Four years ago, In its September
election, the Pine Tree State conclu-
sively showed the Democratic trend
of the country, electing Governor
and two out of three Representatives
to the National House. A couple OF
months later the State, seemingly
ashamed of what it had done, turned
its back on Franklin D. Roosevelt and
gave its electoral votes to Herbert
Hoover. But the damage, If any, hao
been done The Pine Tree State In
its September election had set the
pace for a Democratic landslide the
Nation over in November.
Now the Republicans are hoping
that Maine will lead the way, when
it votes on September IA, for G. o
p. national victory. They have some
reason for their hope-so far as
Maine is concerned.
Although some Of the Democrats
here steadfastly deny it, the pros
poets appear to be for the election Of
a Republican Governor, for the cleo.
ton of at least two of the three men,
bers of the States delegation in the
House. The senatorial contest in
which Senator Wallace White, jr., Re.
publican, is against Gov. Louis J.
Brann, Democrat, Is horse race. The
Republicans insist that White will
win by at least 5000 votes. The
Democrats say that the Senate seat /:
in the bag for Brann.
do not find any Democrats or Re-
publicans who believe that in the NO
vember election Maine will 60 foa
President Roosevelt
There are two reasons for this
Maine Is basically Republican and
basically conservative.
Gov. Brarn himself seems to real.
ize this to be the situation. For he
has not campaigned as New Dealer
and he has made as many friends
among the Republicans as he pos
sibly can. Nevertheless, Brann is the
White-hope of the Democratic high
command. 1t is commonly reported
and not denied that the Democratic
Governor was persuaded finally to
enter the race for the Senate by
Chairman James A. Farley or his
representatives. The theory was that
Brann, who had insisted he would not
again be a candidate for Governor OF
for other public Office, would be q
good bet to lead the Democratic ticket
in the September election. He wa,
needed in a situation that looked none
too good.
This September election in Maine
is in reality a local affair, and com.
plicated by local conditions. Never.
theless, the results of the election will
be hailed from one end Of the lane
to the other as an indication of the
national political trend. Some colol
can be found for such an interpreta.
ton because of the fact that United
States Senator and three Representa-.
tives are to be chosen.
The Republicans have nominated
for Governor Lewis o. Barrows, Al
present secretary Of state. Agains
him the Democrats have put up Har.
old Dubord, who had expected to rur
for the Senate until that nomination
was pulled out from under him by tn.
