BONUS
 TOENCOUNTfR
 SfNATE'SfURY
iBy the Associated Press,

Washington, March 8.-Republican leaders entrusted with writing the bonus bill and securing it's enactment today disclosed that they are consid- ering the plan of putting it through the house under suspension of rules which would shut off amendments and limit debate to 40 minutes.
 After many weeks of work and worry, the house ways and means committee has apparently evolved a soldier bonus bill upon which it in- tends to stand pat. Chairman Ford ney and his co-workers believe that the measure will encounter only feeble opposition in the house. Just what will happen in the senate, ac- cording to Republican leaders, is in- deed problematical.

announcement that the Great Northern

subsequent recovery. Toward the close
