House Opposes Higher War Veterans Allowances Move
The House refused to join the Senate in voting higher allowances for war veterans than the administration desires. A Roosevelt promise depended on the Senate’s larger figures. The House backed 228 to 164 for restoring only ten percent of the cut federal pay by July 1, not the 15 percent Senate vote. The next step lies with the Senate. If disagreeing, a joint committee would seek a compromise.
