ACTIVE BATTLE LAUNCHED FOR BONUS PASSAGE Conversion of Hoover Seen by Optimistic Patman, Leading Fight. By Bcripps-H award Kewspaper A lUnnr.e WASHINGTON, April 4.—Witn the tax bill through the house, congressmen advocating immediate cash payment of the $2,200,000,000 soldier bonus today began a drive for passage of this legislation. President Hoover's warning that he will veto the measure should it pass congress is being ignored. The ways and means committee may start hearings on the bill this week. When and if the bill reaches the senate, it will have to wait until the revenue bill is disposed of. In addition to urging the bonus to help unemployed veterans, advocates of the bill now are asserting it will meet a national need by increasing money in circulation. Representative Patman (Dem., Tex.) its chief sponsor, asserts it is not an “inflation measure.” “Reflation” Says Patman “It is a reflation measure," he says. “This means Jutiflable inflation.” Representative Rankin (Dem., Miss.) does not draw such a fine distinction. "The currrncy must be inflated if we are to recover from this panic,” Rankin said in a statement. “It must be inflated if we are to witness a rise in the price of agricultural commodities and a restoration of normal conditions in the Industrial centers.” So confident is Patman that the inflation argument will prove persuasive that he predicts by the time the bill reaches the White House President Hoover will have dropped his opposition. “The President will be persuaded by logic and reason to approve the bonus,” Patman said. “The pressure will come from the people. They want this additional money placed in circulation.” Won't Affect Gold Standard batman's bill authorizes the printing of new treasury notes in denominations ranging from $1 to SI,OOO each. “This issuance will not affect continuation of the gold standard for American money,” he is telling congressmen. “We now are on a 40 per cent gold standard basis, which is high. England continued on a gold standard with only 10 per cent of gold. “Bills issued by banks are not supported by gold, but by government bonds. There already is more than a billion dollars in the treasury fund to retire the adjusted service certificates when they become due.” “More than 5,000,000 names are attached to petitions now on file with congressmen and senators,” Patmon said. "They are not all from soldiers, but from farmers and small business men, too.”

8Y BRUCE CATTQN THE Rev. Howatt Freemantle was a minister in a miserable little English manufacturing city. He was overworked and underpaid, he had an ailing and complaining wife, and his efforts to spread enlightenment among his self-right-eous and hypocritical parishioners were unvaryingly unsuccessful. But he stuck to the job without complaint, and when the daughter of one of his parishioners ran away to London, he meekly shouldered the task of going to persuade her to return home. All this *s discussed in “And Now Goodbye,” by James Hilton. It is one of the tenderest and most appealing novels of the spring. What happened after the minister got to London and found the girl, of course, makes the story. It’s hard to summarize it without doing an injustice to the book. To say that he and the girl discovered that they were in love with each other, that a vision of anew, free life opened before the poor man when he looked in her eyes, that they planned to run away to Vienna together and that their plan was foiled by the intervention of a train wreck—all of that sounds as if it were just another book about an erring husband, and it's really a lot more than that. “And Now Goodbye” is published by William Morrow & Cos., at $2.50

DEMOCRATS CLAIM 15 ‘SURE’ STATES

By Vnitrd Tress WASHINGTON, April 4.—Democratic leaders in a renewed appeal for “victory fund” contributions claim the party already is “sure” of carrying fifteen states in the presidential election, has “excellent prospects” in eighteen and “fair prospects” in eleven more. The states listed as “sure” and “excellent prospects” have 353 electoral votes —87 more than the 266 necessary to elect a President. The tabulation of states was made in a “victory-gram,” which is being mailed this week to 100.000 Democrats in all parts of the country. They were urged to complete the party’s $1,500,000 “victory fund” before April 13, when leaders will hold a big Jefferson day rally here. Signers of the appeal for funds were former Governor Harry F. Byrd, Virginia; Speaker John N.

