 Over Connecticut Hills

Thompsonvile, July ? P}-Now that the 250th anniversary cele- bration at Enfield is completed, Tertius, anniversary loving turtle, is reported racing across Con- necticut hills in search of more anniversaries to celebrate in others of his home towns.
 Tertius couldn't possibly miss the Enfield celebration, because it was in the woods near the town 66 years ago that he received the inscription on his shell reading: U. M. Bowen, 1864, Eighth Con- necticut Vol" The marking was done by James M. Bowen, who at the time was recuperating in Con- necticut from wounds suffered in the Civil war.
 Since that day Tertius has not been seen around until he turned up, markings and all, on the old c. D. Bent farm, two miles from where he was left in 1864.

CHURCH WILL VOTE ON FATE 0F PRIEST Rev. P. ]. PaskieWych, Indicted
 by Jury, May Lose Pulpit LINKED WITH WINE CASE
Chairman of Trustees of Ukrainian Parish Says Judgment is Suspend ed Until Meeting-Denies Church Was Involved in Scandal.

Whether Rev. Peter J. Pashkie- wych, pastor of the st. Mary's Uk- rainian Congregation of the Greek Catholic church on Winter street, who was indicted on a charge of perjury in connection with an alleg- ed prohibition violation by the fed eral grand jury in New York, Mon- day, will remain as pastor of the church will be decided at a meet ing of the officers and trustees of the church tonight at 8 o'clock at the church basement.
 If the body finds that Rev. Father Pashkiewych has injured the repu- tation of the congregation by his alleged sacramental wine violations ne will be dismissed from the par ish, although the sentiment among the 12 officers and trustees lies in favor of ehe pastor, it is said
 Nikifor Nostin, chairman of the board of trustees for the past two years, intimatad today that the worll Of Rev. Father Pashkiewych for the parish was approved and that he has satisfactorily conducted the church and school work since com ing here more than a year and half ago.
 We find no fault with Rev. Father Pashkiewych," said Mir. Nos tin, speaking in behalf of several of the board of trustees today, but if he is found guilty, the consequences will fall on bim and not on the parish"
 Denies Complicity of Parish
 He emphaticalIy denied that the parish was in any way connected with the illegal use of the sacra- mental wine and expressed doubt whether more than five gallons, which was used for church purposes during 1929, ever was brought to this city.
 What Rev. Father Pashkiewych has done with the 2,700 gallons of wine that he is said to have ordered in 1929 we do not know In fact, we did not know that such a large quantity of wine was ever ordered by our parish" he said.
 T do remember paying a bill of s25 for the wine last year." he add ed, but concerning all other or ders we know nothing. The con- gregation is a religious one and has left all responsibilities of the parish ir the hands of Rev. Father Pash- kiewych. If he has violated any the consequences"
 MT. Nostin, in company with an- other trustee of the parish, was called to the grand jury hearing in New York about three weeks ago to be questioned by United States Dis trict Attorney Grant.
 While there he learned for the first time that Rev. Father Fash kiewych is alleged to have issued orders for 2,700 gallons of sacra mental wine during 1929.

 Out Of Order
HOUSE SUPPORTS HOOVER
 IN ENFORCEMENT REQUEST
No Debate Precedes Vote to Give Wickersham Commission $250,OO0 Unique Rule Makes Reconsider alton Possible-TwO Bills Return ed to Conference for Further Action.


 Action
 Washington. July 2 (UP) - The senate's lberalized pension rates bill was blocked temporarily in the hoVse today by Speaker Longworth, who ordered it sent to conference for revision,
 Longworth ruled it would be out of order for the house to accept the amendment which the senate adopt ed in increasing the disability allow ance of veterans.
 The speaker made the ruling after a parliamentary inquiry pro- pounded by Rep. Rankin, dem, Miss, who favors the Walsh-Con- nally amendment. The senate wrote this amendment into the administra- tion bill against the wishes of Presi- dent Hoover and house leaders, Rankin sought to offer a concurring motion when the revised bill arrived from the senate.
 By his arbitrary ruling, Long, worth avoided threatened insur- rection in republican ranks in the house, at least for the present
 Many republicans were said to favor the senate bill, but they may not now be given an opportunity to vote on it.
 While his ruling stood only tenn porarily, the house rules committee has prepared a special resolution to back up Longworth's stand. This will be considered later in the day.
 Before the house session today, Republican Floor Leader Tilson said it appears virtually impossible for congress to adjourn this week. The statement was made after a canvass of the legislative situation at a meeting of the steering com mittee. Unless it becomes possible to adjourn tomorrow night, Tilson said, the plan is to recess until Monday.
