BONUS ADVOCATES ARE MISINFORMED, SAYS ROOSEVELT, HTTING PAYMENT Letter to Texan Holds Orig- inal Sum Voted by Con- gress Was Contingent on Maturity in 20 Years, FRIENDS OF VETERANS HELD OPPOSING MOVE Report From Gen. Hines Submit- ted to Legion Post Commander to Explain Amount Printed on Service Certificates Is Not U, S. Obligation at Present. & BY J. RUSSELL YOUNG. President Roosevelt today opened his fight against the immediate pay- ment of the Soldiers’ bonus, by mak- ing public at the White House a letter in which he said that “those who advocated the payment of these cer- tificates at this time for the purpose of stimulating business certainly can- not have given the interest of the veterans much thought.” This opening gun in the forthcom- ing bonus fight on Capitol Hill was sounded in a letter to Garland R. Farmer, commander of the American Legion Post, Henderson, Tex. It was in reply to a letter asking for in- formation regarding the so-called bonus issue. “General Misunderstanding.” “It is quite apparent from your let- ter in which you advise me of the rea- sons why the service men are de- manding immediate payment of the bonus,” the President wrote, “that there is a general mispnderstanding in regard to the Government’s obliga- tion in this matter.” Attached to the President’s letter was a memorandum prepared by Brig. Gen, Frank T. Hines, administrator of veterans’ affairs, which explained act of Congress suthorizing the ad- Jjusted service certificates, better known as the bonus, and traced the history of the bonus subject from then on up to the present time, The President said in his letter that Wwhen Congress in 1924 decided to is- sue the adjusted service certificates, it actually authorized a bonus of $1,- 400,000,000, but because of the stand taken at that time by those advocat- ing the measure who felt that it would in the interest of the service men | themselves, this cash outlay was not made immediately, but was deferred for 20 years. The President explained further that because of this deferment the initial bonus was increased 25 per cent, so that the $1,400,000,000 invest- ed for the service men at 4 per cent compounded annually would mature in 20 years $3,500,000,000. Amount Due in 20 Years. The President held the amount which is printed upon the face of every adjusted service certifii- cate is not the amount of the basic or original bonus voted by Con= gress, but is an amount plus 25 per cent added for deferred payment, which, with interest at 4 per cent com- pounded annually over a 20-year period, would produce the face or ma- turity value. The President singled out this fact as being important be- cause, according to him, “this would seem to dispose of the question as to whether the obligation is immediately due.” The President does not believe that the paying of the bonus at this time would go far in stimulating recovery. In answer to the argument to this effect advanced by those advocating immediate payment, he said that at the time the issue of paying the bal- ance of the bonus was up before and a compromise was made by increasing the loan value to 50 per cent of the face value, there resulted a distribu- tion of approximately $1,000,000,000, and at that time the same argument was advanced that the expenditure would stimulate business and aid re- covery, but a survey of the results showed otherwise. According to the President, this large payment resulted in little stimu- lation of business, and in many of the large cities no material change was indicated at ail. Doubts Benefits. Indicating his present feelings, the President then wrote: “No doubt the same results would obtain if the bal- ance were now paid.” In answer to those who favor imme- diate payment because the Govern- ment has spent millions of dollars on relief, which will not be repaid, while by the payment of the bonus the Gov- ernment will be discharging an obliga- tion and at the same time taking a practical step toward stimulating re- covery, the President wrote that all expenditures for relief have been made in the interests of recovery and for all citizens, non-veterans as well as vet- erans, and that in the distribution of relief and employment the veteran has been given a definite and distinct pref- erence.

ROME, December 31 (#).—A rebel force in Albania is strongly incamped in a valley near Dibra, although penned in by government troops, Ital- ian aviators arriving here today from Tirana, capital of Albania, said. Mohamed Bairactar, former aide- de-camp to King Zog, is leading the revolt and is supported by his clan, the aviators / asserted. Government troops have a strongly superior force, they said, but hesitate to attack, knowing a battle would result in great loss of life and hoping that Bairactar can be induced to surrender. The aviators said the revolt has not affected the remainder of the coun- try. King Zog’s country is about the area of Maryland. The 40-year-old Zog, once leader of a clan of flerce mountain fighters, was elected King when Albania became a monarchy in 1928.

NEW YORK, December 31—Er- nesto Chacon Quirola, Ecuadorean charge d'affaires to Germany, was found dead today ip the vestibule of a building at 69 West Fifty-second street under circumstances regarded by po- lice as mysterious. The diplomat’s clothing was di- sheveled and a single dollar bill was found in his pockets. A black overcoat was thrown across the body and a brown felt hat was beside it when a policeman made the discovery. Police were of the opinion that the man had been robbed. No Marks of Violence. Detectives who made the prelimin- ary investigation said they found nothing suspicious in the circum- stances surrounding Chacon's death. However, when his identity was estal lished, the fact that so little money was in the clothing resulted in a more thorough investigation. There were no marks of violence on the body. At the office of the Ecuadorean consulate general it was learned Chacon was given his appointment to Berlin December 2, last. Previously he had been charge d'affaires at Lon- don, England, and secretary to the Minister of foreign relations in Ecuador. Arrived Last Tuesday.

