Accept Compromise
In Veterans Battle
House Democratic Committee Is
Unanimous For Presidents
New Plan
ACCEPTANCE IS FORECAST
Veterans Leader Says Scheme
Is Better Than Amendment
Made in Senate

Washington, June -R-The
house Democratic steering committee
Friday unanimously accepted a modi-
fication Of President Roosevelts COM
promise proposal on veterans cuts and
made plans to bring 1t up for house
action Saturday.
The decision was reached at a Joint
meeting of the special veterans COM
mittee and the steering committee.
Representative Pou Dem. N. c.
who acted as spokesman for the steer
ing committee, said:
I'VE had very harmonious meet
ing. We substantially agreed to the
form of rule which will probably be
presented to the house this afternoon
and considered tomorrow.
THE meeting unanimously accepted
the report made to 1t by the special
veterans committee. The compromise
proposal will be included In the rule
and will be made public only after
the rules committee approves It," A
meeting Of the rules committee was
called Immediately"
Pou declined to make public details
Of the compromise.
Representative Lea Dem. CALI
chairman of the Democratic caucus
that set up the special veterans COM
mittee, said:
Gives Veterans Break
II believe the house will accept the
compromise. It is better for the vet
Grams than the Connally amendment
to the independent offices appropria.
ton bill. It is better thought out and
worked out.
1T is quite an Improvement owe,
the Connally amendment"
The Connally amendment, opposed
by President Roosevelt, would have
Increased veterans OUTLAWS 100000 O0C
and cut the savings under the econ
omy act from $420, 000, 900 to $3.50, 000,-
600.
It would have prevented more than
a Is percent cut In allowances fol
service-connected and presumptive
cases.
Under the compromise agreement
service connected cases are reduced
not more than rs percent and at an
average Of 10 percent.
Presumptive cases are to be cut Is
percent, instead Of being stricken Oft
the rolls as provided under regula-
tons previously issued.
All presumptive cases are to remain
on the rolls until either September
or October l. In the meantime, the
president Is to set up boards to re-
view them with view to eliminating
those not entitled to remain on the
rolls.
If the steering committee approves
the compromise, the Democratic lead
er swill bring it out under a rule pre-
venting vote on the Connally
amendment.
House action, however, in sending
the independent offices bill to con-
ference, will be delayed until Satur-
day under its rules.
