MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCII 29, 1934. PAOE THREE , WHATIL WE USE FEDEMLHEADS (Continued rrom page one) farmer-labor member, Shipstead of Minnesota. All 27 voting to sustain the president came from the demo cratlc stde., . Stirring Scenes at Vote Stirring scenes accompanied the vote. . Opponents of the veto Ignored all pleas by the democratic leaders that such action might shake confi dence in .President Roosevelt at a time when It was needed. Ann6uncement of the vote by Vice President Garner brought cheers, shouts and applause from the crowd ed galleries. Despite warnings from the chair thfte had been previous outbursts both on the senate floor and In the crowds above. Washington received the news with some' excitement. It meant that $26,000,000 extra would be given fed eral employees between now and July 1, part of It retroactive until Febru ary 1. In addition to this five per cent restoration of the government pay-cut, another five per cent adding another $126,000,000 will go into ei-; feet July 1. Much of this money will be spent in the capital. f Wait F. It.'s Answer While official Washington listened i for Mr. Roosevelt's answer, it recalled j that he had declared the bill went $228,000,000 beyond his budget estl-1 mates with no provision as to how ! this sum would be obtained. ' In 'his veto message he inveighed chiefly against the principle of a veterans "service pension." This he said the bill set up for Spanish American war veterans. He had ob jected also to the provisions restoring 29,000 world war veterans to the rolls at 75 per cent of their former com pensation without review of their cases to determine if the disabilities were of service origin. There was complete silence when Carter Glass, the Virginia democrat who has opposed the money pollc'es of the president, took the floor. Stands by President He declared the president was cor rect in vetoing the bill, and that he had never wavered from the princi ples he thought right In his dealings with the veterans question. Then, his voice trembling, Glass said he had two boys "over there." He added: "I'd disinherit them if they ever accepted a dollar from the govern ment although they wero in the front line trenches." Senator Cutting (R.-N.M.), Senator Robinson (R.-Ind.) and Stelwer (R.-Ore.) led the fight for over-riding the veto. They contended the veter ans' review boards did not deal fairly with veterans, and that the presi dent's action in restoring them to the mils ntrr trier rnvlnw wmilri. linHor av lstiner regulations, mean that thev all I would be stricken off again.
