Senate Likely to Pass Bill Over Protest
Washington June 23 P Senate Republicans in conference failed to settle support for President Hoover against the pending world war veterans pension bill. The measure faced a vote this afternoon under a unanimous consent agreement amid Republican splits. Two substitutes to curb costs and drop prior-illness pensions failed to gain broad support. Reed defended Hoover while noting relief for 300000 veterans under his plan versus 100000 under the Senate bill. Duff, national commander of veterans groups, urged Hoover’s veto stance as fair but health declines shadowed his remarks.
