GARNER TO SIGN BILL AND SEND IT ON WAY Two-third Vote Lacking to Over- ride Hoover Decision—Democrats Face Compromise Necessity. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. President Hoover's veto of the $2,122,- 000,000 relief bill, finally agreed to by both houses of Congress and carrying the provision for Government loans to private individuals, is ready. As soon as the President shall have received the measure from Congress, it is expected he will return it to the House, where it originated, without ‘his approval and with a message giving his Teasons. Unless members of Congress are in error, the President will include in his veto message recommendations for a relief bill which he can approve. Such a bill would be minus the private loan provision for which*Speaker Gar- ner has fought, but in the main would be similar to the bill which he plans to veto. Because the House was not in ses- sion yesterday the relief bill could not be signed by Speaker Garmer. The Speaker, however, will affix his signa- ture to the measure as soon as that | body meets at noon tomorrow and the bill go then to the President. Two-Thirds Lacking. ‘When the measure comes back from the White House, an effort will be made in the House to pass it over the veto, it was indicated last night by Majority Leader Rainey. However, it will be im- possible to obtain the necessary two- thirds vote to put it through. Even if there were sutficient votes in the House to pass the bill over the veto the Sesnate would sustain the| President, as indicated by the vote in that body yesterday when the confer- ence report was adopted by a vote of 43 to 31. Some of the Republican Senators who voted for the conference | report yesterday would not vote o over- ride a presidential veto. Those votes were cast merely to expedite consider- ation of the bill and to prevent a long deadlock between the two houses over the measure threatened by Speaker Garner if the Senate turned down the conference report. In the opinion of Mr. Rainey, the House Ways and Means Co will be called together immediately and will bring out a rellef bill which will meset the objections of ths President and that measure will be speedily placed upon its passage. The Presi- dent’s views are well understood by the House leaders, and will b: explained fully in his velo mestage, too. The Senate Democrats went down the line for Speaker Garner yesterday | when they voted for the conference| report on the bill. Only five Demo- cratic Senators voted against the re- port, although many of those who sup- ported it are known to b2 hostile to the provision for loans to private indi- viduals on which Mr. Garner has made his fight. Hoped to Speed Action. These Democratic Senators were anxious not to put the Speaker in an embarrassing position, since he is the vice presidential candidate for their party. Also they were desirous of put- ting an end to the long, drawn-out controversy over the rel'ef bill and pe- lleved thet by sending the messwye to the President. even for a veto, it weuld, be roseible to bring ebout quicker leg- 1si-tio Here and there were Democrats in | the Senate and Houss who declared | they were willing to leave relief Jegis- lation on the doorstep of the President; willing to seek to place the blame for failure of the measure on the Presi- dent. But the great majority of the Democrats as well as of the Republicans do not relish the idea of adjourning Congress without putting through a relief bill. They fear the voters might place the blame on Speaker Garner and the House Democrats.

July 9.— Smith Reynolds' widow and his life- long chum, Albert Walker, were taken into custody today as material witnesses for a coroner's jury investigating the death of the young heir to the Reynolds tobacco millions. Blanche Yurka, New York actress and close friend of Mrs. Reynolds, the for- mer Libby Holman, popular Broadway torch singer, was directed to hold her- self at the call of the court of inquest, which was adjourned until 1 p.m. Mon- day, after a four-hour secret session today.

He said: “On the question of war debts owing | to the United States by European gov- ernments there is no change in the attitude of the American Government.” Mr. Castle specifically referred to ihe following language of President Hoover in announcing the arrangement by which this Government deferred the 1932 installments on the war debt ac- count: “Our Government has not been a party to, or exerted. any voice in de- termination of reparation obligations. purposely did not participate in either general reparations or the di- vision of colonies or property.
