Sen. Oddie, Nevada Dry, Swaps
 Horses to Follow State Mandate

Washington, May os UP)-An- other drb senator, Oddie, repn., Nev. today joined those who declare they will vote to submit an amendment to the constitution repeating or modifying the eighteenth amend ment If their states ask it..
 Oddie is the third senator to take this stand in as many days. His pre- decessors were Senators Walsh, dem., Mont, and Jones, repn., Wash. Most Of the other senate drys refused to omment publicly on the announce rents made by their colleagues, but privately opposed them.
 My state has vote dry and later voted in favor of modification and l consider it the proper thing to fol- low the mandate of my state when 1t is clearly defined" Oddie told the United Press.
 He has been considered stalwart dry, although in 1926 his state voted 1s,00O to 5000 that prohibition was failure and that congress should call a constitutional convention to amend the 18th amendment.
 Eight years before that, in 1918, Nevada voted 13,00o to 5000 to for bid the sale of intoxicating liquor.
 Jones' announcement, the first of the three, has created a sensation on capitol hill despite the fact that Jones denied it represented any change of attitude on his part.
 Notwithstanding this, wet leaders regarded his announcement and the similar statement from Walsh as great victories. Other dry senators asserted, however, that wet activities in Washington and Montana had caused these announcements, and indicated they would not commend as long as their states remained ap- parentiy as dry as ever.

FEDERATION HEAD SAYS
 WORK IS STILL SCARCE
Usual Spring Revival Fails to Aid Unemployment Situation Preei-
 dent Green Says.

Washington, May o9 UP)-The coming of spring weather which usually brings a revival in the building trades and in out-of doors work generally has failed thus far to ease unemployment, according to figures made public by President William Green Of the American Federation Of Labor.
 Green said one out of every five union laborers still lacks steady work. Unemployment in union cir cles, he said, stood at 20 per cent IF May as compared with 21 per cent in April.
 Some casual laborers have found work farming and building roajs, Green explained, and the bread- lines no longer are necessary, but there has been very little improve ment' in the unemployment situa- tion generally.
 Lack of the usual spring improve ment was attributed by Green to the serious situation in building and the general slow recovery of trade and industry"

CHURCH DEBATES
 INTERNAL STRIFE
CongreSationalsts Try to Heal Breach Between Two Pastors

Chicago, May 20 LP)-A council of pastors and lay representatives gath cred today 10 settle internal strife among members of the historic New England Congregational church, old est and formerly most fashiona ble of the denomination in Chicago.
 A minority faction charged the Rev. Dr. Ernest Graham Guthrie and several other members of the gold coast congregation with having forced the Rev. John RGshton Hey worth to resign by threatening to take from the church it's chief source of revenue, the income from s300,- 900 legacy left by the late Victor F. Lawson.
 Dr. Guthrie is general director of the Chicago Congregational Mission ary and Extension society, one of the most important positions of the denomination. The Lawson fund was left in trust with the society.
 Police Called
 Dr, Heyworth last April resigned the pastorate, which he was per- suaded to accept five years ago by MT. Lawson. No suggestion that the resignation was made unwillingly came until yesterday. when the minority faction said there was such storm of protest at the meeting which accepted the resignation that police were called. It was indicated that Dr. Guthrie also would be charged with attempt ing 10 gain control of the church property, estimated 10 be worth S50O,000, and was "misdirecting and interfering with the affairs of the church"
 Dr. Charles r. Loesch, brother of Attorney Frank J. Loesch, is one of the leaders Of the minority fac- ton.
 Dr. HeyWorth succeeded Ma Anthony Thornton Mills as pastor. Major Mills was asked to resign be- cause of what were termed radical tendencies. which included bringing "hoboes' into the church.

CONSIDER PASSING
 BILL DESPITE VETO
Sen. Connaly Sponsors Motion
 to Disregard Presidential Protest

Washington, May 29 P)-A pro- posal that a bill providing a new basis for Spanish war pensions be passed over the veto of President Herbert Hoover today con- fronted the senate.
 Senator Connally, democrat, Tex as, was the sponsor of a motion to take such action, which required a thirds vote of both branches of congress. Senator Robinson of In diana, staunch member of the regular republican bloc, was the author of the pension measure in question.
 The bill was returned to congress with Mir Hoover's disapproval late ceived when Connally asked that the senate override the veto. Sey- eral senators requested time to study the presidential veto message and further consideration was de- ferred until today.
 WAS SeNOItu veto 1 l. was MT. Hoovers second veto. The first disapproved a bill 10 mint special memorial coins in connection with the celebration of the Gadsden purchase.
 The presidents objection to Che Robinson bill was based upon three points. He argued in his message it would permit the payment of pen sons 10 veterans for sabilities arising from vicious habits, would allow pensions to persons not in financial need of them and would lower the period of service required of those 10 whom pensions are paid.
 Mir. Hoover said the pension policy of the nation excluded from com- pensation those whose disa bihties arise from vicious habits. The bill in question, he added. "breaks down that policy of exclusion and opens the doors for claims of disability incurred at any time in the life of the pensioner arising from venereal diseases, alcoholism, drug habits, etc.
 Opposes Decrease
 He opposed decreasing the mini- mum service period from 90 days to 70 days, as provided in the bill. The 90-day minimum had been main- tained throughout the years, he said, in connection with pensions 10 civil war veterans.
 Tt seems to me-" the president continued, that in the interest of justice to the taxpayer and to main- tain the fine body of citizens com- prlsed in our war veterans, free from the stigma Of encroachment upon the public treasury, there should be 8 requirement of need as we'll as disability as a basis for these pensions"
 He described the payment of pen sions 10 persons otherwise in com fortable. circumstances as "the height q injustice" The spirit of the pension system, he said, is that Of a grateful nation rising to the support of those who have served in war, were injured or who met with legitimate difficulties in after life which impose privations upon them"
 Many veterans, he added. refuse pensions when they can get along without them, yet the cases Of selfshness are bound to cause constant irritation of feeling against a pension system that permits these unmerited and unnecessary pay ments."
