WASHINGTON, March 2.--"Say for
me that plans for cash bonus for
ex-service men have not been aban-
dond by the house ways and means
committee" Representative Forney.
republican Of Michigan. committee
chairman. declared today.
The committee has not given up
hope OF making provision for cash
payments and statements to the con-
trary are not correct" F'ordney con-
tinued 1T may be necessary to aban-
don all plans for a cash payment. but
the committee has not reached such
a decision yet.
Chairman Irordney admitted that
among plans being considered was one
70 merge the cash payment plan with
the insurance features OF the bonus
bill. This plan would give the paid
UP Insurance certificate an immediate g
cash value Of fifty per cent OF the
face value that the beneficiary could
raise by securing loan on his IN
surance policy at g. bank. The insuF-
ance certificate will be good for an 50
per cent loan on It's face value from
the treasury after three years from
issue.
II was learned today that Secretary
OF the Treasury Mellon regards the
cash insurance plan as & lesser evil
although he Is still opposed to direct
cash payments. Officials of the treas
ury department said that such pay
ments would not constitute such
heavy drain upon the treasury or upon
hanks which would cash or loan money
on the certificates held by ex-soldiers.
