SENATE HEARINGS
ON BONUS SHORT
Finance Committee to Gel
Testimony on Monday
and Tuesday.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
While administration leaders re-
mained silent and the bonus bloc con-
sidered what course Of strategy to fol-
low, plans went forward today for
hearings on the bonus question Mon
day and Tuesday.
The hearings, to be held before the
Senate Finance Committee. will be
brief, Chairman Harrison announced.
Only Government oficials. spokesmen
for the veterans organizations and
Representative Patman, Democrat, Of
Texas, are to testify.
Warn Of Bonus Fight.
Assailing Harrison's compromise
bill as not satisfactory, cash bonus
leaders in the Senate have served no
tice they will fight for a more liberal
measure.
Senator Thomas. Democrat. Of
Oklahoma. long an advocate OF full
cash payment in new money. charac-
terized the Harrison proposal as "a
studied effort to postpone payment.
He announced several amendments
he would offer to improve the bill.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt said
he had no plans for sending a spe-
cial message to the Senate on the issue
He declined to comment further.
Mr.. Roosevelt went over the bonus
problem yesterday with Senator King
Of Utah. ranking Democrat on the
Finance Committee, who has opposed
the bonus legislation In the past
Several advocates OF cashing the
bonus certificates now said they would
vote for the Patman bill passed by the
House rather than the Harrison meas
ure, which was offered in an effort to
provide q compromise acceptable to
the administration.
The bonus bloc as q whole. however
has not determined what strategy II
will follow. Some favor pushing the
Patman bill as a substitute for the
Harrison bill, while others felt 1t would
be easier to use that measure as the
basis for liberalizing amendments.
Administration leaders privately
spread the word that the real friend.
OF the veteran would accept the Har.
rison bill or get nothing, because
President Roosevelt would veto ths
Patman measure.
Thomas told newspaper men h,
would offer amendments to proyid,
for payment Of the current value o.
the bonus certificates in new none,
instead OF bonds, as under the Harri.
son plan, and to move the inaturit,
date up to 1897.
Will Move to Rescind Interest.
He said he would also move to re.
scind the interest on loans alread,
made by the veterans on the cersif.
Gates.
Senator Connally. Democrat. oi
Texas. an administration supporter
said he had similar amendments un.
der consideration. Connally said he
would offer an amendment to cut the
interest rate on loans down to 2 Del
cent, and to pay the current value OF
the certificates in cash instead oil
bonds,
Thomas said 1t would not require
much change to make the Harrison
bill acceptable to him. He said ht
was willing to agree to the declara
ton of policy against future pension.
because 1t would not bind other Con.
crosses.

While this situation is unprecedent-
edly confusing, even for Washington.
no one on the inside has any dust in
his mind concerning it.
As they all see it, Senator Glass Is
an extraordinary Senator He Is not
interested in patronage. He does not
want any of those 1880 ,000, 900 relief
dollars which now rest in Mr.. Roose-
velt's pocket. No favor in the power
of the administration could possibly
convince him that he Is wrong in try
ing to bury the vital section 2 of the
bank bill. Hence he has to be handled
in a different way.
II, in confusing Senator Glass.
the administration contnses the
1Dhole iUorld about the bank bill.
that is bad for the world, but only
temporarily.
The inner wiseacres may be wrong
in these apparently sound deductions,
but they are asking no odds in betting
that the vital portions Of the admins
tration bill will emerge from all this
synthetic confusion. Senator Glass to
the contrary notwithstanding.
Glass on . Merry-go- Round.
The confusion of Glass did not start
recently. Before Mr.. Roosevelt went
fishing. the 5-foot stick of Vir-
ginia dynamite was supposed to have
consulted the President about trim
ming the bank bill.
II those Yho were nearby heard
Alright, Mr.. Roosevelt said, in effect:
20. K, get in touch with Steagall." "
Mr.. Steagali Is the bank leader in
the House. just as Mr.. Glass is in the
Senate. There are lots of people In
the world with whom Glass would
rather consult, but necessity required
it and he did.
The reply he is supposed to hare
received from Mr.. SteagdH ,Das
that Mr.. SteagaH would haze to
get in touch Uith some "other
people,"
BY this time. Mr.. Glass apparently
realized he was on . merry-go-round,
and he decided to get in touch with
himself. Incidentally. Mr.. Steagall
has not been in touch with the "other
people" yet.
Glass and His List.
From these events, you may rightly
deduce that Senator Glass is no
longer regarded by the administration
as a thorn in its side, but rather as
a pain in the neck. The accepted
technique in such cases is not to ag-
gravate it, but to use the scientific
method of diSregarding 1t.
When last seen. flying more or less
irately through the swinging doors
Of the Senate chamber, Glass car
ried long list Of the names Of wit
nesses he intended to call when his
subcommittee starts hearings shortly.
1t would be more than q good guess
to say that the list does not cor
tain the names Of those who might
be called champions Of the admins
tration bill.

SHIPMAN'S DECISION

It is rather odd case presented by Banker
Shpnan, of Brevard, who along with group of
county officials was indicted and convicted of vio-
lating the banking laws by county note negotiations
intended to save the banking institution. Shipman
and those convicted with him protested innocence
to the last. They appealed for pardon, but, last
week were granted parole This refused by
Shipman on the ground that he had never asked
for parole but for a pardon. The parole, he con-
tended, had string attached and he wanted par
don or nothing, so he decided to remain in prison
until the debt the state claimed he owed was paid
in full. Furthermore the parole does not carry
with it the wiping out of the prison stigma which
Shpman elects to endure, unless he will be granted
the pardon that would restore citizenship. 1t must
be regarded as heroic decision on part of the con-
victed banker and there are many who will be in
clined to admire him for it. He has resisted temp
tation that mighty few men would be able to re-
sist.--Charlotte Observer.

little item like that which informs US that the
horse and mule population of America has declined
by 100000 since 1920 probably produces no
more than casual interest, if that.
But behind that simple statement is a wealth of
economic meaning
This loss IN animal services to the country has
involved the occupations of millions of American
farmers and 100000 of their acres which were
required to produce the feed for 10000 900 horses
and mules. .,.......
There you have one of the reasons at least that
the agricultural and economic situation has become
topsy-turvy.
If these acres formerly used to support animal
life have been utilized to produce marketable prod,
ucts, they account to that extent for the surplus
ages of such products

count to that extent for farm labor forced into
