Queen r M Override Move Falls Short By Just Two Votes WASHINGTON, Jun. 17 (AP) The hou$ today upheld President Truman's veto of the) $4,000,000,000 tax reduction bill, thuf killing it finally and completely. . The voto wai 268 to pass tha bill over tho veto and 137 against. Thus it wag two votes short of the two-thirdg majority necessary to post a law over the president's ditapproval. When .that count turned up on the roll -call. Republican Leader Halleck of Indiana demanded and obtained a recount, but no votes were changed. Voting to override the veto wera 233 republicans and 35 democrats. Supporting the president were 134 democrats, two re publicans Carl Andersen of Minnesota and Hull of Wis consinand the American labor member, Marcantonio of New York. t Applause broke out on the democratic side as the vott was announced. ' The house action means the senate will not even vote on the issue of overriding the veto. It means, too, that republicans have, an Issue they already have made clear will figure prominently In the 1948 presidential compalgn. Before the vote. Speaker Martin had declared that If Uie senate or house upheld the veto It would, mean no new attempt this year to reduce taxes. -Last Say" "This Is the last say on taxes this year," he said. "Apparently Uie democrats have little Interest In cutting 'expenditures and reduc ing taxes. "We may have to wait until we get a republican president before we get tax reduction."

Senator Taft (R-Ohio), co-author of the labor bill now awaiting action by the president, contended in a statement that, the tax bill veto "violates the spirit of the con stitution." "Congress should always have the power of the purse strings," the Ohio republican declared. While the veto probably ended any chance of tax reduction In 1947. the pattern for 1948 political battling was set by Carroll Reece, chairman of the republican na tional committee. "Mr. Truman," Reece said, "has committed his administration to continued support of the 'tax and tax and spend and spend and elect and elect' philosophy of the now discredited neaw deal. This philos ophy was repudiated by the Amer ican people last November, and I am confident it will be repudiated again and even more emphatically in 1948." ' .
