When Congressman Benjamin

From the outset this opposition

An increasing number OF Repub-

lining up today behind a straight
out cash soldiers bonus as q sub

Senator Bursum RepJ OF New

10 press his cash bonus bill, which
the Senate Finance Committee ig-
nored, and he was understood to
have received positive assurances
Of support from at, least fifteen OF

The Bursum bill would provide

he made application for marine corps
enlistment, does not preclude the
possibility of a through trip to New
