 Washington, April 2O-(U. P.)- President Hoover is firmly convinc- ed that the soldiers bonus bills now before congress have not the slightest chance of becoming law.
 The president believes that if the house should pass the bonus. the senate will defeat it. And if the senate should pass it, contrary to his expectations, he will use the veto.
 According to administration esti- mates, the bonus directl. or indi- rectly would cost the country -$2.- 100000. 900 (B) whether paid with a government bond issue or by an is- sue of new currency as provided in the Patman bill.

the nudists make up in decorum
for what they lack in clothes.
In Germany the Socialists
