Copyright, 1038. by Paul Mallon

i swept this section that Al Smith will

In upper New
York state and

O n t of Ai's
closest friends
here says, off the
record :
"Advance pub

live up to expec
tations. But Al has pulled very few
punches In hla life.
"His speech will burn his Roose
velt bridges behind him with gaso
line." . You can mark It down In your hat
that the republican delegation from
Massachusetts will be unpledged. The
most eminent authorities here have
passed word down the line to that
affect. There seems to be no dis
agreement. But this Is one spot where an un
lnatructed delegation will not bo cov
ertly for Hoover. The boys have de
cided that emphatically also.
Behind these unpledged republi
can prospects you will find the es
sential hidden weakness of the repub
licans, which Is not confined to New
England.
It Is that there Is no outstanding
leadership personality offering a popu
lar focal rallying point.
The leaders around here like Gov
emor Landon ofKansas, but there Is
little or no leadership functioning tor
him on the inside. It was all fixed
sdme months ago for Ted Clark, con
fidential adviser of President Cool
Id ge, to coma Into New England and
set up a Landon bandwagon for the
boys to climb on. Clark died before
to could do It.
Colonel Knox Is also relished here
abouts. He Is a New Englander by
birth and experience and probably
will have a fair bulk of the delegates
from this section.
Mr. Hoover Is personally admired
by the party leaders, but generally
considered Impossible as a candidate.
While opposition to the New Deal
Is firm and widespread, It Just can
not get around to congealing Into
enthusiasm behind any one opposi
tion man.

BRIEF MESSAGE
OF DISAPPROVAL
Bill Goes to Senate After
324-61 Vote to Reverse
President Expect Upper
Chamber Action Monday
WASHINGTON, Jan. 34. (AP) A
heavily Democratic house voted 324
to 61 to override President Roose
velt's veto of the (3,491,000,000
bonus bill, !
Only a' two-thirds majority was
needed.
Prom the cheering representatives,
who refused to delay the ballot even
a day, the bill goes to the senate
where a vote Is not possible until
Monday.
There, too, leaders forecast the
bill will be made law over President
Roosevelt's opposition. Senator Clark
(D., Mo.) an author of the measure,
predicted not more than 20 votes
would be cast to sustain the veto
as against the 33 needed.
Second Reversal.
It was the second time In a year
the house had tossed aside a presi
dential bonus veto. The vote to
sustain the veto today was only two
greater than that cast against the
bill's original passage.
Members barely awaited to hear
the reading of the brief, handwrit
ten veto message before demands
of "vote, vote" were shouted on the
floor.
Democratic leaders sought to de
lay the ballot until Monday, but
were voted down. 180 to 131.
The senate does not meet until
Monday so final action was delayed
over the week-end. Leaders there
predicted the senators would Join
the representatives and make the
$2,491,000 ,000 bill law oyer the presi
dent's opposition. '
Note Brenks Precedent.
Mr. Roosevelt's handwritten mes
sage, returning the bonus bill "with
out my approval," broke precedent
of a quarter of a century.
But Senator Harrison (D., Miss.,)
chairman of the finance committee
and an administration stalwart, said:
"It Is my opinion thst the veto
wilt not be sustained. I shall vote
to override the veto."

DETAILS SECRET
WASHINGTON, Jan. 34. (AP) A
senate agriculture subcommittee of
five Democrats today unanimously
agreed on a revised farm bill to re
place the AAA, but members were
bound to secrecy on Its detslls for
the time being.
This action was announcod shortly
after President Roosevelt set to mak
ing agriculture "as productive aa It
was 100 years ago" as the New Deal's
goal and expressed a hope It could be
done wlthtn the constitution.
Secretary Wallace, who dropped In
on the group aa It went over amend
ments drafted overnight, cam out
smiling and told reporters:
"Everybody's happy," .
He added that thla meant the five
membera of the sub-committee, him
self and Chester C. Davis, farm ad
ministrator. '
Davis appeared before the group
after first . undergoing examination
before the full house agriculture
committee.
Chairman Smith (D., 8. C.) of the
senate aub-oommlttee, who revolted
against the original drsft and stated
flatly he would not support a new
bill "until It conforms to the consti
tution," made thla brief announce
ment:
"We have agreed upon a bill and
until the chairman can confer with
the chairman of the house committee
no statement will be given."
Senator Pop (D., Idaho) said be
and other members, Including Sens-
tors Murphy D Iowa), Bankhesd
(D., Ala) and Hatch (D., N. M.), were
"bound hard and fast on details of
the agreement for the time being."
Wallace earlier told newsmen:
"The soil conservation thing Is very
fundamental and important.
"In fact," he added, "you can say
that la the principal thing presented
before the committee."
