Senate Passes Bonus Bill
House Must Voice Approval
Again Before President
Gets Measure
CAN OVERRIDE F. DIS. VETO

A soldiers bonus bill, calling for
payment of full 1945 maturity value
in $50 bonds, was showed to within
q step Of the White House Monday
night as the Senate passed it along
to a receptive house by top-heavy
vote Of "a to Is.
The nearly five to one majority
rolled up for the Democratic-Re-
publican two billion dollar proposal
was easily more than enough to
pass it over veto. The house al
ready has approved immediate
payment by an even greater ma
jority-056 to 59-but without spe-
cifyirs the payment method. Some
ol4e ers predicted a veto, but even
Democratic leaders said it would be
overridden.
Speaker Byrns said the "baby
bonds" bill would be taken up in
the house Wednesday, allowing
members a days notice. Bonus
leaders predicted house acceptance
of the senate substitute by an over
whelming ballot.
A double defeat in the senate for
payment of the World War adjust
ed service certificates in new cur
rency was expected to influence
house supporters of the infiationary
Patman bill, vetoed last session, to
refrain from pressing this issue.
Highlights of the bonus bill pass
ed Monday by the senate are:
Bonds would be issued in $50 de-
nominations to pay in full next
June the 1885 maturity value of the
20-year bonus certificates issued in
1925. Cash would be paid for odd
amounts.
Bonds would be for full value,
minus loans against certificates and
unpaid interest accrued before Oct.
l, 1881. Interest after that is can
celled.
Veterans may cash at any local
pSSoffice all or part of his bonds,
but if they do so the first year they
receive no interest. If they hold the
bonds to maturity they receive 8
per cent simple interest annually.
Veterans who haven't applied for
the bonus may continue to do so.
Ultimate estimated cost: $2,491,
100000 composed of an appropria-
ton authorization of $2,237, 900, 600
and $254, 100000 in convertible
bonds in the adjusted service certi-
ficate fund.

Congress Has
Tough Week
Fleeing Legislation Necessary
According To White House
Conference Report

Bonus, neutrality, and farm aid
legislation is claiming the attention
of Congress which started it's third
full week Monday.
Administration chiefs predict
bonus legislation will be enacted
before the month is out, nothwith-
standing possible presidential OBJ
lection, and committee in both
branches are pushing forward in
framing permanent legislation to
steer the nation clear of future for
eign conflicts.
The senate has two committee
approved farm bills before it. One,
by Republican Leader McNary, of
Oregon, would authorize an appro-
priation of $3OO,OOO,OOO to pay
farmers for acreage reduction con-
tracts entered into before the Su-
preme court decision invalidated
AAA. Another by Chairman Smith,
Democrat, South Carolina, of the
agriculture committee would autho-
rize the customary annual appro-
priation of $60,OOO,00O for seed
loans.
A third farm measure which
some have limited might be labeled
the administration bill may be in
troduced Tuesday by Senator Bank
head, Democrat, Alabama. This
would amend the 1885 soil conser-
walton law and appropriate $780,
100000 to resume in some respects
a control principle. not unlike the
old AAA. I.
Following an hours conference
at the White House Thursday,
Speaker Byrns told news men the
necessity of enacting farm legisla-
ton "is so immediate that it has got
to be done at the earliest possible
moment, and there won't be time
for permanent legislation"
Administration leaders who par
ticipated in the conference said
that, while "details remained to be
worked out, the general plan was
this:
1. Crop production would be ad-
justed through retirement of acre
age as a soil conservation anad ero-
sion prevention measure.
2. Farmers would be reimbursed
for land thus retired through Fed
eral rental" payments.
8. Such authorization as is neces-
sary will be sought through amend
ments to existing laws, rather than
new ones.
4. An appropriation Of 100000
to $500, 100000 will be requested to
reimburse farmers under the inval-
idated 1885 adjustment contracts.
6. A permanent" program might
be sought later this session or de-
ferred until next year.
z. Provisions of the AAA un-
touched by the Supreme Courts de-
cision would be strengthened and
more fully utilized.
