Ninety-three Republicans and one Democrat voted to sustain the veto while 103 Democrats ami 80 Republicans and one Farmer Laborite opposed it.

The measure now goes to the senate where the veto mes sage is scheduled for discussion today. The bill, as approved, would! give independence to the islands after 10 years of preparation un-1 dot- commonwealth government. ■ Mr. Hoover in a long'hy veto mes sage criticized the measure on moral. economic and international grounds and added it was "sub ject to the most serious objec tions." The president cautioned against the external dangers to Philippine independence. He pointed out neighbors of the islands have se rious population troubles. "Many of these races are more devoted to commercial activities than the population of the islands an<l the infiltration is constant and fraught with friction," the message warned. "Nor has the spirit of imperial! m an the.ddTa spirit of imperialism and the ex ploitation of peoples of other races departed from the earth. "After the establishment of in dependence the Filipino people alone will be helpless to prevent sueh inflation or invasion." The political dangers of the situation, Mr. Hoover said also, are greatly increased by the pres ent instability in the Orient."

VAUGHN United Pres* Staff Correspondent TOKIO. Jan. 14.— (UP)— High resentment among the ranks of Japanese officials was the reac tion yesterday to President Hoo ver's purported intimations that Japanese aggression might follow if the United States granted in dependence to the Philippine Islands. The president did not mention Japan specifically, the Japanese admitted, but they regarded his statement in his vesto message on the Philippines independence hill that the Filipinos would be help less to prevent infiltration of I neighbors as a direct intimation | he feared Japanese invasion of | the islands. This section of thp president's I veto message was closely scrutin ized at the Gaimusho (foreign of fice). and in the war and navy j departments. Officials admitted there was i nothing they could object to spe j cifically, but none would agree I that Mr. Hoover was referring to [any other country than Japan, al | though the Chinese also have mi grated to the Philippines in in ! creasing numbers in recent years, i Most of the small shops and other small businesses are run by Chi nese. Although they objected to this phase of the Hoover veto, the Japanese were frank to admit they regarded Philippine indepen dence as a possible danger to tranquility in the Orient. Officials said granting indepen dence at this time to the islands might unbalance the political sit uation in the Far East and in crease the possibility of complica tions involving China and the Philippines rather than Japan. These complications would be inevitable, it was pointed out, if the Filipino people sought to pre vent Chinese penetration of their islands.

Leaders Consider Withdrawing Glass Bank Bill LONG GIVES"THOMAS HIS TALKING POINTS WASHINGTON, J.n. 14.— (UP)—At the request of Mi nority Leader Robinson, the Philippines independence bill was brought before the senate immediately on convening to day. WASHINGTON, Jan. 14. (UP) A battle royal impended in the senate arena today as Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia, sought >rag rule to stifle the Long Thomas filibuster. Fate of the Glass bank reform bill is at stake. Republican lead ers have warned Glass he invites defeat in proposing cloture. That rarely erected dam to senate ora tory requires a two-thirds major ity. It last was effected in 1927 on a prohibition bill. There was a possibility that a showdown on the cloture proposal might be delayed by consideration of the Philippine independence bill on which the house yesterday overrode President Hoover's veto. Leaders had not determined defi nitely whether they would try to bring up the Philippine measure today or wait until early next week. GLASS VS. LONG In the cloture dispute, Glass and his rapier tongue are pitted against Long. Democrat, Louisi ana. the kingfish from the far South. Republican senators warned Glass he probably woubj b»,-*hy the two-thirds majority. Glass was adamant. "The cloture is dead," said Sen ate Majority Leader Watson. ''I am sorry. I am for it. But we lack about three votes." Glass told questioners that 27 Democrats had been pledged tu cloture and he hoped for 30. About 21 Republicans are said to have signed the cloture petition. That would indicate a maximum of 51 votes with all members pres ent. (54 votes would be required to invoke the gag rule. By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. (IT). The senate filibuster against the Glass bank bill rolled on like the tides in the dark of the moon yesterday, and the end is not yet in sight. Senator Carter Glass, Demo crat, Virginia, whose bill is in jeopardy, stood like a frail Ca nute, trying to check the surge against him, but the filibustered were always in command of the situation. Last night disgruntled Republican leaders were seriously discussing conceding the success of the filibuster and withdrawing the bank bill in favor of other legislation. It was Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat, Oklahoma, who took up the burden of the battle yes terday. From noon until dusk be talked, and galleries which were jammed to the last tier of seats were treated to one of the great est exhibitions of expert filibus tering ever seen in the senate. Thomas' technique departed from that of Senator Huey Long, Democrat, Louisiana, who talked for three days until his voice was filed away to a whisper. Long's method was to apply brute force —to shout, wave his arms and stride the floor until his collar wilted. Not so with Thomas. He took his stand beside Glass' desk, and in a leisurely, insistent voice set out to devour time with his words. He was never hurried, never excited and never loud. Frequently he would turn to Glass and propounded a question, thereby forcing the Virginia sen continued on page three) MLQMS What is the cost of a MODERN BATTLESHIP?
