sion of a “a healthy and mutually

Veto Threat
Just “Wolf” Cry
WASHINGTON, (JPi — House
Republican leader Halleck of In
d ana took a swing Friday at talk
A veto threats against various
big bills.
The Republican Congress, he
told reporters, intends to “write
good bills and send them to the
White Houes” regardless of veto
talk.
“To continuously hold up a veto
as a threat,” Halleck said, “is a
usurption of the legislative pre
rogatives of Congress.
“I don’t think I should run down
to the White House on every issue
and ask the President what kind
of legislation he will take. That
would make us another rubber
stamp Congress such as we had
when I first came here fin 1935).”
President Truman, Halleck con
ceded, never has said in advance
that he would veto a bill unless it
were tailored to his orders.
But, the party leader continued,
some legislators who seem to
think they speak for Mr. Truman
have been warning of vetoes of
tax. labor, portal to portal pay,
wool and other bills.
“They may be bear stories, for
all I know,” he said. “Maybe they
rre iust yelling ‘wolf.’ After at),
the President signed the portal
pay bill.”
