Senator Willis As FDR Veto
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY. Times Staff Writer * WASHINGTON, June 26—Mildmannered Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) was presiding over the senate during the most tense and dramatic moment that the 78th congress has faced. That -was yesterday afternoon when Presiderit Roosevelt's veto of the war labor disputes bill was re-
Senator Tom Connallyi (D. Tex.) asked for the floor so that action could proceed at once. In his role of presiding officer, Senator Willis then read out the formula for the
\ '\They came from the Republican|veto vote. It was a motion to ac- - side, and constituted a raspberry |cept or reject: A two-thirds vote
was necessary to override the veto. Senator Connally urged overriding in a short and firey speech in which “Senator Carl A. Hatch (D. N. M) concurred. The roll was called. Senator Willis yielded the gavel to Vice President Wal-
jail if he calls another coal strike. Congress has been trying to crack down on Lewis since 1937 when there was a series of sit-down strikes for which his Congress of Industrial Organizations’ members were charged with responsibility. Each time, until yesterday, the administration prevented congressional action. Labor leaders other than Lewis and unions other than those led by him have ‘contributed on occasion since 1937 to the frustrated embitterment of congress.
But there would have been no war labor disputes bill in the first place if Lewis had not licked Mr. Roosevelt in settlement of the captive mine strike on Pearl Harbor day, 1941, and thumbed his nose at the war labor board through almost three months of off-and-on coal strike crises this year. :
Vote No Confidence
In rejecting the veto, congress in effect .voted no confidence in the hPresident’s handling of Lewis, and nominated itself to handle him. The vote was coincident with reports of banked furnaces in the steel mills, hints that citizens might be chillier next winter because of the series of strikes and realization of the fact that about half the miners still were idle.
The bill was passed and sustained over veto by a coalition of Democrats and Republicans in which southern Democrats, notably, were for strike curbs in both house and senate. A similar combination has hammered the administration hard

Both he and Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) voted to override the veto. This was done by a vote of 56 to 25.
When the house took similar action, 244 to 108, Reps. Noble J. Johnson and Gerald W. Landis, Republicans, missed the roll call Reps. Louis Ludlow and Ray J. Madden, Democrats, and Rep. Charles M. LaFolette, Republican, voted to sustain the veto. Those voting to override were Reps. Charles A. Halleck, Robert A. Grant, George W. Gillie, Forest A. Harness, Earl Wilson and Raymond S. Springer, all Republicans. Rep.. Harness, : with his Democratic colleague Rep. Howard W. Smith of Virginia, were responsible for section K8 of the bill, which was cited by the president as his reason for vetoing it.
whelming support to war appropriations and such like. In the house and senate the bill got more votes on the veto issue than on original passage: 56 to 25 in the senate and 244 to 108 in the house on the veto; 55 to 22 and 219 to 122 on original passage. Leaders of both the C. I. O. and the American Federation of Labor are expected to study the law immediately to evaluate its effect on the war labor board and to discuss methods of contesting it. The A. F. of L, C. I. O. and the United Mine Workers already have joined in court challenges of restrictive labor laws enacted by state legislatures this year.

