CAROLINA, FRIDAY, MARCH SOTH, 1U33 EIGHT PAGES) NUMBER ? lb - 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.