SAARBRUECKEN, Saar Basin Ter- ritory, December 31.—Serious rioting broke out in this area today and anti- Nazis asked the introduction of semi- martial law to suj the “terrorism gripping the Saar.” About 15 persons were injured in the week end's dis- turbances. More than 50 shots were fired when Nazis and anti-Nazis battled at Mal- statt, a suburb of Saarbruecken. A Hitler youth was wounded and the retaurant where the fight took place was wrecked. Several persons were injured yester- day at Blieskastel when an alleged Nazi group broke up an anti-Nazi rally in a hall there. Johann Hoffmann, Catholic leader of the German People’s party—which' opposes the Saar’s return to Ger- many—was present at the meeting. Police Called. Those who were in the meeting charged that the Nazi leader in Blie- skastel was in the hall to lead the at- tack and that 50 Nazis rushed into the fray after a gun was fired as a signal. International policemen restored or- der in a hurry. The most seriously injured at Blie- skastel was Henrich Imbush, Catholic leader, who was struck on the b’ 4 beer mug and was also beaten with chairs. Hoffmann himself called for semi- ticnal army troops maintain order, and “the secrecy of the plebiscite vote has been assured, but freedom of speech in the campaigns has not.” The petition also asked the com- mission o ban the “flying disciplinary squad” maintained by the “German Front,” a Nazi organization.

Reached at 10 o'glock last night by four woodsmen from Hoffmeistér, the cold and hungry men realized they had been rescued when 10 men of the ConsefVation Department arrived on the scene at dawn today. By 11:30 am. the trip to More- houseville had started through 3 feet of snow and at a temperature about 30 degrees below zero. Hamilton Chequers, a foreman of the C. C. C, who went in with the group, returned early and told of the joy with which the survivors of the hillside crash greeted their rescuers. He said one of the Dryers, either Ernest, the pilot, or his brother Dale, the co-pilot, had a wrenched hip and would be taken out later by sled.

Men are Marooned for 61} Hours After Crash, ALBANY, N. Y., December 31 (#). Rescue of the four men stranded with their wrecked plane in the Adiron- dacks was effected today. ‘The rescurers, hardy woodsmen from Hoffmeister, N.

The courageous effort of the Hoff- meister woodsmen, including Lester Pertello and Floyd Krueger, to take the cold and hungry fiyers to their home eight miles a climaxed the three-day fight of State police, Na- tional Guard flyers and airline com- pany officials to rescue the quartet in 30-below weather and waist-deep snow, Loczted Last Night. The four, Ernest Dryer, pilot of the airplane; his brother Dale, co-pilot; J. H. Brown of Boston, American Air- line pilot flying as a passenger, and R. W. Hambrook of Washington, D.

Lieut. C. C. Jakway of the Massa- chusetts National Guard, after a trip over the spot, early today reported that searchers had reached the four marooned flyers. “I circled over the wrecked plane very low for several minutes,” Lieut. Jakway said after he retwned to the Albany Airport. “There were a num- ber of people with the marooned men. Then Lieut. C. I.

BUDGET MESSAGE DUE IN HOUSE SATURDAY White House Policies on Main Is- sues Unknown as Time for Convening Nears. By the Assoclated Press. With explosive issues in the offing, the dying year found the Democratic leadership laboring today to weld its huge majority into a unit to put the Roosevelt administration’s program smoothly through the Seventy-fourth opening Thursday. Surveying a membership that ranges from share-the-wealth men on the “left” to pillars of old-line conserva. tism on the “right,” leaders acknowle edged that controversies are in store. But they said they found a consensus among many returning members that the last election was a mandate to follow President Roosevelt's lead. The President’s program—embrac- ing a vast range of problems topped by relief of the unemployed—has yet to be revealed in any detail. Legisla- tors expect him to give an outline of principles and aims in a message which he will deliver Friday, probe ably in person. Public Works in Doubt. Saturday, with the delivery of the President’s budget message, will come the answer to one paramount ques- tion: How much will be spent for public works? Speculation has ranged from $1,500,000,000 to $7,000,000,000 but no one has given any authoritas tive statement. From Representative Byrns, Demo= grat, of Tennessee, slated to be the Speaker of the House, there came to- day a prediction that although debate may be “extended and widespread” on some issues, in the end the Democrats will “work together.” Placing relief at the top of all problems, he said the Federal Gov- ernment had acted wisely in taking the lead in the attack on it. Now, he added, business is improving and “it will be one of our tasks to determine Wwhether and how to taper off the Pederal Government's activities.” The Republicans, weaker numerice ally in Congress than at any time in years, are in no position to win out-and-out party fights. They say their role will be one af constructive criticism, G. O. P. to Test Proposals. Representative Snell, Republican, of New York, regarded as the probable choice for Republican leader in the House, said his party’s function was to put each proposal merit, pure and simple. Calling for a three-way plan of job insurance, with employer, em- ploye and State govepment taking part, he elso said “we must guard against plans for unlimited currency inflation” and “further tinkering” with money. President Roosevelt secluded hime self for the third successive day to glue together what he calls the scraps of his message. The Democratic and Policy Committees of the Senate planned to meet with ;;eld‘e‘; wflo‘!:.ru:mn of Arkansas to form tegy plans and com- mittee ratios. As for the House, several State dele- gations prepared to caucus._on the speakership and leadership nominae tions. The Appropriations Committee continued a fast pre-session race, hop= ing to have three or four annual money bills ready for the floor by January 7. Drive for Inflation. Leaders are watching closely in an attempt to guage the strength of drives for currency inflation. bt Besides relief, public works and an administration social security program which will include unemployment in- surance and possibly old-age pensions, many other topics are expected to be debated, among them: Permanent N. R.
