D. R. Overthrow 228 Millions Needed WASHINGTON, March 29, (AP) The adminktra tion pondered without immediate answer today on where to get another $228,000,000 the cost of a surprising overthrow of President Roosevelt's first maj'or veto. "What'll we use for money?" that in effect was the query of government heads after the turbulent capitol scenes that accompanied the break between congress and the chief executive. ' , - There was nos quick reply. Several courses were open. Early speculation had it that either new taxes would be suggested or a deficiency appropriation voted to expand the budget by the needed amount Democratic Leader Pre diets New Measure s to Meet Cost. WASHINGTON, March 29, UP) Representative Byrns, the dem ocratic leader, told newspaper men today It was "entirely possi ble'.' that President Roosevelt would ask new taxes to meet ex penditures caused by 'passage ot the Independent offices bill over his veto. The measure, providing addi tional appropriations for war vet erans and government employes, was enacted Into law last night when the Benate Joined the house in over-riding President Roose velt's wishes. Budget Will Be Exceeded It was estimated by the presi dent In his veto message that the expenditures authorized by the legislation would exceed budget estimates by $228,000,000. "I do not know the president's plans," Byrns added, "but in view ot the position he expressed In his veto message, lt is entirely possible that he will ask congress to provide additional revenue." Tax Bill Chargs It was pointed out, however, that new taxes or Increased rates might be added to the tax bill already passed by . the house and now pending in the senate. Byrns laughed at republican statements that President Roose velt has suffered the "worst de feat in recent years" on tho in-H dependent offices bill. "Why," ho asserted, "only four years ago last June, the house passed 290 to 14 a Spanish war veterans pension bill over Presi dent Hoover's veto. - "President Hoover got only 14 votes; President Roosevelt got 72."

March 29 (IP) President Roosevelt anchored to day off Settlement Point lu the warm waters ot the g"lf stream to begin his vacation with some fishing and swimming.

Now an chored off Sandy Cay, northwest ot Settlement Point. The presi dent expects to spend .the day fishing and having, a swim." ' The latter course alone, without providing new rev enue, would mean swelling the public debt just that much more. The senate's action last night, after seven hoars ot furious de bate, did not cause quite the sur prise engendered when the over whelmingly democratic house, de feated the veto. - By a three-vote margin of (3' to 27, the senate engraved oa the statute books the J8S0.0OO,- . 000 independent office appropri ation bill. i G. O. P. Ranks Solid. In ft were the Increased pay ments tor veterans and govern ment employes which had been the bone of contention. Republicans 33 In all stood In solid phalanx for the bill. They ware Joined by 29 democrats and the lone Farmer-Labor member, Shipstead of Minnesota. AU 27 voting to sustain the president came from the democratic side. Stirring scones accompanied the vote. Opponents of the veto ignored all pleas by the demo cratic leaders that such action might shake confidence in Presi dent. Roosevelt at a time when lt was needed. ' Gallery Tarns Noisy. 'Announcement of the vote by Vice-President Garner brought cheers, shouts and applause from the crowded galleries. Decpite warnings from the chair there . 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 federal employes between now and July 1, part ot lt retro active until February 1. In ad dition to this five per cent re storation of the government pay cut, another five per cent adding another 1126,000,000 will go in to effect July 1. Much of this money will be spent In -the capl- .. tal. F. B. Remains Silent. While official Washington lis tened tor Mr. Roosevelt's answer, it recalled that he had declared the bill went $228,000,000 beyond , his budget estimates with no pro vision as to how this sum would be obtained. In his ' veto message he in volghed chiefly against the prin ciple of a veterans' "service pen sion." This he said the bill sot up for Spanish-American war vet erans. He had objected also to the provisions restoring 29,000 World war veterans to the rolls at 75 per cent of tholr former com pensation without review ot their cases to determine if the disabil ities were of service origin. Observers found much to talk about on the possible political re percussions of the vote. They were trying to decide whether the 29 democrats in the senate and 210 In the house who voted against the president had more to gain by supporting the more liberal vetorans' provisions thai to lose by going against the presi dent at a time whtn confidence in blm was the chief battle cry . ot the administration. ' Elections Will Count. ' Much will be heard on both sides In the coming congressional primaries and elections. There was complete silence when Carter Glass, the Virginia democrat who has opposed tha money policies ot . the president, took .the floor. - He declared tht president was correct In vetoing the bill, and that he bad never wavered from the principles he thought right (Continued on Page Six) I:
