Mechanics ef Bill


 Washington, Jan. li.--tUP) .--The mechanics of the veterans united front bonus bill are perhaps the simplest of any similar measure ever before congress.
 Here k how it works.
 1. A veteran surrendeFg his cer- tincates to the administrator 0i veterans affairs for payment i'm. mediately.
 2. Payment would be made al full face value less deducti0nS f0I loans against them. All paid and unpaid interest on loans k can celled.
 2. If a veteran does not choose to surrender his certificates im- mediately, he would receive three per cent annually AE interest begin- ming April 6. 1897. until January l, i04D.
 {. If the veteran dies after mak- ing application. payment would be made t0 his beneficiary.
 Currency InnatIen
 Washington, Jan. II -- (UP) --- The currency infiAtion issue surg cd up in the house today, becoming one of the most Tn0ment0us con- troyerEiss of the session.
 The two threats involved. the Frazier-iemke e3,000, ,000, 900 inna . tl0nary farm mortgage refinancing bill vote; the PatmAn proposal td force payment Of the soldiers b0nui in 42,O00, 100000 of new money.
 Majority leaders agreed there wa but slight chance of blocking of the farm relief measure in view of 20t signatures. But nine more sigma lures are nesded to assure Q house vote.
 Passage of the non -infAtiOnary bonus bill by the house yesterday under joint action of all veterans organizations was under the tacit understanding that Rep. Wright PatmAn, d., Texas, could push fol his currency inration payment method.
 How VIII It Be Paid?
 If the bonus bill passes, either over a veto or without, the issue Of how the bonus will be paid autos matiGally comes before congress There are three methods, either new taxes, bond issues, or infiAti0n Patman WAS prepared to fight f0T the latter.
 Ths FSazier-I.smks bill was the immediate threat. The house agrar- ian bloc and various senators have served notice that currency infiA- ti0n iA the only way. in their 0pir- Ion, that immediate relief may be given the farmer in view of the Supreme Court AAA decision. Last session the administration succeed d- cd in blocking the bill, by prevail ing on lB house members 10 with draw their signatures from the pee titl0n. Leaders admitted today that they could not carry this further. Completion of the petition next week would virtually assure a house vote before Feb. l.

 The eccentric Condons sudden departure created the most intense speculation, since it has been aE- stunned he would be held in readi- ness by state attorneys to refute any attack before the pArdons court on his Gredibiiity.
 Hauptmann Not Called
 The judges of the court indicated, although none would say, that they would refuse to hear Hauptmann In person. lie asked the personal hearing two weeks ago iD letter D 00v. Harold q. Hoffman, presid- ing 0fiicer Of the court. Precedent was against him.
 He was represented before the court of three lawyers hired with the defense fund raised by MrB. Anna IiAuptnann in tour of the country last spring. Q. Lloyd Fisher, his chief counsel, was t0 present his case, assisted by Egbert Rose. efAnA and Frederick A. Pope.
 They claimed to have new eyi- dence that Undoubtedly" would win Hauptinann q reprieye for the dura- ton Of an investigation. IL was supposed to attack his conviction on four principal points, contending:
 New Evidence Claimed
 1. That the child found dead near the Lindbergh estate in the New JeFaey B0urlAnd mountains was not proven to be Col. Charles A. Lindberghs E0n.
 2. That ransom money appeared in New York banks from s0urceB admittedly not connected with Hauptmann.
 2. That "JaSsie" could not iden. tify HAuptmAnn in New York police state jn September, 1884 but identified him positively At his Bennington trial four months later.
 {. That isador Fisch, from whom HAuptinann asserted he obtained the ransom currency he had, told other persons before he left the country that he had some "h0C money.
 Directed At CODA0n
 The several angles at which At- tack was directed at COndOn's part in conyictiDg HauptmAnn raised the elderly teachers sudden departure for South America L0 supreme im- portAnce.
 With Lindbergb in Great Britain and "JAfsie" on the Seas, the only witnesses who connected iiaupt. mann directly with the Kidnapping were outside the courts Jurigdiction. Attorney General David T, Wilentz, who prosecuted Hauptmanfl and Aps peaYed for the state today, an- nOunced that "JAfsie" informed him . week ago Of his intention to dee part before the court Of paFdOils met.
