SENATE OVER RIDES VETO

PRESIDENT REBUKED.

. ..TWO BILLS MARE LAW LITTLE SUPPORT FOR COOLIDGE. 1; ii^VpPQMUJ United Press Assn. —By Electric Telegraph Copyright. (Received 10.15 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 24. President Coolidge received the most decisive Congressional rebuke of his whole administration to-day when the Senate, in little more than an hour, overwhelmingly over-rode his veto on four Bills.

First it passed the two vetoed Postal Bills, making them law, then it passed an Indian Lands Bill and an Emergency Officers’ Retirement Bill. The last two measures must still be acted upon by the House of Representatives, This is the first time Congress has failed to heed Mr Coolidge’s veto, with the exception of the case of the Soldiers’ Bonus Bill. Only few Republican regulars supported the President in voting.Australian Press Assn.
