[[line]] Another Story, Page 5 [[line]] In a veto message to the House, where the measure originated, the President said "a body of evidence has accumulated indicating that private persons, apparently representing only a very small segment of a great and vital industry, have been seeking to further their own interests by highly questionable activities." "These include efforts," Mr. Eisenhower continued, "that I deem to be so arrogant and so much in defiance of acceptable standards of propriety as to risk creating doubt among the American people concerning the integruty of governmental processes." Mr. Eisenhower pointed out that investigations of gas bill lobbies by Congress and the Department of Justice could not be completed within the 10 day period allowed him to consider legislation. He said that to approve the bill before completion of these investigations "could well create long term apprehension in the minds of the American people" and do "a disservice both to the people and to their Congress." At the outset of his message the president explained that he regretted having to veto the bill "because I am in accord with its basic objectives." "I feel that any new legislation, in addition to furthering the long term interest of consumers in plentiful supplies of gas, should include specific language protecting consumers and their right to fair prices," he said. The chief executive's veto was widely forecast even before he left Washington Wednesday for a holiday here. The President had until Saturday midnight to act on the bill. Otherwise it would have become law automatically without his signature. Associates of the President said he felt "very strongly" against the behind the scene lobbying activity in connection with the bill.

(UP) — President Eisenhower returned to the golf course today for the first time since his heart attack and played nine holes in a creditable but admittedly rusty 47. The chief executive played half of the Glen Arven Country Club course in wet, misty weather which did not dampen his ardor for the game. He said with pronounced feeling, "I've been looking forward to this," as he banged out his first drive of about 200 yards. As the President finished the ninth hole with an 11-over par total score, he confided frankly to John H. Walter, the club professional: A Little Frightened "I'm a little frightened — not only of the strokes, but also, I'm a little frightened of myself." Maj. Gen. Howard Mcc. Snyder, the White House physician who followed the President around the course, heard of this remark by the President and commented, "That is a hell of a heart attack. You're longer getting over the psychological injury than you are the physical." Snyder, however, was pleased by his patient's first post-illness visit to the golf course. "He was a little rough at the start, but he got better as we went along," the doctor said. "He gradually picked up his tempo." The President played the nine holes in about an hour and a half, finishing at noon and then returning to the estate of Treasury Secretary George M. Humphrey for a lunch and a rest.
