Murray Sees Danger
In House Overriding
OF Veterans Pay Veto

Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee today
predicted the Houses overriding
of the presidential veto of the
postal veterans pay raise measure
would result in similar demands
from other veterans in Govern
ment.
Over Mr.. Murray's objections,
the House yesterday, by a vote
Of 2l3 to u, overrode President
Truman's veto of the bill giving
within-grade pay boosts to veter-
ans who entered the postal service
for the first time after the war.
The legislation, which affects
approximately 100000 postal-field
workers, about 5000 of them in
Washington, now goes to the Sen
ate, where a similar two-thirds
vote is needed. The Senate is
expected to vote on the bill in a
day or so. Meanwhile, the various
postal employe unions are work
ing feverishly to try to have as
many friendly Senators as pos
sible on the floor when the bill
comes up.
Mr.. Murray said that If the
Senate also overrides the veto it
would open the way for similar
bill for other veterans in Govern
ment who entered the Govern
ment for the first time after the
war.
1T certainly would seem that
Congress could not single out only
one. group of veterans for this
special benefits and ignore the
others If they ask for the same
consideration" the Tennessee
Democrat declared. 1.-THE House
has set q dangerous precedent.
In vetoing the measure last FRI
day, President Truman called it
IAN indirect bonus" and said it
represented "a far-reaching step
In an undesirable direction"
