SENATE EXPECTED
TO ADOPT BONUS
Hearings and Discussion of
Tax. However, Would
Require Time.
Continued From First Page.)


the House yesterday turned down the
more orthodox Vinson bill, 207 to 204
in favor of the Patman new money
proposal The Vinson measure. sup
ported by the American Legion, did
not specify how the money should be
raised. leaving that to the Govern
ment.
Vinson Group Hopeful.
The closeness of this vote. which
preceded the fnal decision, led Vim
son supporters to predict that If the
Senate decided 10 adopt the Vinson
measure, the House might change its
mind and concur.
That q veto is forthcoming is gen.
orally considered certain. Not only
has the President taken stand
against payment Of the bonus now,
but a chief lieutenant. Donald Rich
berg, has said publicly there would
be no imitation.
Should the Patman bill finally be-
come law, this Is what would hap
pen:
A veteran who held an adjusted
compensation certificate would turn
it over to the Veterans Administra-
ton. receiving United States notes
currency-and coins for its face value
II he had borrowed against his GER
tiflcate, and not repaid the loan or
the interest on the loan. the amount
of the loan and any interest which
accrued before october /, 1881, would
be deducted.
Three and a half million veterans
hold adjusted compensation certifi-
Gates. They represent 81 for each
Gay he was in the United States dur
ing the war, plus sl.25 for each day
he spent overseas. plus a Is per cent
addition of that total, plus 4 per
cent interest for 20 years The cer-
tificates were issued in 1925. and un-
less Congress changes the law, do not
mature until 1915.
Twice before the House has passed
bill by Representative Patman to
pay the bonus. Both times 1t died in
the Senate. The flrst vote was on
June Is, 1882, with the bonus army"
on the Capitol steps. and the vote
was 2l1 to l76. The second was
year ago this month, and the vote
was 295 to 125.

PROCESSING TAXES
TO STAY IN FORCE
Wallace Denies Release of Bread,
Meat and Clothing Is
Intended.

BY the Associated Press.
A prediction by Senator George,
Democrat, of Georgia, that processing
taxes on bread, meat and clothing
would be lifted produced an immedi-
ate statement today from Secretary
Wallace that the Department Of Agri-
culture did not contemplate such
action.
In q statement George also pre-
dicted that President Roosevelt would
give positive assurance" that the
cotton price would not be permitted
to drop below the 12-cent loan level
now In effect.
There have been reports for some
time that the administration would
take action along that line.
Senators from cotton States have
urged immediate announcement OF
such a policy 10 reassure cotton farm
ers and the cotton trade.
Oficials of .he A. A. A. have been
reluctant, however, to make such an
announcement st this time, fearing .

Conclusion Comes on Heels
of Snow Resignation
From Experiment.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Calf, March 23-The
Governments apparently successful
tests with a radio-compass plane came
to a climax today In an aftermath Of
controversy.
Abrupt conclusion of the tests was
announced late last night close on the
heels OF the unexpected resignation
from the Department Of Commerce
staff of Maj. Chester Snow. who had
been in charge of the series OF flights
over the Pacific The radio-c compass
is designed to make ocean flying fool
proof"
Maj. Snow declined to explain his
resignation, but associates indicated
he surrendered his post because of a
controversy with Secretary OF Com
merce Roper over extending the eX-
perimental flights TO Hawaii, as the
major desired.
The planes crew previously had
made known it planned to fly to
Hawaii. but Secretary Roper directed
that the tests should be confined TO
flights of not more than 900 to 1000
miles out to sea and return.
Mai. Snow announced his resigna-
ton upon the completion of the last
of the test flights-a hop which took
the big dual-motored monoplane $50
miles to sea for contact with the
liner Mariposa and return.
Soon thereafter James L. Kinney
OF the Department of Commerce an
nounced that no more test flights with
the compass plane would be made and

the tense feeling created by Ger

Communique Abrupt.
Today's communique was OF the
same abrupt brevity as the one an
nouncing mobilization of troops for
the expedition to East Africa. 1t
said:
"The undersecretary Of the press
and propaganda communicates the
following: The head of the govern
ment and minister of armed forces
has ordered as precautionary meas
ure the recall by official notification
of the entire class Of 1911"
UnderSecretary of War Baistrocchi,
in a speech in the Chamber of Dep
uties previously had revealed that
members Of the class had received Of
fetal post cards with instructions to
hold themselves III readiness for mobil-
ization.
Previously some elements Of ths
1911 class had been called to the
colors to bring to full military
strength the two divisions sent to
East Africa. and to recruit replace
ments for the two divisions in Italy.
Mussolini spoke under a cloudy sky
In an occasional gusty rain, declaring:
The European situation is as
troubled as today's weather. But
Italy is giving a splendid example of
calm force. This Is because she is
strong not only in arms but in spirit" "
Shaking mis- fist at the crowded
square, II Duce shouted:
You must be ready for your fu-
ture task-which, In fact, is In the
near future"
On this anniversary he said he was
proud that the strength of the Fascist
party also had permeated the people

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Farley Due to Leave
Cabinet to Take Charge
of '36 Campaign.
BY PAUL MALLON.

A PERSONAL understanding Is
" supposed to exist between
~ Postmaster General Farley and
4 Il the boss, whereby sunny Jim
will relinquish the postmaster
generalship to handle the Roosevelt
campaign for reelection next year.
The agreement is supposed to have
been made casually and unofhcially
months ago. No time was set for the
change. 1t certainly will not be made
at any time when Farley is under fire,
even such pop-gun fire as Huey Long
has been Offering in the Senate. That
much is certain.
In fact, for the sake OF present
appearances, it may be necessary
tor both Farley and the White
House to continue to deny any such
moue is contemplated. After Long
ddjourns for the Summer, they
may come out With it.
The general assumption in Mr..
Farleys inner circle is that he will
not Jump until Fall at the earliest
and next Spring at the latest.
Explains Farley Delay.
This explains why President Roose-
velt has delayed so long in applying
his political-official segregation rule
to his political manager. You may
recall that, months ago, he ordered
all holders of party jobs and Official
Government positions to sever one
connection or the other. Amid silence
at the White House and the Post
Office, Farley has continued in both
jobs.
At first Farley thought he Mould
relinQuiSh the national chairman
ship and remain in the cabinet.
His pals say he liked the OFFICIAL
life. Later he discovered the Post
ONCE tDas dull 1t operates in a
routine way. He could liue in the
Fiji Islands and it tDould make
little or no difference in the tunc-
tioning OF the mails.
| Also, whatever patronage changes he
could effect from his official position
already have been affected. He cannot
even give a stamp to a friend now.

A long, tunnel-like runway has been
constructed, connecting the ancient

adjacent structure.

sorely needed, have not been given a

They are regarded as equipment,
