BuIkIey Puts Compromise
Bonus Plan to President

A possible compromise that will
dispose of the difficult bonus queS-
ton in Congress was suggested to
President Roosevelt today by Sena-
tor Robert Bulkley CD of Ohio,
who would not make public the
terms of the legislative measure
which he discussed at the White
House.
Senator Bulkley reported that
President Roosevelt had evidently
not changed his mind in the
slightest as to the immediate pay
ment of the bonus certificates.
He indicated that the President
will surely veto any bill for the I'M
mediate payment of the certifi-
Gates in cash or in any other way.
He said, however, that it is pos
sible to compromise the situation
and prevent the seriously political
split which Presidential veto
would cause.
Senator Bulkley said:
II have always voted against
the present payment of bonus
certificates and if the President
maintains his present stand l
will support him to the limit.
"The situation, however, Is
very difficult and I think that
anyone would be glad to lave it
disposed Of"
The Washington times., 1935-03-21

Q.-His answer was agitating?
A.-iYes.
Q.-Had he any prior words
with you? A.-No. I think he
wanted to justify his prior as
sertion that No. II is third-claSS
precinct.
Q.-Are you doing a bad job
over there? Al think we're
doing a pretty good job with the
size force we have.
Q.-Had Headley ever pointed
out in what respects you haven't
been doing your job? A.-No,
other than what I have just said.
Q.-The people in your precinct
are what we call law-abiding
aren't they? Ayes.
Took Examination
Q.-After your conversation
with Headley, did you take the
examination for captain? Ayes.
Q.-What was your efficiency
rating? A.-Sixty-three.
Q.-Then you were reduced
substantially from last year?
Ayes.
Q.-Were you given opportunity
to be heard? A.-No sir.
Q.-After you found your rating
had been reduced, did you talk
with Captain Marks? Ayes.
Q-What was said? Al was
advised that Inspector Headley
had said there were soma CAPTAINS

and lieutenants would always be
captains and lieutenants.
Q.-You asked the captain you
heard your rating had been re-
duced and asked him why? A..
Yes. He later told me he had
given me good ratings but they
had been reduced.
Q.-Inspector Headley is the
only one who handles it after it
left the captain? Ayes.
Q.-Do you think you've been as
diligent during the past year as
formerly? A.-More so, I think.
Given Hearing
Q.-You protested your rating.
Were you given a hearing? A.
Yes.
Q.-What did Headley say? A
Before I was transferred to No.
II precinct, was at No. 8 and
was attending classes in criminol-
ogy as detailed by the Police De-
partment. found that there were
so many extra details at No. 3 at
that time that I could not attend
the classes, so I asked to be trans
ferred to No. II. So at the hear
ing Inspector Headley said to me:
"YOu asked for a transfer to
No. III so you could get out Of
work, didn't yOu?"
OF course I denied this. I feel
that that was possibly the only
reason why my rating was re-
duceds =

F UNDS SOUGHT
FOR BRIDGES
IN DISTRICT
Senate Group Also Asked to
Keep School Fairgrounds
Open This Summer

New bridges and Fairgrounds
for washington were considered
today by the District subcommit-
tee of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.
. More than a score Of representa-
tives of citizens and business mems
associations appeared to press re-
quests that items. cut from the ap-
propriations bill be restored.
Bridge items discussed were:
Viaduct in line with Franklin
Street Northeast; $4,000 for sur
vey Of Pennsylvania Avenu e
Bridge; $4,000 for survey Of
Chain Bridge; $175,O00 for
STRENGTHENING Benning Road via
duct; 100000 for beginning con-
struction Of Michigan Avenue via
duct.
Plead for Funds
Pleas for funds for the bridges
were made by Richard B. English,
president Of the Southeast Busi-
ness Mems Association; A. w.
Lee, vice chairman Of the bridge
committee Of the Board Of Trade
and president Of the Randall
Heights citizens Association;
Thomas j. Llewellyn of the Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations;
Louis Frick and P. C. McGrath
of the southeast delegation, and
George Shinn Of the Board Of
Trade.
The southeast delegations were
very bitter in what they described
as poor judgment and bias on
the part Of the District Commis-
Sioners in not providing a new
Pennsylvania Avenue bridge, while
the northwest section of the city
has been provided for.
They declared development Of
Connecticut Avenue would make
Maryland more easily accessible
and paveS the way for people
working in the District to live in
the adjoining State while the in
crease for Southeast would open
up development of outlying sec
tionS of the District.
J. B. Wyckoff, representing the
Georgetown Public Library AS
sociation, asked for an additional
$2,625 for heat, light and supplies
for the Georgetown Public Library
which is expected to be opened
october /.
Miss Sibyl Baker, Of the Play
grounds Department, appeared at
the request Of Major Earl Ian
deth, president Of the city-wide
Fairgrounds council, to ask $26,-
500 to keep the school Fairgrounds
open during the summer and for
additional maintenance funds. It
was pointed out that the $26,500
would keep 40 Fairgrounds open
so days.

