SOLDIER, ECONOMIST
OPPOSE PAYMENT OF
YETERANbONUSN NOW
Winner Of Congressional Medal
of Honor Says There Arc
No Living Heroes

washington. April 29.-R-An
economist and a soldier joined Friday
in opposing cash redemption Of the
soldiers bonus now.
Before tho house ways and means
committee. Professor Irving Fisher.
Yale university economist. and Rich
ard w. O'Neill. Of New York, former
state chairman OF the disabled Amer
lean veterans, assailed the Patman
full payment plan.
Fisher said it would be blow to
business confidence. He joined In the
views previously expressed by Secretary
Mills and Eugene Meyer, chairman Of
the federal reserve board, that It was
unsound economically to initiate the
currency by two billion dollars to pay
the bonus.
O'Neill, a holder Of the congress
sional medal of honor, said needy We
terans should be helped but that "the
real veteran wants Job with living
wage"
Il disagree with those who say cash
PAYMENT would ruin the country fl
nancially." he said. II disagree also
with those who say 1t will cure all our
troubles"
O'Neill won the congressional medal
Of honor for bravery In France when
20 years old, but opened his argument
with the statement:
There are no living heroes"
He paid tribute to Representative
Patman 3D., Tex) and Rankin 3D.,
Miss.) leading bonus advocates, for
their sincerity In forwarding veterans
legislation.
This committee could give serious
consideration to the relief Of veter-
ans in dire need" O'Neill said. "Of
the total holding certificates today,
two-thirds don't really need the cash
payment.
IT the bonus is paid now the We
teran will be living practically In a
fools paradise for couple Of months:
then he will realize he has spent his
family's only safeguard"
II am opposed to the Patman bill
and agree substantially with all that
Secretary Mills and Governor Meyer
have said," Professor Fisher said. Il
see two chief objections to the Pat
man bill.
First that 1t would pay what is not
due, and secondly. that 1t might
further impair confidence, and by inn
pairing confidence be deflationary,
not inflationary. We are now SUI
fering from deflation."

VETS TRY NEXT.
FOR VOTE GAIN
IN SENATE
Heartened by Result in House,
Liberal Bloc Drives for New
Showdown on Beer

Encouraged by the tre-
mendous wet gain in the
House, the Liberal bloc today
began a drive for record
vote in the Senate on the
question of legalized beer.
The Liberals have no hope
of winning this contest but
they desire to show the coun-
try that their ranks are gain
ing in the Senate as we'll as
the House.
The drys, meanwhile, will meet
the test willingly, because they
feel their secure majority in the
Senate, as well as in the House,
demonstrates the futility of tr;;-
ing to repeal the Eighteenth
Amendment in the present
generation.
Report Due This Week
The vets will get favorable
report from the Senate manu-.
factures subcommittee on the
Bingham 4 per cent beer bill,
which was the subject of lengthy
hearings.
This subcommittee will recon-
mend passage of the bill by a
two to one vote, Senators Metcalf
(RO Of Rhode Island, chairman,
and Bulkley CD of Ohio, favor
ing it while Senator Hatfield (R)
of West Virginia, opposes it.
Metcalf announced he expected
the subcommittee to report this
week.
Close Vote Seen
The Senate Manufactures Com
mittee must then pass on the
bill. 1t may render an adverse
report, but if it does so, the
vote will be close-possibly as
close as seven to six.
Any kind of a report, however,
will be welcomed by the vets, as
their sole plan is to get the bill
before the Senate for record
vote.
The last real wet and dry fight
waged in the Senate occurred in
February, 1929, when the Jones
"Five-and-Ten" law was passed.
The division on that measure,
strictly a wet and dry vote, was
IS to 18 in favor of the bill, with
the pairs running the actual
totals to 10 to 20. Six Senators
were absent and impaired.
