BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 23-Senate
Republicans in conference today
were unable to agree on the ques-
ton Of supporting President Hoover
in his opposition to the pending
World war veterans pension bill,
which was expressed in vigorous
statement.
The measure was to be voted upon
in the senate this afternoon under
unanimous consent agreement.
Twenty-Five representatives of va
rious Republican groups, including
both the old regular leaders and the
So-called young guard, were split
three ways at today's meeting. Re-
publican Floor Leader Watson indi-
Gated the bill would pass in its pres
ent form despite the Presidents
warning that it might mean an in
crease in taxes in the fall.
Watson Is Doubtful
Watson also was doubtful about
his ability to prevent the measure
from being passed later by a two
thirds majority over the veto which
Mr.. Hoover has indicated he would
administer.
Two substitute proposals more to
the Presidents liking were offered
in the conference by Senators Reed
(Rep., Pa and Bingham (Rep.,
Conn.,. Both would lower the esti-
mated $181, 100000 annual cost of
the pending senate bill to around
$35,OOO,O0O.
They also would eliminate the
feature the President found objec-
tionable, the provision allowing vet
Grams to get pensions for any all
ment developed prior to January,
1880.
Neither found general favor.
Senators Rise in Protest
Scenes of confusion attended the
reading of the Presidents mes
sage at the opening of the senate
today.
Despite President Curtis
poundings of the gavel, Senator
Shortridge (Rep., CALI interposed to
shout that "the President has been
misled in saying the American Le-
gion does not approve this BILL"
Democratic floor leader Robinson
likewise protested against what he
called Mr.. Hoover'S debated objec-
tionS.''
