Roosevelt loses grip as Congress passes veterans pay bill
Senate 68 27 and House 310 72 approve the independence offices appropriations bill with veterans pay and pensions restored. Cost rises by 210 million annually plus 84 million in mandatory awards, shifting tax burden and signaling waning presidential influence in Congress. Roosevelt departs for a short vacation aboard Vincent Astor's yacht amid tensions. The administration seeks tougher stock exchange controls and a broader, council style industry relations framework.
