PRESIDENT READY
FOR RELIEF VETO
WITH NEW APPEAL
Expected to Outline Plans
Again in Rejection Due
Tomorrow.
GARNER TO SIGN BILL
AND SEND 1T ON WAY
Two-third Vote Lacking to Over
ride Hoover Decision-Democrats
Face Compromise Necessity.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.


President Hoover's veto Of the $2,l22,-
10000 relief bill, finally agreed to by
both houses of Congress and carrying
the provision for Government loans to
private individuals, is ready.
AS soon as the President shall have
received the measure from Congress, 1t
is expected he will return it to the
House, where it originated, without his
approval and with a message giving his
reasons. Unless members of Congress
are in error, the President will include
in his veto message recommendations
for a relief bill which he can approve
Such bill would be minus the private
loan provision for which Speaker Gar
ner has fought, but in the main would
be similar to the bill which he plans
to veto.
Because the House was not in ses-
sion yesterday the relief bill could not
be signed by Speaker Garner. The
Speaker, however, will affix his sigma
ture to the measure as soon as that
body meets at noon tomorrow and the
bill go then to the President.
Two-Thirds Lacking.
When the measure comes back from
the White House, an effort will be made
in the House to pass it over the veto,
it was indicated last night by Majority
Leader Rainey. However, it will be i'm
possible to obtain the necessary two
thirds vote to put it through.
Even if there were sufficient votes
In the House to pass the bill over the
veto the Senate would sustain the
President, as indicated by the vote in
that body yesterday when the confer
enee report was adopted by vote of
43 to 81. Some of the Republican
Senators who voted for the conference
report yesterday would not vote 10 over
ride a presidential veto. Those votes
were cast merely to expedite consider
alton Of the bill and to prevent long
deadlock between the two houses over
the measure threatened by Speaker
Garner il the Senate turned down the
conference report.
In the opinion of Mr. Rainey, the
House Ways and Means Committee
will be called together Immediately end
will bring out relief bill which will
meet the objections of the President
and that measure will be speedily
placed upon its passage. The Presi-
dents views are well understood by the
House leaders. and will be explained
fully in his ve.o message, too.
The Senate Democrats went down
the line for Speaker Garner yesterday
when they voted for the conference
report on the bill. Only five Demo
cratic Senators voted against the re-
port, although many Of those who sup
ported it are known to be hostile TO
the provision for loans to private indi-
viduals on which Mr.. Garner has made
his fight.
Hoped to Speed Action.
These Democratic Senators were
anxious not to put the Speaker in an
embarrassing position, since he is the
vice presidential candidate for their
party. Also they were desirous Of put
ting an enc to the long, drawn out
controversy over the relief bill and pc
lieved that by sending the measure 70
the President. even for a veto. it would
be POSSIBLE to bring about quicker leg
islotion.
Here and there we're Democrats in
The Senate and House who declared
they were willing to leave relief legls-
lation on the doorstep of the President;
willing to seek to place the blame Tor
failure Of the measure on the Presi-
dent But the great majority Of the
Democrats as well as Of the Republicans
do not relish the idea of adiourning
Congress without putting through a
relief bill. They fear the voters might
place the blame on Speaker Garner and
the House Democrats. Furthermore,
the President would be in a position to
call the Congress back into special
session and to demand that a relief bill
be put through
Senator Robinson Of Arkansas. the
Democratic leader, in a statement
made TO the press yesterday following
a conference Of the Senate Democrats,
pointed to three courses which might
be followed to obtain legislation in the
event of a presidential veto Of the
relief bill.
Three Ways Open.
"If vetoed, we viii try to revise the
legislation. There are at least three
ways to do this" he said
First, the House may attach amend
rnents TO the $500, 0,000,0 900 relief bill and
pass it. Second, the Senate may at
tach amendments to the House Sl36,-
600 600 road bin and pass that. Either
of these two courses would bring a new
conference between the Houses. which
probably would bring a quick agree
inert. Third, they could eliminate
from the present bill the feature
