SENATE After Voting to Override President, Sen. Harreld Changes Position WASHINGTON, May 13.—The Bursum pension bill, vetoed by President Harding and President Coolidge, was reintroduced in the senate late today, a few hours after that body had sustained the Coolidge veto. The maximum pension under the vetoed bill was $75 per month. Senator Bursum cut it to $60 in the new bill. President Coolidge estimated the bill he vetoed would have cost the government nearly half a billion. By the narrow margin of a single vote—and that secured by a senator changing his vote at the last minute—the senate today sustained President Coolidge's veto of the Bursum pension bill, which would have granted considerably increased pensions to the veterans of the Mexican, Civil and Spanish-American wars. The vote was 53 to 28 after Senator Harreld, Hop. of Okla., who originally had voted to override the president's veto, corrected his vote to sustain the veto. Harreld's vote as cast originally would have made the ballot 54 to 27 and given the two-thirds majority necessary to override a presidential veto. The vote was taken amid great disorder. Senators, tellers and newspapermen who were keeping a close check on the balloting as it proceeded on the roll call, knew the bill was passed over the president's veto as soon as the last name was called. The tabulation was 54 to 27. In the midst of a hubbub and buzz of excitement Senator Harreld arose and asked the teller how he had voted and was told he voted affirmatively. "Well, I desire to be recorded in the negative," said the Oklahomaan. Thus, in a twinkling, the defeat of President Coolidge's veto of the measure was turned into a victory.
