Washington Battles Over World War Pension Bill Crisis
In Washington on June 27 the Senate faced a crisis as Congress argued over a limited World War pension act after President Hoover vetoed a liberal measure. Administration leaders pressed to keep Congress in session until a new bill passes, with House approval already clear and Senate delays possible. The administration’s plan envisions a lower tier of pensions and a $50 million annual cost, replacing the higher benefits of the vetoed bill. Lawmakers and veterans groups weighed competing proposals, including the American Legion plan, as final action loomed.
