STRATEGY BEHIND
EARLY BONUS VOTE
House Leaders to Push Issue,
Then Launch Assault on
Discharge Rule
By HERBERT PLuMMER

Washington, Dec. 29.-The strategy
behind the decision Of leaders on
Capitol Hill to permit as early vote
as possible on the bonus, say those
on the inside, is not concerned wholly
with their desire 70 set the session
off to harmonious start
The play also is directed 8. the So
called discharge rule which 50 plagued
the house leaders IN the las: session.
This rule, which permits las MEM
bers Of the house to force vote on
any measure, has bee., used twice
before to bring the bonus to the floor
Of the house and on each occasion i
has been passed.
Similar action Is expected IN the
coming session.
House leaders, therefore. admitting
they probably can't do anything about
1t, want to get the thing over with as
quickly as possible. Then they plan
4 determined assault on the discharge
rule In an effort to require that a
majority Of the house affix their sig
natures to such petitions.
Such things as the Townsend old
age pension plan and the like are in
the offing, 1t is pointed out, and the
leaders are taking no chances.
Banking Legislation
Washington observers are as much
1T sea as ever as to what the admin
jstration has In mind in the way Of
banking legislation in the coming
session.
The slightest move in this direction
around the treasury or White House
provokeS all sorts Of speculation. For
instance, when it was revealed that
the federal reserve board had decided
not to fill at this time vacancies in
the post of reserve agent in several Of
the reserve districts, all sorts of ex-
plantations were heard.
Many interpreted the boards deci-
sion to the uncertainty over what
changes congress will be asked to
make this winter in the national
banking structure. The board couldn't
get the type Of men 1t decires, it was
said, to accept appointments unless
they could be assured of a degree Of
permanency.
Not Resigning Yet
Gossip and rumor to the contrary,
Chester Davis, AAA administrator,
says ne has no intention of resigning
his post for some time to come.
Here's the reason he gave when
asked directly about such reports:
I've spent about Is years Of my life
IN an effort to have created an agency
such as the agricultural adjustment
administration. I intend to see it
through. I've been offered other
Jobs, yes, but I'm not interested"
