While exact figures on the Dis
trict bonus distribution scheduled for
Monday delivery are not available
from any government source, it was
estimated by Postmaster Vincent c.
Burke today that he now has at the
city post Office more than half" Of
the total number of bonds expected
for Washington.
Various estimates have been placed
on the total number of veterans here,
running to something more than 27,-
600, so the postmaster's estimate
would point to about $4,000 envelopes
now in the hands of the post Office.
Veterans Not to Lose Jobs.
Meantime it was recalled that
policy of the Works Progress Admin
istration, announced long ago. will
not throw any veterans off relief jobs
Just because they are receiving the
bonus.
Harry L. Hopkins, W. P. A. admin
istrator. explained months ago that
II veteran was in need of relief his
bonus would make no change in his
status so far as w. P. A. job was
concerned.
To make sure there will be no dis
elimination against veterans the Sem
ate some time ago inserted into the
deficiency bill an amendment, which
has now gone to conference, stating
specifically that the fact a veteran
receives bonus cannot be used
against him on relief job.
Warns Against Disappointment.
To warn veterans against disap-
pointment in case they do not get
their bonus Monday night or Tues
day morning, Postmaster Burke said:
I'VE hope the veterans will be
patient if they do not receive their
envelope with bonds and check on
the first deliveries Monday night
and Tuesday morning We shall
clear everything from the city post
office Monday night and Tuesday.
But additional bonds are constantly
arriving from the Treasury Depart
ment. and We expect that this flow Of
envelopes will continue right on
through next week"
The system of delivering by reg
istered mail has been so perfected,
Burke said, that the delivery will be
able to keep ahead of the flood Of
bonus mail coming to the post Office
from the Treasury Department.
Veterans still were filing their ap-
plications today. The Veterans Ad-
ministration was said to have a huge
amount of work piled up. on which
they are making steady progress. 1t
is too late now for a veteran to ex-
pect to file his application and re-
ceive his bonds Monday night or
even early next week, officials pointed
out.
Meanwhile, officials plan to take to
the radio tonight to explain last
minute details to the veterans. Post
master Gen. Farley and Veterans Ad-
ministrator Frank T. Hines will head
a nation wide broadcast over the
National Broadcasting Co. stations at
Z o'clock tonight.
Postmaster Burke will speak for
IS minutes, beginning at pm. over
WJSV on local arrangements here
for taking care of the bonus. Burke
also will talk tomorrow night from
WRC at Sis for Is minutes.

 Frederick W. Puckey of this city and Terrence J. O'Neill of oxford are seeking the union party nomina- ton and will seek endorsement at tonight's district meeting of the N. U. s. j. Should the N. U. s. J. democrats succeed in nominating one of their choice on the democratic ticket they would draw many votes from the union party candidate and weaken the chances of the latter nominee.

 Hackers of MT. Dyer last night threw Q bombshell Into the Torring. ton democratic caucus by entering A slate of delegates opposed to Con. gressman Smith. AS the town cofn- mittee entered slate backing Smith 6 primary became necessary under party rules, hence Saturdays test of strength.

 Dyer Withdrew Last Time
 Two years ago Dyer sought the nomination for congress but with- drew from the race the day before the district convention with tho re- suit that Congressman Smith was nominated unanimously. Last night he was reported as seeking the noin- nation again this year because he announced his belief in the l6 prin- ciples Of the N.U.S.J. program. Con- grcsSman Smith declined today to comment on the report Of Overs candidacy.
 MT. Dyer informed the Democrat that he would certainly accept the democratic congressional nomina. ton If the district convention chose to give 1t to him, but, he pointed out, he would not engage in any floor fight with the Waterbury ins cumbent.
 Waterbury Behind Smith
 Waterbury'S thirty-Bix delegates to the district convention will be elected Monday night at the City Hall. They will be pledged to gup- port Congressman Smith. Fights occurred last night in two other towns of the district ct democratic caucuses. Motions to pledge deles gates for Smith from Plymouth and Ansonia failed. The Naugatuck del- egation will go unpledged, but will be headed by Warden John Sheri- dan whose stand towards Smith is considered doubtful.
 Barkhamstead, Sharon, Winsted, Seymour, Canaan and Salisbury are among the towns in the district who have pledged their delegates to Congressman Smith. Of the re- maining delegates an overwhelming number are for the local man. Already the opposition slate of dele- gates introduced in Torrington last night has begun to disintegrate. One Torrington woman last night de- clared she would have her name re. moved from the anti-Smlth ticket. Two or three others were reported as being ready to follow her ex. ample today. The N.U.SJ. forces in Torrington figure to have . can- dIdate run on the democratic ticket. but this is likely to draw votes from the union party nominee who will ! be endorsed tonight at a meeting of

E1kteen or those Wno parLlcl- pated in the February revolt have been executed and c hundred odd more punished by varying terms of iInpronionment. Martial law in Tokyo was lifted five months after the incident but as yet no one knows just how much of Q faction was represented by the rebls or whether the roots of rebellion are etili alive.
 As . consequence, leaders are making every effort to restore confidence in national stability. This has not been accomplished to any great degree. Many plan for government reformation" have been advanced but no clear-cut and straightforward acton has been instituted.
 Criticize Cabinet
 There have been criticisms of the Hirota cabinet and charges have been made in newspapers elid elsewhree that 1t lacks defin- 1te purpose.
 Considerable publicity was given to . report that national policies were to be considered by the cab- tnet in mid-July. When Hirota suddenly altered that program and referred the reformation" plans back for further study his goVern- xnent was bounced upon vigorously by It's critics.
 Taxation and budgeting for tho aFny and navy are among the more difficult questions facing the Hirota regime, in addition to the always present necessity of pushing Japan'B foreign trade SO that the national income will not Dc jeopardized.
 Demands FlFmness
 The minister of war, Gen. Hi- eaichi Terauchi, jumped into the scramble of discussions when, in his first press interview since as- eurning office, he said the govern- nnent should carry out necessary reforms with 0 firm hand and that any official too weak"hearted to participate should resign.
 Tt iB 6 time of emergency" he gaid, land when 6i persons out of 100 support 6 plan 1t has to be carried out despite the opposition of hte other 70. Such determina- ticn b necessary. If the Diet op. poees, the government should be determined to dissolve 1t even three or four times"
 Terauchi said that the army was cooperating and that the plant for his department had been submit- ted to the premier not from the standpoint of war minister but from the standpoint Of e minister of state.
 Urges Reform
 "Fundamental administration re. form is tho most urgent matter in Japan today" he said, land it is tho chief duty of the present cabinet to carry it out"
 He recommended bond issues as an alternative to increased taxation. Tt may Do proper" he said. ito
