 The last move of the administration was to seek delay in the vote until Sat urday, Senator Reed, republican, Penn sylvania, asking unanimous consent to defer action until that time.

 Reduction Outlook Gloomy
 White House officials in discussing the Senate action emphasized that the Mellon tax reduction program was pre- dicated upon the assumption that there would be no bonus legislation. While they refused to say. so directly, they left the impression that Congress. hay ing decided on bonus, hope of material tax reduction must be abandoned.
 Secretary Mellon was not prepared to discuss the effect of the bonus upon the treasury's financial program, but he said that Sooner or later there must be provision for payment and it can be met only by new taxes"
 The secretary conferred with Presi- dent Coolidge after the Senate acted. Mr. Mellon declined to comment on suggestions by some treasury officials that the treasury could not do other wise than recommend veto of the pending tax legislation as Il result of 1 the passage of the bonus,

 Cost, Estimates Vary The cost of the bonus has been vari ously estimated at from $2,25O, ,OO0, ,OOO
