and passed by both Houses Of Con-
greSs was Systematically vetoed by
the Presidents from Harding to
Roosevelt.
But Congress did not permit We
toes to prevent action. In 1928,
over the negative signature of
President Coolidge, the House OF
Representatives and the Senate
agreed on the adjusted service
compensation act, by which the
bonus was originally established.
The act provided that basic
compensation should be ST a day
for service at home and $1.25 a
day for service abroad. for every
day above so days served during
the period between April S, 1917,
and November IL, 1918.
This basic compensation was
then augmented by an arbitrary
25 per cent, and the amount thus
gained was figured as something
like an insurance premium, upon
which the total compensation
could be computed on an actuarial
basis, depending upon the age Of
the veteran and other factors.
The value of the adjusted serv-
ice certificates provided under this
law thus became greater year by
year, until 1945, when they were
to mature. The principal opposi-
tion to the plan was che fact that
the veterans would not be paid
until that late date, when thou
sands would be dead.
However, in 1881 Congress over
rode the veto of President Hoover
to enact q law through which
holders of adjusted service certifi-
Gates could borrow up to one-half
of their matured value. A great

AL SMITH ASKS

Refuses to Attend the

'Lone Wolf

News Service)

NEW YORK, June 15.-Al Smith
will not go to the Democratic ma
tional convention in Philadelphia
next week unless other prominent
antiNew Deal Democrats indicate
they will be there to support him,
International News Service was
informed on the best of authority
today.
The former governor has decided
he will not go to Philadelphia as a
"lone wolf"
Too Well Oiled
Smith has come to the conclu-
sion that the Jim Farley political
machine is too well-oiled" for him
to buck it alone. And no one un-
derstands political workings better
than Smith.
He has been advised by Phila-
delphianS who are friendly to him
that the local Philadelphia New
Deal organizers are preparing to
give him the "razzberry" in the
event he appears on the conven-
ton floor as an opponent to the
policies of President Roosevelt.
AL, who loves a fight as well
as anyone and man who wouldn't t
shrink from one if the odds were
anywhere near even, does not feel
he should stand the "gaff" all by
himself. He has given the mat
ter considerable thought.
Looks for Support
Unless former Gov. Joseph B.
Ely of Massachusetts, former Sen
ator James A. Reed of Missouri
and other prominent anti-New
Dealers agree to support him.
Smith will not make an appear
ance in Philadelphia.
AL feels the cards are stacked
against him.
Indications now are that one Of
the scheduled dramatic moments
of the CONVENTIONAL Smith "tak-
ig a walk"-will never come to
pass.
Smiths alternate, Bert Stand,
secretary of Tammany Hall, would
fill the Happy Warriors" shoes.
Will Vote Regular
Stand would vote regular. That
is, he would go along with Tam
many. In spite of the marked
anti-Roosevelt sentiment in "the
Hail." Tammany may find no al
tentative but to support the New
York delegation and vote for
Roosevelt at the convention.
