AT THE STRAND

Joe Cook, famed comedian of Rain or Shine, which has been made into motion picture by Co., lumbia Pictures with the star in his original role, and is scheduled to play at the Strand theater with sev- en anniversary vaudeville acts on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, IS keen student of psychology as applied to audience reactions. His funniest and greatest laugh -provok- ing antics are not the mere haphaz- ard drolleries they appear to be, bu. carefully planned schemes to en- snare the elusive but desirable laugh.
 Out of Joe Cooks portfolio of famous gags there are several that stand out ard each one has a differ cnt foundation. His famous ex- planation Of Why I Cant Initiate Four Hawaiians' has but lately been elaborated by him and published in book form. His masterpiece. how ever is the remarkabls complicated contraption which he describes as the 1880 Model Fuller Construc- tion Company Man Recording Orchestra" He uses this as the climax of his one-man circus in the film version of Rain or Shine"
 Playing a few sad notes on his cornet, MT. Cook, standing at the right of the scene, starts buzz-saw connected with an electric motor. This starts sparks from the seat of an assistants trousers. The assist ant in turn squirt seltzer upon the back of another assistants neck. Assistant number three, startled by the sudden shower, turns a crank which causes a small ferris wheel with three occupants 10 revolve until each one comes into 2 position 10 smash a guitar over the head of Dave Chasen, MT. Cooks personal assistant, who then strikes a note on a nickled triangle at precisely the right moment.
 This instrument is just one Of the many mirthful moments in Rain or shine
 Louise Eazenda, Joan Peers. Will liam Collier, Jr., and Tom Howarl play supporting roles.

FEDERATION FOR
INDIA URGED IN
SIMON REPORT

LONDON, June "a. U.P)-Recom
mendations contained in the second
part Of the Simon report on India
today were believed assured of pas
sage by the British Parliament.
Chief among the measures advocated
is federation form of government
for India.
While there was no particular
feeling here that their recommenda-
tions would meet with complete ap-
proval of the Indian Nationalists,
it was pointed out that representa-
tives of the three British parties sat
on the commission, and that therefore
ii stood a good chance of ultimate
passage, despite the fact that some
recalcitrant party members might
oppose it.
The chief basis for Nationalists
objections will be, of course, the
commission failure to recommend
immediate dominion status, one of
the most persistent demands of the
Mahatma Gandhi group. But it was
felt here that the proposals for ex-
TENSION of suffrage and native po-
lice supervision would in some mea-
sure allay the Nationalists' objec-
tions, and win Indian sympathy for
the plan, if adopted.

ATTACKS
VETERAN
MEASURE
Hoover DenOunces Bill
Passed Last Night By
Upper House
VETO THREATENED
Not In Interest of Sol
diers or Taxpayer, Says
President.
By PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June .. Pres
ident Hoover today denounced the
pending World War veterans bill in
vigorous language which indicated
his intention to veto the legisla-
ton.
The Senate passed the bill last
night to a vote of sc to and the
House, which previously passed the
measure, is expected to accept the
Senate amendments today and send
the bill to the white house.
However, House leaders hoped to
forestall this action and announced
shortly after Mr.. Hoover S state
ment that they would propose at a
Republican caucus tonight COM
promise in the form of Il straight
out pension bill.
This compromise bill, presented
early in the session by Rep. Swick,
Republican, Pennsylvania, was re-
jected by the House when the mat
ter of compensation first came up
for consideration. 1t would provide
regular pensions for certain disab-
led veterans rather than authorize
immediate recognition of compensa-
tion claims.
Mr.. Hoover spoke in a forceful
tone while delivering his attack up
on the veterans bill. His language
and delivery indicated he NJ thor
oughly aroused.
'"The veterans BILL" he said, "is
bad legislation. 1t is no more in
the interests of the veterans than
it is in the interests of the taxpay.
ers.'
Describing the Lill as wasteful and
discriminatory, Mr.. Hoover said it
was very sad thing for the govern
ment to set standard of subtcr-
fuge for the people,
Cites Difference
The President said
"In this problem we are not deal
ing with sick and disabled veterans.
Except for some marginal cases, the
government has long since generous,
ly provided for the man whose dis
abilities were derived from the war
itself. These cases before us, except
for a comparatively small number
of marginal ones, are in reality men
disabled from incidents of civil life
since the war.
"The whole matter is one that
must be approached in a high sense
of justice and utmost sympathy. But
