PRICE FIVE CENTS EXECUTIVE 70 USE PORCEFUL LANGUAGE AGAINST INFLATION Advocates of Bill Agree on Quick Vote in Attempt to Over- ride Action DEFINITE TIME NOT SET Dramatic Move by Chief Execu- tive Without Precedent; Worries Patmanites belief Saturday that President Roose- velt would set forth his views on cur- rency inflation when he shatters precedent by reading his veto of the Patman bonus bill to congress next week. One objection raised against the $2,200,000,000 new currency bill in ad- ministration quarters has been that the value of currency inflation is questionable. Just what language the president will choose to deal with the new money aspect of the bonus issue was a question of much interest in the capital. WILL BROADCAST MESSAGE New York, May 18.—(?)— The they will broadcast the president’s personal veto message to congress on the Patman bonus bill over nationwide networks. Their announcements said they have set a tentative time for the broadcast between 1 and 2 Friday that he would house of representatives seemed to create gloom among the friends of the Patman measure. Some acknowledged privately that they had insufficient votes to override a veto. Democratic leaders in congress pre- dicted that the personal delivery of the veto message—an action without precedent so far as a hasty search- ing of records showed—would assure that the president’s stand against the measure would be sustained, though even before his announce- ment they had declared they had the Necessary votes in the senate. Message Probable Monday Congressional leaders, who obvious- ly had not expected such a dramatic move, were hastening preparations Saturday for a joint session of the house and senate, before which the president will make his appearance, probably Monday. It will be necessary for the senate and house to pass a joint resolution for the two bodies to meet in the house chamber. Speaker Byrns et- pressed the hope that late Monday or Wednesday would be agreeable to the president. Advocates of the bill agreed Satu day to vote immediately, without der bate, on whether to override the president’s veto after he delivers his message. At the same time they con: ceded they did not have the votes to, sccomplish this end but still express- ed hope of a swing that would put the’ Inflationary measure over despite the|tte trumpeters. president’s objections.

If the veto is over-ridden, it will then go to the senate, where Thomas said shey would be ready for @ vote, without debate, provided all their supporters were on hand. ‘The president was finishing up the task of writing his veto message Sat- urday. He had said he would have \t done before departing for a week- end cruise down the Potomac on the government yacht Sequoia. He emphasized three points: 1, That he would veto the bill. 2. That the Janguage would be us strong as possible. 3. ‘That he hoped it would be sus- tained. The last point was stressed more than once, as if in reply to rumors that the administration was indif- ferent about the fate of the bill af- ter it was vetoed. MES. ROCKEFELLER DIE Greenwich, Conn.
