Washington, June 23.

The Republican labour reform bill became law'

over President Truman's objections when the Senate overrode the President's veto of the measure, with six votes to spare.

The most sweeping set of labour restrictions in the nation's history automatically went into the statute books at 3.15 p.m. EDT when the Senate President, Arthur H. Vandenburg, formally announced that the chamber voted 68 to 25 to override the Presidential veto. This was six votes more than the necessary two- thirds majority of the 91 Senators voting.

GUNS OF RETRIBUTION STILL BARKING

(By Robert Musel)

London, June 23.

The guns of war are silent now but all over Europe the guns of retribution still bark as the firing squad and hangman's noose kill by twos and threes the Quislings whose hands are stained with the blood of thousands.
