speaker in the presence of the house.
 President Hoover conferred with his cabinet about the measure to- day, and all the secretaries were un- derstood to have agreed with his op- rosition.
 MT Hoover is expected to send the
 bill back to congress with veto in
 four or five days after receiving for
 mal reports from the treasury and
 the veterans bureau.
 Repassage of the bill over the veto is believed to be assured by a
 wide margin, the house having fav- | credit by 363 to 39 and the senate by 72 to 12. Only a two-thirds vote is needed to override veto. The Pocket Veto Washington, February 20 - (UP) - All bills sent to the president to-
 day and the rest of the session end | ing March 4 will come under the
 constitutional provision by which MT Hoover may kill them by a
 pocket veto." senate parliamentar-
 ians agreed today.
 The constitution provides the president has 10 days in which to
 sign or veto a bill. If he does not act, the bill becomes law anyway ii congress is in session. But if con gress has adjourned, as it must at noon on March 4, the bill dies if not signed. This is called a "pocket veto."
 Parliamentary experts held that
 neither March nor the day on
 which bill is received at the White
 House can be counted in the ten
 days. Thus any measure received
 today could be given pocket veto.' In the case of the Veterans Loan bill, the question was purely aca-
 demic, because MT Hoover has indi-
 cated he will take definite action
 The fate of other controversial
 measures is by no means certain
 however. There is a persistent be.
 lief that the pocket veto will be ex- ercised on the Muscle Shoals bill.

days remain before the close of the present session of congress, explain ing that neither March 4. the final day of the session, nor the day upon which the bill is sent to the White House, can be counted in such a reckoning.
 This development was over shadowed, however, by word from the White House, that the president intends to act upon the measure and not to let it die for want of his signature. In the ordinary course of events, the bill would be sent to the treasury for a report as to the desirability of the financial transactions involved. Secretary of Treasury Mellon. leading opponent of the bill, is almost certain to make an unfavorable report.
 Last nights overwhelming ap- proval of the bill came after the senate had refused even to engage in A record vote on the administra- ton compromise urged before the senate finance committee by Under secretary of Treasury ogden Mills.

 Public service company represen- tatives however, appeared against the bill. They claimed that the cost of equipping their buses with the new glass would be prohibitive and would impose an unusually heavy burden on the public service com- panies at this time when 1t is hard enough as it is to keep up service and meet expenses.
 The proponents of the measure, though, declared that the safety Of passengers in public service vehicles should be considered first and that the question of expense should be considered second by the motor vehicle committee.
 The committee was told how seri- ous injuries to persons have been averted time after time. when au- tomobiles were in collision due to fact that the vehicles were equipped with the unbreakable glass. They presented data to show the amount of persons injured in auto accidents merely by flying glass alone.
