Roosevelt Hints Likely Veto Of Baby Bond Bonus Bill
President Roosevelt may veto the Baby Bond Bonus bill now on his desk after Congress passed it 348 to 59 in the House and 74 to 16 in the Senate. Lawmakers expect passage over a veto and debate whether new taxes will finance payments to veterans. Estimates place the cost up to about 2.5 billion dollars with rapid cash demands possible after June 15. The President has ten days to act and has sent the measure to the Veterans Administration for review, delaying a decision for several days.
