Garner Declares He Will Not
Change Stand IF We Stay
Here Until August"
MCNARY ACTS TO BAR
FINAL DEATH OF PROGRAM
Senate Reconsideration of Vote
Would Leave Door Open to
Accept Previous Report.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The much contested national econ
omy bill today seemed headed for ad-
ditionak conflict before becoming law.
The Senate sent the s150,000, 900
measure back to conference Friday.
Today Speaker Garner said he would
reappoint the same House conferees,
two of whom are in Chicago.
Chairman McDufie Of the House
group will not return until Wednesday
night. Douglas of Arizona is expected
back about the same time.
This would delay another meeting
until Thursday, last day of the fiscal
year.
Will Stick to Demands.
I'm not going to appoint new con-
ferees," Garner said. III name the
same ones If we stay here until Au-
gust"
The House in session for the first
time since Thursday, was formally
notified today of the Senate's un-
expected action. McDuf6e is chair
man Of the House conferees, and
the success of the new conference
is largely dependent on his will
hngness to acquiesce in the demands
of the Senate. Before leaving Wash
ington McDufie served notice that the
House would refuse to yield and de-
clared deadlock would be inevitable.
In anticipation of such an even
tuality, Senator McNary of Oregon, as
sistant Republican leader of the Sen
ate has taken a parliamentary step
however, to prevent the death of the
bill in conference and salvage at least
some of the $150,000,o 900 savings it is
estimated to produce. McNary plans
to offer a motion in the Senate some
time To-Day to have the Senate recon-
slider the viva voce vote by which ii
returned the bill to conference.
May Recall Measure.
The move is designed solely to give
the Senate jurisdiction over the bill
so it can recall the measure and &C.
cept the conference report, should q
deadlock develop in conference McNary
feels the-Senate will accept the report
despite the injustice the bill might
work on the Government employees
rather than have it fail.
Throughout debate on the bill belief
was expressed by some Senators that
the injuStices might be worked out in
administration. although they would
rather have them removed before en-
actment, if that can be done without
jeopardizing passage of the measure
before adjournment Of Congress.
One thing is certain-Congress does
not propose to let its pet economy bill
go to an untimely death.

BILL ASKS S1OO,0DO
TO HELP VETERANS
Copeland Would Provide
Transportation for Bonus
Marchers to Return Home.

A definite move to provide public
funds for relief of the Bonus Expe-
dictionary Forces in Washington was
made In the Senate today, when Sen
ator Copeland, Democrat, of New York,
introduced a resolution designed to au-
thorize an appropriation of 100000
for that purpose.
The funds, under the resolution,
would be administered by the Commis-
sioners, with the approval of the Presi-
dent, for food shelter and transporta-
ton of the veterans to their homes.
The resolution was ordered laid on the
table temporarily, and Senator Cope
land plans to call 1t up tomorrow for
action.
Senator Copeland said he introduced
the resolution independent of any action
that may be taken later by Senator
Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, be-
cause he considered the presence in
washington of so many veterans cen
stituted a menace to the health and
welfare of the community.
Would Speed Action.
Senator Blaine had previously an
nounced he would seek to have the
senate NalSILldI BCI
from further consideration of the Costi-
gan bill, carrying $4,000 for relief OF
the veterans, so he could introduce a
redraft OF the measure in the Senate
Senator Copeland, however, thinks his
plan will expedite the appropriation II
Congress is in mood to provide relief
for the veterans. His resolution fol-
lows:
Whereas, the health and welfare oi
the District OF Columbia and its per-
manent and transient inhabitants, are
menaced by existing conditions, re-
solved:
That it is the sense OF the Senate
that the sum of 100000 should be ap-
propriated and placed at the disposal
Of the commissioners of health ano
police of the District of Columbia, and
expended with the approval of the
President of the United States.
This fund may be used for the bene-
fit of the transient veterans and en-
ployed to return them to their homes

used for administrative purposes.
