next.
This opening Is two days earlier
than had been planned by General
Manager It. W. i'rlce, and four
days before the season's official
opening on July 1st.
The fact that the number of
tourists and other visitors going
up to Crater National park from
hero and Klamath Kalis has been
increasing daily and so many of
them have clamored for hotel ac
commodations Induced Mr. I'rlce
to change his plans and rush pre
parations for this early opening.
Mr. Price spent yesterday In Med
ford completing business in con
nection with the Crater lake sea
son and Ihe concessions which his
company holds, and this morning
left for the lake with the last con
tingent of the large number of
lodge employes. The employes
havo been arriving in the city by
siiuads since last Friday.
Boats Start July I
Although the lodge will be open
to fully care for all the visitors
from tills evening on, the boat,
staKe nnd other concessions, except
the cafeteria, will not begin oper
ating until July 1st. The cafeteria
has been in operation for over a
week, and Mr. Price said yesterday
IiihI done an unexpectedly large
business.
It has become a fad among Med
ford and o tile I- valley residents, as
two members of the Mall Tribune
staff discovered when they made
an early evening trip to the lake
last week, to leave the city about
6 p. m., dine at the cafeteria, enjoy
a brief view of the lake and then
drive home.

WASHINGTON, June lltf.
After sustaining a veto of
Us first hill for ivller of
world war veteran, the house
today passed a substitute
measure designed t over
come President Hoover's ob
jection to the original.
WASHINGTON, June 2B. !
The house sustained President j
Hoover today in vetoing the world
war veterans' relief bill.
Consideration of substitute leg
islation deslKiied to overcome Mr.
Hoover's objections to the original
measure began Immediately.
In hi veto message the presi
dent again protested the bill sent
to him was unjust, both to the
veterans nnd the taxpayers. He
said he wanted "a square deal
between veterans no unjust dis
crimination between special
groups." The lengthy veto mes
sage reached the house at 1:21
p. m., and onough votes to assure
Its being sustained had been cast
at 1 :4fi p. m.
The vote for upholding the
president was IKS to 1X2.
A two thirds vote would have
been necessary to override Mr.
I loover. '
The Republicans, 'who had gain
ed a pledge of 154 votes to mis
tain the veto, Jumped from their
seats and shouted and cheered
when the vote was announced by
speaker Ixjng worth. The major
ity, which came as a big surprise,
caused a round of hand-shaking
among the Republicans.
House leaders , estimate the sub
stitute hill would call for nn est!-'
mated expenditure of $50,000,000
for the 1931 fiscal year. The presi
dent said the bill vetoed would
hnve cost approximately $1X1,
000 000.
The substitute would take care
of all veterans whose disability Is
25 per cent in amounts ranging
from $12 to $40 monthly.
