Jerome Johanson, Irish Back Citizenship Oath Change Local Group Favors Bill Making Foreswearing Allegiance to King George Unnecessary Irish-Americans in Hartford are joining with citizens in other cities and states in backing the bill before Congress which proposes a new wording of the naturalization oath for Irishmen so that they may foreswear to Eire, ana not King George of England, when they are about to become citizens of the United States. The change in the present oath is being sought so that the complete independence of Eire will be recognized in the oath, Timothy Crowley, president of the Padraic Pearse Council of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic, said Saturday.

Mr. Crowley pointed out that for more than seven centuries Irishmen have shed blood for the freedom of their country and now, although they have won independence, they are still required, if they wish to become citizens of this country, to act as if they were British subjects in taking the oath. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachusetts, who will sponsor and introduce the bill in the Senate, presented the matter clearly in a lptcer to Secretary of State Cordell Hull on September 8, 1938 when Senator Lodge first began an investigation into the oath, Mr. Crow-lev said.

"It is further represented to me," Senator Lodge went on, "that the new Irish Constitution, to which Great Britain has offered no objection, recognizes no allegiance on the pant of citizens of Eire to any country or any sovereign other than the new Irish nation." Danaher Sympathetic To Bill.

Mr. Crowley Saturday received a letter from Senator John A. Danaher, whom, he said, was sympathetic to the bill and had been informed that two Hartford delegates from Padraic Pearse Council would be present in Washington when the bill came up for a hearing before the committee on immigration. Senator Danaher promised cooperation to the delegates. Senator Francis T.

Maloney is chairman of the subcommittee in charge of the hearing. The Padraic Pearse Council will meet Tuesday. February 14, at 8:30 p. m. at 450 Asylum street, to name the delegates who will attend the Washington hearing.
