Washington March 230 Congress over rode President Roosevelt on restoration of the federal pay cut but he must decide on his own pay. Tomorrow the treasury will send a $6,250 check to the White House as one month of the $75,000 annual salary. In prior months Roosevelt voluntary returned 15 percent or $837.50. If he takes 5 percent back, he would receive $625, but he is vacationing off the Florida coast and likely not worried about it.
