Senate votes kill veterans bonus bill at Capitol
Thousands of veterans watching at the Capitol saw the Patman measure die under a 62 to 18 Senate vote. Only 10 Democrats, seven Republicans and one Farmer-Labor senator supported the bill. The Senate then tabled a motion to reconsider, blocking Hoover from vetoing the bill if it reached him. Crowds dispersed after the defeat, while others sang war songs at Anacostia encampment.
