BY the Associated Press.
Senator Vandenberg. Republican,
of Michigan demanded in the Sem
ate this afternoon that the War
Department withdraw statements of
Army officers that a majority Of
citizen soldiers were in favor of leg
-islation to extend indefinitely their
length of service in the Army.
Breaking into the second day OF
debate on the service extension leg
islation. the Michigan Senator as
serted that it was his understanding
that the War Department had TOR
hidden selectees, National Guards
men and Reserves to express their
opposition to the legislation.
1T seems to me-" Senator VAN
denberg told his colleagues, that if
the War Department is going to
decline to let draftees and Guards
men say that they are opposed to
the act. they ought to withdraw
from the record the statements of
Army officers saying that 80 or 80
per cent of the men were in favor
of additional service"
Tobey Cites Letter.
Senator Tobey, Republican, OF
New Hampshire read to the Senate
telegram he said he had received
from a constituent. Lester E. Smith,
asserting that the War Department
appeared to have forbidden citizen
soldiers, to communicate their op-
position to the bill to their Senators
and Representatives.
In reply, Senator Tobey said he
had wired Mr.. Smith that he was
willing to receive any petitions the
citizen soldiers might send to him,
adding that he did not believe that
selectees and others became sub
citizens when they were inducted
in the Army or had waived any of
their constitutional rights to petit
ton their Representatives" :"

ment opposed a proposed amend
ment to Army service extension leg

Added Federal Fund
For Farm Extension
Vetoed by President
Declares Senote Bill
Would Be Unfair
To Several States
l, the Associated Press.

B. the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt vetoed today
Senate bill authorizing additional
appropriations for further develop
ment of cooperative agricultural
extension work.
In a message to the Senate, he
said the bill would upset basic laws
authorizing grants to States and
Territories for extension work under
which the grants we're apportioned
in the proportion which the farm
population of a State bears to the
total farm population of the coun-
try.
The 1910 census, the President
wrote, revealed important shifts In
the farm population and as a con-
sequence a redistribution of Federal
funds for extension work in accord
ance with the basic acts would en-
title "a States and Puerto Rico to
increased Federal grants aggregat-
ing s346,O0O while the shares Of the
other "a States and Hawaii would be
decreased by about $555 600.
The bill would authorize annual
appropriations. of $555.000 to con-
tinue at the present level the annual
grants to these latter "a States and
Hawaii.
I'm effect" the President said,
"the bill renders meaningless the
apportionment formula of the basic
acts, which was thoughtfully writ
ten by Congress, and which must
have contemplated the possible ne
cessity of adjustments in appor-
tionments hereunder as shifts in
population occur"
Mr.. Roosevelt added that if that
formula is now considered unsound
sit would seem to me that the
proper corrective is to replace il
with a new and better one"
After asserting that the Bank
head Jones Act of 1885 greatly
strengthened the Governments
participation in extension work, the
Chief Executive said: Il do not fee
that there is sufficient warrant fo1
further increasing at this time the
continuing annual appropriations
provided by that act and earlier
related legislation"
