BONUS "PREST|GE"
ASKED BY HOUSE
Leaders Feel President

With Them.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An urgent plea that President
Roosevelt forego any attempt to
compromise or the bonus until the
Senate has acted has been made to
the White House by an administration
leader in the House.
Close friends of this member, who
asked that neither his name nor
theirs be used, disclosed this special
plea. Back of it is the complaint by
some Representatives that the White
House has done most of its COM
promising this session with the Sem
ate, thus giving that body prestige
These House members feel their
chamber should have q share of this
prestige.
Administration Firm.
With the administration standing
firm in its attitude against the bonus,
the House passed the Patman bill to
pay Immediately with new currency
If there are TO be compromise talks,
some Representatives feel the White
House should talk first with the
House
They take obvious comfort from
the report that leading administra-
ton Senators for some days have
tried. unavailingly. to determine the
Presidents attitude toward a COM
promise They said similar attempts
to get a presidential commitment on
compromise before the House voted
last week also failed.
Frequently this session. when con-
troversial questions were presented to
the House, Democratic leaders at
tempted to win from the President
an agreement to compromise. They
did that on the bill dealing with the
Federal per cent pay cut and on the
S4,880, ,000,0 900 works-relief bill.
Compromise Allowed.
Each time the word sent back TO
the House was that the administra- =
ton was insistent upon its original
position. Yet the Senate was allowed
to compromise on restoration of the S
per cent pay cut on April l and to
accept the Russell prevailing wage
amendment to the public works bill.
THAT has done anything but make
our life easy" said one prominent
