Leaders Hope Compromise on Veterans Outlay Proposal
Washington reports Democratic leaders grow more hopeful that Roosevelt’s compromise on veterans outlay will pass the house and that the independent offices supply bill will go to conference. An executive order cutting regulations is seen as reducing the revolt from senate to house but opposition remains over excluding certain disability cases. Douglas says the compromise could avoid new taxes, while a $170,000,000 increase would likely trigger a presidential veto if taxes are not raised.
