suitable to what he sees m the nation's needs. He does not intend to back down in his fight with Gamer. He declared in his statement earlier in the week attacking the Speaker's stand on certain phases of relief that he would not let congress get away without passing some aid to the country's needs. However, if congress sends the Wagner-Garner relief bill to him with the one major objectionable item in it, the "individual loans" phase—he will veto it. The chief executive hopes that the bilk however, will go to conference again for revision. He does not w-ant to be forced to use the veto—but there will be no hesitancy at the White House if the bill comes to him in its present form, as passed Thursday in the house. If that happens, and he sends it back to congress, and adjournment then is voted without adopting relief measures, the President will call a special session immediately; it was learned on unquestionable authority.
