Veterans compensation bill sails through House amid noisy debate
The House sent the Johnson Hankin veterans compensation bill to the Senate after a stormy eight hour session. It extends disability payment eligibility to January 1 19 and raises total compensation to 260 dollars for total disability with eight dollars monthly during hospital care. President Hoover faced predictions of a veto due to federal budget concerns, while opponents sought to block a provision tying payments to the veterans bureau. The vote was 324 to 49 with factions split along party lines.
