Hearst Replies to Charges
Made by Authors League
American Editorial Says His
Magazines Don't Demand
Film Rights to Stories

An answer, in the form Of an edi-
torial. to certain charges made on Fri
day by the Authors League against
the policy employed by the Hearst
magazines in buying manuscripts, ap-
pears in this mornings issue of The
New York American
The reply appears under the head:
"Mr. Hearst Adopts Resolutions on the
Authors League" In this editorial Mr..
Hearst denies that his magazines, di-
rectly or indirectly, have any interest
in the international Story Company,
which was recently formed. He also
states that the Cosmopolitan Magazine
and the other magazines of the Hearst
group do not refuse to buy all stories
for which they do not also purchase
the moving picture rights, and that the
moving picture rights, if desired, are
paid for in addition to the agreed pub
lication rights.
The committee of the league which
issued the edict against Hearst pub
lications is scored for mot knowing
what it was talking about" and it is
declared that "the fulminations Of the
committee are unworthy of considera-
tion "

War Bonus Bill
~
Sent to Senate
By yC'or,,nittee
Revenue Features to- Make
Compensation Provisions
Effective Are Stripped
From Fordney Measure
Passage Held Doubtful
Money Probably Would Be
Raised by Taxation or
by q Special Bond Issue

From The Tri5ancsS WaShin0tos Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-With but
four full legislative days left for it's
consideration, the Senate Finance
Committee to-day reported to the Sem
ate the Fordney soldiers bonus bill.
Before reporting it, however, the COM
mitsee stripped it of the revenue feat
urss needed to put the compensation
provisions into effect.
Practically, the bill, as reported
consisted of authorization without an
appropriation for the cash bonus and
Of the four other features of the Ford
nay bill. The cash bonus feature
would not become effective until jan
uary /, 1928
One Of the plans under consideration
in Congress for the payment of the
bonus is to make use of the interest on
.he loans TO the Allies. These loans
amount to approximately $4,000 OO0,-
900 and the interest thereon would be
af great help in meeting the pay. How
ever, in view of the uncertainties both
Of the payment Of this interest and the
time when it will be paid, there will
be objection to placing dependence on
it. In the end, it looks as if the money
gosld be raised by either bond issue
or taxation, possibly by both methods.
Much Opposition in Senate
Considerable opposition exists in the
Senate to the bill and it is doubtful
il it can be passed before March 4.
Senator McCumber, in charge of the
bill, will call it up next week and en-
deavor to pass it. Senators Thomas,
Of Colorado, and Williams, of Missis-
sippi, will lead in opposition, but there
is also antagonism in other quarters.
Senator McCumber presented to the
Finance Committee survey of prob
able costs of the measure. It has been
estimated, and the estimates are de-
clsred to be conservative, that to carry
cut the provisions of the measure it
will be necessary to apply from ST.
5O0G0o,010 to S2,o00,o 100000, and that

Taxation Features Eliminated
The bill as reported is virtually the
same as the measure that passed the
House, except that the taxation features
to provide the necessary revenues are
eliminated, The soldier organizations
pushing the bonus agreed to this pro-
cedure, with the view of having the
necessary revenue legislation enacted
at the next session of Congress.
Under the bill the veterans will have
