BONUS BILL TO

6dent Of Passage Of
Measure by House

WASHINGTON. D. c., Feb 1.-THE
outstanding development today in the
bonus legislation situation was the un-
expected announcement in the house by
Chairman Fordney of the ways and
means committee that the bonus bill
would be ready for presentation to a
caucus OF house Republicans within
the next ten days.
A moment after this statement was
made there was a shout from the Re
publican side of the chamber when the
chairman lifting his voice to its high
est pitch declared the soldier measure
would be passed by a Republican
house. Breaking into the thick of
row over charges by Representative
Gardner of Texas. ranking Democrat
committee. that the bill was being
framed secretly with the aid of rep
resentatives Of the American Legion.
Mr.. T'ordney shouted to the Demo-
cratic side that the Republicans did
not deem it proper to seek advice on
the bonus bill from those unalterably
opposed to 1t.
While there was no reference to the
bonus on the floor. bonus talk swirled
thru the corridors and for the time be-
ing, discussions of plans for cutting
the army and navy appropriation bills
was forgotten.
Republican members Of this ways and
means committee meeting morning
and afternoon went over details of the
proposed bill. without giving any int-
nation as to the exact form of the
measure to be reported. The calling In
OF John r. Taylor. vice chairman OF
the legions legislative committee and
Richard Jones, representing the Vet
erans OF Foreign Wars. provoked the
protest of Mr.. Gardner and his appeal
that the house step in and prevent Re-
publicans meeting in secret with wit
nesses favoring the measure without
admitting Democratic members to us
ten at least to the deliberations.
