Barkley Quits
As Democratic
Senate Leader
Thunderous Applause
Follows Denunciation
Of Tax Bill Veto
WASHINGTON, Feb 23 —<;P>—
In startling revolt against the
White House, Senator Albert W.
Barkley of Kentucky climaxed a
bitter denunciation of President
Roosevelt's tax veto today by an-
i nouncing his resignation as Demo-'
cratic leader after 12 years of
carrying "the flag of Prankllu
Delano Roosevelt.”
Thunderous applause swept both
the Democratic and Republican
sides of the senate chamber when
the Kentuckian, who has been ad-
ministration leader since 1937. as-
sailed Mr. Roosevelt's tax veto as
**a deliberate and calculated as-
sault upon the honesty and In-
tegrity” of congressmen
After seven years of classical
harmony with his party's chief-
tain. Barkley’s vehement break
with the president literally stun-
ned political Washington and start-
ed a wave of speculation on the
effects this intra-party fight might
have on 1944 presidential elections.
Another Slap in Prospect
In the immediate future, another
j slap at the president which might
widen still further the breach be-
tween the White House and the
Democratic congressional major-
ities appeared in prospect.
This was the likelihood that sen-
ate Democrats would give Barkley
a vote of confidence and retain
him as leader. ,
Senators Bennett C. Clark (Demo-
crat, Missouri) and J. W. Bailey
i Democrat. North Carolina) pre-
dicted immediately that Barkley
would be "unanimously re-elected"
tomorrow when Democrats meet
to receive the Kentuckian’s resig-
nation.
"We might accept his resigna-
tion but he'll be elected unani-
mously to succeed himself," Clark
told reporters
Anger Is Shouted
At a press conference ioliowlng
his address on the floor. Barkley
Insisted again and again:
“I don't want to be re-elected.”
Barkley threw down the leader-
ship after a bitter and sarcastic
attack on the president
He shouted his anger at the
president's veto message and at
one time termed Mr. Roosevelt's
own tax goals as "fantastic.”
"Other members may do as they
please." Barkley shouted. “I do
not propose to take this unjusti-
fiable assault lying down "
Would Override Veto
He turned to his colleagues and
shouted: "If the congress of the
United States has any self respect
left, It will override this veto and
enact this tax bill Into law!
''I am one of those who pleaded
with the president not to veto
this bill." he declared. “I not only
advised him not to veto it. I im-
plored him."
"I didn't then believe, nor do
t now believe, that the veto he
has sent to congress is justified.
“I make no apology lor that."
