BONLS VET SEEN 1S SEATESPURN CONPRONE BILL Upper House Seems Certain to Pass Patman or Vinson Measures. QUICK RECESS TAKEN WHEN DEFEAT LOOMS Even Connally Amendment, Add- ing $90,000,000, Fails to Bolster Harrison Plan. By the Associated Press. Congress appeared today to be head- ing straight into a presidential veto on the soldiers’ bonus. Administration leaders conceded they virtually had lost their fight for & compromise acceptable to President Roosevelt. They were frankly dis- mayed by the Senate’s evident de- sermination to pass either the Vinson or Patman bills, providing for full and immediate cash payment. Senate defeat of the compromise proposal for which Senator Harrison, Democrat of Mississippi, had claimed ‘White House approval was believed to have been averted yesterday only by a sudden adjournment over the week-end. The recess was suggested by Senator Robinson of Arkansas, the Democratic leader, when confident cash bonus forces lined up behind the Vinson measure. Connally Amendment Accepted ‘The compromise plan failed to mus- ter impressive strength even after Harrison had agreed to an amend- ment by Senator Connally, Democrat of Texas, which would add $90,000,000 to its cost. It was estimated that this amendment, cutting interest charged veterans on bonus loans from 4 to 2 per cent, would make the bill require a total outlay of $1.209,000,000. ‘The Veterans' Administration has estimated that the Patman bill, pro- posing to pay the bonus in full with new currency, would require $2,201,- 934,000. Officials have figured that the Vinson measure, leaving the tethod of payment unspecified, would involve an appropriation of $2,263,- $45,000. Roosevelt forces worked today to | te-form the broken Senate lines, but | leaders admitted privately that their cause was almost hopeless. Harrison Issues Warning. Harrison warned yesterday that his compromise was the only one of the three proposals that could receive Ppresidential approval. He was asked by Senator Borah, Republican, of Idahc if he had any assurance Mr. Roosevelt would sign the compromise. “I haven't the slightest doubt in | the world,” he replied. As amended by Senator Connally, | the compromise bill would give about $220, instead of $180, to the average veteran who has a $1,000 bonus cer- | tificate against which he already has | borrowed $500. A veteran who has a $1,000 certificate and hasn't bore rowed anything against it could ob- tain $770. Or he could hold his certificate until 1945 and get $1,115, Under the Patman or Vinson bills, it s estimated, the average veteran would Bt & net cash payment of about $500. Harrison Criticizes Long. ‘The Patman and Vinson forces in the Senate consolidated after Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma amended the Vinson bill so that it would actually appropriate money to pay the bonus instead of merely au- thorizing an appropriation. Harrison criticized Senator Long, | Democrat, of Louisiana and other sup- porters of the Patman bill for swinging over to the Vinson measure after op- posing it bitterly earlier in the day. “It ain’t the Vinson bill any more,” Long answered. “It's the Vinson- Long-Thomas-Clark bill now.” When Long aceused the adminis- | tration leaders of filibustering against the bonus bill, Robinson denied it. The Harrison compromise was at- tacked by Senator Capper, Republican, of Kansas on the ground it would scale down the bonus certificates. The Vinson bill is strongly backed by the American Legion. The Patman | measure already has been approved ! by the House. | POINT BARROW ASKS AID | IN FIGHTING EPIDEMIC, | Stricken Alaskan Community Ap-| peals for Medical Help to Combat Influenza.

The counter-blow which President Roosevelt aimed at the Chember of Commerce of the United States was believed today to set an example of one line of argument which the New Deal may follow as it plunges into the heat of the 1936 campaign. A leading theme of the President’s remarks at a press conference last night was an effort to show that men hurling strong criticism at New Deal policies do not speak the minds of the generality of business men. Though talk of a “swing to the left” was heard among some observers in the aftermath of this new business- Government dispute, others recalled past furore about “open breaks,” “peace pacts,” and “veerings” to right or left. These latter observers pre- ferred to wait developments before hazarding forecasts as to future trends, Hits Back at Dissenters. Fingering his cigarette holder, the President spent some time developing the theme with which he hit back at the organization that voiced sharp dissent from several major adminis- convention which had heard speakers denounce the New Deal. Too many busness organizations, Mr. Roosevelt argued, do not repre- sent the views of those for.whom they are supposed to speak. He had the < that most busi- feeling, be asserted, | ness men were In with his program. Mr. Roosevelt said that in all the speeches at the chamber convention this week, he did not think ther: was one which took up the human side of economic questions except in glit- tering generalities. The President's remarks were touched off by & question about the Council of the Commerce Department to the White House Thursday after- noon, the day the Chamber of Com- merce Convention ended. This group is composed of some 50 industrialists working in conjunction with Secre- tary Roper to advise the Government. As if in a move to offset the Cham- ber's action, it went to the Executive Mansion to tell the President that it favors extension of N. R. A. for two years and the principles of the social security plan. Past Incidents Cited. The President said last night that he had made an impromptu speech | to this council and that he would re- construct it for the reporters. Draw- ing on his past governmental ex- perience, he cited’ several instances in which he said business organizations opposed certain steps when he felt | sure business in general approved | them. | He spoke of the Triangle Factory | fire in New York, in which more than 200 girls burned to death. After an investigation, factory inspection laws were recommended. The President said lobbyists opposed this legisla- tion, although he Lelieved the major- ity of business men were in favor. Other instances cited were agita- tion against the 54-hour work bill years ago in New York and the work- men’s compensation act. Members of the Chamber of Com- merce have mostly left the city and there was no immediate disclosure of their reaction to the President’s MONTEREY CHAMBER RESIGNS. Declare National Body Out of Step With Country.

