IRISH SENATE @. KS
BILL ABOLISHING OATH
Amendment Multiplying Measure
Makes It Unsatisfactory to
Government.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated fTeSS-
DUBLIN, Irish Free State. June 28-
The Irish Senate today passed the De
Valera bill to abolish the oath to the
English crown, but the measure carried
an amendment which nullified the pur-
pose of the Free State government.
Minister Connolly of Telegraphs said
the government had no intention of ac-
cepting the measure in its present form,
but would let it go to the Dali with
the results that might be expected"
The Dali Eireann or lower house Of
the Free State Legislature originally
passed the bill abolishing the oath. 1t
was the intention of President De Valera
thereby to proclaim the Free States
complete independence. He had cam
paigned on the issue and insisted he
had mandate from the voters.
Opposition arose In the Senate and
amendments were offered and approved
that would have sterilized the bill. There
are now two alternatives. The Dali may
again pass the measure, and after l8
months it would become law despite any
action by the Senate. The other alter
native would be to call new elections.

sonal appeal to her many friends on
the Resolutions Committee for support
Of the District plank.
Mrs. Norton says she Is more con-
vinced each day that it is not only
the duty of the Federal Government
to desist from withholding this voting
privilege and voice in the law-makinG
body, but that it would be an impor-
tant relief to Congress if a citizen OF
the National Capital were made chair
man of the committee handling Dis
trict legislation. since the exclusive con-
troll over the District is by the COnsti-
tuition reserved to Congress.
AS the first woman ever to be desig-
mated as chairman of any committee
in Congress. Mrs Norton accepted the
Craftsmanship in duty to women. But
she stated before the subcommittee she
is ready to step aside any time that
Congress makes it possible for Dis
trict resident to succeed her.
Offers Own Plank.
Although she has been sick fol
several weeks, Mrs. Norton hurried Il
Chicago to present this plank and per.
sonally to urge its adoption by the
I Resolutions Committee Her plank is a!
follows:
The right Of our citizens to vott
/ and have a direct influence on public
officials who make and administer
their laws is inalienable under our Con
I StitutiOn
We believe that the citizens Of tht
/ District of Columbia should no Longer
I be discripliuated against in this re
/ gard
/ Therefore, We favor national repre-
/ sentation for the residents of the Dis.
trict of Columbia in Congress ane
/ pledge our party to take steps toward
that end

S3(ID,0lO,0)O RELIEF
AGREED ON FOR IDLE
Conferees Permit President
to Administer Part of
Fund for Distress.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional conferees on the un-
employment relief bill agreed today on
a $500, 100000 emergency aid fund to
be administered partially by the Presi-
dent on the basis of need.
The conferees determined upon the
$500, ,000,0 figure provided in the
Senate bill, but compromised on the
distribution of it to meet President
Hoover's wishes for an ALLEGATION on the
basis of distress rather than entirely on
population.
Adds to Borrowing.
Under the compromise plan, the fund
will be created by adding to the bor-
rowing power of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
CT this amount, s2OO,OOOOOO will be
allocated to the States on the basis of
population and the other S100, 900 900
will be distributed by the President as
he sees it.
Chairman Norbeck of the Senate con-
ferees said no agreement was reached
Oll lllC OlilCl bNO oECllOllo VI lllG DAll,
which contain the more controversial
issues.
He pointed out that President Hoover
had criticized the $500, 100000 section
because it was not elastic enough to be
distributed on the basis of need
THE conferees felt there was dis
tress in all States and that there might
be more in some than in others. The
Senate has surrendered to the President
on this"
Another Meeting Called.
Another meeting was called for late
today in an attempt to iron out the re-
manning differences.
The spirit of give and take over un-
employment relief and other pending
matters has pushed Congress a little
nearer possible, if not yet probable, ad-
journment Saturday.
But disturbing the otherwise smooth
ly-running machinery was charge by
Senator Moses, New Hampshire Re-
publican, that Democrats were think
ing too much about conventions and
too little about Congress.
His blast came shortly before House
and Senate confereeS on the $4,000 000,-
900 Garner Wagner relief bill reached
an agreement on one phase OF this
troublesome legislation.
