he said the new bill would be offered
in both Houses today.
It eliminates features objected to by
the President, he said.
Would Override Veto.
A proposal that bill providing new
basis for pensions be passed over the
veto of President Herbert Hoover today
confronted the Senate.
Senator Connally, Democrat, Texas
was the sponsor of motion to take
such action, requiring two-thirds vote
of both branches of Congress. Senator
Robinson Of Indiana, staunch member
of the regular Republican bloc, was the
author of the measure in question.
The bill was returned to Congress
with Mr.. Hoover'S diSapproval late yes
terday and had hardly been received
when Connally asked that the Senate
override the veto. Several Senators
requested time 70 study the preSlQentlal
message, which accompanied the meas
ure and further consideration was de-
ferred until today.
Hoover's Second Veto.
It was Mr. Hoover's second veto. The
first disapproved bill to mint special
memorial coins in connection with the
celebration of the Gadsden Purchase.
The Presidents objection to the Rob-
inson bill was based upon three points.
He argued in his message 1t would per-
NIT the payment Of pensions to veterans
for disabilities arising from vicious
habits, would allow pensions to persons
not In financial need of them and would
.loWer the period of service required OF
those to whom pensions are paid.
Senator Connally, Democrat, Of
Texas has moved to override the Presi-
dents veto,
Chairman Robinson Of the Senate
pensions committee said he hoped ac-
ton on Connally's motion would be
deferred until his group decided what
steps to take.
With number of Senators absent,
Senator Connally indicated he would
wait until Monday to ask Senate vote
to override the veto.

best that can be said Of the
