us and they ought to save their money"
 Chairman Pat Harrison of the sen- ate finance committee, who spon- sored the bonus bill in the senate, confirmed the general opinion that the senate would concur with the house.
 Tt is my opinion that the veto will not be sustained. I shall vote to override the veto," he said.
 Last year the senate upheld the Patman bill veto 40 to 54.
 Message of President
 The presidents message of six short paragraphs read as follows:
 II return herewith, without my approval, H. R. Bill 9870, entitled sAn Act to Provide for the Imme- diate Payment of World War Ad- justed Service Certificates, for the Cancellation of Unpaid Interest Ac- crued on Loans Secured by Such Certificates, and for Other Pur- poses
 @ bill to pay the bonus in full inl- mediately instead of in 1945, I gave in person to a joint session of the congress complete and explicit rea- sons for my actions.
 'The bill now return differs from last years bill in only two irn- portant respects: first, 1t eliminates the issuance of unsecured paper currency to make the payments re- quired and substitutes interest bear. ing bonds, which, however, may be converted into cash for face value at any time; second, it adds $263,- 100000 to the total payments by forgiving interest after October l, 1881, on amounts borrowed.
 Tn all respects, the circumstances arguments and facts remain essen- italy the same as those fully cov- cred and explained by me only eight months ago.
 T respectfully refer the members of the senate and of the house of representatives to every word of what I said then.
 My convictions are as impelling today as they were then. Therefore, I cannot change them" Speed of Veto Surprised The speed of the veto message at this time came as 6 distinct sur- prise. Observers had felt that MT. Roosevelt had not even started writ- ing, believing that he was planning to do so in the quiet of his study to- morrow evening.
 In submitting the message, in his own handwriting, the president re- vived custom that passed out of usage in the "gay nineties." Tn those days Rudolph Forster. chief White House clerk, often sat up all night writing out messages in longhand as required by law. Forster, who has been at the White House for more than 40 years does not recall Q message in tho presidents own script going up be- fore. Usually they were written by the clerk.

twenty lncheS or snow blanKeteo Grand Haven and Muskegon, Mich.
 Temperatures were far below nor- nal in most sections east of the Rocky Mountains with the exception of Texas and southern Louisiana. It was 5 above at Nashville, 12 above at Memphis, 1T above at Atlanta, and B above at Jacksonville, Fla.
 Montana, western Kansas and part of Nebraska enjoyed comfort able temperatures. It was 42 above at Billings, Mont, today, with rain falling.
 The mercury clumped to 5 below at Pittsburgh and 4 below at Cleveland. Residents of these areas were prom ised no relief before Saturday. The piercing wind which caused intense suffering in the midwest subsided. Forecast of Snow brought ,, the prospect of blocked highways in the wake of icy roads which have paralyzed traffic in many sections for two days.
 Marooned Woman Is Mother
 Near Racine, Wisconsin, Mrs. Pasquale Perone gave birth to son in the farmhouse in which she was marooned with her four little chil- dren. Her husband was, in Racine, unable to break through deep drifts with a doctor.
 Rural schools remained closed throughout Minnesota and the Da- kotas, but all public schools re- opened in Chicago. Construction work on all public works projects remained at 8 standstill. Plans were made to shift workers to snow re- moval duty in the event of a heavy snow. Snowdrifts and icy highways cut down the supply of livestock supplies at the Chicago Stock Yards. Rail- roads placed an embargo on ship ments because of the danger of death losses. Wholesale meat prices were steady to higher.
 Rescued Pupils, Heroes 1 Neptune, Ohio, January 24 - (UP) -Thirty-five pupils of the Neptune school who were pretty worried Wednesday night when @ blizzard marooned them in the school house, and pitiably glad when snowplows followed by frightened parents res- cued them last night, were heroes today.
 After a night in warm beds, the 35 looked back on their adventure with pride. Others of the schools 200 pupils, who got home before the school was isolated, were openly envious.
 Two snowplows and crew of shovelers recruited from farms and villages for miles around, reached the brick school building at 6 o'clock last night after the 35 children and four teachers had been isolated 90 hours.
 The castaways were just preparing beds for another night in the school. kept warm by an ample supply of fuel, but s1sfering from hunger. They had showed benches and tables together to make beds and were sharing oveTcoats as blankets.

