This is in contrast to ap- proxiinately 300 yesterday morning and a total at the close of business last night of 647. Veterans organi- zation leaders advanced several the- ories for the unexpected hesitancy in cashing the bonds.
 Many Veterans Waited

 IS AGREED UPON

Washington, June 17-(UP)--- House and senate confereeS reached complete agreement today on the deficiency bill carrying SLABS, ,000, 900 for 1887 relief needs, an ar- arrangements were made to act on 1t in the house later today.

STATE SUPREME
 COURT DECIDES
Error Found in Part of Local Case-NO Error
 in Rest of It

The state supreme court of er- TOTS, in a decision handed down to- day. finds Q common pleas court verdict in the suit of Celestine Boileau against the Connecticut Go. and John Williams partly in error. The high tribunal finds that there was no error in the awarding of judgment to the plaintiff against Williams, but finds error and orders a new trial for the defendant Con- necticut Go.
 A common pleas court jury here, after the case had been tried before Judge Edward J. Finn, gave the plaintiff damages against both de- fendants. The action was based on an accident in which Boileau was in- jured when the bus in which he was riding stopped near his home, and was struck by the car driven by Williams.
 Defendants Appealed
 The two defendants appealed from the refusal of Judge Finn to set aside the jury verdict, also on the grounds Of claimed errors in the judges charge, and the refusal to charge as requested.
 The supreme court holds that from the evidence Williams could have seen the bus, even though 1t was stopped on a curve, for dis tance of PTS feet. He could have brought his car to stop without. either hitting the bus or a pedes- trian. who he claimed caused the accident.
 Red Light No Cause
 In regard to the claim that the bus should have It's red light on in the rear while halted, the court says that Williams testimony that he saw the bus from 8 considerable distance shows that the failure to have the warning light on was not a proximate cause of the collision.
 The opinion of the supreme court is written by Justice Banks, with the other members of the court con- curing.
 Attorney Michael V. Blansfield ap- peared for the plaintiff. Attorneys Watrous and Cooper of Hartford ap- peared for the Connecticut O., and Attorney Harrison Schofleld for Williams.

Two Will Have Hearings Before Judge Dickensorl

 The commission revoked Lauria's license May 6. Tn the appeal, 1t is alleged that the revocation was "un" reasonable, arbitrary and unwar- rantable." Judge Dickenson IS asked to refer the case to a state referee for Q recommendation.

MAJOR BANNICAN !. ON BOND INTEREST
Explains Why Some Vets Have to Pay on Loans
 Before Sept. l, l93l

Hartford, Conn.,, Iiaue l7--(UP)-- Mai. Thomas J. Bannigan, manager of the Veterans Administration for Connecticut. today issued state ment explaining apparent short- ages" in amounts received by vet- erans in settlement of their ad- iusted service certificates.
 'The general opinion among vet- terans," he said, ''seems to prevail that all interest charges on loans made on the bonus certificates were waived, regardless of the late the loan was made. This is not cor- rect.
 "The law providing for final set- tlernent of adjusted service certi- ficates authorized the waiving of all interest charges after Sept. 30, 1881. In other words, veterans who made loans on their certificates at any time prior to Sept. 30, 1881, are charged interest, according to law, on such loans from the date the loan was made up to and including Sept. 30, 1881.
 "The rates of interest charged on these loans vary from 3 i-2 per cent to s Ia per cent. depending i,pon the rate of interest in effect af the time the loan was made, and the actual interest charges range from a few cents up to twenty dol- lars. depending on the amount bor- rowed and the duration of the loan. These interest charges were there fore added ts any outstanding loans and were deducted from the face value Of the certificates ct the time final settlement was authorized"

THIRD PARTY IS
 NOT PROBABLE
Leaders of Other Parties Do Not Take Threat
 Very Seriously
Rv MACK JOHNSON

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Washington, June IT, (UP - Prominent democrats and republi- cans refused to take seriously today the third party threat of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin and the Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith, share-the- wealth followers of the late Senator Huey P. Long. But in Chicago a person high in the Townsend old age pension movement told the United Press that a coalition of the three leading minorities seeking radical social legislation Coughlin's Union for Social Justice, the old age pension societies of pr. Francis E. Townsend, and what remnants of Longs share-the-wealth clubs Smith is able to command had selected a presidential candidate all would support President Roosevelt and Governor Ali M. Landon.
 Trend Was Noticed
 The Chicago revelation followed a trend toward some sort of informal amalgamation of the three move ments noticeable for several weeks. Townsend and Smith already had formed an open alliance to defeat President Roosevelt, and Coughliil in New York yesterday announced that before Friday night there might be a third presidential candidate in the field who would engage the attention of 25,000,00 voters" He already had showed marked inter- set in a coalition fight on the nom. inees of the two old parties. But in the capital, these political rumblings reused little or no interest. Lead ing strategists of both old parties dismissed them with the all but comment that such a coalition wouldn't have chance"
 Speculate On Nominee
 The capital speculated as to the nominee of the coali- ton. Three names-Rep. William Lemke, R. N. D., former Governor Joseph Ely of Massachusetts and Dr. Townsend-were most promi- nent. Sources close to Coughlin said he planned to announce Friday that Lemke is his choice. In New York, however, the Detroit priest hinted that Ely might be the man.
