Until a late hour yesterday, indica tions were the two groups of conferees would gather this morning for an other effort to agree. It developed, however, that some of the members found other business awaiting their attention, and decided to find out whether anything would be gained by holding the conference. Senator Thomas got in touch with Blanton to find out whether there was any prospect for an agreement. The Senator said the Texan told him the House conferees were willing to meet, but reminded Thomas that the House members were under instruc tions not to yield. This had reference to the resolution Blanton succeeded in having adopted Tuesday directing the House members to hold out for the $2,700,000 lump sum. for elimina tion of character education and for a ban on any outside work by District officials receiving salaries of $2,400 or more a year. Less than half the ! membership of the House voted on the motion to instruct its conferees on the lump sum, vote being 142 to 39. The decision of Senator Thomas to proceed with the continuing resolu tion gave new hope for ultimately sustaining me ouugeu duiraua jjubi tlon on the lump sum issue, because passage of the resolution will pu)> the question up to the House again. Even if the budget figure of $5,700, 000 is continued for another year, the local community would be meeting more than 85 per cent of the ex penses of the Capital, but if the House bill should be agreed to, residents of the District would be called upon to meet 94 per cent of the total. In other words, with the House lump sum of $2,700,000, the Federal Govern ment would be furnishing only 6 per cent of a bill totalling about $43,000, 000. Under the practice of annual lump sum departures from the unrepealed substantive law, which fixed the Fed eral share at 40 per cent, the House | has cut the Federal payment down in recent years from a maximum figure | of $9,500,000 to the present $5,700,000 level, and is now fighting to take an other $3,000,000 off Uncle Sam's share. This has been accomplished by in sisting that the Senate members yield in conference, and the determination the Senate group is showing this year against bowing once more to the House conference is based partly on the principle that they should not have to yield continually on this question. There is also strong sentiment in the Senate against, the House ban on outside work, which would prevent judges from lecturing in law schools and also prevent other .District offi cials, including doctors, from engaging in any outside practice. VATICAN EFFECTS PILGRIMAGE LAWS Practice of Recently Issued Rules Begun as Crowds Throng Rome. Fy thr Associated Press. VATICAN CITY, May 28.-Sweep ing regulations governing pilgrimages went Into practice today for the first time with the arrival of hundreds of pilgrims to celebrate Pope Pius’ 79th birthday anniversary Sunday. The rules were t&fsued in April, but this was their first application. The Congregation of the Council promul gated them in order that "Pious and religious voyagers may fully conform to their high purpose.” The congregation, of which William Cardinal O’Connell of Boston is a member, provided that the “pil grimages must at all times preserve their religious character and be con sidered as true and proper acts of Christian piety.” Consequently, they must be com pletely distinct from trips organized for pleasure or rest. Everything must be avoided which would conflict with the religious nature of the voyage. The congregation declared only ec clesiastical authorities had the right to promote and direct pilgrimages. No company, therefore, even if di rected bv relielnus Institutes, could start and guide the pilgrimages unless they were first promoted, or at least approved, by the ecclesiastical au thorities. These authorities were enjoined to see that every pilgrimage was pre pared and carried on under the di rection of men of recognized virtue. Each pilgrimage was accompanied by a priest as spiritual director. The congregation ruied out all idea of profit from pilgrimages, declaring: “In fixing prices, directors of pil grimages will bear In mind that these holy voyages must be made possible also to the faithful of modest finan cial status. Therefore nothing must be asked of pilgrims beyond what is necessary for a prudent administra tion and every idea of profit must be completely abandoned.” The congregation forbade the clergy to arrange the technical organization of the pilgrimages. This was left to “trustworthy and expert laymen.” j FIVE SHOT IN MUTINY Unconfirmed Reports Hold Nica ragua Soldiers Victims. SAN JOSE.
