PATMAN OPPOSES
BONDBONUSPLAN
Harrison Compromise Hit
by Friends of Cash
Payments.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Representative Patman OF Texas.
whose bill to pay the bonus with new
currency already has passed the
House, appeared today to be the most
bitter opponent of the compromise
bonus bill offered yesterday by Sen
ator Harrison, Democrat, Of Mis-
sissippi.
Patman lashed out harder than
other critics at the proposal of the
Mississippian, who predicts his plan
will gain President Roosevelt's
approval.
the bonus battle than accept the
compromise, Patman contended. He
coupled this with a prediction that
the House would stand by his bill.
Advocates of cash payment were
generally hostile to the Harrison
measure, which would offer the vet
Grams negotiable bonds in exchange
for their bonus certificates. But
most of them withheld comment pend
ing further study Of the bill, or pro-
fessed to see some good in it.
Calls Move "Step Only"
1.-THE Harrison bill is a step in the
right direction, but only a STEP" said
a statement issued by James E. Van
zandt, commander in chief of the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
"As 1t stands, the measure would
fall far short of what World War
veterans consider an equitable settle
ment of their adjusted service pay"
The v. F. w. leader reiterated sup
port of the Patman measure.
Frank N. Belgrano. national COM
nander of the American Legion,
which has backed the Vinson bill to
pay the bonus in full but leave the
method Of payment open, declined
immediate comment on the compro-
mise plan. He said at Columbia, S.
c., that he was sending for q copy of
the bill to determine If the Legion
could support 1t.
Could Cash or Hold Bonds.
Experts who aided in drafting the
Harrison bill explained, meanwhile,
that under its terms veteran holding
q bonus certificate which would ma
ture under the present law at $1,000
in 1945 either could exchange 1t for
negotiable bonds for which he could
obtain $770 in cash, or hold the GER
tificate for 10 years and collect $1.115.
It was said that the average veteran
holding such a certificate already has
borrowed $500 against 1t. He would
have to pay OF his loan and interest
II he converted his bonus into cash.
If he did this Immediately under the
Harrison plan, Senate finance experts
said, the veteran would be left with
about SITS.

MEDICAL SOCIETY
SHES AT CENTER
Calls for Backers' Names
and Cites High Cost
of Project.

Charging that an endowment Of
from $50,0o0,0 900 to $l00,o00,0o0, in
excess of the contemplated cost Of
81, 900 900, would be necessary to
maintain the proposed Medical Center
In Washington, the Medical Society
Of the District of Columbia last night
definitely frowned upon the proposal
and called upon the Commissioners
Committee to name the promoters Of
the project.
The society adopted . nine-page
report by its Committee on Medical
Economics, in which strong argu-
ments were advanced against the pro-
posed Medical Center, to replace the
present disqualification system of the
city. The report pointed out that the
society still had an open mind in the
matter, provided the Commissioners
explained how such q project would
facilitate disqualification and that they
name the promoters and the form Of
guarantee they offered the public and
the medical profession that they were
capable of carrying the plan through.
It was also shown in the report that
the present per patient per day cost
in the local hospitals is about "a,
while the cost per patient per day
in the medical centers in New York
and in other cities Is $3.50.
Questions Seen Phrased.
The report stated that the Com
,,,ieejorare, Cop,roiffoa hod en ro,,rhod
their questions in their QUESTIONABLE
sent to the society, to civic and other
groups, for answer that any public
minded citizen must answer in the
affirmative. They pointed out that
one question intended for answer by
civic groups was: Would a modern
and well equipped medical center be
beneficial to Washington" They
contended that this question was mis-
leading in that it did not cover the
subject.
Experience in other localities has
clearly demonstrated that the original
cost of large medical centers is small
item in comparison with the continu-
ing cost of their successful operation"
the report said. This is particularly
true If they are to function as cen
tiers for medical and nursing educa-
ton and, above all, for medical re-
search. It has been shown that their
normal budgets run as high as IS
per cent to 100 per cent of their initial
cost and that their cost per patient
day is very high-$8.50 per day In only
large New York center.
One Of the main arguments ad-
vanced in favor of the plan was
scored by the report-that certain
savings to be affected through uni
fed and enlarged purchasing power
and reduction of overhead are to be
passed on to the consumer in the
form Of lowered costs for hospitaliza-
ton.
Non-Profit Talk Criticized.

that another part of the savings to
be passed on to the consumer would

Solution to Previous Contract Problem

The lure of 100 honors had led many a duplicate player to his downfall. Now that the honor count has been eleminated. dupli- cate players may bid their hands in more natural manner, and plcae the contract in the hand where 1t really should be.
 ! If you were dealt the South hand you certainly would not ex- pect to be the dummy. It required great self-restraint on South's part to give up his tremendous spade holding and permit his partner to play the hand
 Of all the South players who held these cards, only one stopped short of six spades, sacrificing his own hand in the interest of the
 Tie Bidding
 gouth's second round bid of four clubs was an attempt to find out whether his. partner could sun port that suit. If so, the slam at spades could be bid without dan ger. When North continued bid- ding diamonds, however, 1t was evident that he had freakish distribution which would be of no use to South.
 On the other hand, South's high card tricks would be useful at any contract and the void in hearts might be particularly help full. in view of North's two suit

hand. The maximum value of both hands could then be realized yb permitting North to be de- clarer. So South properly passed the six diamond bid.
 The Play
 The opening club lead was won by the ace and a small club wos ruffed in dummy, following with the abundance of high cards. the hand required careful play to make the contract.
 North led small heart and ruffed lin dudmmy, following with the ace of diamonds. Then the queen of clubs was led, West cov- cred with the king and North trumped.
 North took three rounds Of trump and then played his high hearts until West decided to win with the ace. which was the only trick lost,
 It is evident that six spades will not make against good defense. East will quickly discard his three small hearts. giving West the ln- formation that South iA void in thut suit. Both East and West VIII hold their clubs. and the de fense must make two tricks al the end.