THEY TELL ME

'T'ALKING loud may fool many people, but the voter soon gets tired of the candidate whose lungs are good, but whose ideas are lackI ing. It probably was with this in mind, as well as the desire to smoke out the aspirants for the Democratic i nomination for United States senator on the question of public utili- ; ties, that Bernard B. Shively of Marion entered the race. “Yes, I am a candidate for the senate nomination,” he declares, “but not a very active one. The Democratic party owes me nothing, nor does it owe anybody else anything, for the matter.” In his statement, Shively declares that he has been informed that the Democratic senator nomination is a set-up, but he hopes that the personnel of the convention may stampede from the cut and dried route and select a worthy nominee. And Shively is right. m m n As author of the law creating the public service commission, he is familiar with the utility problem and his entrance, in the campaign is to force one of the three other candidates to say something about this question. They have been strangely mum—but it is not so strange. Not since 1926, when Albert Stump ran against Watson and failed to mention the Klan, corruption, or other issues, have Democratic candidates been so mutiP. jump’s peculiar reticence lost

SPRING’S first flowers are blooming. The last cold snap has disappeared and, with the coming of April showers, May flowers are getting an early start in the woods. Home gardeners long have attempted to transplant woods and field flowers in their backyard plots, but have been more disappointed than successful. The main reason is that wild flowers, tender natives of wild places, must have as near their original f.urroundings as possible to succeed. u n u IN transplanting them, dig up a good section of earth along with the plants. Carry this earth with the plant, taking care not to loosen it, to the spot you want to set it in your yard. Leaf mould should be spread thoroughly around the plant, and the ground should be kep well moist at all times. If the plant was found in a shady spot in the w 7 oods, try to set it in shade at home. Some of the early spring flowers which may be found growing in the woods near your home are violets. crocuses, Dutchman’s breeches, bloodroot. anemones, daffodils and some wild geraniums. Held in Attack Case Alleged to have attempted to assault a 12-year-old girl, Charles Walker, 57, who gave his address as 1146 Woodlawn avenue, was held today by police on a statutory charge following arrest Sunday.

Garner; Senator J. Hamilton Lewis, Illinois; former Senator James A. Reed, Missouri; Senator Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas; Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, New York; former Governor Alfred E. Smith, New York, and Governor George White, Ohio, all presidential possibilities. The states were listed as follows: _,,“ Sl i re ”—Alabam a . Arizona. Arkansas. Florida, .Georgia. Louisana. Maryland. Mississippi, New Mexico. North Carolina. Oklahoma. South Carolina. Tennessee. Texas and Virginia—l 49 electoral votes. “Excellent Prospects”—Colorado, Connecticut. Kentucky. Montana. Nebraska. New York. Ohio and West Virginia, which went Democratic in 1930 elections, and Delaware. Indiana. Massachusetts. Missouri. New Hampshire. New Jersey. Nevada. Rhode Island. Washington and Wyoming—--204 electoral votes. •'Fair Prospects”—ldaho. Illinois. Kansas. South Dakota, which went Democratic in 1930. and lowa. Maine. Minnesota. North Dakota.

him support which might have been ardent. The same again may occur. There, for instance, is Lew O’Bannon of Corydon, who hasn’t opened his mouth on any topic of public interest. In fact, if the lists of aspirants were not consulted, you wouldn’t know he was running. The Democratic party doesn’t owe him anything, as far as can be learned. There also is Walter Myers, Speaker of the 1931 house of representatives, who has devoted his vocal chords and vocabulary to the tax situation and the tariff The Democratic party doesn’t owe him anything, as far as can be learned. nun And here is Fred Van Nuys, who also talks about the tariff and taxation. The Democratic party doesn't owe Kim anything, as far as can be learned. But the Democratic party will owe any one of these candidates the nomination if he brings forth some concrete ideas on unemployment relief, the utility situation, old age pensions on a national scope, and methods whereby such economic cataclysms as exist at this time can be averted in the future. True enough is the phase, “anybody will be better than Watson,’ but at least you know where Watson stands, because he makes no effort to disguise Up hard-shell, conservative Republicanism.
