NEW AIRPLANE
 IS WRECKED
 IN LANDING

/ CAMP LEWIS, June 8.-An unfor- tunate accident in landing marred what otherwise would have been an eminently successful flight test of a new machine here today. Army en- ,gineers had designed new pursuit plane, the first of which was given it's baptism under actual service condl- tions today under the pilotage of Lieu tenant John McCready. The machine had worked perfectly obtaining a height of 10000 feet. In landing Lieut.
 McCready snapped an axle of the aero plane and it was completely wrecked. Fortunately the aviatQT was but slight 1y injured. The new flying machine Incorporates several new devices and principles, the need for which was dis covered under actual war conditions in France. The flying experts have been at work solving the problems ever since the armistice and the new plane tested today is the result of their efforts. Despite the faulty axle, the machine is considered to have come up to the expectations of it's de- signers. " "'EMNE

WiU Be. Opposed Because H Contains NO Financial Clause

the bonus go over until after the No vember elections in order that the peo- pie of the country might have chance to express a preference in the matter, and be allowed to voice their senti- ments :
 The bill carries no provisions for raising the funds to pay the bonus. This feature has been severely criti, Gizsd by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. The Committee found it i'm, possible to agree, even after several conferences with the President, on any scheme of financing, so the bill as reported leaves it to be paid out of the general funds of the treasury President Harding may refuse to give to him, for the lack of a financing plan. In speaking on the bill during McCumber alluded to this feature and explained that he hoped the govern ment would be able to raise sufficient money to pay the bonus by the reduc- tion of governmental expenses to, gether with the interest payments ex- pected to be received on the foreign debt. He asserted that these two means might be found to be sufficient to provide the finances without the imposition of additional taxes. We'll informed persons here believe that the bill will go on the rocks over the lack of a comprehensive plan for financing the bonus.
