DE VALERA s AZ
. REFUSE OATH

DUBLIN, June 2s.-Eamon De
Valera came into the forefront of
Irish politics again this afternoon,
when with his forry-four republican
deputy followers, he marched into
the Dali Eiran Building with the
ayowed intention of taking the seats
to. which they were recently elected
without taking the oath of office.
There were cheers, some booing
and intense excitement when De
Valera and his followers entered
the building at 2;30 without hin
drance. At the end of half an hour
the group was still in the corridors
arguing with officials and refus-
ing to leave.
The republicans were reported to
be considering taking the oath
under protest.
Police were about the Dali Build
ing in great numbers, and only
deputies, officials and police were
allowed to enter the building.

ice fields, 900 miles from the near

deeply offended because the Soviet
government relieved them of all
taxes. An epidemic had killed
many of their reindeer and i'm
them to such an extent
that the government cancelled all
tax levics to give them chance to
recover.
1t is sign of disrcspcct to
us, - a speaker declared at a meet

amid cheers. A resolution demand
ing that taxation of the tribe be
resumed was overwhelmingly adopt

ycds were afraid that if the govern
ment did not tax them it would not
care for them.
At the recent Soviet elections,
forty-thrce per cent of the eligible
Samoycds voted, families travelling
long distances in their skincovcrcd
sledgcs to discharge their civic
duties. Notices of the election had
been mailed to the voters many
months ago on wooden postal cards

as though Hoppe carried his man.
In only one round, the sixth, did
Ruiz show any signs of life and then
