fTert OF Veto Message on Page A-5.)
By GARNETT d. HORNER.

BY GARNETT ID. HOKNER.
Labelling it Dangerous and in
hationary," President Roosevelt
today vetoed the Bankhead bill
which would boost farm prices
by excluding benefit payments in
computing parity prices.
Congressional hackers of the bill
promptly set to work to override the
veto. and this conflict between the
executive and legislative branches
promised fireworks rivaling the re-
cent tax debate in the House.
Declaring enactment of the bill
would make it infinitely harder for
the farmer to protect himself from
wartime imitation and postwar
chaos the President appealed in a
special message "to the considered
Judgment of the Congress to reject
the Bankhead bill which am re-
turning unsigned"
y Mr.. Roosevelt warned that should
the Bankhead bill become law it
would be impossible for the War
Labor Board to deny wage rises to
compensate workers for the in
creased cost of living ans thus start
an inflationary spiral that would
make "the winning Of the war more
difncult and gravely imperil our
chances OF winning the peace +
Labor Difficulty Admitted.
He admitted that farmers gener-
ally are facing increasing difficulty
in obtaining necessary farm labor
and machinery, but warned that
higher prices for farm products cam
not create additional steel or addi-
tional workers.
Majority Leader Barkley said the
Senate might vote next week to
override the veto. but that the, House
might sustain Mr. .Roosevelt's re-
lection Of the measure. pointing out
the so-called city" vote is much
larger there.
Senator Barkley told reporters mn
mediately after the veto message
was laid before the Senate that it
would be taken up next Tuesday,
adding
THE Presidents message puts
squarely before Congress the situa-
ton affecting imitation and the effort
to curb 1t on all fronts. 1t seems
to me the veto ought to be sus-
tanned"
Bankhead Expects Fight.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat. of
Alabama. author of the measure.
said a determined effort would be
made to override the veto, despite
the Presidents assertion that ex-
clusion of benefit payments in figur-
ing farm price parity formulas
would be inflationary.
Parity prices are those intended
to give farmer the same purchas-
ing power of non-farm goods that
he had IN some past favorable
period, usually l909-14)
It takes a tWo-thirds vote of both
the House and Senate to override
the President and make vetoed bill
law.
The Bankhead measure originally
passed the Senate by a vote Of 1872.
The House showed a standing vote
of 149 to 40.
The President described the Bank
head bill as going beyond the goal

to see this Bit come back. This
crew is a symbol of the achieve
ments of the Army Air Forces. Its
record is inspiring because it takes
maintenance, navigation, plotting
and gunnery of the highest type to
do what these men have done"
Gen. Saunders. deputy chief of
staff of the Army Air Forces, was
in command of the Army Air Forces
IN the Southern Pacific.
Capt. Morgan. who attended Epis-
copal High School in Alexandria. Va,
and Emerson Institute Of this city in
1886 and 1887, said the German
Focke-Wulf 100 was the toughest
enemy plane the bomber encountered
on any of its trips.
The name of the Memphis Belle
was adopted by a vote of the crew
members and was Capt. Morgan S
nomination. The ship was named in
honor of his f1ancee, Miss Margaret
Polk of Memphis, Tenn. Before the
welcoming ceremony was over Capt.
Morgan had surprise conversation
with her. The program was broad
cast and when the announcer asked
if he thought Miss Polk was listen
ing in, he replied he thought she
was. At that juncture, Miss Polk,
listening in on double hookup,
spoke to him.
Heb, what's this" exclaimed Capt.
Morgan looking into the microphone
with amazement. His face cracked
into broad grin.
This is the happiest surprise yet"
he said.
The crew will be in Washington
three days before going on a morale
building tour of industrial plants.
After that the members will receive
30-day furloughs before being re-
turned to active duty.

