referred senators and representative
"respectfully ... to every word of
whet I said" tn last year'i veto of
s currency -iixpsnslon bonua pay
Bent bill.
"My convictions are aa Impelling
today aa they were then," the presi
dent aald. "Therefore I can not
chance them."
Mr. Roosevelt added:
"The bill I now return dlffera
from last year"a bill In only two Im
portant reaped : First, It eliminate
tbm Issuance of unsecured paper
currency to make the payments re
quired and aubstltutea Interest bear
ing bonds, which, however, may be
converted Into cash for face value
at any time; second, It adds $263,
000,000 to the total payments by
forgiving Interest after October 1,
IBM, on amounts borrowed,
racts Remain Same.
"In all other respects, the cir
cumstances, arguments and facta re
main essentially the same as those
fully covered and explained by me
enly eight months ago."
Indicative of the determination on
capltol hill to make the bill law,
despite the veto was the comment
of Senator Clark D Mo.) one of
the authors:
"We'll pass It over his veto."
One pertinent phrase from last
year'a veto measure which Mr.
Ilooaevelt evidently had In mind to
day waa:
The credit of the United States
it safe, but It can not ultimately
be safe If we engage In a policy of
viiiitrur fen each and all of the
groups that are able to enforce
upon the oongreaa ciaima ior speti"
conalderatlon."
Written In Longhand.
White House aides aald Mr. Roose
velt broke precedent of a quarter or
century and sent his message to
Capitol Hill In his own handwriting.
Up to the time of the adminis
tration of Theodore Roosevelt all
messages to congress were written
in longhand. But none has gone to
the capltol In longhand since then.
While the veto did not come aa
ft surprise, the manner of Its sudden
transmission to congress today upset
come calculations.
' larller In the day at press con
ference, Mr. Roosevelt had smilingly
declined to discuss the bonus.
The senate last yesr upheld the
Veto after the house had overridden
the personally presented plea of the
president against the legislation.

Judg who oompllmentesd Ann Cooper
Hewitt oa her beaiinp as a witness
debated todsj whether he should la-
cue criminal complaints against these
involved In her bizarre sterilization.
For almost an how, the 21-year-
old heiress, rated at only 11 years
mentally by a city psychologist, an
swered questions concerning the op
eration which resulted In her filing
600,000 dam 47 suit against her
mother and two doctors.
The girl replied with an emphatic
'most certainly not" when asked If
she would bavu given her consent
to the operation If asked for It. She
said she was led to believe It was
to be an appendectomy.
Wonderful Witness.
'You are a wonderful witness," said
Municipal Ji'dge Sylvian J. Lazarus
at the close of the unique hearing.
"It Isn't often we have people here
who testify as clearly and as Intelli
gently as y-,u have."
The hearing, ottlled under a rarely
used California law, was to deter
mine whether crtmlnaj charges should
be filed against Mrs. Maryon Hewitt
McCarter, ttio girl's mother; Samuel
O. Boyd, wi-'o performed the opera
tion August 18, 1934, and Dr. Til ton
E. Tillman, diagnostician In the oaae.
Miss Hewitt's attorney would not
let tier sign mayhem complaints, and
the district attorney would not Issue
them without her signature, so the
matter was put up to the court by
the prosecutor.
Judge Lazarus said he would an
nounce his fteclslon next Tuesday.
Miss Hew'tt, daughter of the late
Inventor, Peter Cooper Hewitt, charg
ed her mother engineered the opera
tion so she could forever control the
Cooper fortune because the daughter
would be childless. The estate has
been estimated to total all the way
from 1.3000,000 to 10.000,000.
No Defense Testimony. '
Testimony at the criminal court
hearing was all on Miss Hewitt's side.
Judge Lamm announced he would
not permit testimony by the three
aoouaed persons, although they might
submit affidavits If they wished.
Miss Hewitt, a tiny figure In the
witness chair, to'd how she had suf
fered severe abdominal pains which
led to an examination by Dr. Tillman.
"He looked at me and said oe
guessed I should have mv appendix
removed," sis said In Tea pons to
questions of Assistant Prosecutor Au
gust Fourtner.
"At no tune did either Dr. Tillman
or Dr. Boyd take my temperature, feel
my pulsa or take a blood count.
Miss Hewitt testified she was ex
maned by th psychologist, Mrs. Mary
Scally, who represented herself ss a
nurse.
"Did she announce she was giving
you a mental test?" Fourtner asked.
"No. i But 1 asked her why she waa
asking me so m&n; asinine questions,
particularly when I wins In such
pain"
The girl the, told how she had
corrected Mrs. -Scally In pronuncia
tion of a word In French, a language
which the helre.is speaks fluently.
- Cot llrr Points.
"Never dlsnute psychiatrist," re
marked Jucige La rams. "She prob
ably marked you down a couple of
points for that."
Anne B. Lindsay a nurse who at
tended Miss Hewitt, said Dr. Boyd
had asked her to take the case two
days before ihe operation, Indicating
It would involve a moron.
