OVERRIDES
PRESIDENTS
VETO
Washington, March SI. ? By a
three vote margin, the Senate to-J
night enacted over President
Roosevelt'* veto the Independent
offices appropriation bill with vet
erans and Federal pay provisions
higher than the Administration
had wanted.
The vote ot (3 to 27 ended
?even honra ot uproarious debate
and completed the route of Ad
ministration forces started yes
terday by the House when It vot
ed 310 to 72 against the Pret>l
dent. A two-thirds majority was
required to pass the measure over
the veto.
Cheers and loud applause swept
the packed galleries as Vice
President Garner announced the
reault.
Republicans lined up solidly to
override the veto, 33 of them
voting "aye." Twenty-nine Demo
crats left the reservation to vote
with them, along with the lone
Farmer-Labor member, ShlpsteaU
of Minnesota.
The 27 answering "no" were
all Democrats.
Pleas from Democratic Leader
Robblnson and Senator Pat Har
rison (D-Mlss.) that confidence
In the President would be shaken
should his wishes be ignored fail
ed to stem the tide of revoU.
The veteran Carter Glass, Vir
ginia Democrat, despite a recent
illness, sought with his old time
vigor to swing the decision for|
the President.
The overriding means that ap
proximately $90,000,000 to $100,
000,000 will be returned to
World war and Spanlsh-Amerl
can War veterans annually with
out review of their cases to de
termine whether their disabilities
were of service origin. The Pres
ident had held out for temporary
restoration of these veterans to
^these veterans to the rolls pend
Ang review ot the cases to elim
inate the undeserving.
It also means government em-1
ployes'who had their salaries cut
15 per cent by the economy act
will get back five per cent, or
$26,000,000, as of February 1 to
July 1, and another Ave per cent
for the next fiscal year, or about
<126,000,000.
In his veto message the Presi
dent said the bill provided $228,-!
000,000 more than budget esti
mates for the new fiscal year
without suggesting ways of pro
ducing new revenues to meet the
added expense.
The bill supersedes the regu
lations issued yesterday by the
President restoring, pending le
view, 29,000 World War presump
tive cases at 75 per cent of for
mer compensation, and thousande
of Spanish Wat veterans and
their widows and orphans at a
like 75 per cent, who were strick
en from the rolls because of lark
* of proof of service origin for
their injuries.
In a desperate -attempt to rally
enough members to uphold the
wishes of President Roosevelt,
Democratic leaders fought stub
bornly to hold off the attack of
"a Senate coalition of Democrats
?and Republicans that sought to
override the veterans veto.
Galleries that resembled war
times and a floor crowded with
members and Congressional spec
tators looked on.
