Provided Subcommittee Report
IL Adopted by House
Of Representatives
THREE MILLION SOLDIERS
WILL RECEIVE BENEFIT
Money to Come From One-Half
of One Per Cent ON Sales
BY Herbert Walker.

Omitted Press Correspondent
Washington, April 10. cash
bonus Of one dollar, for each days
service, would be given approximately
three Million. of the four million
eight hundred thousand men in the
army, navy and marines during the
war, under a plan that has been ap-
proved by the bonus subcommittee of
the house ways and means committee,
it was learned today.
The program which will be sub
mitted to the full committee for ap-
prevail during this week, calls for sn
expenditure Of slightly less than one
billion dollars, which is to be raised
by tax of one-half Of one per
cent on all sales.
It is considered very likely that this
plan will be submitted to the house
in the very near future. With a
purpose of limiting bonus to those
who endured heavy financial sacrifices
during the war, the subcommittee
has eliminated several classes of SER
vice men from groups entitled to
benefits including all officers, men
assigned to industrial plants, those
who served less than sixty days, men
in regular army before the war and
men who while in the army received
compensation from employers or bust
ness interests.
