NEW PLAN TO
PAY SOLDIERS
GIVENSTUDY
WASHINGTON Dec 22 '4*1—A
new soldiers' bonus proposal which
would result In payment of $1 200-
000.000 in cash to veterans took a
high place Saturday night on the
list of compromise plans submitted
to the administration.
Informed sources who declined to
be quoted by name said the scheme
had been given careful study by of-
ficial* who hope to avert a strong
move for immediate cash payment.
The latest plan — should it be ac-
cepted — is depended upon by it*
initiators to settle the question and
to save the treasury a billinn dollars
besides.
The propost Loo calls fqi the cer-
tificates to be paid in 1935 and the
law would be amended so they would
date from Armistice day. 1918 in-
stead of 1925 as at present. The cer-
tificate* under existing legislation
would mature in 1945 but the bonus
group wants immediate payment.
On this basis the certificates would
be paid on a maturity of 17 years
instead of 30 as proposed in the
Patman bill.
Advocates of the plan argue that
if the date of the certificate* were
moved back to the end of the World
War. veterans would receive all but
three years of Interest on the certi-
ficates if they were paid in 1933.
On of those who is supporting the
proposal outlined the situation thus-
*y:
"The average certificate is around
$1000. About 80 per cent of the
veterans already had borrowed 50
per cent of the total value. Under
our proposition a veteran who had
borrowed $300 on a thousand dollar
certificate would receive about $300
in cash.
"It is roughly figured that this
would cost about $1 200.000.000 and
would save the government $1000-
000000.

—A strike of Southwestern Gas and
Electric Company employes caused
about 100.000 persons w Shreveport
and nearby towns to be “in the
dark" for 45 minutes just after
midnight Saturday.
The strike caused a shutdown of
the Arsenal Hill plant of the com-
pany. which has the electric fran-
chise here. The strike came without
warning company officials said
and about 25 employes walked out.
A. O. Walker representing the
International Brotherhood of Elec-
trical Workers said the strike was
a result of “persistent refusal on
the part of the utility company's of-
ficials to bargain collectively with
our organization and flat!/ to re-
fusa all offers of arbitration." He
said only pear/Tul tactics would be
followed In the strike.
Company officials said Walker
approached the company olfldals In
November and asked that the com-
pany recognise him as spokesman
for his union In the classifications j
it covers. At that time officials In-
formed him no employes had com-
plained rid thv would take the
mater of secognition under legal ad-
visement. Later the company con-

Probe Of Arms

—
i WASHINGTON. Dec. 22. i^V-The
! senate munitions committee its last
dollar spent investigating the arm*
Industry indicated Saturday it was
pining its hope on world opuuon to
bring further inquiry here and
abroad.
The inquiry winding up its six-
weeks of pre-Chnstmas hearings
Friday received an emphatic asser-
tion from the war department op-
posing nationalization of the muni-
tions industry as “ a DOUcy which
would fail in war and therefore does
not appear logical in peace.’
The statement presented by Lieu-
tenant Colonel C. T. Harris and ap-
proved by Secretary Dem. argued it
would cost $1000000000 at the out-
set to nationalize the industry and
provide for equipping 4.000.000 sol-
diers. The upkeep was estimated at
$80000000 annually which the
army high command contended
would double the peace-time cost of
national defense.
Chairman Nve (R-ND) replied his
committee would shoot this argu-
ment “full of hole*”
With the committee's $50000 gone
however it was up to the senate to
say whether the inquiry would go
on. committee members planning a
request for mom funds say at least
$50000 additional U needed.
Before meeting Saturday to de-
cide whether they would couple any
recommendations for legislation
with their request for more money
committee members exnref-sed satis-
faction that Great Britain had set
up a royal commission to investi-
gate munitions. Some of the sena-
tors expressed hope the British in-
quiry would not be a ••white-wash.”
