There were strong indications
that the final break in the long
crisis was near.
One official, in discussing Ethio-

demonstrated the emperor's inability
to control various units of his army,
composed along feudal lines with
divisions responsible almost entirely

VETO Of BILL
DRAFTEDON
POTOMAC
CRUISE
Patmanites See Admission
of Their Power in Plan
For Personal Appeal

Bonus advocates on Capitol
Hill today were undaunted by the
Presidents announcement that he
will deliver personally his bonus
veto message to Congress.
They insisted that the proposed
action of the President was all
the more an indication that the
Chief Executive realized the ire
mendous strength of the Patman-
ties in the House and Senate and
was taking this step as a last re-
sort to stop what appears to be
a "sure thing"-that the 1900
million dollars in new currency
will be issued to pay the bonus.
g." Counter Attack
The pro-bonus forces at the
Capitol also issued a counter-at-
tack to the Presidential announce
ment, asserting that his definite
decision to veto the Patman meas
ure will only redouble the efforts
of the veterans champions to at
tach the bill to some other legis-
lation later in the session, if the
veto is perchance sustained.
They made it plain that If the
Chief Executive wins out on his
personal appeal this time, he
might be called upon later to
react this dramatic performance
if he has it in his mind to keep
bonus legislation off the statute
books at any cost. They are con-
WINGED that they can send an
other Patman bill to the White
House. AS one Senator pointed
out:
1--WE are gaining every min
ute throughout the country.
Merchants, and industry, some
of whom were against us at the
outset, have come to realize
that if this money is made
available they will get some of
it, since the veterans will
spend it.
JOINING VETERANS
''These merchants and heads
of industries have begun to
join the veterans in appealing
to their Representatives and
Senators to vote to pay off
this obligation. We are sure
our strength will increase even
more if this veto is sustained
and we have to send another
such measure to the White
House."
Indictive of the sentiment of
the Patmanites with respect to
the anticipated appearance Of
the President at the joint session,
probably Monday, to deliver his
veto message, is the statement
today from Senator Pat McCar-
ran CD Of Nevada, one of the
ardent supporters of the measure:
81 don't believe the Presi-
dents personal appeal will gain
an additional vote for sus-
tanning him. I feel that the
President has given great
evidence of our strength in
Congress. If he did not realize
that we had such immense
strength it is obvious that he

In addition, there we're 800 gal

Besides attempting to hang up

they hoped to better the time they

On the first swing over the
course they were seeking to

They also will attack the world

for 1000 kilometers with the

also being held by France.
Associates said today'S flight

THREATENED
IN SENATE
Presidents Demand for Two
Years More of Blue Eagle
REEVES Old Opposition
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service

International News Service
President Roosevelt's demand
for a two-year extension Of the
National Recovery Administration
today endangered the remainder
Of his legislative program and
threatened to destroy hopes for
an early adjournment of Congress.
Before the President bespoke a
twoyear extension of the Blue
Eagle, conservative opposition to
his program virtually had col
lapSed in the Senate. His control
of the House was unchallenged.
His leaders therefore predicted
prompt enactment of his program
and an adjournment of Congress
by July i.
Challenge Accepted
The indifferent attacks of the
Republican conservatives on the
MIRA, the IVA and Wagner labor
disputes bill during the week in.
dicated he would get the rest Of
his program enacted without
much trouble. One Democratic
leader predicted an adjournment
before July /.
Trouble began brewing, how
ever, when the President and
Donald r. Richberg began de-
handing a two-year extension Of
the MIRA. The Senate voted only
nine months more life for the
Blue Eagle after June 16. When
the President spoke, House lead
ers Immediately assured him they
would follow his suggestion. This
was accepted by Senate conserva.
tives as a declaration of war.
Control Shifts
The collapse of conservative op-
position to his program this week
may prove deceptive, The pres
ent session began Is weeks ago
with the President in complete
control of Congress. Then, he
ran into an unexpected but de-
cisive defeat in the Senate on
the League Court. For a while,
this defeat broke his hold on the
Senate.
Mr.. Roosevelt battled for weeks
to regain his lost power in the
Senate. He finally succeeded
when his supporters struck the
McCarran wage amendment from
his 1880 million dollar work relief
bill, but only after the Senate
once had defied him by adopting
it. Since then, his opposition has
slowly melted until the Senate
again defied him on the NRA
issue.
FilibuSter Threatened
If the House votes a two-year ex.
tension, the Senate undoubtedly
will reject the additional reprieve
for the Blue Eagle. Then will
