- VE'N SUSTAINED Y HOUSE VOTES Twenty-nine Short in 'Effort to Over. ride. No Surprise Caused. Washington, May 28.e-iLacking 29 votes of the necessary two-thirds, the house failed today to pass the Knox resolution ending the war with Gor many and Austria over President Wil son's veto. The result was not .unexpected. The vote was 220 to 152. Seventeen Demo cats Joined with Republicans in at tempting to override the veto, while two Republicans voted with the Demo crats to sustain it. 'Preceding final action, there was an hour of debate attacking the Repub lican leadcrship of congress. Repre sentative Connally, Texas, challenged the -party in control to present a straight resolution for repeal of all wartime legislation and promised Democratic support in an effort to ;pass it in .the event of a presidential veto. Representative Mondell, Republican leader, came back with a challenge to the Texas member to give proof of his ability to "deliver Democratic help," but the answer was lost in hov. e -from both sides of the chanber. Later in the day, however, Mr. Con nally threw into the house hopper a Joint resolution providing for repeal .of every bit of wartime legislation ef fective on date of passage. Soon after Representative Akerinnn, Republican, New Jersey, presented a similar reso lution. Neither resolution is expected to be called up before the summer re cess or adjournment. Only four speeches were made in the veto fight, Chairman porter of the for eign affairs committee and Represen tiitive londcll pleading with members to override the veto, while Representa tive Flood of Virginia, ranking Demo crat on the committee, and Represen tative Conally, also a member, urged the house to sttond by the president.

Republicai members to his reference to the senate action on the treaty and especially to his statement that the foreign relations committee had been packed. "If you want repeal of war time leg islation put in your resolution,'' M'r. Flood dedlared, "then stay here and repearl it, not adjourn." The president, he said, had given full reason why the veto should stand. Ho characterized the peace resolution as "hypocritical and insincere" and said among other things 'it would cause the United States to lose all Germani ships seized in tils country during the war. Mr. Flood urged "every real American" in the house to vote to sus tain the veto. The Democrats voting to override the veto were: Representatives Ashbrook, Ohio; Oladwell, New York; Carew, New York; Cullen, New York; Dooling, New York; Gallivan, Massachusetts; Ganley, New York;.
