Mayor Hayes and he declared that he spoke for the finance board when he asked that the third pros- ecutor be eliminated as d matter or. economy. >
 Rep. Larash of Orange declared at this point of the hearing that nobody expected any court to be a rcvenue-producing body and that the mere fact that Waterbury's city court showed a deficit over q period of several yeors should not influence anyone's opinion on the question of a third prosecutor.
 Attorney U. C.. Church, repre- senting the Waterbury Non- Parti- san Civic Union, declared that Wa terbury was in a serious financial strait. An emergency exists in the city. therefore every possibly econ- omy should be made, He said that if property owners are to be saved from foreclosures taxes must drop. The subject of q third prosecutor, he declared, transcends partisan politics.
 "The people" said Atty. Church "are 100 per cent behind Mayor Hayes in this fight over the city court. And there is sentiment III Waterbury that instead of 20 per cent pay cut we should have a 25 per cent one. As a lawyer l do not regard the third prosecutor as a benefit to the people of Water bury. It is rather a detriment to the Bar. Two prosecutors can handle the job. Nobody has ever said the third prosecutorship was justified. It was simply created to find job for somebody.
 Attorney Michael Blansfield fol- lowed Attorney Church with the startling statement that a third prosecutor in Waterbury was as necessary as fifth wheel on a wagon He said that if the job is not eliminated the pay of the prosecutors should be combined and paid out to the three. The prosecutor and a deputy will take care of the court.
 William J. Pape, publisher Of the Waterbury Republican and American, said that third pros ecutor was needed just as much as a man needed three legs. He said that one judge of the Water bury court, told him that he hated to name a third prosecutor but the law compelled him to. Economy now is necessary as never before. he stated.
 Turning to Mayor Hayes. Mir Pape said. "I think. Mir Mayor. now is the time to lay off other city employees and suggest start ing in the street department. build. ing department. legal department. and in your own office"
 Charles De Bisschop. g.o.p. ward chairman. declared that he spoke for four of the five ward chairmen In opposing the third prosecutor. shlp,

De Valera Ends His Long Fight
dContinued from Page 1.)

1Continued from Page 1.) oath abolition bill. but it was defeated by the senate. After the De Valera government was re-af- firmed in the last general election the measure was revived and put through the dail again. The con stitution proivdes that such action may become effective after cer- tain delay, even if the senate con- tinues to oppose it.
 The oath has been described as the sole link which still binds the Free State formally with the Brit ish crown. De Valera and his fol- lowers, fighting for an independent Ireland, have 'waged bitter war fare in the past and, more recent ly have used every political weapon to rip out the entire oath clause from the Treaty of 1881.
 The action to-day was by the DaiI, which passed a government motion declaring the oath bill to be effective in accordance with the constitutional procedure requiring GO days lapse after rejection by the senate. The vote was 7G to 75.
 Thus, De Valera's 14months fight to fulfill an election promise was achieved.
 The oath itself reads:
 "I. ... do solemnly swear true faith and allegiance to the consti- tution of the Irish Free State as by law tablished and that I will be faithful to H. M. King George V., his heirs and successors by law, in virtue of the common cit izenship of Ireland with Great Britain and her adherence to and membership of the group of na- tions forming the British com monwealth of nations"
 The Free State parliament mem- bers were required to take the oath.
 The bill will be signed tonight in the name of the king by the former rebel, Governor General l Domnall La Bauchalla (Donal Buckley and will become law at midnight.
 A dramatic scene occurred when De Valera, making the motion for abolition of the oath, said the civil war was caused by our opponents who tried to insist that a certain section of the people take the oath"
 Former President William T. Cosgrave, leader of the opposition arose and interjected:
 You began the civil war; we ended it.
 "We are ending it here today. thank God" De Valera retorted. The Dali applauded.
 De Valera gave a yelled warning to the republican white army" not to overstep the bounds. He said removal of the oath would be fol- lowed by removal of other sym bols of British authority.

 Earlier, the house sent the strict Iy farm aid sections of the bill to conference with the senate. where differences between the two cham bers will be smoothed out. Final passage of the entire measure will come after the conferees have completed their work, expected early next week.
 The currency and credit inf1ation sections were approved this after noon in exactly the form passed by the senate, thus eliminating all ne- cessity for compromise on this un- parelled legislation.
 The party division on the intia- ton roll call showed 273 demo- crats, 30 republicans and four far mer laborites supporting the pres idential program. Voting against were seven democrats and 79 re- publicans.
 The House action vested the president with permissive, but not mandatory, authority to:

TO PROTEST RACE
viii Discuss Disqualification
in Thompson Trophy Event
at Los Angeles.

Col. Roscoe Turner, holder of num-
Der of American speed records and

this month at Los Angeles. arrived in

the home pylon on the first lap Of the
l0O-mile course He said on arrival
here that he felt he had cut the pylon,
but because his plane was punched with
several others he was unable to turn
out to recircle the pylon. On the next
lap, however. he said, he circled the
home pylon twice.
II really feel that I am entitled to
the trophy" he said If had broken
off the course when I missed the pylon
I certainly would have endangered
other pilots l certainly showed good
faith when I circled the pylon twice on
the next lap, and that act so reduced
my speed that it was fair to other
contestants"
The Contest Committee, of which
William P MacCracken. jr., former
Assistant Secretary of Commerce for
Aeronautics, is chairman. will meet
tomorrow morning at the headquarters
of the National Aeronautic Association,
Dupont Circle, to hear Turner.

Atlantic to the Pacific, and took a
total of s6.175 prize money in this and