on top of all glittered the inc perioI crown, the sceptre and the orb. the three chief emblens of soyereiGnty. The crown contained the star of Africa diamond, 3O0 ca- rats; the great. Black Prince ruby, and some 5000 other gems, many historic and priceless.
 The orb, or nound-from the French Monde (world) implying world wide dominion, was a six inch globe surmounted by Q cross, five inches high. The globe was of gold, banded with diamonds, emer- aids, rubies and pearls: from an amethyst on top rose Q golden cross set with diamonds, pearls, @ sap- phire and an emerald. In the top of the sceptre was the lesser star of Africa diamond.
 There was a single cross of roses.
 As the correspondent passed the bier four foot guards officers step- ped noiselessly from Q side door and relieved those on guard. The sentries are relieved in half-hour re- lays.
 Beauty Of Scene
 Those who passed seemed almost stunned by the beauty of the scene. Women whispered "oh, God! how beautiful" almost in tears. Eevry- body seemed more impressed by beauty than sadness. Every one who left stopped for a moment at the entrance to look back.
 Officials estimated that some 1,- 100000 people will have passed through the hall by Monday night.
 First to arrive in front of the hall last night were women, but as the night progressed and grew colder, more and more men arrived until they were in the majority.
 Sir Ernest Beachcroft Towse, 71 year old blind holder of the Vic- toria Cross, which he won as a captain in the Seaforth Highland CTS in South Africa after an al- ready distinguished army career in India, stood guard at the cata- falque from midnight to l o'clock this morning. He will do so each night. He was King Georges ser- geant at arms in ordinary, and one of his gentlemen at arms.
 Waited All Night
 Those who had waited all night outside were heavy eyed and hag- gard when they entered.
 The rule was made that there should be no favorites, and that any man or woman who wanted to pay final honor to the late king must wait in line.
 People seemed awed as they en- tered the hall with its 300 years of history, where Charles was con- deimned to death and Warren Hast ings acquitted, where on new year 700 years ago Henry III feasted G. 900 poor people and where Richard the lion hearted feasted 10000 guests one Christmas day on 28 Oxen, 300 sheep and countless fowls cooked by 2,O00 cooks.
 By midday, approximately 5O,000 persons had filed past King Georges bier, despite the dull, cool weather.

 Sub-ZerO Readings
 Tn Exchange place this morning and at the trolley barns in the West End the thermometers recorded sub-zero readings. The Democrats recording thermometer, however, showing the actual dead" cold be- cause it is protected from the wind showed 6 above zero at 3 o'clock this morning. At 6 o'clock a sudden let-up in the cold occurred and the mercury jumped one degree only to drop back to le 6-degree point at 2 o'clock. At clock the reading was 8 above and 1t remained so until almost Il o'clock when slight rise was noted.
 .S May Be Let.Up
 Late this afternoon 1t is believed that let-up in the cold will be noted with cloudy weather to-mor- row with accompanying milder tenn peratures.
 Street department workers con- tinued their task of shoveling the streets clear of snow to-day. A large number of WPA employees were kept off work to-day because of the intense cold. It was also reported that 8 number of those released yesterday did not report to their re- spective jobs to-day.

 The vote on whether to override came after the house shouted down by 8 vote of 180 to 131 @ motion to delay a vote until Monday. The roll- call overriding the veto followed in1- mediately.
 The presidents veto message to- day referred congress to his 1885 bonus veto message emphasizing that funds were not provided to pay for the bonus.
 Recently the apparently certain enactment of the bonus measure has added to speculation on the neces- sity of taxes to meet such unsched- ,iled government obligations. f Little Time Wasted The house wasted little time in de- ciding upon an immediate vote.

They had done the same the night before, after dining on potatoes and apples brought in by the nearest farmer, with candy made on domes- tic science class stoves for dessert They had the same diet for break fast, lunch and dinner last night.
 While the rescued children played the hero to their mates, Mrs. Bernice Baumgartner, a teacher, and E. F. Clarkson, school superintendent, were heroes to their parents.
 Mrs. Baumgartner made her way 16 miles to Celina, Ohio, riding part of the way in sub-zero weather with @ mailman, to ask the help of snow- blow crews. .Clarkson kept his charges merry and confident by or- ganizing games at night and main- taining the regular school routine during the day. He got some of his smallest pupils to the homes of close by farmers.
 We weren't in real danger, but it was uncomfortable and the fuel might have run out if we'd had to stay much longer" he said. I'm glad we're out"
 Children, Teachers Saved
 Geneva, Ind, January "A = (UP) = Two hundred children and seven teachers rescued yesterday from 36 hours of isolation in a blizzard bound school retained no effects of their adventure today except @ sober realization among the older among them that they had been close to tragedy.
 When two trucks and two snow- blows reached the school yesterday, the fuel supply for a wood-burning stove, affording the buildings only heat, was almost exhausted. Chil- dren and teachers were hungry, cold, frightened and exhausted by con- stant exercise to keep warm.
 Had rescue been delayed another 12 hours the stove would have been without fuel in Q temperature below zero.
 Fifty children of another school Q few miles east of Geneva were res- cued in even worse plight. Frantic parents who shoveled their way through 12-foot drifts to the ore- room building found three children lying i'll on Ynakeshift cots near 8 wood-stove and the others suffering from hunger.
