$625, plus Is per cent, approximately
$156; total, 1871, or, compounded at

BlLSARE
BLOCKED
Legislative Jam Threatens
LehIbach Measure and In
crease for 5000 Workers

Two important Redistribution
measures are pending in the
ISenate-the Lehlbach bill, abolish
ling the Personnel Classification
Board, and the report upon the
Redistribution of the field serv-
ice, containing an average 6 per
cent increase for more than
$4,000 Federal workers.
Passage Is Doubtful.
Unless the present session is ex.
tended it is doubtful whether
either one of the measures can be
passed. The Lehlbach bill, which
settles the long standing controversy
between the Civil Service Commits
sion and the Bureau of Efficiency
over the method by which the
Government employees In the Die.
trict OF Columbia shall be reallocated.
already has passed the House and
powerful pressure is being exerted
in it's behalf in the Senate.
The Legislative jam has reached
such a stage, however, that. 1t is
doubtful whether Senator Stanfield,
chairman OF the Civil Service Com.
mittee, will be able to effect its
passage.
The Redistribution of the field
service probably will be blocked by
the supporters of the Lehlbach.
Stanfield bill, inasmuch as it is
said to be in contravention Of the
type of reallocation which they
are striving to bring about.
Original Plan Abandoned.
The Personnel Classification Board
was forced by pressure from Sena-
tor Smoot and the Budget Bureau
to abandon its original plan for
field service classification last No.
vember. and its final report, alleged
to contain no genuine reclassifica-
ton Of the field service workers, is
certain to arouse strong opposi-
ton when it comes before the Sem
ate for discussion.
So confused is the situation that
It is impossible to forecast what

Explains Need of Immediato
Action to Put 5000 More
Clerks on Rush Work,

Major General Robert G.. Davis,
Adjutant General Of the Army
and chief of the Adjusted Com
pensation Service Of the War De-
partment, went before the House
Appropriations Committee today
with Major John N. Smith, execu-
tive officer Of the compensation
service, to explain the details Of
the departments request for the
first years bonus appropriations.
Indications today were that the
appropriations would be rushed
through the House and Senate, in.
order to expedite the distribution
of application blanks and the addi-
ton of more than 5000 persons
to the Federal employment rolls.
Others To Be Heard.
Officials Of the Veterans Bureau,
the Navy Department and the
Marine Corps are to be heard after
the War Department heads.
Government Printing Office Of
dcials stated today that revised
proofs OF the bonus applfcation
blanks have been approved by the
War Department, and that printing
OF 1k000, 900 for distribution win
begin Immediately.
Actual distribution, however, viii
be held up for about six weeks, un-
til the complete job is checked over.
Scores Of veterans, former yeo-
manettes and the widows and de-
pendents OF those who gave their
lives for America in the world
war are availing themselves today
Of the bonus information Of The
Washington Times and The Wash.
ington Herald, opened yesterday
on the third floor of the Hearst
Building, 1917 H street northeast.
Coincident with the opening OF
the Hearst bureau, President Cool
idge transmitted to Congress a re.
quest from the Veterans Bureau
for 1887, S17,S 1898 to defray the costs
Of distributing the bonus until
July 1, 1925. OF this total, which
includes compensation, $1,1SS,5O0
would be for actual administration.
Payment to Vets.
It was estimated that 327,126 vet
Grams who are entitled to cash pay
ments of $50 or less will receive
$8,17S, $40. For the first two quar-.
terly installments to be paid bene-
ficiaries of deceased veterans, the
sum of SIS ,451,274 is required. The
maximum of 100000, 900 was asked
for the annual premium to be pro-
vided for payment of the face
value of adjusted service certificates.
The War Department has asked
$S,600,00O for its share of the bonus
expenses and the Navy Department
needs $3.50, 900.
An interesting point in the bonus
law was raised yesterday by an in.
quirer at The Times bureau. After
being informed that it would prob
ably be six weeks before the bonus
application blanks would be ready,
he asked this question:
You tell me that If died before
making application. my beneficiary
would get the amount OF my ad.
justed service credit. instead OF the
amount Of the paid-up policy. You
also tell me that I cannot make an.
plication before the blanks are
ready.
