Senate Blocks Patman Bonus Bill Amid Veto Fight
Washington May 23 The Senate blocked enactment of the Patman bonus bill by an 40 to 45 vote after a roll call showing eleven Republicans with 41 Democrats and two minor party members opposed to overriding the president. The veto was sustained by 28 Democrats and 12 Republicans as House action opened a new drive to pay the bonus via naval appropriations or Public Works funds. Commander Van Zandt called the move a cruel blow to veterans while predicting victory this session.
