Coolidge Vetoes Farm Relief Bill Amid Senate Clash
President Coolidge vetoed the McNary-Haugen farm relief bill citing unconstitutionality and harmful features. Congress may re pass without the equalization fee or override the veto, with a high two thirds vote needed in both houses. The veto heightens farm policy debate ahead of presidential conventions with Lowden, Dawes, Curtis, and Hoover supporters noted. The Senate campaign funds panel also heard new testimony about anti Hoover financing from Frank J Hale of Politics magazine.

Nobile Plans Pole Studies If Weather Permits
General Nobile travels with scientists to study temperatures winds climate and magnetic variations on a planned Arctic expedition. He previously crossed to the pole in 1926 aboard the Norge with Ellsworth and Amundsen but had little time for research. If landing is feasible he will deploy several team members and plant or drop a papal cross at the pole. Weather was favorable as Italia begins its north polar voyage toward latitude 83 with a path to the pole.
