OVERRIDES F. R.
Vote Denying Roosevelt's
Personal Plea Against
Plan is 322 to 98
Senate to Consider Action
Today; Many Objections
" Raised by F.D.R.
WASHINGTON, May 22.-(Jp)-An
irrepressible house majority
today swiftly repassed the Patman
bonus bill over President Roose
velt's veto warnings of "disastrous
consequences." only to send the
new money plan to an almost cer
tain death in the senate.
Scarcely had Mr. Roosevelt's
Toice ceased echoing in the crowd
ed house chamber where he ham
mered objection after objection
into the $2,200,040,000 bill than
the representatives voted 322 p
-98 to override his veto the first
personally delivered in history.
It was many more than the two
thirds majority needed.
Senate to Consider
Veto Message Today
More deliberately, the senate
decided to wait until tomorrow to
consider the presidential message
which, with the house, it heard
flay "printing press money" as an
invitation of "an ultimate reck
oning in uncontrollable prices and
in the destruction of the value of
savings."
WASHINGTON, May 22.-;p-Some
of the objections raised by
President Roosevelt in his veto of
the Patman currency" expansion
bonus bill were:
1. It Is "a new straight gratuity
or bounty" of $1,600,000,000
which violates the entire principle
of yeteran benefits and bonus cer
tificates. 2. The "financial practice pro
vided" would not help Industries
having the greatest employment.
3. Able-bodied citizens, because
they wore uniforms, should re
ceive "no treatment" different
from that accorded those who did
not wear a uniform.
4. "It invites an ultimate reck
oning in uncontrollable prices and
in the destruction of the value of
savings."
5. "Printing press money" in
most cases has ended in "wiping
out the currency of the afflicted
country," and spelled "disastrous
consequences."
. The debt is due in 1945,
"not today."
7. To urge it as a relief meas
ure indulges in a "fallacy" that
relief should be extended on some
' basis other than need.
8. The veteran who suffers can
best be aided by "rehabilitation
of the country as a whole."

BOSTON, May 22.-(P)-The attorney-general's
depaj-tment to
night was on a wide hunt for
nearly J21.000.000 invested in
two defunct securities houses and,
at the same time, trying to link a
state blue sky investigator with a
closed bucket-shop.
While Attorney General Paul
A. Dever was trying to get on the
trail of the millions invested in
the seaboard utilities shares and
railroad shares corporations,
once dominated by Bowen Tufts,

cide last April, an assistant, Wil
liam P. Fielding, was trying to
learn if "George Foster," whose
name was found on checks made
out by a bucket shop operator now
in Jail was the George A.' Foster
formerly employed by the state.
Two "George Fosters" were de
scribed today by witnesses who
endorsed checks signed by liar-,
old !. McCormack, the convicted
bucket shop operator, at a hear
ing on Foster's reinstatement ap
peal. A hand-writing expert testified
that three endorsements on checks
allegedly sent from McCormack to
Foster were those of George A.

-Judge Donald T. Templeton of
Washington county tonight asked
Governor Charles H. Martin to
call out national guard troops to
disperse union pickets at the
Stimpson. lumber mill at Forest
Grove.
Governor Martin, who was in
Corvallis tonight, said he would
confer with Major-General George

uation. Sheriff John W. Connell of
Washington county and 109 dep

riot clubs had viewed the pickets
and then recoiled to map strategy.
This was. the first massing of
counter forces in the Pacific
northwest lumber strike which
broke May 6 and has throws 46,

ber workers into idleness.
Situation Growing ..
More Serious
While the picture at Forest
Grove grew more ominous hourly,
one hopeful sign in strike settle
ment was the vote tonight at the
St. Helens plant of the McCormick
lumber mill of union workers to
return to worktomorrow under a
compromise offer granting a five
cent boost in wages, time and a
half for overtime and union rec
ognition. A showdown at the Stimpson
mill was expected at 1 o'clock

would attempt to persuade the
men not to go to work.
