Senate Over-rides President’s Veto
(Rec. 2 p.m.) NEW YORK, Feb. 25. The United States Senate today overrode by 72 votes to li President Roosevelt’s veto of the Tax Bill, states a Washington message. The ccsitroversial' 2,315,000,000 dollar tax bill thus becomes law. Senator Barkley adhered to his announced intention to vote against the measure which is the first tax bill ever to receive the Presidential veto. Effects on Election * Political experts agree that Senator Barkley has emerged from the crisis with increased stature and prestige-, says the Associated Press. Some antifourth term democrats suggested Senator Earkley as a possible Presidential nominee. On the other hand, some believe that the net result would be a “clearing of the atmosphere” in the relations between Congress and White House with little effect on the President’s chances for nomination.
Senator Barkley's re-election to majority leadership creates a unique situation inasmuch as he has broken openly with the leader of his party. Senator Barkley sent a letter to President Roosevelt expressing a fervent hope that the dispute over the Tax Bill veto would bring the legislative and executive branches of the Government closer together.
