Suddenly .the Philippine in­ surrection, lead by Aguinatdo, broke* out in: “all its -fury. President McKin­ ley! appealed to the soldiers, awaiting emjterhation fo r jw.me, to aid in' put­ ting down the insurrection and promised they would receive, in cash a s : additional compensation, the cost o f their transportation to and from the states. The troops responded al- 1 most to a man to President McKinley's appeal. However, by the time the in­ surrection/ was crushed and the .Soldiers’ arrived back in the United States, President McKinley was dead, Victim Of an assassin's bullet. For years the SpanisH-American War Vet- ' erans involved have- endeavored to. obtain the travel pay promised them. Juat:« few .weeks ago Congress pass­ ed & -bill fulfilling President McKin­ ley's .pledge and making payment to, the Veterans. The bill went to Presi­ dent -Roosevelt, who, unexpectedly vetoed it. Last week both the House aA&Senate, by almost unanimous vote, pawed the measure over the Presi­ dent’s veto—the firat time a Presi­ dential ■veto has been overridden at this tension o f Congress. -1 ----- ' President Roosevelt's recently an­ nounced reorganization plan placing the Civil Aeronautics Authority under the Deportment o f Commerce has brought -a storm o f ■protest in Con­ gress. The Civil Aeronautics Authori­ ty -w a s created an an independent agency as a result o f disclosures a fdw years, ago o f mishandling o f aviation afljeuw, which were then supervised by th f Department'of Commerce. Since the creation o f the Civil Aeronautics Authority a s an independent agency, aviation has made a remarkable re- cotdsnd growth in this country. Only last 'Hatch, a nation-wide celebration o f -one year o f commercial aviation Without the death or serious injury qf a single passenger was celebrated. Refutations have been introduced in Congress to reject the President's re­ organization order transferring Civil AeroUoutics Authority. The rejection o f .the plan by Congress, which new seems almost certain, will mean that the,Civil Aeronautics Authority will be continued in its’ present form—an in­ dependent agency subject to no other division o f *government exxcept the Goj*grees« The House speptall of last week de­ bating? amendments to the Wages and Hopes law, which came before that body Under a peculiar rule at a series o f aabetitute Mils. One o f the worst parifowntary tangles in many years ensued With the final result being that thecrigioal Norton Bill, amending the Wdgw-and Hours law, was recommit­ ted to the Labor Committee. The pro­ posed Norton Bill, s » finally voted up­ on, contained provisions that Would have taken away from agrieohure, and thwptaoessmhi o f agricultural products mapp ademptions and privileges al­ ready enjoyed under the preient Wag**andHear#Act* m hwtp**o) Bales, on grounds o f cruelty and gross neglect; Dorothy Kadel from George Kadel, on charges o f cruelty and neg­ lect, with the plaintiff restored to her maiden name.