Vacation travel is 'unessential,

says. but it will. nevertheless. be
condoned provided that vaca tionists
go to one point and remain there
until it is time to go home again.
Gadding around the country just
for the sake of being on the go will
not only be unpatriotic this year,
the ODT said yesterday. but with
troop movements and other mill
tary traffic mounting to new peaks,
civilian tourists will find the going
extremely uncomfortable.
Fall and Winter vacations were
urged by the ODT as one means of
relieving the summertime conges-
ton on the railways and bus lines.
Beginning and ending such trips on
week days rather than on week
ends also was recommended.
And. to those who must travel,

Sales Record
.$2,137,892 TotoI
Issued to 70,851
Applicants

A new record for any two-day sale
of money orders was set here Mon
day and yesterday, when 70,S51
orders, valued at s2,137,892, were
issued at local post Offices, Postmas-
ter Vincent C. Burke announced to-
day. He estimated the bulk of these
orders were for June Is income tax
payments.
In the same two-day period the
Federal income tax office at Twelfth
street and Constitution avenue NV.
received tax payments from an esti-
mated 11,000 persons who stood in
line to avoid penalties due after June
Is. On Monday more than 5000
persons visited cashiers windows to
pay taxes by check or in cash, and
yesterday 4,800 made their deadlire
appearance. The amount collected
was not disclosed.
Meanwhile, the Treasury reported
that Americans cut their War bond
purchases sharply this month, pos
sibly to meet the second-quarter tax
bill.
Bond Sales Drop.
The Treasury's daily statement
issued today showed that during the
f1rst IA days of this month sales of
War savings bonds totaled $751;
2l8.987. the lowest level in the last
| three quarterly tax payment Pc
RODS.
Redemptions of War savings bonds
so far this month amounted to s64,-
685.963.
June War bond sales are running
about half what they were in MAY
when a total of $779,415,477 was sold
in the first IA days of the month.
April sales for a similar period
amounted to s343, 3,121, ,344
The high total of sales in the first
part of May was attributed in part
to the Second War Loan Drive
which was conducted during the
last three weeks in April.
Although War bond purchases
this month dropped, bond sales for
the fiscal year which began last
July are substantially ahead of
sales for a similar period in the
| 1912 fiscal year. The Treasury's
statement today showed that War
bond sales for the fiscal 1943 year
totaled s1l 1857 7,591 108 compared with
s5'742 o6l.477 in the corresponding
period in the 1912 fiscal year.
Situation is Normal.
| The Treasury records show that
bond sales usually drop and redemp-
tions rise in the period just prior to
the quarterly tax payment dates.
Yesterdays last-minute payments
probably represented the last bulk
+ quarterly payment of Federal in
come taxes. due to the inaugura-
tion on July l of the pay-as-you-
earn collection plan.
On Monday, $4,000 persons bought
money orders valued at S1.1l3,OOO,
which established a new single day S
record here. That figure was $4,000
higher than the value of orders pur-
chased on March Is. Yesterday Dis
trict post Offices sold 34S51 money
orders valued at Sl024,892.
Contributing to the record two
day payment were thousands of Gov
ernment employees who drew paw

the increased number of taxpayers
under a broadened Federal tax base
far surpassed any previous District

1000 District Employees
Face Pay|ess Payday

More than 1000 District Govern
ment employees were listed today
among Government workers who
will be payless when checks are due
in the next day or so because of
delay in passage by Congress of
the deficiency bill, it was indicated
today by a partial checkup made by
District Auditor A. r. Pilkerton.
Some municipal workers already
have felt the pinch, going payless
in the past week because pay raises
authorized by Congress earlier in
the fiscal year had caused salary
funds to be used up at faster rate
than was contemplated year ago.
Among those not expected to re-
ceive their checks on time are more
than $50 employees of the school sys-
tenn. including 700 janitors, 134
clerks and % custodians; So en-
ployes of the superintendent of Dis
trict buildings; 81 in the electrical
department.; number in scattered
agencies and institutions: and 12l
per diem workers.
Mr. Pilkerton estimated that 80
per cent of all District government
employees would be affected unless
the deficiency appropriation is
passed soon.

Mr. Braggiotti, first to play swing

Our American composers should
know and feel the influence of swing

today. Otherwise they will be in

posers 1t is, essential to appreciate
the great masters. but it is equally
important to appreciate swing music.
Swing has a freedom, an expression,
a character, that is wholly Ameri-

sody," composed by Br. Braggiotti.
