- 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.

Representative Flood said the peace
resolution was a "pitiful drama of Re
publican leadership." Exception was
taken -by. 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;
