BONUS BILL AND TAX CUT CAUGUT ,' IN SENATE JAM — 1 Obstacles Threaten to Delay Final Passage Before Political Conventions, By PAUL R. MALI/ON United Press Staff Correspondent k WASHINGTON, April 17.-r-The bonus bill and tax reduction today were stalled behind obstacles that threatened seriously to delay their final passage. Senate disputes have prevented these measures from coming before the Senate and unless that body decides to forgo its usual Easter recess the adjusted compensation bill cannot be taken up before next week. Senator Curtis, who will be in charge of the bonus bill on the floor, has made arrangements to get it up as soon as the immigration bill is disposed of, but other pending matters may further delay action. Only a little more than six weeks remain before the political conventions. The bonus will take a week and the tax bill —at the most conservative estimates —will require four weeks.
