U.S. BILL VETOED.
Mandatory Deportation Of
Undesirables.
AMPLE AUTHORITY ALREADY
(Received 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON*, April 8. President Roosevelt vetoed a bill providing for the mandatory deportation of saboteurs, spies and drug addicts on the grounds that it is unnecessary and would probably result in hardship. He pointed out that there was ample authority for deporting undesirables. Moreover he had just signed a bill drastically increasing penalties for spying and sabotage. He added that addiction to drugs was a lamentable disease and not a crime.
