V|NSON, PATMAN
BLOCS DEFY
HARRISON
Legion's Plan May Be Victor
In SWAY Fight; Compromise
Appears Doomed
international News Service

With leaders of three bonus
groups lobbying desperately for
votes, the Senate today stood In
weekend recess before taking its
choice between the VinSon, Pat
man and Harrison bills for i'm.
mediate cash payment Of World
War adjusted service certificates.
There were indications the Vim
son bill, Endorsed by the Amerl'
can Legion but rejected by the
House, would be approved by the
Senate. This claim was dis
puted holly by advocates OF the
Patman bill, which passed the
House. Both groups, however,
agree the Harrison bill would be
defeated despite Administration
assurances that 1t would meet
with President RooSevelt's ap'
proval.
Costs Compared
The three bills differed widely
in terms with the veteran getting
more money under the VlnSon Dill.
Their respective costs to the Gov
eminent would be: Vinson bill, S.,
1853 100000; Patman bill, $2,2O1,'
100000 and Harrison bill, $1,199,'
100000.
Under the parliamentary situa-
ton, the Senate must choose first
between the VinSon and Harrison
bills. Then it must choose between
the victor in that contest and the
Patman bill.
Long Makes Charges
Both the Vinson and Patman
groups, apparently ready to unite
in defeating the Harrison bill, were
ready to vote yesterday but Ad-
ministration leaders insisted on a
weekend recess. This led Senator
Huey P. Long CD of Louisiana,
an advocate of the Patman bill,
to charge the Administration
