ASK STRAIGHT CASH
PAYMENT OPTION
IN SOLDIER BONUS

Washington, Mar. 4-Indications
of determined fight for a straight
out cash payment option developed
today in connection with hearings on
soldiers bonus legislation before the
House ways and means committee.
caihrman Green, of the committee
said the reporting of the measure
might be delayed beyond Saturday
because of expected efforts to make
considerable changes in the old bill
as substantially introduced in the
Mckenzie measure now before the
committee.
Representative LETTERS, Alabama,
chairman of the special committee of
five appointed by the House Demo-
cratic conference to outline the views
of that party on bonus legislation,
declared tonight in favor of a two
fold bonus bill. He advocated the
cash payment and paid up insurance
options. This committee will pre-
sent bonus program to the ways

representatives of the latter organ
ization developed committee. row
and brought demands from represen-
tatives Oldfield, Arkansas. and Rain
ey, Illinois, Democrats, that the list
of contributors and records of the

The Mckenzie bill, similar to that

WALSH EXPLAINS
EXCHANGES WITH
D0HENY ON OIL

} Washington, Mar. 4-Three more
interesting contributions were added
to the records of the oil committee
today while special government
counsel were completing plans for
action within the next few hours for
the annulment of the Sinclair and
Doheny leases.
Senator Walsh. chief prosecutor In
the oil scandal, disclosed that in the
midst of the inquiry Il. l.. Doheny
had suggested that he might care TO
associate himself with the Doheny
interests in u proposal to develop oil
lands.
The second disclosure was pro-
duced by William J. Burns. director
of the bureau of investigation in the
department Of justice. He testified
that in order to save possible en-
barrassnent to Attorney General
Daugherty he had limited to Edward
Is. Mclean, publisher of the Wash
ington Post, that he resign his COM
mission as n 81 a year secret agent
OF the bureau, a position he said
Mclean had held since 1921.
Francis II. McAdoo of New York.

the third sensation of the two-hour
committee session. He declared that
Mclean, for whom he is counsel. had
telegraphed him that A. Mitchell
n former Democratic attorney gem
eral, was counsel for Albert Is. Fall
and Harry +. Sinclair. Palmer de-
MED before the committee last week
that there was any such relationship.
In presenting to the committee
copies of the telegram and two let
tiers exchanged with Doheny, Sena-
tor Walsh said that reports concern
ing these documents had been
whispered about for the purpose of
discrediting him." The telegram was
found in the files Of the Western
Union Telegraph company while n
search was being made for messages
relevent to the oil inquiry.
The first communication in the ex-
change was letter dated December
IA, 1928, and sent to Doheny at New
York City by the senator. Enclosed
with it was q letter to Senator Walsh
by r. S. Hogan, OF Great Falls. Mon

CLASSIC PAROD|ES
HEARD IN Senate
ON OIL SCANDAL

Washington. March AFTER having
been gassed for weeks in the heavy
fumes of oil, and scorched by the
flames of partisan debate. the Senate
today found a welcome relief in few
moments of COMEDIAN excursion into
the classics. parodied with the names
and subjects of the hour.
Senator Heflin of Alabama. renewing
an attack on Edward l.. Doheny, made
a detourn into the realm of literature
and struck Henry Cabot Lodge Of
Massachusetts in his home spot. The
! result was n passage at words that
! sent the galleries into roarS of laughter
! in which senators on the floor joined
| without restraint. in strange contrast
! to the studied 6ecorum of the cham
! Der.
Senator Hefln was referring to Mr..
! Doheny's tax refund of $4,000 by the
treasury department when he drevted
| to parody on the classic tale of Ahou
Ben Adhem. Substituting "DouEh
Heenie" for "Abou," Senator Hefiin
said:
1.-THE GOLDEN FLEECE
| "Abou Dough Heenie (may his tribe
inCrease)
! Awoke one night from deep dream of
peace
And saw within the moonlit room,
Making it rich like lily in bloom.
A senator writing in book of gold.
Enormous wealth had made Dough
Heenie bold;
And to the senator in the room he said:
What writcst thou? The statesman
raised his head
And. with look which made Abou
Answered: The names of those who
speak for OIL
And is mine one? said Abou.
We will see replied the senator But
About checrily
Responded in a still and softer tone:
Write me as one who loves TO make a

! The senator wrote and vanished. The
next day s&+
! lie came again--it looked like Cara
| And showed the names of those whom
Fall liked best.
| And, 10! Dough Heenie'S name led all
the rest"
While the chamber and galleries
roared. Senator Lodge, the Republican
| leader, and litterateur of the chamber,
was not caught mapping. From a type
| written sheet in his hand he replied
with a parody on Longfcllow's
brothers and Sisters Have 1 None, -
| reading as follows:
MIR. Fanderlip says:
! Absolute knowledge have / none:
! But my aunt'S washerwomans sis

| Say to a 1aborer on the street
That he had letter just last week
| A letter which he did not seek
