THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1935. s A-3° BONUS VETO MAY HIT INFLATIONISTS President Speeds Message " for Personal Delivery to Capitol. (Continued From First Page.) earlier in the day as Vice President Garner, wielding four pens so he could satisfy the requests of memento collectors, signed the measure amid & clicking of cameras. House May Override, It requires a two-third vote of both Houses to override a veto. Adminis- tration leaders still predict the House will roll up the two-thirds, though expressing a belief that the President’s action would swing some votes to the Roosevelt banner. Speaker Byrns said: “I doubt whether anything could change the stand of a majority of House mem- bers on the bonus. My belief is that it will pass.” Thus the big test would come in the Senate—as previously predicted on all sides. Three of the chief objections to the Patman bonus bill which have been expressed in administration quarters, and which some leaders said they ex- pected to see reiterated in the Presi- dent's veto message were: That the administration should not | spend $2.200,000.000 for the benefit | of only 4 per cent of the people. That the value of currency inflation was questionable; That if Congress overrode his veto, 1t should stand ready to appropriate additional taxes, Bonus Bloc Maps Course, Bonus advocates were going ahead with their plans for further action if his veto were sustained in the Sen- ate. They intended to have offered, as a rider on the annual naval appropria- tion bill, an amendment directing the President to pay the bonus, but letting nim use either new currency, a bond issue, or money out of the $4,880,000,~ 000 public works fund. Likewise, the special steering com- mittee which put the Patman bill through the House arranged to see President Roosevelt at 10:30 a.m. Mon- day in an attempt to forestall a veto. It was generally expected, though, that the veto message would be wri ten, mimeographed and ready for dis- tribution by that time. Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Okla- homa, said Patman advocates would meet today for a final check of their strength and to outline strategy. He refused to make any claims, saying that “if we had the votes I wouldn't say so.” Van Zandt Opposes March. There was another statement from James E. Van Zandt, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, ex- pressing his opposition to a new bonus march on Washington. He made public a message from W. W. Waters, & leader of the 1932 march, to the | effect that he had nothing to do with | 8 new bonus army reported to have left Portland, Oreg. | “I am glad that Waters realizes the futility of a bonus march, and I hope all veterans will take heed of this warning agalnst the proposal,” Van | Zandt said. The bonus and other veterans’ mat- ters have been serious issues between Congress and four Presidents during the last dozen years. Measures re- lating to them have been vetoed by Presidents 11 times in that period Four such measures became law by being repassed over the President’s veto. Presidents Harding, Coolidge, Hoover and Roosevelt have faced the issue. Of the 11 bills vetoed only 3 re-| lated to the bonus. Two of the 3 were passed over the veto. Harding First to Veto. Harding in 1921 told the Senate he opposed bonus legislation. That blocked it for the time being. But in less than & year Congress had enacted a bonus bill. Harding vetoed it. The House overrode the veto, but the Senate sustained it. Coolidge received from Congress in | 1924 a bill providing adjusted service | certificates, maturing in 1945. The President vetoed the bill. It was passed over the veto in both houses. Hoover had placed before him for signature in 1931 a bill increasing the loan value on service certificates to 50 ACCENTED PRONOUN, ‘WO colored women on a bus were discussing their jobs. | “I work for a lady in Chevy | Chass,” said one, mispronounc- | ing the name of the section. “You mean Chevy Chase,” retorted the other, saying it correctly. came back the first one, Chass.

Max Nemiroff, the proprietor of the Russian cafe, had left shortly before the fire broke out to escort home a guest who had become ill. The only person in the building, in addition to Mrs. Nemiroff and her son, was a waitress, Miss Marie Zwanoff, 33. ‘The waitress fled down a fire escape. ‘The flames had gained considerable headway when Mrs. Nemiroff awoke. She caught up her child, gathered coats about them and sought to run to the street down the stairway. The stairway, however, was a roar- ing furnace.

Among the first to the scene was Police Sergt. Tom Langley of No. 3 precinct and an unidentified taxicab driver. Both men were repulsed by the flames when they sought to enter the building. They telephoned for fire apparatus. At least 3,000 spectators assembled in Connecticut avenue. Some had Just left night clubs along the ave- | nue and downtown and others were routed from their beds by the glare and resounding sirens. Damage to the four-story struc- ture was placed at $10,000. The flames had mounted the staircase and spread to all four floors, breaking through the roof. The brick walls and prompt action of the firemen saved the build- ing from destruction, ‘The fire presumably started from a lighted cigarette left by a guest in the dining room.

Broiles of Fort Worth, Tex., suffered a broken arm and other injuries. The Chinese co-pilot was not injured. The plane, an amphibian, belonged to the China National Aviation Corp. Witnesses said a sampan, or small Chinese boat, was in the way. “In turning,” said Prof. Remer, “one wing touched the water and the plane nosed over into the river with a tre- mendous splash. “Water began pouring into the cabt.

They also were seeking another man whose name they do not_know. The woman, whose name is being withheld, is claimed by Jordan to have planned the hold-up which re- sulted in the shooting of Mrs. Jaynes by a nervous lookout man. This man, Jordan said, he met only casually and does not know his name. Prisoner Returned, Jordan was returned here yesterday | afternoon by Headquarters Detective Robert J. Barrett from Mount Vernon, N. Y, where he was apprehended | after writing a letter here asking if Perhaps the first man to see the flames was E. F. Latimer of Atlanta, who was visiting in Washington. Lat- imer ran about looking for a fire alarm box. Meanwhile, he saw the woman come out of the balcony with her child and tried to reach the two up the staircase. He was unable to enter the build- ing because of the flames. DR.

He | wanted to get married, he said. As soon as the letter reached police, Barrett, by whom Jordan was orig- inally arrested, charged with conspir- acy to rob and later released, was sent to Mount Vernon. Police offi- | cials were doubtful at the time whether there was any use in the trip, but were afraid not to follow the lead. It was not until they received a letter from Barrett telling of the two-page confession that they believed any- thing would come of the trip. Jordan returned here voluntarily after signing the confession blaming the actual shooting upon an unnamed man, police said, and is being care- fully questioned regarding his possi. ble participation in ether crimes which | occurred here around the time of the murder.
