CLASH ON BONUS
International News Service

Sponsors of rival 1000 million
dollar bonus bills clashed before
the House Ways and Means Com,
mittee today as hearings opened
on the issue.
Representative Patman CD Of
Texas, whose bill is backed by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, and
Representative Vinson CD of
Kentucky, sponsoring the Ameri-
can Legion's bonus bill, locked
horns on the initiation issue.
Representative Vinson charged
that Representative Patman's bill
would cause a sweeping change in
the nations monetary system.
Representative Patman emphatic
ally denied that it is an initiation
measure.
All parties were notified by
Chairman Doughton CD of North
Carolina of the committee that
hearings will be ended tomorrow
night. He hopes to have the bill
passed in the House this week.
While the Patman bill calls for
issuance of new money, the Ameri.
can Legion bill leaves the method
OF payment to the Treasury.

ported the Patman bill. He said,
attcking a plan for a bonus bond
issue:

bonus but objected to lump sum
payment.

four days in Rhodesian jungle

Lady Young was located at
Gowke, in south Rhodesia, after
friends and searching parties had
almost abandoned hope. She and

appeared while flying from here
to Lusaka last Thursday. DR..
Kirby also was found uninjured.
Because of the dangerous coun-
try in which they were lost, con-
siderable alarm grew for their
safety. Major Sir Hubert Young,
the governor, himself led the
search for his wife.
Lady Young was at the con-
trolls of the plane, despite the
fact she had just been released
from a hospital after a serious
illness.
