HOUSE TO BRING

fBy United Press)

Washington, May 27.-By vote of five to four the house committee on rules today voted to recommend suspension of the rules for six days beginning next Saturday, in the hope of bringing the soldiers bonus bill to vote before congress take a recess for the big national conventions.
 If the suspension of the rules is agreed upon by the house, any bill may be brought to final vote after 70 minutes of debate. It would re- quire, however, a two-thirds vote to pass any measure under these special rules.