today, but a timely rainfall had
dissipated the cloud by 8 a. m.
A gloomy picture of the storm
swept States was drawn today by
H. H. Bennett, soil erosion expert
Of the Interior Department.
Declaring the storm to be the
worst in history, Mr.. Bennett said
that several million acres of land
in New Mexico, Texas and con-
tiguous States face outright de-
struction. Twenty-Five years of
faulty cultivation, he said. has
the soil in the southwest
ern States of the vegetable matter
so necessary to the preservation
of moisture. Thus, he said, the
land that has been devoted mainly
to grain raising finds itself coated
with fine dust that takes to the
air in the slightest gust of wind.
Crop Loss Heavy
To make matters worse, he
added, the drought that spread
destruction west of the Mississippi
last year is continuing, with the
exception of a few scattered areas.
The crop loss this year will be tre-
he predicted. To illus
trate his point. Mr.. Bennett said:
I'm the dust storm last May
we estimated that 300,OOO,OOO
tons of soil were taken from
the States west of the MisSiS-
Sippi. This is the equivalent of
100000 acres IL inches deep. Six
months ago we started work
down there to halt erosion, our
men going right onto the farms
and teaching the farmers how to
cultivate properly. But it's big
job and we're paying the penalty
now for poor cultivation of the
last quarter century. The crops
were not rotated properly"
Mr.. Bennett said the areas hard
est hit by the current dust storm
are western Oklahoma, southwest
Kansas, northwest Texas, south
east Colorado and northeast New
Mexico.
The tail-end of a dust storm
struck Washington in February,
but a rainfall nullified it's effect.
It was then that Washington
saw it's first ''yellow rain" A
Slighter manifestation occurred

HOUSE To SCAN
M'REYNOLDS'
BONUS BILL
Tenesseean Sees Chance OF
Compromise Acceptance
BY Administration
International News Service

Asserting the Administration
would welcome a compromise on
the soldiers bonus issue, Repre-
sentative Sam D. McReynoldS
CD, Tennessee, chairman Of the
House Foreign Affairs Committee,
today urged the House to accept
his compromise bill.
Representative McReynolds said
he had reasonable grounds" for
assuming that the bill could be-
come law.
Meanwhile a powerful campaign
by the American Legion for votes
deadlocked the bonus question
further.
Both Claim Gains
Leaders of the fight for the Vim
son bill, which presumably would
call for payment of the bonus by a
bond issue, claimed that they were
gaining votes rapidly. This is the
Legion measure.
Champions of the Patman
measure, however, declared that
they had 60 per cent of the votes
of the House and would retain
this lead on the showdown. Rep
resentative Patman is supported
by the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
They were encouraged by
statement by Senator Thomas
CD of Oklahoma, formally in.
dorsing the Patman bill.
Chairman Doughton CD of
North Carolina, of the Ways and
Means Committee, was hopeful
of winding up the bonus fight by
tomorrow night, but Speaker
Byrns expected a final vote to
be postponed until Monday.
Vote Due Today
With debate nearing an end, the
House may reach a vote on
amendments late today.
Proposals were to be made to
substitute the Patman bill for the
VinSon bill, which is under con-
sideration.
Substitution of the Tydings-
Andrews Cochran bond payment
bill and the present value" meas
ure of Representative Andrew (RD
