POCKET VETO CASE
BEFORE HIGH COURT
indians Seek Decision on Va.
Iidity of Presidents Kill.
ing Measure.
BY the Associated Press.

The validity of the pocket veto of
bills by the President should be passed
on by the Supreme Court, the Govern
ment contended yesterday in filing
brief asking review Of a case brought
by the Okanogan, Colville and other
tribes of Indians challenging the con-
stitutionality Of a pocket veto.
In view of this request 1t Is the
opinion Of a number at the Capitol
that the highest tribunal will pass
on this important question which has
never before received its attention.
Should 1t do so, its decision will have
a direct bearing on the Muscle Shoals
bill which was in the hands Of the
President when Congress adjourned
last session and which received neither
his approval nor veto.
The bill on which the Government
asked that the court pass upon was one
to authorize the Indians to bring suit
in the Court of Claims for the value of
certain lands which the Government
was alleged to have taken without COM
pensation. The bill was sent to the
President for his consideration on June
"a. 1925. On July 3, eight days later.
Sundays excepted, the first session of
the Sixty-ninth Congress adjourned for
the Summer recess. The President did
not sign the bill nor return 1t with his

Amateur Theatrical Lovers
Work Hard for Success of
Initial Offering.

The first production of the Com
munity Drama Guild, The Dover
Road" will be presented under d.
rection of Clifford Brooke on We'd
nesday and Thursday nights, Jartu-
arv % and "a, In the auditorium Of
the new Mckinley High School, Second
and T streets northeast.
/ Washington player groups. dramatic
clubs, citizens associations, university
students and lovers of the amateur
drama have worked hard for the sue
cess of the guilds first production.
So great has been the interest that
sponsors OF the guild feel 1t represents
an amateur drama movement OF the
people Of Washington, and that the
people themselves are shaping Its
course.
Cast Picked After Tryouts.
The cast for the play, which was Sc
lected after extensive tryouts by the
casting committee, includes represent
atives of numerous local drama groups.
Among them are: Denis E. Connell,
Arthur B. White, Dorothy Crosby,
Dorothea Lewis, Gerald Flood, Robert
Miller, Harry Westcott, Jack Phelan,
Betty Ridsdale and Wilma Flood. No
two Of these players belong to the
same organization.
An average of Is drama directors
of Washington who are registered as
guild members, have been attending
the daily afternoon rehearsals, which
i are conducted In the Franklin Admin
istration Building by Clifford Brooke.
The cast has been working hard for
the opening performance.
Ethel T. Prince, William M. Lamb,
Harold Snyder and Mrs. Edwin Paul
also have been working long hours in
designing and executing stage settings.
Plans for publicity, including the dis
play of posters and sale Of season and
single tickets. are being handled by the
committee of registrants. The tickets
being sold throughout the city are ex-
changeable for reserved seats at T. Ar
thur Smiths ticket bureau on G street
without additional cost.
Theater Parties Organized.
One of the interesting features Of the
opening presentations by the guild will
be the theater parties now being or
ganized by individual members and
groups.
The Community Drama Guild Is re-
garded as a new amateur drama move
ment in the National Capital fed
Grafton of organized drama clubs rather
than a new club. Players are not taken
from their own clubs, but merely Dor
rowed' for the occasion.

objections to the House in which it

objections to the House in which 1t
originated.
The Indians take the view that the
pocket veto of the President had not
killed the bill and that the measure
had become law without his signature
because he had not returned 1t to Con-
gress with his disapproval within 10
days. Sundays excepted, after 1t had
reached him. Suit was brought in the
Court of Claims and the court held
the bill had not become law.
Substantially the same condition
exists in regard to the Muscle Shoals
bill, which reached the President in
the closing days of the last session.
The controversy centers around the
constitutional provision that bills sent
to the President shall become law UNI
less he vetoes them In 10 days, Sun
days excepted, unless prevented by the
adjournment of Congress.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Whcn an or
binary person dies it's just too bad,
and his surviving relations have TO
figure out how to meet the funeral
expenses. But when a member OF con-
crcss passes to his reward his death
and burial are expensive for the fed
e-al treasury.
When a congressman dies an adj
journment is taken in respect to the
departed brother. resolutions of sor-
row are drawn up, a committee OF I'D
or Is men is appointed to escort the
remains home. a Sunday is set aside
to eulogize the dead mar both in the
Congressional Record and iii a special
volume. and the bill may III as high
as $40. 900. No matter how obscure a
member may have been, or how IN
popular. he gets all this attention
when he is dead.
OF course if a Pacific coast con-
gresham dies it's pretty expensive,
When a California member passed

railroad fares alone. for there was a
committee of IA and a s~ergeant-at-

attendants, as usual, went along with
the party. In such instances 1t IS
sometimes difficult to recruit 4 fun

gressmen who have never been TO

The initial expense of a members
death comes when the widow is paid
$4,000. a years salary. Each Of his
clerks receives a months salary, and
the cost of eulogy and issuing special
Congressional Records containing the
eulogies runs into the thousands. The
burial expenses and all incidental ex-
penses of the committee are paid, and
although members of the house are

herths and food in connection with
the funeral OF the late Senator Jones
of New Mexico.
Few ceremonies here arc more re-
markablc than the Sunday eulogy.
The senate eulogizes merely its own.
but the house always eulogizes a dead
senator. though it may wait until two
or three years after his death. The
house custom is To eulogize four or
five deceased members on the ann
day, and few attend except those who
arc to speak. From a half dozen to a
score eulogies are accorded each one.
Sometimes. also. a colleague OF the
deceased can't wait until eulogy day.
In the last session One member took
the floor to eulogize a departed col
league whom few had ever heard OF.
His eulogy, as shown in the Record. is
crammed with such time-Worn phrases
as "a grief-stricken yet grateful pub
lie" last full measure Of DEVOTION
the transient life of man." 1.-The mys-
teal problem of life" 1.-The innumer-
able ava from whose bourne no
traveller returns" his spirit marches
down the aisle Of eternity" "he stands
naked before the great white throne
OF God" and much more Of the same.
This is typical of congressional eulo-
| gies. Some great ones have been de-
livered-Senator Jim Reeds tribute to
the late La Toilette was a classic-but
many are pretty cheap. Those studded
with poetry probably are the worst.

ceased. Nearly 1000 are given to SEN
ators and representatives from his
state, and the other 5000 60 to other
members for distribution to ConStitu-
entS.
Some members have refused con-
gressional funerals in advance. There
has been no recent agitation to elm
mate any of the fuss and expense
but several bills we're introduced with
that purpose late in the last century
when the tendency of funeral COM
mittees to turn funeral parties into
travelling drinking parties became
rather a scandal.
