*LABOR VETO

’TILL MONDAY
(Continued From Page One)
— pair with Wagner and two more
to pair with Thomas.
'**7 Taft, smiling confidently, pre
dicted that the veto win b£V over*
ridden “by three or four vo’tes.’’
This was the margin forecast by
.toother supporters of the bill, too.
Taft expressed the belief that
'7,7 the sharp floor fight had streng
thened his side, rather than weak
ened it, and told newsmen:
't:V “We’re all right. The line is
holding very well indeed.’’
The lineup had. been 54 to 17,
.IV,more than a two-thirds majority,
A when the senate passed the bill
“ June 6.
777 The agreement for a vote came
77 when Senator Morse. (R.-Ore.)
gave up what he acknowledged
,A as a filibuster “to assure unlim
n;.. jted debate” after holding the
floor ten hours non-stop.
It followed an hour of whis
pered conferences on the floor
and dickering in the cloakrooms
among Senator Wherry (R.-Neb.)
the GOP whip, and a dozen other
leaders cf both sides. Wherry said
that his earlier experience in
“trading mules” helped him to j
win the agreement.
The House voted yesieiaay
override the veto as soon as Mr.
Truman’s blistering message had
been read. Similar action by the
Senate thus would make the' bill
law as soon as the officers of j
congress signed it.
The bill’s supporters demonstrat- j
cd during the night that they can
«leep on cloakroom couches with
the best of them. Each tinie some
one forced a nose count, they
came out in numbers. The presi
dent’s supporters were less evid
ent as the night wore on with one
attempt after another for a vote
agreement being blocked.
The usual show of the senate
grinding ahead without respite, its
first marathon of this kind since
1927, brought crowds of sight-seers
to the galleries. The bobby-sox,
• all-night movie crowd had pro
vided most of the few spectators
■who stayed through until dawn.
While the senate argued, admin
istration anl labor leaders were
busy attempling to build pressure
on senators. Telegrams poured in
after Mr. Truman’s radio talk,
counteracted in part by messages
Inspired by Taft in a bristling
radio reply 30 minutes later.
At the White House several hun
dred telegrams were received.

Neuse River Claims
Life Of Richlands
Fisherman Yesterday
(Special To The Star-News)
NEW BERN, June 21. — Leo
Miller, 24, of Route 2, Richlands,
drowned todav when he fell off the
stern of a boat when it hit a snag
in in Neuse River near Fort Barn

CHURCHILL TO BE ORANDPAW
LONDON, June 21.—(A5)—The
former Mary Churchill is expect
ing a baby, the London Star re
ported today. The 24-year-old
daughter of Winston Churchill,
married in February to Capt
Christopher Soames, declined com
ment on the report.
retary, reported they ran about
5 to 1 in support o£ the veto.
Senator Byrd (D.-\?a.), support
er of the bill, called attention in
a statement to what ne said was
“terrific pressure exerted upon
the senate.”
“The result of sustaining the
president’s veto might well be
calamitous,” he declared. “It
would extinguish the last hope for
worthwhile labor reform legisla
tion for a long time to come. If
we cannot manage John L. Lewis
at home, how can we expect to
protect ourselves against Joe
Stalin abroad?”
Senator Flanders (R.-Vt.) an
nounced he will vote to override
the veto although he is “dubious”
about some of the bill’s provisions.
Flanders said he will introduce
some proposed revisions in the
measure, if it becomes lav. He
did not specify Iticse.
Morse made a point-by-point at
tack on provisions of the bill, fol
lowing much the same line the
president used.
The president particularly as
sailed a provision under which the
government could obtain 80-day
injunctions against national paraly"
sis strikes, such as a coal walk
out.

SENORA PERON
LIKE ELEANOR
Likeness Mentioned In Brit
ish Discumion Of
Welcome
LONDON. June 21—(/P)—The Sun
day Pictorial, which said in its
June 15 issue that Senora Eva
Duarte Peron, wife of Argentina’s
president, would not be welcome!
in Britain, published a rejoinder
tonight by Lord Strabolgi, laborite
peer, declaring she would be.
Senora Peron is expected to visit
Britain July 15 to 19 after visiting
Italy and other countries on the
continent. A reception committee
has been formed here under the
chairmanship of Lord Davidson,
chairman of the Hispanic council.
The council reported tonight that
it had issued a memorandum to
its staff saying that “the Hispanic
'’'vncil is an unofficial organiza
tion and does not pretend to know
a. official policy is except when
it is announced,” but that it under
stood the government welcomed
Senora Peron’s visit.
Strabolgi’s article in the Sunday
Pictorial said:
“I can best describe her as the
South American Eleanor Roosevelt.
She is intensely interested in poli
tics and, in particular, has played
a considerable part already in her
own country in encouraging im
provement of hospitals, the open- j
Ing of schools for orphan children, j
housing for the poorer sections of
the population and homes for the j
aged, xxx
“How true is it to say the pres
ent government in the Argentina
is Fascist?
“Admittedly the country came
into the war very late, but so
did some of our other allies. Ad
mittedly, also, there was delay in
rooting out Nazi and other Ger
man influences. Certain phases of
the government certainly are dic
tatorial, but we must remember
that this is South America, where
Democracy is comparatively
young.
“On the other hand, the election
last year was fairly conducted and
it gave Peron and his government
a large majority. He has shown
himself friendly to the Jews and
has discouraged anti-semitism.
“I believe the natural courtesy
and hospitality of the British people
will insure a warm-hearted re- ]
ception for this talented lady, who,
I am confident, is only desirous of |
strengthening the links between
her country and ours.”

SAN FRANCISCO, June 21 —04>)
—Nathan I’. Feinsinger, Labor
Department conciliator announced
today a “complete settlement” of
the maritime dispute whcih a few

upon this morning, he said, on
the basis -of recent agreement on
the east coast.

ered a routine stop that may be
taken over the week-end.
