Bonus Advocates Are
Seeking New Proposal
to Some Other Bill Meanwhile There Is Threat
Of Bonus March to Washington
BY H. q. THOMPSON
United Press Stan Correspondcn

y y
washington, May 24-(UP)-
The threat of a new bonus march
on Washington was coupled today
with a drive by bonus advocates to
push through. measure which
might escape the death blow the
senate dealt yesterday to the Pat
man bill.
A half-dozen bonus proposals,
rising in the wake of the senate's
action in refusing to override Pres
ident Roosevelt's veto of the Pat
man bonus bill, were pending.
Plans for the new, march of vet
Grams on washington were revealed
in Los Angeles by r. w. Robertson
remembered here as the veteran
who led the death march around
the capitol in 1882 when the senate
was voting on the cash bonus bill.
Bonus Riots Broke Out
The bill was defeated then. Short
ly afterward the bonus riots broke
out. Robertson said that more than
1000 veterans would start the
trek from California, picking up
recruits along the way.
One significant development
which followed the 54 to 40 vote
which upheld the president yester-
day with eight more votes than he
needed was the definite trend to-
ward separating the bonus from
the imitation issue. Much of the OPP
position to the Patman bill was
based on the assertion that it
would start the printing presses
rolling toward uncomfortable in
fiation.
New Bonus Proposal
The leading bonus proposal now
is that of Sen. Bennett Champ
Clark, D.. Mo-, who will attempt to
have the senate rules suspended in
order to attach bonus rider to
the pending navy appropriations
bill. A two-thirds vote is required
for such a procedure.
IF we can get two-thirds vote

Representative Thoms was
amending the sales, tax, which he
said -he believed he would also OPP
pose, as 1t had been previously
amended III the senate. that is by
demanding exemption Of all food
stuffs and imposing a tax on all
interest and dividends. The sales
tax was defeated in the senate BY
one vote.
Four Tax Measures
The house was to consider four
tax bills during the discussion, all
calculated to bring In. additional
revenue and to balance the budget.
In defending his amendments Rep
resentative Thofns said that all
foodstuffs should be exempted, not
merely milk and bread, If this type
of tax is to be levied. He also cx-
planned the second amendment by
stating that IL exemptions on food
stuffs were allowed tn Gloss in rev.
enue could be made. up by a tax on
interest and dividends.
At the same time Representative
Thoms took the occasion to protest
1.-THE proposed tax on, cigarettes. In
terviewed several days ago Repre-
sentative Thoms had been unde-
cided as to his action on the Gig
arctic tax.
The debate on the sales tax
Estarted when bill calling for an
additional tax on unincorp0rated
business came up. Representative
Thoms made a motion which would
have deferred action on this meas
ure until after the sales tax had
bee nconsidered, but the motion
was defeated and the tax on un-
incorporated businesses adopted.

Of great interest to hay fever victims.
1t follows:
Characteristics Given.
'Hay fever is o seasonal disease
characterized by the well known
symptoms, acute coryza and conjunc-
tivitis, with or without asthma as a
complication. 1t Is produced in
sensitized individuals by the inhala-
ton of pollen and was the first disease
to be definitely attributed to protein
sensitization. 1t is more common in
the Fall and at this time Of the year.
The pollens which more often cause
1t are ragweed, sun flower and daisy.
by what Is known as skin testing,
the specific pollen may be found which
is the cause in the individual case
The preventive treatment Of hay fever
is better than the curative treatment.
1t should be begun early in the season.
This prophylactus is accomplished by
administering at regular intervals
small doses Of the specific pollen for
that individual. The curative treat
ment is helpful, though less efficient
and is accomplished by variouo means.
especially by means Of drug known
as ephedrine.

SUBWAYS SURVEY
APPROVAL GIVEN
City Heads Order Request
for S25,0 600 From Con.
greSS to Study Plans.

Funds for an engineering study Of
the cost and feasibility of a subway
system for the District will be sought
at the next session Of Congress.
Corporation Counsel Prettyman was
directed today by the District Commis-
sicners to make favorable report on
the bill of Chairman Norton of the
House District Committee for this
purpose. An item of $4,000 for the
study has been suggested.
Definite opposition to any expendi-
lures for subways. even for engineer
ing studies, was registered today by
James G. Yaden, president of the
Federation of Citizens Associations, in
a communication to the Commits
sioners.
Washington is in no position. finan-
cially. to construct subways," he de-
clared, nor Is there any necessity
for the construction Of subways If
Washington will do what other cities
have done, namely. prohibit the park
ing of automobiles on downtown
streets"
Commissioners Hazen and Sultan
said today they had not yet COM
mitted themselves on the subway pro-
posal, but that there was so much I'M
certainty as to cost estimates the sur
vey should be approved.
Peoples Counsel William A. Roberts
has been the leading champion Of the
subway plan. He believes traffic con-
gestion is reaching the point where
Subways for street-car transportation
must be provided in the more down.
town areas.
The cost would run around $4,000
900 for his plans, he believes from re-
ports Of costs in other cities. He pro-
poses subway approximately under
the line of E street from the Capitol
to Twenty-second street. Feeder sub
way lines would run up Fourteenth
street to point above Thomas Cir
Gle and up Connecticut avenue To a
point above Dupont Circle.

RAILROADS GIVEN
UNDERPASS ORDER
Work on Eighteenth Street
Project to Be Finished
Within Two Years.

Orders for construction Of an under
pass for the railroad tracks approx
mately on the line Of Eighteenth
street northeast were issued by the
District Commissioners today to the
Baltimore & Ohio and the Philadel-
phia, Baltimore & Washington Rail-
road, q Pennsylvania Railroad sub
sidiary.
The work must be finished within

projects for vehicular crossings for the
railroad tracks north Of New York
avenue northeast, authorized by an
act of the present session of Congress

to be erected on line from Brent
wood road and T streets northeast TO
a point along New York avenue some
where between Fourth street and
Mount Olivet road northeast. Orders
for the latter will be issued after the
Commissioners have made studies for
the southern terminus Of the viaduct.
The direction for progress on the
underpass was issued after the Com
missioners had ordered recorded
changes in the line of the proposed
Montana avenue northeast, which
will connect Rhode Island avenue at
about Fourteenth street northeast
with the intersection Of New York and
West Virginia avenues and Eighteenth
street.
The old line suggested for Montana
avenue has been swung farther to the
east because Of grade conditions and
to afford a better entrance to the
subway.
The Commissioners will take steps
soon for the purchase or condemnation
Of land needed for the realignment Of
Montana avenue. Eighteenth street
will be connected with the new Mon
tana avenue north of the subway so
as to afford a direct entrance to the
crossing from the north and east
without causing traffic to 60 west as
far as. Fourteenth street to Montana
avenue.
The railroads were directed to sub
NIT their plans for the underpass
within six months. The Commission
ers will pass on these before actual
construction can be started.
