Fifty-scven pupilS-38 girls and

night in exercises addressed by
DR.. Edward Gwathmey, president
of Converse College. and attend
ed by an audience that filled the
school auditorium almost to ca
pacity.
In his address to the gradu-
ates, all of whom were CARRIED in
cap and gown and seated on the
stage, DR.. Gwathmey said the
world has no place for lazy per.
son, that lives are not measured
by the number of years but by
intensity, and that true success
and real happiness lie in the pun"
suit of an ideal and the accom-
plishment of a worthy purpose.
Dr.. Gwathmev drew these les
sons from the life of Capt. John
Smith. which he related in con-
siderable detail from the time o.
his birth in England of yeoman
parentage, through young man
hood of adventure and his activ.-
ties in the colonization Of Amer
lea, and his final years back in
the old world. .
! "John Smith died at the age OF
81" the speaker said. "but into
these years he packed more ad-
venture, romance and success
than most of his contemporaries
who lived almost twice as long.
He was always the personitication
of energy, he pursued an ideal,
he accomplished much, and per-
haps above all he remained true
to a firm conviction in supreme
God"
Dr.. Gwathmey said that in COM
pleting the high school course, the
members of the graduating class
had done much toward forming
the habit of being successful IN
ANYTHING they undertake.
"This is an important habit,
he said "and if it is not formed
early in life the individual will
soon begin to doubt his ability IN
anv line Of endeavor."
Before presenting the diplomas,
Supt F.. NJ. Waters addressed pa
irons and friends of the school,
thanking them for their co-opera-
ton and emphasizing the impor-
lance of their continued support.

United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. June 3. (UP)
Administration leaders in the sem
ate succeeded in beating down by
one vote yesterday a determined
attack on President Roosevelt's
! plan to save $400,000,000 by re-
| ducing veterans compensation.
1t was the nearest any rebel
lion has come to success in the
special session of congress. for if
the Roosevelt forces had lost this
battle all plan for balancing the
budget would have been scrapped.
AS it was they had to call on
Vice President Garner to cast the
deciding vote when the issue was
tied at AZ to 40. He promptly
swung the battle in favor of the
white House. - 49,
A tangled and involved parlia-
mentary procedure preceded the
test vote on the Connally amend
ment to the independent offices
appropriation bill. Debate had
been bitter. because senator's
close TO President Roosevelt indi-
Gated he was ready to veto the
bill and make a. personal appeal
!, to the people to support him in
event congress scrapped his econ
omv program.
The independent offices bill
passed later in the evening car
ries an appropriation Of about
S490,000,000 to pay veterans
| conversation. During the Hoover
administration the appropriation
was almost S1,O00,00O.0O0. One
of President Roosevelt's first acts
was to force through congress the
economy bill. giving him power to
cut veterans compensation.
He decided on reductions Of
about S400,000,000. Soon pro-
tests came in from veterans
against the heavy reductions.
That resentment found express
sion on the floor of the senate
yesterday when Senator Tram
nell, DEM, Fla, led a revolt
against the Roosevelt policy.
He offered an amendment which
would have compelled the presi-
dent to limit reductions on COM
bat disability veterans to Is per
cent of their present compensa-
ton. Senate Democratic Leader
Robinson and Senator Byrnes,
DEM. S. c., led the fight in be-
1 half of the White House. They
contended the Trammell amend
ment would cost the federal gov
eminent between $170.000,000
and $190,000,000 annually.
| They were willing to compro-
mise. they said. on an amendment
which would allow Mr.. Roosevelt
to cut as much as 25 per cent
from the compensation of COM
| bat disability veterans.
| Senator Connally, DEM, Texas,
offered an amendment TO carry
out that provision. 1t was on
adoption of that amendment that
the tie vote came and Garner
stepped forward to turn the tide.
Under the Connally amendment
the savings of $400,000,000 will
be reduced to about $3.50, 00O,-
600, but administration leaders
believe that will still insure q
