MR COOLIDGE REBUKED
HIS VETO UNHEEDED, SENATE PASSES FOUR BILLS,' AN OVERWHELMING DECISION. (By Telegraph.—Press Assn.--Copyright.) (Australian Press Association). (Received May 25, 10.15 a.m.) WASHINGTON, May 24. The President, Mr Coolidge, received the most decisive Congressional rebuke -of his whole administration today, when the Senate in a little more than an hour overwhelmingly overrode ids veto on four Bills. First it passed two vetoed Postal Bills, making them law; then it passed an Indian Lands Bill and an Emergency Officers Retirement Bill. Tiie last two measures must still be acted upon by the House. This is the first time Congress has, failed to heed Mr Coolidge’s veto, with the exception of the Soldiers’ Bonus Bill.
Only a few Republican regulars supported the President.
