President vetoes
Measure Increasing
Deportation Power
Ports Of Legislation
Declared SuperfIuous
In Message to House

A veto message disappearing a
bill increasing the power of the
Government to deport aliens en-
gagged in espionage or sabotage or
involved in the narcotic traffic was
received by the House today from
President Roosevelt.
The President pointed out that
the bill provided for deportation OF
three classes of aliens, irrespective
OF whether they entered the United
States before or after passage OF
the act
Considers Legislation Superfiuous.
In the first group, the President
commented, are aliens who have
been convicted or have voluntarily
admitted in writing that they have
engaged in espionage or sabotage
affecting the national defense OF
the foreign relations of the United
States since entering this country
He added:
Il am in full accord with the
view that the Government should
be empowered to deal firmly and
effectively with persons guilty OF
espionage or sabotage. With that
end in view. several months ago
instructed the Federal Bureau OF
Investigation and the Department
of Justice to coordinate and take
charge of the investigation of Of
fenses of this character, in con-
junction with the military and naval
intelligence services.
"A few days ago approved a bill
that substantially increased the
maximum penalties that may be
imposed on persons convicted OF
such crimes. Ample authority is
found in the existing law for the
deportation of aliens guilty of such
activities, for the Secretary of Labor
is already authorized to deport them
if, after hearing, it is found that
they are undesirable residents of
the United States. Further legisla-
ton on this subject appears to be
unnecessary and superfluous."
No Criticism of One Section.
The President said he had no
criticism of a provision of the bill
relating to aliens who, at any time
have been convicted of violating a
Federal or State narcotic law.
Concerning third group of aliens
whose mandatory deportation would
be required, the habitual users of
narcotic dope. the President said
this feature of the bill might result
''in hardship not commensurate
with the benefits to be drived from
this legislation"

Clouds Spoil View
OF Solar Eclipse
For Washingtonians
Spectacle Visible Here
Only for Few Seconds;
Photographs Taken

Clouds obsoured for Washington
q spectacular show that won't be
repeated in 81 years-the blackine
out of the inside of the suns face
by the moon.
The eclipse, first of such wide
spread visibility in the United States
since 1865, was visible for only
seconds between the clouds by any
Washingtonians who wanted tt
look.
Those who got better view, per-
sons living in the 150-mile path
OF the ring phase Of the eclipse
reported that it looked like bis
black polka dot with a shining
orange rim around 1t.
The annular or ring phase of the
eclipse, which obscures SO per cent
of the suns diameter, entered the
United States at Big Bend, Tex. at
4:40 pm. and Travelled 1000 miles
eastward across the southern part
of the country in slightly more than
half an hour.
Photographs Taken.
Washington could have viewed a
10 per cent eclipse had the weather
been right, the Naval Observatory
said. Scientists of the Carnegie In
stitution at their Kensington, Md.
laboratory, took advantage of the
eclipse to photograph reflections and
echoes of radio waves, which is an
operation the clouds don't inter.
fere with. They reported the elec-
trical activity was greatly dimin-
ished throughout the electrically
charged layer known as the iono-
sophere.
The Associated Press said astrono-
mers in Texas set up instruments t.
study rays thrown out from the edge
of the sun, the eclipse's effect upon
radio reception and other scientific
factors. Results of their observa-
tions may not be known for many
months.
An experimental United States
Army bomber went so high into the
substratosphere after eclipse pic
lures that its four motors left a
wake of frozen exhaust in the sky.
The temperature dropped to "a
degrees below zero in the planes
cabin, where window had been
left open to accommodate the Ma
tions biggest aerial camera.
Sees "Six Suns"
Maj. George w. Goddard, chief Of
the Army's Photographic branch al
Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, said he
saw "six suns" when he looked back
through his camera after an emer.
gency tank of oxygen had beer
hooked up.
The bomber's four man crew went
up about $4,000 feet to get their pic.
lures.
Through a camera with an 80.
pound lens that has a 5-foot foca
length. Maj. Goddard took the first
color photographs of the orange
eclipse ring.
Photographs taken yesterday were
the only ones ever made of ring
eclipse of the sun. A daguerfeotype
taken in 1854 and a few drawings
are the only other pictorial records
of the phenomenon.
The camera which Maj. Goddard
used is the only one of its kind
in the United States, and has been
tested extensively during the past
few months as a military instru-
ment for aerial mapping and re-
connoitering.
Bailey's Beads Unexpectedly
showed up in photographs taken by
the Hayden anetarium-Longines
expedition here. They are caused
by the suns reflection in valleys
of the moons jagged mountains
and are commonly seen in total
eclipses of the sun in which the
moon entirely covers the suns sur
face. They were not anticipated in
this eclipse.

Kennedy Now

Nv JOSEPH AIs>OP and
ROBERT kINTNER

NASHlNG1ON-Let there
be no mistake about il. When
Joseph P. Kennedy, grandlle-
quently announced he was
laying down his office to fight
for the cause of peace, he
really meant he was going 10
peddle appeaSement all across
the United States.
His former associates ST the
,tate department now visibly re-
heved TO be his associates no
longer, are firmly convinced OF il
More than one Of his closest
friends and warmest customary de-
tenders admit that 1t is so. His
record speaks for itself
And despite his loud assertions

fessed a. much himself Indeed.
he seems 10 have been at It al
ready. For it must be more than
q coincidence that wherever Ken
nedy has gone in the country since
his return from London. there have
been sudden crops Of defeatist
rumors and sppessement talk.
NAY EFFECT OPINION
BY following his announced plan
Of seeking out leading men and
telling them his story. Kennedy
may have great effect on public
opinion. His self appraisal was
revealed in his remarkable asser-
ton, Il know more about Europe
than anybody else in this country"
Before his statements are taken At
quite so bullish a valuation. how
ever. It will be well to investigate
the Kennedy record above men,
toned.
One Of his proudest boasts,
made more than once since his re-
turn to this country is that he
did not succumb to the "blanish-
ments" of the English. Undoubt-
edly, he escaped the effect Of the
Establishments from such men as
Winston Churchill and Ernest Be-
vin-the men who are now leading
Britain's gallant battle for sur
vival. Possibly Churchill and Be-
win did not waste their comph-
ments on our ambassador. since he
cast his lot from the start with
the men who prepared Britains
disaster - Montagu Norman and
Sir Horace Wilson. Neville Cham
berlain, Sir John Simon and their
cronies.
TO BE EXPECTED
OF course, il was only to be ex-
pected that kennedys closest as
sociates in London should be the
chief appeasers. Theirs was the
mentality of the city of London.
Kennedys mind had been formed
when ne was making his fortune
by speculation on the stock ex-
change. II mattered little to Ken
nedy II Churchill and Bevin ac-
cused his heroes of thinking with
their pocketbooks instead Of their
minds. He swallowed their theories
OF European politics whole, with
out a gulp.
Kennedy may now deny that he
40 readily swallowed the appeasers'
theories. Yet his own dispatches
are the evidence TO the contrary.
In the period before the war, he
constantly pressed on the presi-
dent and the state department the
appeasement view. During the
actual war crisis, he went so far
as to hint pretty plainly that the
president ought to bring pressure
on Poland to succumb to Germany
without struggle. After the war
began he bombarded the depart
ment with repeated expressions Of
almost unslloyed defeatism. Some
times these were too extreme to
