- Bonus leaders in congress de-
Ynoupce the plan OF Senator JOIN
Sharp Williams of Mississippi whlch
would prevent any war veteran nov
receiving a salary of $4,000 or more
from receiving government gratuity
,,nder the McCumber bill now pending
in the senate. There is little chance
that IL will be passed, 1t Is SAID. Inc
move, however, strengthened the posi-
tion of those opposing the bonus III
y
wider subject for debate through Wnlci,
ihe anti bonus group might delay final
massage of the measure. Bonus ao-
therents take the stand that bonus Is
nothing more than "back pay TO SOL
idiers. nand are unwilling to discrim-
innate between eligibles on salary
grounds. Williams, however, is pre-
Shared to press his amendment, ana
will have the backing of the anu
Ibonus group led on the Democratic
Side by Senator Underwood OF Ala
bama.

sministration leaders. They had plan

stion and not go any further on the
Muscle Shoals matter at this session.
