Substituted Act Aims to Aid 200000 Veterans
In Washington on June 26 the House, led by Speaker Longworth, sustained Hoover's veto of the Johnson Rankin veteran relief bill and passed a substitute providing 50,600,000 in pensions for 200,000 World War I veterans. The measure, 365 to 4, goes to the Senate with plans for quick action and possible broadening to equal Spanish-American War pensions. Senate Democrats seek expansion, while Republicans aim to limit expenditures to the House bill. The House will stay in session until veterans legislation satisfactory to the president is enacted.
