OATH ABOLITION
WINS FIRST TEST
Passes Initial Reading in Dali, but
Critical Vote Is Due
Next Week.

BY the Associated Press.
DUBLIN, April 20.-President Eamon
de Valera's bill to abolish the oath OF
allegiance to the British crown was
passed on first reading with division
in the Dali today.
This had been expected, but crit
ical vote is looked for when the bill
comes up for second reading next
Wednesday,
formal objection to the measure
was entered by Deputy McDermott
independent, by way of serving notice
that vital debate on the issue might
be expected to begin next week.
President De Valera contends that by
moving to abolish the oath to the crown
he is carrying out mandate from the
people who elected him to Office.
One OF his first official acts after in
auguration as President was to notify
the British government that the oath
would be abolished and that payment
OF the Irish land annuities to England
would be discontinued. England warned
him that such steps would be regarded
with the gravest concern"
more practical obstacle was placed
N his way last week when the largest
individual employer of labor in Ireland
announced that if the Fianna Fail pro-
gram resulted in Ireland's separation
from the British commonwealth his
conpany's factories would be removed
to England and at least 1,500 men
would be laid off.

covering today from a soaking in chilly
water.
DR.. John F. Condor, the "Jafsie"
who paid $4,000 of the colonels
money to a man who represented him
self as an agent of the kidnapers, went
rowing in Pelham Bay, off the Bronx,
New York, in an apparent attempt to
make another contact.
His boat capsized at a dock as he re-
turned and he was thoroughly wet be-
fore he scrambled ashore The New
York Daily News quoted him as saying
Il got message"
Ten thousand dollars was transferred
from other State police accounts today to
help defray expenses of the official in
vestigation of the Lindbergh KIDNAPPING
SO far the State police inquiry has
developed hundreds of tips" clues and
wild leads" but not one has proved
Of value, as far as is known.
Today's police bulletins from the

separate Investigations that had been
made in the hope of finding trace of
the missing child, but none turned out
to be of any Importance, Col. H. Nor

ECONOMY GROUP
AGREES TO HOOVER
REVAMP|NC PLAN
Proposed Reorganizations to
Be incorporated in
Omnibus Bill.
DETAILS OF MEASURE
STILL TO BE DECIDED
Committee Would Have Presidents
Act Subject to o. K. of
Congress.

A virtual agreement to give President
Hoover power to reorganize certain
phases Of the Government to effect saw
ings was reached today by a majority
of the Special House Economy Com
mittee.
Representative Williamson, Republi-
can, Of South Dakota, was instructed by
Chairman McDuffie to revamp his pro-
posal to authorize the Chief Executive
to effect the reorganization. 1t is to be
inserted into the s2Oo,O0o,OO0 retrench-
ment omnibus bill.
President Hoover has requested Con-
gress to give him this power. William
son, ranking Republican on the Expen-
ditureS Committee and author of several
consolidation bills that have been
enacted, sponsored the legislation.
Although details of the proposal are
yet to be worked out, the Economy
Committee indicated it planned to di-
rect the President to make certain
changes in the Governments set-up
subject to approval by Congress.
Meanwhile. however, Speaker Garner
vigorously denounced what he termed
the lack OF cooperation given to Con-
gresS in the economy drive by the ad-
ministrative branch of the Govern
ment. Except for suggestions sent down
by the President, he said, the admin
iStrative branch has done nothing. -
Everything that has been done by
the Economy Committee or by the
Senate could have been done by the
Appropriations Committee" he empha-
sized.
Commenting upon Secretary Wilbur's
sharp criticism of the action of Con-
gress in slaShing the Interior Depart
ment appropriat ations, Speaker Garner
said
The trouble with Secretary Wilbur
is he and his department have done
nothing toward economy, either hocus
pocuS or otherwise. We could absol-te-
ly get no information from the depart
ment on which to base elective reduc-
tions, though We adopted the only
course left open In ordering the 10 per
cent cut.
"Of course, If the department spends
illegally the appropriations made for it,
depicting within 6 months what was
intended to be spread over ~ months,
a deficit will arise, and what Congress
Will do about that remains to be seen" !"
Proposals Studied.
Meanwhile, the committee began
study Of President Hoover's proposals
to reduce by $80,000,000 Dement'S to
World War veterans. j. O'Connor Rob-
erts, solicitor of the Veterans Admin
1stration, explained the Chief Execu-
tive's proposals.
The committee has proposed a reduc-
tion Of s29 9o00,000 in the Veterans Ad-
ministration.
A statement issued by the national
headquarters of Disabled Veterans Of
Foreign Wars said the Presidents pro-
poSals we're too drastic.
They would reduce allowance pen
sions and free hospitalization to vet
Grams and place other restrictions on
benefits
