With galleries crowded by Govern

over the omnibus economy bill, which,
it is claimed, would save 5000, 900 900
in Government expenditures.
The question of adopting a special
rule, generally declared TO be a gag
rule, which would make In order in
the legislative appropriation bill an
amendment of II pages of highly con-
tToVers1al legislation affecting all
phases OF the Government, was vigor-
ouSly debated.
Leaders on both Democratic and Re-
publican sides have broken party lines
IN vigorous appeals either for adoption
OF the rule or its rejection
Rule Likely to Be Rejected.
Before the vote is taken it seems
probable the rule will be rejected.
The House is voting first on the pre-
Vlous question. II that is adopted, the
next vote will be on adoption of the
rule. The previous question is likely
to be voted favorably. If 1t is not
adopted, then the rule will be thrown
open for amendment
The previous question automatically
SHUTS on any debate on the amend
ment.
Before reaching this legislative stage,

In charge of the rule, and at the sug-
gestion Of Minority Leader Smell, the
House adopted an amendment some
what hberalizing the rule by giving the
Economy Committee a right to make
all perfecttng amendments without in
fringing upon the four amendments al
lowed under the rule on each title in
the bill.
Confident Of defeating the gag rule
was expressed by leaders Of the op-
position after a conference with Rep

MILLS AND MEYER
FIGHT CASH BONUS
Heads of Treasury and Fed.
eraI Reserve Oppose Pay
ment Measure.

Secretary of the Treasury Mills and
Eugene Meyer, governor of the Federal
Reserve Board, today unloaded a pow
erful administration offensive against
cash payment of the soldiers bonus.
Mills spoke first, appearing as wit
ness, before the House Ways and Means
Committee in its extended hearings on
the issue.
Meyer said that "to tinker with the
currency would endanger the conf
dence of the whole world in the United
States.
Doesn't Mince Words.
In language no less forceful than
that Charles G. Dawes employed before
the same committee a week ago, the
new Treasury chief drove home his
opposition to the $4,000, ,000, 900 outlay,
whether paid in borrowed money or
through imitation of the currency.
The measure now before you Is
designed to pay an obligation not due,
in money that is not honest" Mills said.
The adjusted service certificates do
not mature until 1945. To pay them
at their face value today, less the
amount that has been borrowed on
them, would. in effect, almost double
the payment provided for by the ad-
justed service compensation act and
would involve an immediate cost to the
Government Of about $2,400, 100000
In other words the Government is
TO pay almost twice the amount it
undertook to pay.
ITO select this moment" he went
on, Ito destroy our hopes of balanced
budget and to deal a smashing blow to
national confidence, is to me simply
incomprehenSible. The proponents OF
this measure fully recognize that the
cost cannot be borne by legitimate
means. They would discharge
what they state to be a solemn obli-
CATION of the Government by
setting the printing presses to work
printing dishonest dollars.
Will Destroy Confidence.

deliberately to adopt this insidious and
essentially dishonest device would to

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Alfred
E. Smith wrestled to dog fall" in the
primary contests yesterday for delegates
to the Democratic National Convention,
on the face of the returns at hand.
The Smith and anti-Roosevelt forces
in Massachusetts, have apparently elect
ed all the delegates-at-large and may
have the entire 36 votes from the Bay
State in the national convention.
Roosevelt, on the other hand, was a
victor in Pennsylvania, and in far-away
Alaska. Pennsylvania has 76 votes in
the Democratic National Convention
and Alaska 6. All of the Alaska dele
gates are for Roosevelt. In Pennsyl-
vania it is believed that go of the dele
gates will be Roosevelt men.
With 118 delegates at stake, Roosevelt
appears to have won Sc to 81 for smith.
First Roosevelt Defeat.
The Roosevelt defeat In Massachusetts,
is his first in a string of primary and
convention fights in considerable
number of States.
The Massachusetts, delegates are the
first that will have been instructed 1or
Smith in the preconvention campaign.
Undoubtedly the Roosevelt opposl-
ton will take heart from Smiths
smashing victory in Massachusetts.
While Gov Roosevelt and his prin-
cipal opponent in the race Tor the
Democratic presidential nomination
held the center of the stage, other con-
troversies of much political Importance
were settled in Yesterdays primaries.
Gov. Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylva-
mia and his senatorial candidate, Maj.
Gen. Smedley D. Butler of Marine
Corps fame, took a hard toss in the
Republican primaries in the Keystone
State. Senator James j. Davis has
defeated Gen. Butler in the senatorial
primary by big vote. and the Repub-
lican organization of the State appears
to have put through its slate generally.
Victory for Vets.
The Davis victory over Gen. Butler is
blow to the drys and a boost for the
vets. Davis espoused the anti-prohibi-
tion cause after William S. Ware, the
Republican boss of Pennsylvania,
threatened to put an organization can
didate in the race against him If Davis
oid not declare against the eighteenth
amendment. Gen. Butler ran as bone
dry.
The result may mean a militant
Pennsylvania delegation in the Repub-
lican National Convention fighting for
a plank promising resubmission OF the
eighteenth amendment.
Gov. Pinchot's presidential aspira-
tions, if he had them, seem to have
been snutfed out completely in the
Pennsylvania primary. President Hoover
will have the support of virtually the
entire State delegation in the Repub-
lican National Convention. Pinchots

The Russian member of the commits
sion contended all surface ships were

member agreed with this view to
great extent.

and charged that aircraft carriers were