KENTUCKY DERBY OUTLOOK MARRED: BY GHILLING RAIN ellie Flag Po:;ular Choice of Fans as Track Grows Heavy. FIELD MAY BE CUT TO 16 OR 17 ENTRIES Omaha and Boxthorn Rated Prin- cipal Rivals of Lone Filly in Classic. By the Associated Press. CHURCHILL DOWNS, LOUIS- VILLE, Ky, May 4—A sudden cold wave, accompanied by a steady, driv- ing rain turned the setting for the sixty-first Kentucky Derby today into s drab, dripping and, cheerless spectacle. The track, which had dried out thoroughly by last night, again threatened to become a mess of sloppy mud, although critical observers before noon insisted it had a chance to be “fast” if there was a let-up in the rain. There was no immediate let-up in sight. The temperature, which began a precipitate drop during the evening, was at 40 degrees, close enough to freezing weather to feel like it and sharply uncomfortable to the shiver- ing few thousands who gathered about historic Churchill Downs in the early hours, > Crowd Prospect Hit. The worst Derby weather in six years struck a blow at estimates of a record turnout. Estimates were quickly pared down to 50,000, but it appeared the vast majority were pre- pared to defy the elements and brave the risks involved. Two early scratches reduced to 20 the field of thoroughbreds slated to run through the mire this afternoon at about 4:45 (Central standard time) for 3-year-old honors and the major share of around $54,000 in stake money.

William Woodward’s Omaha, Col. E. R. Bradley’s Boxthorn and Mrs. ‘Walter M. Jeffords’ gelding, Common- wealth, were rated the principal rivals of Nellie Flag. Boxthorn's ability to run well in the mud was somewhat doubtful, but the conditions enhanced the outlook for Commonwealth. Today’s Condition in Doubt. ‘Today's condition remained a slight mystery this morning. The Whitney Hope was examined again by a veter- inarian, but reports from the stable were that no trace of lameness re- mained over night and that there was every reason to expect the son of Whichone to give a good account of himself. The mishap, described as a slight heel bruise on the left hind foot, was nevertheless sufficient to cause a drop in Today's stock among the critics, as well as a lengthening of odds on the colt. The weather checked much of the usual early rush for the Downs. Hun- dreds of the hardiest bleacherites, however, were on hand when the gates were opened, wrapped in raincoats, blankets and newspapers to ward off the chilling rain. The forecast was for intermittent showers throughout the day, but with no chance for & balmy turn of tem- perature’ The 40-degree reading this morning was exactly 42 degrees below téhe maximum for last year's Derby ay.

O. P. PHILIPPINE REBELS SEEK JAPAN'S AID Sakdalista Envoy in Tokio Harbored by Seiyuka Party Members. By the Assoclated Press. TOKIO, May 4—A short and stock Filipino who identified himself as “Benigno Ramos, president and envoy of the Sakdalista party of the Philippines,” said today he had been in Tokio since late 1934 “to inform the Japanese people of the real con- ditions in the Philippines and gain the moral support of the Japanese.” He denied attempting to obtain arms from this country and declared the recent uprising in Luzon was “a demonstration not only against the are bejraying the cause of our peo- ple through fear of losing their posi- tions in the present government.” That Ramos already has gained “the moral support” of influential Japanese elements was indicated by the fact that an interview with him took place at headquarters of the Seiyuka, largest political party Japan. Accorded Protection. Some of the members admitted giving Ramos friendship and protec- tion. Ramos and his Japanese friends were most vague about the nature of the help he is enlisting and insisted it was confined to moral support. A news sheet, Free Filipinos, how- ever, which Ramos distributed, fea- tured at the top of the front page in the Japanese language an “appeal to the gallant Japanese people,” recount- ing alleged iniquities and broken pledges under American rule. The sheet asked help to obtain im- mediate emancipation and concluded: | “Arms mean our freedom. Owing to | American oppression at present we | lack weapons and resources, but if help is given us now we will recipro- cate when we are free.” ‘The news sheet also was printed in the English, Spanish and Tagalog languages. “Tired of Only Promises.” Explaining the Sakdalistas compose “the Filipino party for immediate in- dependence,” Ramos said: “We know the American Government in the islands is so strong that revolt against it means virtual suicide. But what can we do? We are tired of nothing but promises.” Kumpei Matsumoto, a former mem- ber of Parliament and a Seiyuka leader, sald Ramos had received neither money nor arms in Japan and had no prospects of receiving any because the Japanese government and people have no intention of med- dling in the Philippines. He said Ramos had no contacts with the Japanese government, but contacted Matsuro Tokyamsa, famous “Robin Hood of Japan,” and other reactionary and patriotic leaders in- terested in the pan-Asiatic movement.
