SENATORSTO WORK MONDAY
ON COMPROMISE BONUS BILL
Expected to Enact Measure
More Suitable 10 the
President

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. (UPG.
An hour after the house OF rep
resentatives yesterday passed the
Omitted Veterans" $2,2OO,OOO,-
600 bonus bill $50 to SO, and sent
it to the senate which is expected
to enact a compromise proposal
more acceptable to President
Roosevelt. Chairman Pat Harr!-
son. D., Miss, of the senate IL
nance committee. said his group
would meet Monday to consider
the hill. He declined further COM
ment. Party leaders, however, are
1aported to lean toward the
Byrnes Steiwer measure which
would be less costly to the gov
eminent. ,
The bill enacted by the house
TODAY was stripped of inflationary
nrovisions and contained merely
an authorization for appropriation
of funds to meet the debt to the
veterans. The responsibility of
finding the money is left to Mr..
Roosevelt. Bonus leaders and con-
rressional officials said, however,
that payment of the adjusted
service certificates would require
the raising of only an additional
$1,000, 100000.
It was estimated that veterans
holding at least S500,000,00 worth
of the certificates would not cash
them in Immediately and that an
other $5O0,O0O,000 could be taken
from the old war risk fund.
As sent to the senate yester-
day, the bill calls for: ,
Immediate payment of adjusted
service certificates.
Three per cent interest on face
value of the certificates if hold
ers do not cash them until their
maturity in 1915. " -
Cancellation of interest on loans
made against the certificates.
Payment of the certificates to
he made at full face value minus
the amount loaned on each certif-
icate.
Payment to be made to the
beneficiary if the veteran dies
after making application.
Veterans leaders today were
iubilant.

QUARRY WORK
ON STONE FOR
GYM ORDERED.
To Begin Monday; Actual
Construction to Start :
Two Weeks Hence
$4,000 WILL BE PAID
FOR LABOR ON JOB,

w. M. Sherard received red
uisition today for labor to begin
the work on Monday morning Of
quarrying stone for the city GYM
nasiu mproject.
The requisition, a duplicate of
which was sent to Engineer VIII
son of the WPA. calls for rs men
and one non-refef foreman.
The quarrying will be done in
the Smith quarry in Laurel Park
and will start about two weeks be-
fore the actual construction work
on the gymnasium. This will give
the quarry crew time to get ma
terial on hand so that work may
proceed without delay on the
building.
Mr.. Wilson thought it probable
that actual construction work will
start in about two weeks. He
said that the project called for an
expenditure of $27,609 of WPA
funds. Of this amount, approx
mately $21, 900 will be for labor.
The city of Hendersonville and
the city school board will supply
materials representing a value Of
approximately $4,000.
The gymnasium will be con-
structed on the hill back of the
high school'building. The old gym
nasium will be RACED.

Governor. Moves on Basis
Of Discrepancies" in
Condor Stories
DISAGREEMENT BY
PARDON BOARD SEEN

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. II. (UP)
DR.. John F. Condor "Jafsie" of
the Lindbergh kidnapping case who
sailed last night for South Amer
lea, was today ordered taken INFO
custody for questioning in regard
to discrepancies in his printed
stories. T
The sensational new turn in the
case came as the New Jersey court
of pardons deliberated on the last
plea for clemency for Bruno
Richard Hauptrnann. -
The actual order that Condor
be. taken into custody was prepar-
ed for New Jersey police by Gov
ernor Harold G. Hoffman. The ac-
ton tended to substantiate previ-
Gus indications that Hoffman in
tends to grant q reprieve that will
postpone the execution of Haupt-
mann, which has been set for next
Friday night. There were many
indications that a majority of. the
court disagreed with Hoffman's
contention that Hauptmann was
bot, alone in the kidnapping and
should not be executed now.
:, Before Governor Harold G.
Hoffman and his seven colleagues
VIRTUALLY a court Of last resort
for Hauptmann-were placed
pile of documents and exhibits,
many of which contradict one
another. Hauptmann was not ex'
pected to be allowed to plead his
case today, for. the pardons court
will meet in the state house, and
New Jersey law forbids taking u
prisoner out of the death house.

Proposals

WASHINGTON, Jan. II. (uP)
Department of agriculture off
Gals, supported by President
Roosevelt, today worked out de-
tails for the soil conservation pro-
gram embodying crop control to
replace the defunct AAA. ~"
An enthusiastic reception from
nearly one hundred farm leaders
gathered here to discuss the prob
lem of replacing the AAA for a
plan outlined by AAA Admins
traitor Chester Davis apparently
confirmed belief of high officials
that it would be approved by
farmers in general ~
Attorneys of the agriculture
and justice departments were put
to work ironing out legal diff
culties and bringing the plan in
to shape. Officials believe the
plan can be worked through pay
ment of rental fees and subsidies
to farmers complying with GER
tain conditions designed to pre-
vent soil erosion and to conserve
the nations soil fertility.

Henry Ford made in the previous year. Bias

Startir points in the game are changes
