ROLL CALL VOTE
ON BONUS DUE
ON FRIDAY
House Rules Committee Plans
To Call Up Three Bills
For 10 Hours Debate
International News Service

international NEWS SeEVlCo
In an extraordinary effort to
please all factions, the House
Rules Committee today paved the
way for roll call votes on three
differnet 1000 million dollar SOL
dier bonus bills.
A special rule was recon-
mended to make this possible.
The votes would be on the Vinson
non-inflation bill, backed by the
initiation bill, sponsored by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, and
the compromise bond payment
plan in the Tydings- Andrews
Cochrane bill.
Recommends Only 3
The committee also voted to
make it in order to substitute any
other bonus bill-about 80 are
pending - but recommended a
rollcall vote on only three.
A total of II hours debate was
recommended, 10 hours on the bill.
Chairman O'Connor (DD of New
York, of the Rules Committee, said
that the bonus would be brought
to the House floor tomorrow.
Three to five days may be con-
sumed before q final vote is
reached.
After having delayed action on
the bonus in the House for two
weeks, Democratic leaders were
confronted with insistent demands
for consideration.
Sponsors of the Vinson and Pat
man bills both were making per-
sonal canvasses in an effort to
corral votes. While the Ways and
Means Committee recommended
the Vinson bill, it also asked that
vote be permitted on the Pat.
man bill.
Rule Unprecedented
An unprecedented special rule
was approved to make possible
consideration of three bills.
The Vinson bill calls for cash
payment of the bonus, but pro-
vides no special method of pay
ment. The Patman bill would
pay it by issuance of new money.
The Tyding compromise would
give terans interest-bearing
bonds equal to the present value
of bonus certificates, estimated
at 80 per cent of the 1945 ma
turity value.

sat back at last, baffled. Twice during

CHAPTER XXXvI.
BURNED LETTER.

- APHNE was at the door. Rob-
ert Rede opened 1t for her.
Alison, standing rigid, para
- lyzed by shock, watched
them 60 out together and
heard Daphne, in the hall, murmur
MY dear, that's It'll I'll speak to
DR.. Mortimer for you, and I know
a wonderful maid"
Alison did not move, but she found
her knees shaking, her hands trem-
bling, as If she had fever.
No matter what happened now,
her father would never again believe
her! She would be carted OF, help
less, to Spain with some grim maid
chosen by Daphne to support the
hideous prtense that she was victim
of hysteria and nerves!
She stared at the fireplace blankly,
wondering If she were to run away to-
night, escape, whether she would be
safe. Would they chase her, catch
her, bring her back, even shut her up,
perhaps, in some CHASTITY nursing
home?
The whole familiar room seemed to
have grown cold and horrible, un-
friendly, as she stared down into the
fire.
Suddenly she stopped, caught up a
scrap of torn paper.
Charred at one corner, where it
had been lying on the iron bars, it
burned her, but she did not know it.
For she was staring at the words
scrawled in a clean, firm hand, cut
short by the diagonal tearing of the
sheet.
"-f you know, Also" and below
"-et no answe-" with, at the bot
tom, the bold signature, Guy Lu-"
ending in burned, dark brown edges.
A letter to herself from Guyl
She had swift vision of Daphne
standing by the oak chest in the hall.
So that was what she had been doing
there! That was why she had stood
with skirts outSpread before the fire!
A red blaze Of anger swallowed
Alisons fear. She dropped on her
knees on the hearth rug, gathering
up all the charred bits she could
find-not more than half a dozen lit
tie pieces, and two of those almost
burnt!

stored In the attic: she dared not get
it, since that would mean tip-toeing
past her fathers door and up the
servants stairs. She found an old
round hat box which she had used
to keep some private. treasured school
mementos.
She put these on the shelf and filled
the hat box up. She changed quickly
into the gray suit, added q gray felt
hat and little marten fur, her stout
est pair Of gloves and thick, dark shoes.
Yet it was already past three when she
unlocked the door quietly and stole
very softly down the thick maroon
carpet Of the passage to the stairs.
What noise each step seemed to
make at night! She did not dare to
turn a light on but found the front
door and felt for the chain. The
latch gave under her hand and a
rush of cold air nipped her as she got
the door open. The square looked dark
and unfamiliar at this hour, with
nothing moving and the lamps dim in
rising fog.
victoria-St. Pancras2 She had so
little money that she chose Victoria
although it was near, almost too near
for safety. The hat box weighed
heavily on her arm and she was afraid
that some policeman, noticing her,
might stop her to ask what she was
doing at that hour, carrying a bag.
She went into the station; it was
empty but there was waiting room
with many people sitting, half asleep,
along its shiny benches. She chose
to wait In the third, as being less
likely to contain any one she knew. 1t
was half an hour before the hustle Of
train arriving released her from an
uncomfortable vigil between fat old
man and brightly painted, all-too-
friendly French woman.
Bag in hand, Alison made her way
toward the incoming train, mingling

INDIANS ACCEPT
i. S. TRIBAL FUNDS
More Than Half Vote for
Corporations, Although
Navajos Refuse.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The commissioner of Indian affairs
says that considerably more than half
the Indians offered the opportunity to
establish Federally- financed corpora
tions for tribal activities have &C
cepted it.
The plebiscites on the corporations,
for which the Wheeler Howard In
dian reorganization act appropriated
s1O,0oO,O 900 for a revolving fund, said
John Collier, the commissioner, show
ed 1874 reservations, with population
of 1913, ,467, had voted yes.
Fifty-four, with population of S5,-
179, rejected the proposal, including
the Navajo tribe, which with $4,000
members in New Mexico, Arizona and
Colorado is the largest in the country.
The Navajo election showed 7,795
voting for and 8,214 against the cor
porations.
Collier, who with Chairman Rogers,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, of the House
Indian Committee, termed the results
''as satisfactory as we could expect in
view of the opposition and misunder-
standings of the aims of the act" as
serted that many of the opposing
arguments were knowingly false"
Collier said many of the reserva-
tions which had voted against the
corporations desired to vote over, but
that special legislation would be
necessary.
"All of the New Mexico and Hopi
Pueblos," Collier said, ARE in, with the
exception of Jamez in New Mexico.
All of the Southwest is in with the
exception of the Navajos."
simultaneously, Collier predicted
that the pending Thomas-Roger bill,
which would appropriate 100000
and extend the application of the
Wheeler Howard act to the 100000
Oklahoma Indians, would be approved
