HOUSE 0VERRIDES
TAX BILL VETO
Continued from Page One)

Continued from Page One)
Democratic Leader Barley of
Kentucky, Mr.. Roosevelt's former
flag bearer in that chamber.
Supporters Quiet
Members standing by the Presi-
dent were quiet during all the anti
Roosevelt speechmaking in the
House.
The tax veto is the 9th time Mr..
Roosevelt has been overriden in IL
years. He has vetoed over 600 bills,
most of them granting private
claims. His most one-sided set
back at the hands of Congress, al
though it did not match today's in
bitterness, was in 1886, when the
House voted 1926 to 81 to override
his veto of a bill for immediate
payment of the soldier bonus.
The Roosevelt-revolters had 81
more votes than they needed to-
day. To put a law on the books,
over the Presidents objections, re-
ouires a two-thirds vote in both the
House and Senate.
Senate overriding action would
raise Treasury collections to more
than $42, 900, 900, 600 annually, with
the new legislation collecting ST.
300, 900, 900.

LAKE FOREST SET
WITH RIFLE CLUB

Announcement Of the successful
operation at Lake Forest of a Ma
tional Rifle Association chartered
senior rifle clue, already the larg-
est active organization of its kind
in the city, was made yesterday
by officials OF the small arms
training school, who stated that
tie rifle training program, here
tcfore conducted under wraps, had
reached the stage where public
announcement of the clubs acti-
vities could be made as. some
thing tried and proven. ..,s...e.,. - 3
The organization was set UP dur
ing the latter part of 19A3, under
the su<ervision of Edmund Nc
Laurin, veteran expert rifleman
and qualified National Rifle AS
scciation craftsmanship instructor,
ard instruction classes have since
been held weekly. Until the recent
arrival of seventeen 20 calibre
training rifles and an allotment of
olllIllu1llLlOll, IllC Achc L VI CO.. Illl6
Club members were given a thor
ough "dry practice course in the
nomenclature of smallarms firing,
including proper use of rifle sling,
correct positions, correct aiming
and trigger squeeze. The instruc-
ton was supplemented by the
showing OF Army rifle training
films, furnished by the National
Rifle Association and the War De-
pertinent.
With the arrival of the rifles
and ammunition, the members
have transferred their activities to
the modern indoor rifle range
which has been set up in one of
the community buildings. The
back-stops, especially designed for
the purpose and approved by the
National Rifle Association, are
exceptionally safe, officials stated,
in that they are capable of stop
ping much more powerful ammu-
milton than will be used on the
range.

organized under the sponsorship of
the Jaycees.

Skipper of the ship several weeks
ago.

to the Coast Guard station at Kitty
Hawk for two surf boats to be used
by the Sea Scouts. ut is under
stood" he said, that the Coast
Guard has made available these
boats, which they are abandon
ing. 1t is hoped that the boys here
will be given the use of these boats
for scouting purposes, he said.

will be held at the First Presby-
terian church at 7::30 o'clock Thurs

the Cubs Harry Lowrey and the

He solved this neatly by running
Just the major league totals of the
players who were in the 1913 book

There are 70 in that category.
Ihlrty-one of the players whose

Once they were heroes in the
sports world, All America football
players, internationally known
speed boat racers, stable owners
and scullers. Now they are the
fighting masters of the mitelike
PIT boats of the United States Ma
vy-the powerful little men of war
that fought their hearts out in the
Philippines at the outbreak of the
war with Japan.
Among those whose rnmes were
once bywords in the sports world
are big Ernie Pannell of Texas
Aggies, Bernie Crimmins of Notre

Dame football captain; Lou Smith
of California, Torby Macdonald of
Harvard, Cy Taylor of Yale, Ker-

From other sports fields come
Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt of New

Vanderbilt of Honolulu, Turfmen;
R. c. Turnbull of Beverly, N. j.,
holder of the international speed
boat class B championship.
Rich men and poor men, officers
all, they live in tents in the jungle
and pcowl the rivers and inlets
of New Guinea and New Britain
nightly in search of Japanese ship
ping. They eat CT food like every
body else and do their own lau-
dry.
There's is the job of stopping
Japanese barge movements in the
Southwest Pacific. They have vir-
tually stopped them. In the Huon
Peninsula campaign they drove the
Japs mad with their daring raids.
They have repeated in New Brit

the barges with steel and armed
them with rapid fire guns ranging
up to 40 MN. They are escorted
by picket boats that carry anti
tank guns.
Night after night the PTS sneak
up on the Japs and smash their
boats. Since September they have
sunk hundreds of them without the
