dell of Wyoming, who headed the

The legislative situation relating to
the bonus bill was fully presented to
the president. with detailed explana-
ton of the provisions which remove
the menace Of excessive drafts on the
treasury in the amount flu the future
and avoid the program OF added taxa
tion. The president went over the
entire situation with an appraisal Of
commitments made. He advised the
committee that the legislation Is q