ognized as formidable foes by institutions many times the size of the local university. But Coach Hinkle left for the duration and.into his shoes stepped “Wally” Middlesworth, formerly assistant football coach. However, Mr. Middlesworth’s reign was short—he entered the army last August. Then the task of athletic director and all-around coach fell to faithful and capable Frank “Pop” Hedden, for many years Butler's freshman coach and physical education director.
Then Come Bluejackets
By this time the navy had taken over the fieldhouse. The mammoth athletic plant, long the center of athletic events for Indianapolis as well as Butler, was transformed igto a signal school for the bluejackets last June. Butler’s athletes and coaches were moved out bag and baggage. And the navy moved in—using the fieldhouse for sleeping, recreation and instruction, Jordan hall for classes, and the Campus club for- eating. This was all provided by Butler on a cost basis. When school started last fall, “Pop” Hedden's task was no small one. He moved his athletic office to the basement of Jordan hall, built a gymnasium and dressing room there and went to work,
Hampered by Injuries
Facing the toughest football schedule in the school’s history and hampered by the loss of varsity men and injuries, the Bulldogs won two games and lost six, four of the losses by only one touchdown. Four freshmen were used regularly in the varsity games. Then both “Pop” and the team were hit hard when their teammate, Andy Williams, a letter man, died as a result of football injuries. But “Pop’s” real worries came during basketball season. With no basketball floor either for practice or scheduled games, the netmen traveled by streetcar 15 miles a day to the Pennsy gym to practice. The
basketball contests were played at
the - Technical high school gym where it was impossible to practice to become acquainted with the floor.
Win 4, Lose 9
“Every game we played was like playing away from home,” “Pop” declared. But even then the team’s record was nothing to be ashamed of. The
season’s record was four wins and
nine losses, and the opponents included Purdue, Great Lakes, Indiana and Notre Dame, a tough schedule for anybody’s ball team. According to “Pop,” if his ball club had just had some place to practice, it would have ranked with any Butler team. In track the team coached itself after Coach Ray Sears left for the marines. ’ Floyd Coaches Baseball The baseball team, coached by “Pop’s” assistant, Walter Floyd,
| came through with three wins,
three losses and one tie. As for next season, one athlete is returning—a 316 pound football player who, “Pop” says, was turned down by the army because they couldn’t get a suit to fit him. Pri

Things are going to be better.” When the navy moved out of the fieldhouse this spring and the army air corps moved in, Butler took it in its stride. The 1000 air crew students are receiving their pre-flight academic training under Butler instructors, their flying experience at the Hoosier airport, and their physical hardening under “Pop” Hedden and Toy Jones, “Pop's” assistant. Already many of the aviation students, who have come from New England, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas and California, vow they'll come back to Butler after they've won the war. : In the short time that the air corps has heen at Butler, the unit has been commended as one of the
outstanding aviation schools in the country. : Other phases of Butler's war effort have included a scrap drive which netted 100 tons, and a war
bond drive which brought in $100,501 in actual cash, far exceeding the original goal of $3000. In the latter drive Butler was recognized as the first school in the state to go over the $100,000 mark in war bond sales. Besides this the Butler Association of Women Students purchased a $10,000 war bond. Under the direction of C. R. Maxam, registrar and director of admissions, the school is participating in the navy’s V-1 program which leads to V-5, the air corps, and V-7, deck officer training. Butler also is accredited for enlisting army and marine corps reserves whereby students may continue their college courses. During the last year between 40 and 50 per cent of the men students were in the reserves.
Courses Complete
The school’s war emergency committee composed of faculty members and students conducted war forums, and nine civilian pilot training gourses have been completed. Classes were held for aliens applying for citizenship, and 15 war training courses in management and accounting have been available for employees of firms fulfilling war contracts. First aid, air raid training and nutrition courses have been offered for students and civilians, and a drive to recruit blood donors for the Red Cross brought volunteers from the student ranks. The Butler coeds have become USO cadettes, Liberty Belles and Red Cross staff assistants, and the| fraternity men have yielded their houses to the army men for dormitories. ’
Keep Service Men Posted
With 1657 Butler alumni and former students in the service who can be accounted for and 24 faculty members, the Butler Correspondence association keeps the service men posted on Butler events. The alumni office sends out its magazine monthly, with three or four pages devoted to news from the army camps. When the men come home on leave, they find President Ross eager to greet them and the alumni office a good spot to catch up on the news of . their former classmates. Of the 1657 men in service, 13 have been killed, either in action or in training.
Expect Lighter Enrcoliment
Now in the midst of its summer school session, Butler officials expect the summer enrollment to drop from a last year’s 740 to around 500. This session, together ‘with the presummer and post-summer sessions and the regular fall and spring semesters will allow a student to receive his college degree in three years. The school has not adopted a heavy Saturday and night class schedule since approximately 50 per cent of its students are employed outside of school. Next year’s efircllment is expected to reach a total of 900 with the estimated 125-150 male students being 4-F’s and -17-year-olds. However, Butler is not slighting its regular students and academic work in favor of the war effort, “We are going on with our regular academic program for whatever students there are,” President Ross said. “The university has two functions in a time like this—to aid the government wherever possible in its wartime education program and to keep up our regular educational program to the best of our abili Rid
