EXPECT VETO FOR TAX Bul
Washington foresees a veto of the revenue bill as the bonus measure faces further congressional conferrees. Administration aides say enacting the bonus would require disapproval of the tax cut by President Coolidge. Secretary Melton previously warned the tax cut would be impossible if the bonus passes. Coolidge’s veto message stressed government economy impacts. Conference leaders finish first week with early agreement expected. House Democrats likely back the Senate plan while Jenkine opposes the Longworth compromise.
