IVFWtoUree Vets Bonus
 Ready to Pitch
 For 50 Billions

washington, Jan. i0--(Upl-The Veterans of Foreign Wars is ready to make its pitch for Q 2b to 50 bile lion dollar bonus for World War n veterans, 1t was learned today.
 Other big veterans organizations, meanwhile, still believe the time is not ripe. So far, the American he- zion has not even come up with 8 bill.
 The powerful VFW legislative committee meets here Jan. 14-l6 and Q major item on the agenda will be plans to promote the World War II bonus.
 Months ago vFW endorsed Q bill by Rep. John Lesinski, O., Mich), providing adjusted compensation at the rate of $S @ day for domestic service and $4 day for duty over- seas,
 The maximum payment would be $4,500, with an extra $500 thrown in for wounds.
 Payment would be in bonds, cash- able at the rate of one-flfth Q year. VFW estimates the bill will cost $25, ,000, 100000. Other sources put the cost, as high as $50, 100000.
 The Disabled American Veterans has endorsed Q measure Identical to VFW's in amount, but differing in method of payment. It calls for ten-year redemption, with the vet eran entitled to borrow against his credit for business, education or home building purposes.
