 A drive to revive the soldiers bonus issue broke in both houses of Congress to-day in connection with the administration currency imitation bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. (UP).
The United States supreme court
took over Monday the task Of de-
Gliding what to do with violators
of the 18th amendment indicted
or arrested before its repeal, but
not vet convicted. The decision
probably will be considered also
as a guide for lower courts in
disposing of appeals of violators
convicted before December B,
whe nthe Dist or repeal amend
ment became effective, but whose
cases have not been disposed OF
finally.
Byrum Gibson and Claude
Chambers, North Carohnlans,
were arrested on liquor charges
while the 18th amendment was in
effect. and were indicted in the
central district of their state. On
December 6, their attorneys
moved for dismissal of the indlct-
ments on the ground that the law
for violation OF which they were
held, no longer existed.
Federal Judge Hayes held that
he had no power to hear cases in
volving a law no longer in effect,
and Solicitor General Biggs APP
pealed directly to the supreme
court to get a quick test.
