Asked If this meant action before congress adjourns in July, Martin replied: "we certainly are not clos ing the door to that.'' He added: Changed Minda "Since the tax veto was sustained last Tuesday a lot of democrat who voted to sustain have come to me and said tlicy were sorry that Uiey have changed their minds. We are sure we have the two-thirds in the house. It's entirely up to the senate. To this House Democratic Leader Rayburn (Texas) responded: "The republicans say they will bring the bill up if they are sure oi me two-thirds votes in tne nouse and senate to override another veto. It can't be done in the house or senate." An Informal poll was under way among- senators to determine whether enough support could be corralled. George, senate tax manager when the democrats controlled congress, told reporters he would support the new bill if it comes up "with much more confidence than the previous bill." The Georgian voted for the previous legislation but said he would support the president's veto If it came to a test in the senate. The house, however, upheld the veto by a two-vote margin, 268 to 137. Mack Sworn In Today WASHINGTON. June S5 UP Rus sell V.

Two years ago today he entered the navy amputee rehabilitation hospital Iter to learn how to walk again, lies still In the hospital. and he's still trying to learn how to get around on Ills new "store legs. Veterans who lost both legs be low the knee can't graduate from tne amputee training center until they can stroll away on their arti ficial underpinning without uslnr a cane. I guess I won't be Quite able to do that," said gummy. He's what the doctors call "a bilateral A. K. case." That's medical shorthand for a man who has tost both legs above the knee. He has a rougher problem. tsnmmy aoean t know for sure Just what happened to him. He was 18 years old when he joined the marines at Smyrna, Oa. Ho was IS when he landed on Okinawa, where he fought as a rifleman for 45 days. Happened on Sugar Loaf "I wai. going up Sugar Loaf hill one morning." he said. "You re member Sugar Loaf hill? I guess everybody remembers that one. All of a sudden I went down. I don't know whether I stepiwd on a mine or a mortar got me. Everything was hasy and I hurt all over. 1 guess 1 11 never know." But his right leg was aone. and six days later navy doctors had to uu on me snattered lert limb. The bones became infMliMi Hm had to undergo four more opera tions. Healing was slow as the months went by. But Sammy still retained the tough-tnlndrd attitude the marine corps Instills in its young men. He never gave way to self-pity. To pass the time he fixed up a shop- with another amputee and they began repairing the hos- piuti wneei cnairs. 1 used to do bicycle reDalrlns in Smyrna." Sammv said. "I don't know whether I want to take up that again when I leave here or becJuie an auto mechanic." When the bone Infection cleared up, Sammy had only four-inch stumps left. They were so short they came right out of the buckets when I tried to walk." he said. The buckets" are the apertures of arti ficial legs into which the stumps lit. "With stumps as short as yours every Inch counts," said a navy doctor. "They aura do," agreed Sammy. He looked ruefully down at the denim pants trailing awny In limp emptiness from his muscular young till. 10, New Type Found ' But the amputee center later de veloped a suction type "bucket" and Sammy has had better luck with artificial legs equipped, with It. "I've been practicing with the new suction buckets since last Murch," he said. "I ran drive a car and I'm walking a lot better. I practice an hour every morning and an hour and half In the evening. "I can walk ten feel between the parallel bnrs without holding it. The lnngr.it I've hnd my legs on lately Is three hours. I have to be able to keep them on eight hours before I leave." He also will have to show he ran get up If he falls, climb up and down stairs, arid walk, llul since his legs were lost above the knee ho will be permitted to use a cane to keep his balance in ruse anyone bumps Into him. "I've only been on my legs four or five months," Sammy said. "And it lakes six to eight mouths." it doesn't come in a nay, noes it, Sammy? said the nnvy doctor. "No. sir.
