WASHINGTON, May 23. The effl
eient "Triple A" publicity syatem ap
pears to have slipped a cog some-
There. At least,
In all Its recent
handouts
o f accomplish
ments, tt has
failed to mention
Its greatest the
jonverslon
Senator Smith.
This is said to be
Sue to modesty,
out, IX so. It is
;he first time a
publicity man has
seen accused of
such a deficiency.
t'Al I .MALLON
However, the news should not be
suppressed. Let It be known now
snd forever that. If the farm pro
gram should break down, It may
prove a total loss, as long as the AAA
has won Its severest Democratic
critic.
How It did It Is not exactly clear.
There are several official and unoffi
cial versions. No matter which one
you accept. It will be a tribute to
the political sgclty of the Wallace
Davis regime, which was not sup
posed to know anything about poli
tics. The AAA boys have been working
on Smith for the past 18 months,
unsuccessfully. He Is very Important
to them because he la chairman of
the senate agriculture committee,
which handles their legislation. He
blocked their amendments last ses
sion and helped to hold up their
plans for strengthening their pro
gram. This year, he also assisted In
the strong Democratic congressional
resistance to the same AAA amend
ments. Recently, however, he report
ed them out and now he Is going to
vote for them.
Not only that, but he also coope
erated privately to the extent of let
ting the AAA crowd write the report
which he submitted to the senate In
his own name.
Since the millers, packers and other
processors contesting the amendments
have heard about this, they ire con
fessing sotto voce that their tight Is
lost. A few other Democratic sena
tors will carry on (Byrd. Long. Moore
and perhaps Oeorge). but they can
not be successful without Smith.
The explanation which Smith has
offered to his frienda Is economic. It
Is his view that the foreign market
for cotton Is being lost. As long as
foreign markets are not available,
some domestic price protection pro
gram la essential. He does not care
much about th domestic allotment
plan, but Is willing to accept It re
luctantlv In view of the foreign situ
ation. He knows more about cotton
than anyone else In congress, and his
news are Influential with the power
ful southern segment of the Demo
cratic party.
To appease that whole group, the
AAA has agreed to put the old Mc-Nsry-Haugen
stabilization fee Idea
and the old debenture plan Into the
new amendments. Thc.e old plans

Cash Bonus Bill
WASHINGTON, May 32. (API Representatives Pierce, Democrat, and
Eckwall and Mott. Republicans, of Oregon, voted today to override the
presidents veto of the Patman cash bonus measure.
WASHINGTON, May 22. (AP)
With the atern Roosevelt veto of the
Patman bonus bill already overridden
emphatically by the house, the senate
agreed late today to take It up at 10
o'clock tomorrow under a limitation
of the time for debate.
In defiance of a personal presiden
tial warning that the measure In
vited "greenback" destruction of the
currency, the house voted 332 to 88
to Insist on the Patman bill a scant
gain of four fnr the opposition since
original passage.
The veto was read to the senate
shortly thereafter, although the mem
bership had heard the president de
liver It himself in the house.
Debate Limited
Under the agreement entered Into.
no senator wilt be permitted to speak
more than once or longer than 30
minutes.
In the senate the administration
still was counting on a few votes
margin to sustain the veto.
Denouncing the bill as providing a
"deceptively easy method of pay
ment," the president said It consti
tuted an Invitation to start the
printing presses with ultimate "sky
rocketing prices" and "destruction"
of savings.
Just after he had left tne capitol.
and senators had departed from the
overcrowded chamber, the powerful
bonus forces In the house united for
a last effort on behalf of their pet
before possibly opening a fight for
something less litter.
Compromise Alternalive
Should the senate refuse the two
thirds msjorlty necessary to override,
early work on a compromise partial
bonus payment was expected.
The Roosevelt position today was
construed by some as Indicating he
would not veto a plan whereby veter
ans could cash In their certificates at
current instead of full value.
Although the president quoted an
old speech by him In arguing that
the Patman bill was unfair,, Senator
Borah (R.. Idaho) waa among those
who disputed the argument that full
payment was not now due. "Pay-

FOUR PRESIDENTS
WASHINGTON. May 22. (AP)
President Roosevelt is the fourth
president to veto bonus legislation.
In 1922 President Harding disap
proved a measure which would have
adjusted the war veterans' pay and
also provide vocational training and
other aid. The house voted to over
ride, but not the seriate.
Two years later the bonus, for
which payment now is sought was
paused and vetoed by President Cool
Idge. Congress overrode him.
President Hoover vetoed In 1931
a bill authorizing loans up to 40
per cent of the adjusted certificates'
value. His wishes slso were dlsre-
garded.

OF VETO MESSAGE
WASHINGTON. May 33. (AP)
Praise and criticism of President
Roosevelt's bonus veto message was
Immediately forthcoming today from
members of congress after the chief
executive had addressed congress.
Senator Borah, (R., Ida.) said;
"If the payment of the adjusted
compensation at this time does not
harmonize with the recovery of the
country then it should not be paid.
But I think It does harmonize with
It.
"There will never come a time
when the soldier will need his money
as he does now, and In my opinion
the payment of tt in this way will
not only be helpful to the soldier
but to business throughout the
country."
Later Morah added that he doubt
ed "there la any opening left for a
compromise and X doubt If any
votes will be changed aa the result
of the speech."

leader, said: "All who heard the
