BONUS Bill IS
READY TO GO
TO THE SENATE
Passes House by Large
Vote but Fate Is
Now Doubtful
associated Press1

Washington, March 24.-AfteI
having passed the house late yester-
day by a vote Of 333 to 20 the SOL
diers' bonus bill was today made
ready for the senate. What will
happen there is regarded as pro-
blematical but house proponents pro-
pose to use every effort to prevent
shelving it as was the original house
bonus measure.
Washington, March 24.-The 4
billion dollar soldiers bonus bill was
passed last night by the house by
an overwhelming majority 1t now
goes to the senate, where its fate is
regarded as uncertain.
The vote was 333 to 20 or "a more
than the two-third majority neces-
sary for passage of the measure
under the parliamentary procedure
selected by Republican leaders for
the expressed purpose Of preventing
the Democrats from offering a mo-
ton to recommit.
Party lines disappeared both In
the general debate and on the final
roll call, 242 Republicans, 80 Demo
Gratis and l Socialist supporting the
bill, and AZ Republicans and 2S
Democrats voting against 1t.
As passed by the house, the bonus
bill would provide for immediate
cash payments to veterans, whose
adjusted service pay would not ex-
ceed $50, and would give to other
veterans the option Of four plans.
Arguments against the bin were
more frequent than those in its
favor, due to the fact that many
Democrats who announced they
would support IT, vigorously at
tackled some Of fits provisions and
the ways and means committee for
failure to provide means Of financ-
ing the bonus. In the course Of the
debate, the measure was referred to
az a "gold brick" a bogus" bill a
'fhQkus pocus and "deformed and
creature"

allied with him swiftly grew rich. But
In all this great development. for

Spearman had tremendous energy,

Corvet had recognized these qualities
