Out-! side long fines of veterans stood, hop- | ing to gain admittance. If the house approves the bonus payment on the final vote, the legis- lation still must run the gauntlet of the senate and the white house. ‘What action the senate will take is problematical. But President Hoover has promised a veto. Action Monday came on a motion to bring the resolution by Represent- ative Patman (Dem., Tex.) up for consideration. The vote was obtained through a petition signed by 145 house members. The vote for consideration was 226 to 175. A few minutes later, the house agreed to take um the bonus legisla- tion Tuesday and consider it until a final vote is reached. Meanwhile, senate leaders claimed to have 55 votes—a majority of the 96 members—against the proposal. If they are able to muster that num- ber on a roll call the legislation is doomed for this session. The house roll call included: Hall and Burtness, North Dakota Republi- cans, against consideration; Sinclair, North Dakota Republican, for sideration. The atmosphere of the. house was tense as it met for the showdown, charged with political trouble for the members, though approval of the $: 000,000,000 outlay was a con. foregone | clusion. Leaders of the, rapidly. grow- ing army of bonus seekers kept their men from staging any demonstration. The question the house faced at the outset was on forcing from the rules committee a resolution to order up for consideration the bonus bill itselt. The vote on this bill was not expcct- ed before Tuesday at the earliest. On the first vote, however, depend- ed the strength of the bonus advo- cates and the final outeome of the uphill fight waged by them agains. tactics of the leaders who had done cee Milos, Possible to head off the ue. The bill before the house was the Patman measure, proposing that the treasury print $2,000,000,000 of paper money to discharge the payment to the soldiers, Many tries to amend i+ were in sight, among them one to pay the bonus with bonds financed by a tax on beer, This beer for taxation issue has been raised again and again in’ both houses, to be defeated over- whelmingly each time. Bonus advocates gained a powerfu' ally Monday in an announcement by Chairman Byrns of the house appro- priations committes that Ne will sup- port the full payment bill. With only a few hours before a house vete on the bonus issue and crowds of veterans already filling the capitol corridors, Byrns said he woulc vote for the $2,000,000,000 new money outlay.

Dickinson, claimed to have been in- dorsed by the “Jeffersonians” for the U. S. Senate, congress, and gover- nor, respectively. The “Jeffersonians” claimed to be a state-wide organization, and, as such, the right to list their indorsees on the Official guide card. In addition to the trio mentioned, the “Jeffersonians” claimed to have indorsed the re- mainder of the regular Democratic ticket indorsed at the state convention at New Rockford. Judge Berry, who sat in. the case at the request of Judge Fred Janson- jus, Bismarck, heard arguments in ty district court Saturday. Appearing for the regular Demo- crats in their efforts for the injunc- tion were W. D. Lynch, La Moure, in- dorsed by the regular Democrats for congress, and Cameron and Helgeson, Bismarck law firm. State's Attorney George S. Register and Charles Sim- on, assistant attorney general, ap- Peared for the defendant. Judge Berry Saturday forenoon re- fused to quash the regular Democrats’ action. In signing his . restraining order Monday, Judge Berry refuted the claim of the “Jeffersonians” that they were a state-wide organization. The order was signed upon motion of Scott Cameron, regular Democratic indorsee for attorney general. Davila Resigns as .

De Valera’s Mother Dies in New York Rochester, N.

Adjournment plans of the weary and impatient congress had been thrown into confusion as leaders found themselves in a quandary over new administration demands for economy or greater revenue. Without any definite agreement béing reached, this had been expect- ed to be the final week of the ses- sion. But Saturday night President Hoover called in the Republicans conferring on house and senate dif- ferences in the economy program and told them the savings expected to materialize from the final draft ot this bill—about $100,000,000—were not sufficient to balance the budget for 1933. The men who received this warn- ing were pessimistic. They said they did not see how any more was to be saved, especially if as was indicated the amount needed runs between $150,000,000 and $200,000,000. They hated even to talk of raisipg any more revenue than will be obtained ‘by the huge tax bill already passed. An expression of confidence, how- ever, came from Senator Watson, the Republican leader, who after a Sun- day talk with the president, said he was sure the present legislation would balance the budget and the present difficulty would melt away. McDuffie Is Bitter Much depended on the outcome of the economy conference Monday. At it’ Chairman McDuffie, Democrat, of the house group, intended to press for abandonment of the Hoover fur- lough plan of ‘reducing the federal payroll outlay and restore the flat pay cut, which is figured to save/q, many millions more. McDuffie was bitter about the latest word from the white house, asserting the president was injecting. partisanship by con- ferring with Republicans alone. While waiting hopefully for this situation to clear up, the senate drove forward with its heavy load of legis- lation, tackling problem of McNary of the agriculture committee property he has. ‘The corporations Democratic Unity Is Pledged by Leaders New York, June 13.—(}—Whatever dependence, but 2 vote was not ex- pected to be reached.
