Four men participated in the
holdup. forcing 20 employees of the

HOOVER PLANNING
LIBERAL USE OF
VET0INC POWER

WASHINGTON. Dec. 10. U.P,-
President Hoover is preparing for
liberal use OF the veto power at this
session of Congress, according to his
friends and advisers
Mr Hoover is represented as de-
termined to keep the unemployment
and drought relief expenditures
within the figures he laid down IN
the budget even if it requires veto
fight with the Senate and House.
The first measure upon which he
may employ his power of rejection
is the seed and feed loans bill which
now carries an appropriation OF
S6O,000.000 or S30,000,000 more than
he recommended. The White House
is disturbed at the form in which
the measure passed the Senate and Is
eXerting its influence to cut the total
down to S30,O0O,000 in the House
The President also wants the human
flood relief phase of the measure
eliminated. Unless this is done. 1t
is said authoritatively. the measure
will face a strong Executive protest
if not direct veto.
The Presidents political assocl-
ates say he would welcome a fight
with Congress on the issue OF in
creased government expenses, and IS
prepared to have it on his first mea-
sure.
Many have felt Mr. Hoover has
been too quiet in his dealings with
the legislative branch. They see an
opportunity for him to increase ms
prestige in preparation for 1882 by
battling to hold the Treasury purse
strings.

new FORM OF
GOVERNMENT TO
BE- GIVEN INDIA
By HARRY L. PERCY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Dec 10. U.P)-A plan
for a responsible government for
India, patterned in part on the gov
ernment of the United States. was
being worked out today by delegates
to the round table conference.
The delegates, representing every
caste and class in India. took up the
question of federal structure and
constitution. and the rights of min
critics.
The western parliamentary system
already had been adopted in prln-
ciple by the subcommittee, which
agreed that there will be created the
office of a chief minister who COR
responds to the European premier
and two chambers corresponding TO
the American Congress.
While the British, who have eX-
tended control in an exploited India
IN the last century, will not be det
initely excluded from participation
in the federal government-or the
provincial government, for that
matter-the trend of opinion at the
conference has been toward lessen
ing the chances of such particlpa-
ton. This would be done by instl-
tuition of popular election, which
would not often result in the selec-
tion of British subject.
The only definite conclusion
which has been accepted by the
conference to date has been the
decision, in principle, for separation
of Burma, the eastern region which
never was really bound to India.
