Blnger. March 27 UP)—The Bin-

Drillers immediately began prep-

the obstruction today. The hole
had been cleaned to the top of the

The bridge is a mares nest of

Although indications still point
to a good producer, oil experts
are not yet certain a profitable

Roosevelt Turns Down
Independent Office Bill,
Tells Congress Allow-
ances Exceed Budget
By $228,000,000
' BULLETIN
Washington, Mar. 27 UP)—A
veto by President Roosevelt of
legislation granting increased
allowances to war veterans and
government employes was over-
riden by thr house late toda>.
The senate has yet to act on
the matter, and leaders said
the outcome there is problem-
atical.
Washington. March 27 PP)—Pres-
ident Roosevelt today vetoed the
independent offices appropriation
bill because It carried Increased
allowances for war veterans and
government workers exceeding his
budget by $228,000,000
"I am compelled to take note
of the fact,” he said in a message
to congress, "that in creating this
excess the congress has failed at
the same time to provide a sim-
ilar sum by additional taxation "
PLAN TO RESTORE 29,000
PRESUMPTIVE’ CASES RAPPED
Washington. March 27 (U.R)—'The
veto by President Roosevelt to-
day of the veterans legislation ap-
proved by congress, carried a vig-
orous condemnation of the pro-
posal to restore 29,000 "presump-
tive" cases to the pension rolls
| without' provisions for review or
appeal.
Mr. Roosevelt's theory in revising
the government's attitude toward
veterans' benefits was to eliminate
entirely the practice of "presum-
ing” disabilities to be connected
with war service when in reality
they might have been Incurred
after hostilities had ceased or even
after discharge from the army or
navy.
The economy act of last spring
swept all "presumptive" cases olf
the rolls. 81nce then about 22.000
cases have been restored, leaving
29.000 still off the "presumptive"
lists. The veterans' bill as sent
to the White House would restore
the 29.000. without setting up any
machinery for examining them or
determining the origin of the In-
juries.
Many Abuse* Develop
The President has maintained,
and the veterans' bureau has fur-
nished evidence to back him up.
that majy abuses have developed
under this “presumptive" procedure
His message was concerned large-
ly with this system and was ex-
pected to re-state an earlier de-
cision that the administration was
prepared to put back the "presump-
tive" cases only when they were
made subject to review.
In attempting a compromise on
veterans' legislation the adminis-
tration was willing to Assume the
burden of proof In presumptive
cases—that Is to be required to
furnish proof that the disabilities
were not service connected before
they could be removed'from the
rolls.
Flatly Refused
But the administration has flat-
ly refused to consider any prop-
osition which did not carry with
It this arrangement for reviewing
all "presumptive" case*
The Independent offices appro-
priation bill, to which the vet-
erans' amendments were attacked,
also carried provisions for gradual
restoration of the 15 per cent
government pay reduction.
Both these matters, as well an
the appropriations for the Inde-
pendent offices—Including the em-
I rrgency relief units and even the
