SENATE COMMITTEE
STUDIES RECORDS
TO FIX BONUS COST
Sessions to Be Re-
sumed to Expedite Work,
Smoot Says.

Washington, ID. C.. March 81
Army and navy records we're studied
today By the Senate finance committee
in an effort TO determine the exact
number of veterans entitled TO bonus
and their average length of service as
means of ending, TO some extent, the
confusion growing out of the huge diff
fcrenccs in estimates as to the cost
of the bonus bill passed by the
House.
The committee will work out for
itself an estimate as to the probable
cost Of the bonus, chairman Smoot
said, after getting all the necessary
data. The main point of divergence
resulting in the S2,500.000,000 diff
ference in the estimates of the Vet
Grams Bureau and treasury actuaries
lies in whether the government will
have to pay interest on the funds to
be used in purchasing the proposed
insurance policies. This also will be
determined by the committee.
Chairman Smoot is planning TO re.
sumo the night session of the com
mittee and has predicted early ac-
ton on both the bonus and revenue
measures. No decision has been made
as TO which will be reported first.
