June 22, and the first heat President Starts Work On Message WAHHINOTOff, June 18 fP) President Harry 8. Truman decided today to forego his weellv newa eonferenee to work on a message to congress on the labor union control Dill. Mr. Truman will send a message to congress Friday, regardlraa of whether he slgna or vetoes the bill. Eben Ayers, assistant press secre tary, said s heavy volume of mall continued to pour Into the Whits House concerning' the leglslaUon with " heavy majority favoring veto." Ayera aald the volume of communications about the measure Is by far the greatest ever received by Mr. Truman on any single legis lative Issue or other controversy. Top democratic and republican leaders have predicted that the house will vote to override In event the president decides to veto the legislation. But they were uncertain of Uie outcome In the senate. Huge Letter Pile Ayers estimated that 157,000 to 158.000 letters, more than 500(000 cards and 25,000 telegrams had been received through Monday. Ayera said one pile of letters In the White House mall room Is "larger than a cord of wood," meas- unrig 12 feet long, five feet high and four feet wide. He aald around 10,000 letters a day still are coming from Indi vidual, groups and organizations. He did not estimate the percentage favoring a veto other than to say Uie majority was "heavy." nouse lenders definitely expect a veto even though President Truman told reporters at Princeton, N. J., yesterday, "I haven't made up my mind yet" He said he will send a message to congress Friday. Vets Might Cash Bonds WASHINGTON.

Martin said that congress could us "savings" obtained by cutting President - Truman's spending bud- "'"' get to cash any bonds at this Ume. and in that way help redue the national debt. . The speaker suggested any legls laUon would be permissive to allow veterans who wished to do so to retain their bonds. He said also the j government could save money by ' immediate cash payment - since It can borrow money cheaper than the two and one-half per cent rate be ing paid on Uie terminal leave bonds. i Under present law the bonds.
