MNARY PREDICTS PASSAGE OF BONUS Enactment by Congress Is Seen Despite Veto by President. By the Associated Press. Senator McNary of Oregon, Repub- lican leader, predicted today that at the sessiobn of Congress beginning in January a soldiers’ benus ill will be enacted despite a presidential veto, McNary, who helped the Senate to sustain last May PrtgJlent Roose- velt's disapproval of the Patman plan to pay the $2,000,000,000 immediately with new currency, told questioners: “A bonus bill will pass this session over a presidential veto, in my opinion.” He did not say what kind of bill, but there have been other forecasts that any non-inflation bill would have the better chance. “Crafty Campaign” Fought. As McNary made the statement the Veterans of Foreign Wars requested their State and district chairmen to establish contact with Senators and Representatives to combat what they termed a “crafty campaign” to raise a ‘“smoke screen” in opposition to the bonus. The V. F. W. ministration and Congress” convey the idea bonus payment means increased taxation. “The so-called ‘bonus’ must not be Jockeyed into any such controversial position,” the V. F. W. sald. “With approximately $11,000,000,- 000 in gold and silver in reserve in the Treasury and an unexpended balance of about $4,000,000.000, there is no reason why the payment of this debt to the veterans should be linked with Increased taxes.” A warning against paying the bonus In “credit” was sounded by Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma, with a call for cash payments to hasten economic recovery. Still at odds with the administra- tion over its policy of buying silver without remonetizing it at face value, the Oklahoman was asked if he thought paying the bonus would help. “Absolutely,” he told newspaper men. “It will do the job, if they pay it in cash. If it is paid in what emounts only to credit, it will hurt.” Secretary of the Tireasury Morgen= thau recently said that as “far as I know” the White House remains un- changed in its opposition to imme- diate payment of the bonus. Some observers here, certain passage in President Roose- velt's speech at Atlanta yesterday, wondered whether the Chief Executive might not be looking ahead to possible enactment of the bonus, even over a Ppresidential veto. $2,000,000,000 Fund Ignored. Mr. Roosevelt’s failure to cite the $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund as a Government asset aroused speculation as 0 whether he might be earmarking this money for some specific purpose— such as eventual bonus payment. Analyzing the Treasury condition, he noted assets of $6,000,000,000 that might be set up against the public debt, b\‘dld not mention the stabili- zation fund. Noting that the public debt now stood at 291; billions, the President said this figure included nearly 1% billions of working balance in the Treasury and 4': billions of recover- able assets. Due to Expire in January. Use of the stabilization fund for the bonus has been frequently pro- posed by veterans’ spokesmen. The fund will expire and be returned to the Treasury reserves in January un- less the President extends its powers for a year. It was thought possible the Pres- ident may have included the $2,000,- 000,000 in his estimate of recoverable assets, but it has not been listed that | way by the Treasury. ‘The Treasury's daily statement at the end of last month showed assets of $4,483,000,602 in which the Gov- ernment had a “proprietary interest.” It was this figure to which some ex- perts believed the President referred. —_— MRS. BARRETT’S DEATH IS DECLARED SUICIDE Note Left to Husband by Poison Victim Says “I Simply Can't Carry On.” Coroner A. Magruder MacDonald today issued a certificate of suicide in the death Thursday in Emergency Hospital of Mrs. Gertrude Barrett, 60, & few hours.after she had been found unconscious in her home at 4420 Volta place. Mrs. Barrett left a note for her husband, J. Nicholson Barrett, who found her, in which she said: “I love you but I simply can’t carry on.

In that month Italy bought 44,301 gross tons, more than half of all the iron and steel purchases Europe made from the United States in October. Italy More Optimistic. In spite of the Franco-British “front,” Italy was definitely more op- | timistic. As Premier Mussolini called his cabinet into session, primarily to | discuss monetary matters, Italian bankers foresaw an easing of financial restrictions applied under the na- tional war program. Financial experts said more money | was in prospect for Italy's treasury than it had ever before held—tons of gold and billions of bank notes. The government's problem is to finance | the East African War and combat League penalties with new taxes, cash from bond conversion and requisition of Italian credits and securities abroad. The cabinet increased the member- ship of Italy’s supreme council of de- fense to include the ministers of jus- tice, education, public works, and press, the marshals, air marshals and grand admirals of Italy, the chief of staff of the Fascist militia, and the chief inspector for pre-military and post-military training. It was understood that this reor- ganization of the council was intended to insure that no aspect of the na- tion’s defense could be overlooked. At the same time the cabinet appro- priated about $5,600,000 to set up an Italian refinery for crude oil, in the face of a League of Nations threat to shut off oil from Italy. The nation was reported to be re- sponding eagerly to the emergency. Fascist economies threatened to curtail Rome's night life, sending the | populace to bed at earlier hours, but one publication observed, “If nothing else, it will improve your health.” The Government announced Italian inter-colonial air service will begin December 3, all by Itallan planes, making Italy independent of British commercial air service. Troop Movement Scouted. The British