SLEOF VETERMS BONISE FROPSED G. 0. P. Whip Would Allow Ex-Service Men to Sell Claims Outright. By the Associated Press. Legislation tc authorize veterans to sell their bonus certificates, provided the buyer pays off loans advanced on them by the Government, was proposed in the House today by Representative Bachmann of West Virginia. Bachmann, Republican whip, said the measure was his individual ides. He said it “will give the veterans the im- mediate benefit of their certificates, cease agitation for cash payment of the bonus, end return more than $1,500,- 000,000 to the Federal Treasury. “The certificates belong to the vet- erans, and they should be permitted to dispose of them as they wish,” Bach- mann told newspaper men. Prohibited by Law. The present law prohibits banks and individuals from taking over the service certificates. “There will be advantages both to the veterans and the Government,” Bach- mann said. “In addition, business gen- erally would be benefited.” Among the advantages he listed W Veterans in need will have some im- mediate relief by realizing on their certificates. “Veterans paying on homes can use certificates as part payment. “Veterans will be able to borrow more than 50 per cent of the face value of the certificates. “Certificates will be good collateral. ‘Would Protect Veterans. “Proposed amendment will protect those veterans who have already bor- rowed from the Government on their certificates and cannot pay interest, which is annually decreasing the value of their certificates. Advantages for the Government list- ed by Bachmann included: “All agitation for immediate payment of the bonus would cease. “Money will not have to be taken from the Treasury of the United States, but will be supplied by companies and individuals. “Would bring a large amount of money into circulation. “Will prevent future bonus marches to Washington.

Organized farm groups, urging the domestic allotment relief plan before the House Agriculture Committee to-) day, sald they favored preservation of “all that is good in the Farm Board act, that is, all except the stabilization provisions.” The question of disposition of the Farm Board was raised by Representa- tive Andresen, Republican, of Minne- sota, while Frederick T. Lee, spokesman for the agricultural groups, was testi- tying. “Do you favor abolishment of the Farm Board?” Andresen asked. “We want the preservation of all that is good in the act, that is, all except the stabilization provision,” Lee replied. “But we are not so interested in the administrative agencx. Leaders Not Concerned. “We want such features as the co- operative and educational work contin- ued. But, whether they are continued under the board or the Secretary of Agriculture, the farm leaders do not feel concerned. We would leave that question to the new administration.” Lee told the committee he felt that, while the allotment plan pi for wheat, cotton, tobacco and hogs was voluntary, it would prove so attractive that it would receive the support of producers, Andresen asked how the leaders felt on the question of acreage reduction. reaTney are not committed to acreage “But for 1933, they are ready to support a.-20 per cent reduction to help vprl:g!s and aid in the application of this plan, Future curtailment would be left to the discretion of the Secretary of Agri- culture.
