Asked If this meant action before

replied: "we certainly are not clos

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.

of our neighbors." Forrestal said.
"This substitution is proposed on an
approximately equal tonnage basis."
He did not tell exactly what types
of vessels this country proposed to
furnish but said in a statement read

Two years ago today he entered
the navy amputee rehabilitation

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

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."

Sammy? said the nnvy doctor.
"No. sir. It doe.m t. sum tne ooy

And I have confidence. That's the
only way you can do It."
