DISCARD HOUSE
BONUS PLANS
SpOkesmen For Veterans
Given Suggestions For
Framing Substitute Bill
MEN INSIST ON CASH
SmOOt Substitute Bill For EndOw-
ment Insurance Not Approved by
Senators or Soldiers.

Washington, April 25--Hearing
representatives of the ex-service men
behind closed doors, the Republicans
of the Senate Finance Committee met
again yesterday on the Soldiers Bonus
bill and made practically no progro S..
One definite result came from the
hearing notice to the soldiers that the
House bill, with its certificate plan OF
payment. was unsatisfactory to the
Senate Committee and likewise tC the
President. That the President would
veto such bill was the substance OF
statements made to Hanford Mac
Nider, national commander of the
American Legion, and Robert G..
Woodside. commander Of the Neter-
ans of Foreign Wars.
Chairman McCumber presented to
the service mems representatives Ger
tain suggestions for a substitute for
the House bill. They were asked to
consider these suggestions as confiden-
tial and report back today or tomor-
row whether they were satisfactory.
Previously Commander MacNider
had told the committee that the mai
oritv Of the former soldiers would be
! satisfied with the House bill. Mac
Nider. referring to the long delay in
passage of bonus legislation. express
ed the hope that "this' will be the
last tirle it is necessary for US TO APP
pear here on the So-called adjusted
compensation bill"
Details of the substitute McCnmber
proposal were withheld, but 1t Is I'M
derstood it embraces an insurance
feature in lieu Of the certificate plan
of the House. The Senate Finance
Committee also expressed its disap-
proyal of the land reclamation
scheme of the House bill and said 1t
would have to go out.
The soldiers SUokeman said the eX
service men needed cash and objected
to any proposal that will defer pay
ments to p future date. Various sug-
gestions discussed include issuance OF
Treasury certificates ~ tide over the
earlier bonus payments as well as
utilization Of their War debt payments.
Commanders MacNider ard Wood
side declined to be drawn into anv dis
! CuSSlOn relative 10 llnauC'lG iilt utIlus
nayments They held that this was
the task Of Congress. not the soldiers.
and they asked merely for recognition
of the PRINCIPLES of the adjusted COM
nensation due the soldiers because of
his sacrifices. financial and otherwise,
and the early passage Of the bill.
At the suggestion Of Senator Smoot,
the endowment insurance rlan
which he is snonsor. was laid before

WASHINGTON
DAY BY DAY
From our special C0rres0Ondent)

From our special CorresoOndent)
Washington, April 25.-It is ex-
pected that the Senate will this week
pass the La Toilette resolution cal
ling upon Secretary of the Interior
Fall to transmit TO the Senate all
data and correspondence bearing on
the leasing of naval oil reserves to
private corporations The resolution
may be slightly modified but there
is a sufficient interest in the whole
question to cause many Senators ID
want to get at the bottom of the
affair which they feel they could do
if they had a chance to examine all
the records in the case.
Underlying the resolution is the
belief OF Senator La Toilette that the
turning over of these oil lands to
private corporations means the en-
richment of the corporations bv many
millions of dollars at the public eX-
pense. There is also feeling
among some Senators that the
navy's interests in the oil lands have
not been properly protected and that
sometime in the near future the
great oil burning ships OF the Amer
lean navy will not have sufficient
available supply Of oil to run them.
