DOENGS OF DAY
IN WASHINGTON

In observance of Washington's
birthday, government activities, ex
cept Congress, were suspended.
ish Gebt funding arrangement was
completed, the House, without

in the agreement proposal,
Without recommendation a Senate
banking subcommittee reported the

Illegally collected, the third defi-

ported to the House.
Republican leaders in the House
abandoned plans to call up the bill
for government purchase of Cape

sheraton of the measure developed
into a filibuster.
Secretary Hoover, 1t became known,
informed a House appropriations sub
committee he favored development
OF Muscle Shoals for manufacture of
nitrates and was opposed to govern
ment operation OF the project.
As the Senate filibuster against
the administration shipping bill en-
tered its fourth day with no signs
of wavering, republican leaders con-
sidered the advisability of breaking
the deadlock by recomitting the
measure, enough votes for such
step, 1t was declared, having been
pledged.
Two proposed con titutio ma l
amendments. one by Senator Norris,
republican, Nebraska, to advance the
date of the Presidents inauguration

GLIMMER Of HOPE
FOR BONUS ISSUE
ONLY SHORT-L|YED
Mellon Denies Suggesting
That English Debt Funds Be
Used in Paying Money
to the Soldiers

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.LSoldiers'
bonus advocates in the House were
given glimmer of hope today by
Chairman Fordney OF the ways and
means committee, author Of the
measure vetoed by President Hard
ing, but it proved short-lived.
Mr.. Fordney, addressing the House
on the British debt settlement. said
Secretary Mellon had told him that
he had no objection to the use of
the money received from the foreign
debt, principal and interest, in fl
nancing a bonus for former service
men after the money had been OBJ
tanned.
Mr.. Mellon, when his attention was
called to Mr.. Fordney's remarks, said
he had no recollection of having
made the statement and it was
reiterated at the treasury that he
adhered to his position that the
government was obligated to apply
at least the interest from the debt
to the retirement of Liberty bonds.
The Treasury Secretary COM
municated with Mr.. Fordney by tele-
phone and the Michigan represent
tatiye stated later than evidently he
had misunderstood Mr.. Mellon and
would strike his remarks from the
record of the House proceedings. He
added that at the first opportunity
he would make an explanation of the
matter to the House.
The bonus question was brought
up by Representative Fish, repub-
lican of New York, a former service
man.
"The distinguished gentleman
from Michigan, Mr.. Fordney, VIII
leave the House in short time"
said Mr.. Fish, land the bill which
he introduced, known as the, bonus
bill will die at the end of this ses-
sion. l wish the gentleman would
inform the House as a matter of re-
cord about the statement that he
told me yesterday that the Secretary
of Treasury had made to him with
respect to the use of the funds"
IN speaking with the Secretary Of
Treasury about the wisdom or ad-
visibility at the present time OF
presenting to Congress bonus bill"
replied Mr.. Fordney, "he suggested
that before that were done, we
should have an interview with the
President on the method of raising
the money to meet the payment of
that bonus, but added that he had
not the slightest objection to the
money received as interest and prin
cipal upon those foreign loans, after
we had secured that money, being
used to pay the soldiers bonus. That
is the statement he made"
Does that mean the soldiers win
have to wait siXty-two years."
asked Representative Blanton, dem
ocrat, Texas, referring to the time
the British bonds are to run.
1.-THE gentleman knows that is not
the case or he ought to know it,
returned Mr.. Fordney.

Seeks New Record.
The Tennessee senator, as he con-
tinued, seemed to be after the record
set Thursday by Senator Sheppard,
democrat, Texas, in speaking contin-
uously for about seven hours. Half
a dozen other opponents of the bill
were awaiting their turn to take the
floor, Senator Brookhart, republican,
Iowa, announcing that he was next
in line.
The holiday allowed thousands to
hear the debate, the galleries being
crowded throughout the day and
night, and hundreds awaited to obtain
seats.
During the day the rules commit
tee met to consider various proposals
such as that recently made by Sena-
tor Curtis OF Kansas, the republican
whip, to make it possible to limit de-
bate. 1t was decided that it would be
inadvisable to attempt any change
until the next Congress.
Senator Mcclellan, however, con-
eluded carly tonight, having held the
floor for five and one-half hours,
but he gave notice that he expected
to speak again on the subject of fill
busters.

of shipping board officials for their
alleged failure to take advantage of
