Of the triangle duubhfle money, $2,680,000 was carried in the Treasury- Post Office appropriation act, to which $7.000,000 was added in the second de- ficlency act.

'CAPITOL-WHITE HOUSE SPLIT |Congress Overrides G WIDEST BREACH IN 42 YEARS ;gl'idg57Veto on Half of Measures Brought to Vote for chassagc. By the Awmociated Pres The closing days of the first session of the Seventieth Congress were enliv- ened by the widest breach that has de- veloped belween the Capitol and the White House since the break in the first | Cleveland sdministration which added an unrivaled chapter to American po- | litical life. As was the case 42 years ago, when Grover Cleveland turned back to Con- gress 116 bills without his signature, | the guif this year had its source in the constitutional power of the President to veto the work of the legislative estab- | Although the Cleveland record bids fair to stand the test of time, Mr. Cool idge set s modern record of disapprov ing 13 bills, Congress on its part like- wise_set s modern mark in overriding the President on three of the six which | were brought to a vote for repassage, which required & two-thirds majority. Senate Overrides Four Vetoes. Out of the veto-voting skirmish in both houses, the President thus emerged with & 50-50 average, but his record with the Senate alone was not so good. | That chamber, in an unprecedented | flurry, in one day overrode the Presi- dent four times and failed on a fifth attempt by only a handful of votes. The victory of the greatest impor- tance, however, went to Mr. Coolidge. ‘That was on the McNary-Haugen fann relief bill, which Congress passed in the face of & warning that a veto was ils fate, With its second velo in as many years, hinged principally upon its equai- ization fee provisions, the bill went back to the Senate, where on its original pas- sage it won the support of more than two-thirds of those voting. On the final showdown after the veto that proportlon of strength dwindled and the lack of four votes transferred the subject of farm relief from s legis- lative to & solely political status. Postal Bills Repassed. Of the 13 bills vetoed. the farm measure was the only one of wide- spread interest. One other bill that stirred up considerable sentiment, and | which successfully repassed both houses, was the Tyson-Filzgerald measure to give retirement pay to disabled emer- gency World War officers, ‘Two other bills enscted into law over the President’s objection concerned postal employes, one providing increased pay for night workers and the other giving allowances to fourth-class post- masters for rent, fuel and light. On two other measures Congress made a final effort to write them into law despite Mr, Coolidge's wishes. One, the Oddle bill to authorize an appro- priation of $10,500,000 for road con- struction on the public domain in 11 Western States, succeeded in repassing the Senate, but was stopped in the House, which gave the President a ma- Jority vote of support. The other bill, proposing creation of the rank of bandmaster in the Army, died in the Senate {tself, but only by & narrow margin of votes, All of the remalning seven veloed bills were referred back to respective committees, in whose privgte legisiative graveyards they now repose. i Congress to hold its next gathering in | the United States, the understanding | being that the meetings would be held | in Washington. | Author the Gray Ladies of the | Red Cross erect 3 non-sectarian chapel st Walter Reed Hospital.

During that 30 year period the fund will be supported on & 50-50 basis between the Government and the employes, After that date the workers will continue to pay 3!, per cent of their salaries, while the Govern-~ ment’s contribution will be about one~ half of one per cent of the pay roll. ‘The Police Woman's Bureau bill is on the calendar in both House and Senate, but is doomed to go over for consider- ation in the next session of Congress, This legislation seeks 1o give legal status with increased recognition and a larger rsonuel o this branch of the Police | partment, ‘The “diploms mill bill,” to clean up &n international scandsl here, is an- other measure that is generally favored, but which will have to wait until the next session for final action.

Many Buildings Approved. Hardly had the session convened in December before the House in short order had set the ball rolling by ap- proving a deficlency appropriation bill carrying funds to start construction of Federal bulldings in upward of several dozen citles scattered throughout the length and breadth of the country. Closely on the heels of this measure the two houses put through a bill in- | creasing by $125,000,000 the authoriza- tion of $165,000.000 approved & year ago for new public buildings construc- tion. The second deficiency supply measure carried additional funds to continue the work previously started and also initiate new construction at other points, In extending the life of the Federal Radio Commission Congress also ap- proved another plece of legislation which had far-reaching appeal, while the number of bills enacted to provide for the construction of new bridges over the Nation's many rivers exceeded by far the number in recent years. Big Bills Passed. ‘Two big problems of both national |and regional scope—Boulder Canyon Dam and Muscle Shoals—also were tackled. ‘The House approved the Boulder measure by a substantial vote, while for days the problem constituted the unfinished business of the Senate. Both houses approved the Norris-Morin resolution for Government operation of the Shoals properties. Included among other big regional pieces of legislation were the Columbia River Basin survey in the Pacific North- west, the cotton pink boll worm eradi- cation in seven Texas tounties, the corn- borer clean-up in the Lake area of the Middle West. a two-vear authorization of 375,000,000 annually for Federal aid to_States in road construction and an- other two-vear authorization of $7,500, 000 annually for Federal road construc- | ]nund,in national parks and on forest ands. | Other Measures. Besides these, other measures ap-| proved included the Rogers bill to au- thorize an appropriation of $15,000,000 | for new Veterans' Bureau hospital fa- | cilities, two Army houllns bills provid- | ing for mew barracks and other build- ings at posts in continental United States and the territorial possessions, | and Crisp bill to establish a model sci- | entific farm in each of the Southern | States. | Other bills of local interest included | & bill to furnish fourth-class postmas- | ters with allowances for light, fuel and rent; upward of two dozen measures to provide funds for erection of memorials | to commemorate historic events, the gram for establishing fish hatcheries in 31 States and the McSweeney bill Jook- ing to the reforestation of lands throughout the country. ARMY PILOT HURT. Lieut, Julian Dexter Cracks Up at Boston Starting Flight Here. Lieut. Julian Dexter, Army Air Corps reserve officer on active duty at Bolling School, was painfully injured at Boston yesterday afternoon, when his pursuit plane crashed as he taking off for Washington, according to advices re- ceived at the Army base here. Lieut. Dexter left Washington Saturday on detached service for a flight to Boston. ‘The pilot's injuries, cuts and bruises, were confined to the head and face. The plane was badly damaged.
