Veto Brings
Serious Split

Washington, Feb. GINS A
majority Of the House Ways and
Means Committee, yoicing resent
ment that famed through Congress
in the most serious Administration
split of New Deal history, de-
nounced President Roosevelt's tax
bill veto today as an 'indefensible"
act dictated by irresponsible
theorists" in the White House.
In joint statement reflectiug
the sentiments OF 10 OF the tax
writing committees rs members.
Democrats and Republicans called
upon Congress to retain its con-
stitutional taxing authority by over
riding the veto.
Barring some unforeseen change
OF feeling, best estimates were that
the House will muster the neces-
sary votes tomorrow to pass the
two million, 315 million dollar reve-
nue. bill over the Presidents objec-
ton. House Republican Leader
Martin conceded 1t was quite pos
sible" this was what the President
desired.
The veto was the first tax bill
rejection in congressional history.
Advance predictions that the veto
message marked a turning point
in election year relations between
the White House and Capitol Hill
were borne out by the swift and
violent reactions in the House and
Senate. Administration tax lead
ers on both sides broke with Mr..
Roosevelt on the issue.
More significant. it became def
mite that Senate Majority Leader
Barley would take the floor and
recommend a vote against the
President II the override move sue
ceeGs in the House tomorrow.
Speaker Rayburn. who, like Bark
ley, had urged the President to
sign the tax bill. was silent. There
appeared to be little II any efforts
by Administrator lieutenants to
corral votes in advance.
The Ways and Means Commit
tees statement was issued by Rep.
Doughton Cd n. c., S0-year-old
chairman, and Rep. Knutson (R)
Mimi. its senior minority member.
following a meeting attended by
10 committeeman. 1t opened day
of debate scheduled to the hilt with
promised attacks upon Mr.. Roose-
velt's veto message.
The statement said the veto
placed before the nation the ques-
ton whether Congress shall have
the taxing power, or:
whether such power Is TO be
surrendered and turned over to. or
be dictated by. a small group of
irresponsible theorists who advised
the President on taxation and who
seem to have lost patience with
constitutional government by law
and who favor government by exc
cutive decree"

There are serious implications
