1t is significant that both propo-

Senator Smoot said this afternoon
that the President did not display any
particular enthusiasm for the insur-

said the President did not express any
opinion as to the merits OF either of
the two plans before him. but did re-
iterate his willingness to approve OF

Mr.. Smoot. "a detailed statement of

him to express an opinion on II at
this time. My purpose was to get all
my data before the President before

Mr.. Smoot said he emphasized the

strong objections to the MoCumber

their inability to forecast with any de-
gree of accuracy the next move to loot
the Treasury for benefit of minority

A few of them cling to the forlorr
hope that the President may have a
heart and agree to accept the McCum-
Der or Smoot plan in order to save
them from the political wrath of the
American Legion and other bonus
claimants. The fact that the Presi-
dent did not announce his decision re-
garding the McCumber and Smoot
schemes last week. as he intimated he
would do, has encouraged the belief
among some bonus supporters that he
has not entirely closed the door against
them.
