Bonus Break Hurls
 Panic into c. o. P.
(Continued from Page One)

The President has been informed in turn that Congress will pass over his veto whatever bill the Senate and House agree upon finally if he decides to withhold his approval of it. Counting On Veto.
 The President emphasized his stand on the Bonus as final and decisive" at a weekend conference he had at the White House with Senator Lodge, the Republican leader Of the Senate and other administration spokesmen. He was just as frankly informed that a canvass of Congress showed clearly and unmistakably that there would not be enough votes to sustain his veto once the Bonus Bill was passed.
 Some Republican leaders expressed the hope that the McCumber-F'ordne Bonus Bill. which has been endorsed by the American Legion. can be so amended as to secure the Presidents s signature, but the undercurrent of opinion in Congress is that in view or the overwhelming opposition to the Sales Tax in both Senate and House, that there is not much chance or thlS being accomplished.
 G. O. P. Leaders Worried.
 Administration "whips'' are frank ly worried over the situation. They would gladly defer final action on the bonus until the next session, so as to avoid the danger of an open split be- tween the President and the Repubh- can maority of Congress before the November CongreSsi onal elections. They would welcome having the bill tied up In conference after its ex- pected passage by the Senate until 1t would be too late to send it to the President before the end of this ses- sion.
 They confessed they do o+ relish the prospect of the Republican party being divided on the bonus question during a Congressional campaign which is already giving the admlnis- tration forces deep concern. They declared the effect of a majority Of Republicans in Congress joining with the Democrats in overriding the Pres ident's veto of an imp ortant legisla- tive measure might prove politically disastrous in November to a number of Republican Senators and Repre- sentatives who are up for reelection. Although the Senate is scheduled to tackle the bonus when 1t reconVenes Wednesday, following the tnree-day adjournment, the lack of quorum, due to the absence of Senators on va cation jaunts, may compel another adjournment until the following Mon day.
 Meanwhile both proponents and opponents of the bonus are prepar- ing for the hot legislative battle which Republican leaders asserted would result in the passage of the McCumTber- Fordney bill. however modified, by substantial majority at the end of a week or two. Some Sem ators said they thought it would be diposed of in less than a week.
