PLEADS SOR BONUS BILL (United Press Service) Washington, Jan. 31 —(Special to Diffly Democrat) — Between 600,000 and 900,000 ex-service men are walking the streets out of work “wondering why congress doesn't help them,” Hanford MacNieder, national commander of the American Legion, told the house ways and means committee today, urging immediate passage of the bonus bill. "The longer congress delays the bonus,” MacNieder declared, “the more ill will the men and women who served will stir up against the government.” The legion MacNeider said, will conduct a comprehensive campaign to get the veterans to choose the insurance or home help option of a proposed bonus measure which he said would cost the government less money. “But," he said, “with so many of our men walking the streets hunting for jobs the Legion feels we have no right to say that any man shall not take the cash payment. That is the take the cash payment. That is the veterans prerogative and he earned the right to use it.” MacNeider rapped Secretary Mellon for his stand against the bonus. “Instead of opposing the bill by pointing out the difficulties of financing it,” MacNeider declared, “Mellon would do better by finding and suggesting proper methods of raising the money. The nation who- Mellon is supposed to be serving wants this lebt paid.'’ . • Quake Tremors Heard 5 Thousand Miles Away (United I’i’vrn Service).