public seemed disin- clined to take seriously reports of Italian troop movements which. in ad- vices from Rome yesterday were de- scribed as of a defensive but myste- rious character. The Italian government denied a program of defense against oil sanc- tions had been adopted, emphasizing that reprisals would be determined only if, and after, an embargo actu- ally was declared, High sources in London said such sanctions would be enforced soon after the meeting of the League Sanctions Committee of 18, December 12. A spokesman for the Austrian for- eign office said that country will re- main in the League, even If Italy withdraws, in spite of Austria’s debt to Italy, incurred when Mussolini lent support at & time when Austrian in- dependence was threatened.. GO 70 LION CUB Chevy Chase Woman’s Pet Captures Prize—Favorite of Neighborhood. | By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. CHEVY CHASE, Md., November 30. —The king of beasts is the king of pets in Chevy Chase. Surprising as it may seem, high honars in the pet show held at the local elementary school this week went to & 4-month-old lion cub of the ordi- narily vicious African species. Jerry is his name and he has been 8 favorite with the neighborhood chil- dren since he appeared here several months ago, but his blue-ribbon per- formance in the pet exhibition es- tablishes a startling precedent. Plays With Dogs. The lion cub is owned by Miss Kathryn Orme of 401 Cummings lane and is the offspring of a palr of wicked looking “cats” captured in the African jungles by “Snake” King, a big-game hunter who lives in Darnes- ville, Tex. Miss Orme met King during a vaca- tion at Atlantic City in September and purchased the cub from him. Jerry made friends immediately upon his arrival in Chevy Chase and in addition to being on the best of | terms with children of the community, | he is a bosom companion and play- | mate of neighborhood canines, includ- ing & Chesapeake Bay retriever and bulldog belonging to his mistress. ‘When pupils of Chevy Chase Ele- mentary School held their annual pet show this week, Miss Orme's young brother, Frank, took Jerry to the ex- hibition, chained him to a radiator in the school auditorium and was re- warded at the end of the day's com- petition when the judges pinned a blue ribbon on Jerry as the out- standing entry. Jerry is allowed the freedom of the Orme yard during the day, while at nights he is kept in a room on the first floor of the Orme residence. Occasionally he goes for an lu? mobile trip through the countryside or to downtown Washington with Miss Orme, She says he is never a bother. ‘The cub now weighs 50 pounds and is growing by leaps and bounds, how- ever, and Miss Orme frankly admits she has no hopes of keeping Jerry the quite and docile chap he is now. Eventually, she says, she will sell, if possible, or present Jerry to some 200, SPINAL MENINGITIS CASE IS REPORTED Man, Accused of Intoxication, Is Found to Be Victim of Disease. Taken from a cell at the first pre- cinct station house yesterday, where he was held on a charge of intoxica- tion, Thomas McLendon, 487 Penn- sylvania avenue, was sent to Gallinger Hospital, where he was found to be suffering from spinal meningitis. McLendon was the second person in two weeks to be taken to the mu- nicipal hospital suffering from the disease. The other, Harold Atkins, 55, of Reform, Va., taken from a train at Union Station, while en route to visit a son in Alexandria. He, too, was held for intoxication until he be- came critically ill and later died. Dr. George C. Ruhland, health offi- cer, said today it would be impossible for any other prisoner to contract the disease if placed in either of the two cells occupied by the meningitis vic- tim. The disease can be contracted only through close personal associa- tion, he said. He contemplates no action until he receives a report from an investigator, he asserted.

NEW YORK, November 30.—Still lacking word of the whereabouts of Lincoln Ellsworth and his pilot, Her= bert Hollick-Kenyon, other members of the expedition in Antarctica pre- pared today to obtain a plane to es- tablish relief caches for the men. In a wireless message to the New York Times and North American Newspaper Alliance, the Ellsworth base ship, the Wyatt Earp, reported it will return to Magallanes, Chile, to pick up the plane. The explorers have been unreported since last Saturday. SUPPLIES TO BE DROPPED. Plane Will Parachute Provisions at Charcot Island Depot. ABOARD THE MOTORSHIP WYATT EARP, DECEPTION IS- LAND, Weddell Sea, Antarctica, No- vember 30 (by radio).—Lincoln Ells« worth’s wireless signals from wherever he may be on the Antarctic continent have not yet been heard since they faded last Saturday when he was virtually halfway on his flight between | the Weddell and the Ross Sea. It can now be assumed that the Wyatt Earp will not be able to hear his signals until she is some distance to the south and west, but before go- ing in that direction, she will return to Magallanes and there pick up an air- plane, which will be used to depot supplies at Charcot Island, as it is passed on the way to the Ross Sea. ‘The Wyatt Earp probably will not be able to get within 150 or perhaps 200 miles of Charcot Island, and & seaplane, after flying a distance over | the pack ice, will have to parachute | the supplies for the depot. | It is hardly likely that Ellsworth | and his pilot, Herbert Hollick-Kenyon, will have needed to turn back toward Charcot Island, for they were about 1350 miles to the southwest of the island when last heard. After leaving the depot at Charcot Island the Wyatt Earp will proceed to the Ross Sea, and with both floats and skis for the new airplane, it | should be possible to do all that is re= quired to provide depots at the places where Ellsworth would expect to find them if, by chance, he has to leave his plane somewhere along the route.
