BONUS QUERIES ANSWERED IN Q. AND A. FORM Summary, Explanation of Baby Bond Bill Given. By t titled Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 28— Following ia a summary and explanation of the cash-bond bonus bill, in question and answer form: Q —What, in general terms, does the bill provide? A—lmmediate payment to veterans of the full maturity value of Adjusted Service Certificates in ‘baby bonds" and cash. Q—How did the bill become law? A—By enactment by thf Senate and House of Representative over the veto of President Roosevelt. Q —How will the veterans be paid? A—ln government bonds of SSO denomination, with amounts less than SSO being paid ir. cash. A veteran whose certificate called for payment of $585 would, therefore, receive eleven SSO-bonds and $35 in cash. Q How and to whom should veterans apply for payment? A—To the nearest region office of the Veterans’ Administration. Applications will be made on blanks specially provided. Get Bonds by June 15 Q —Will payment be made to the veteran immediately upon application. A No. His application will be checked against records in Washington, which will certify to the Treasury the names of veterans entitled to receive bonus payments and the amount due. Q —After the application is approved. when can the veteran expect to receive his bonds? A—Sometime prior to June 15, 1936. Q—Will he be able to rash the bonds immediately? A—No. The bonds will be dated June 15 and cannot be cashed before that date. Q —ls it necessary to convert the bonds into cash? A—No. The veteran may hold the bonds as an investment until 1945 at 3 per cent interest. The Treasury hopes that a large majority of veterans will not cash the bonds immediately, thereby relieving the immediate cash drain on the Treasury. Unpaid Interest Deducted Q —Upon what basis will payment be marie? A—Veterans will receive ♦he full 1945 matured value of Adjusted Service Certificates, less loans. Q What happens to interest on certificate loans? A -Unpaid interest accrued prior to Oct. 1, 1931, will be deducted from the payment. Unpaid interest coming due since Oct. 1, 1931, will be forgiven. Veterans who have paid the interest on their loans since Oct. 1, 1931, will not, however, receive rebates. Very few veterans stand to lose by this ruling, however, as only a very small percentage have paid any interest since 1931. Q —ls a veteran has borrowed money from a bank, giving his adjusted Service Certificate as collateral, and owes the bank interest accrued since Oct. 1.1931. what happens? A—The veterans administration will pay the interest to the bank, without deducting the amount from the bonus payment. Q—Must the veteran apply for his bonus payment immediately? A—No. He may apply at any time before 1945. Q—What happens if the veteran dies? A—ls the veterans dies after the application is made and before it. is filed, it may be filed by any person. If he dies after application is made, it shall be valid if the veterans administration finds that it boars the bonafide signature of the applicant, discloses an intention to claim benefits of the act, and is filed before payinent is made to the beneficiary. Bonds Not Negotiable <s—'Will the bonds be negotiable? A—No. They will be payable only to the veteran receiving them. They can not be transferred or assigned. Q —Where can they be redeemed in cash? A—At any postoffice cr U. S. Treasury sub-station. Q —Will the bonds be subject to attachment? A—No. They can not be attached, levied upon or seized under any legal or equitable process. Q—What provision is made in the bill to raise money to cover payments to veterans? A—None. Q—Upon what main contention did President Roosevelt base nis veto? A—That the government's financial situation was not such as to permit the spending of such a sum; and that Congress failed +o enact new T taxes to provide funds to pay the veterans. Q—What will be the total cost to the government? A—Approximately $2,237,000,000. 3.518.000 To Share Q—How many veterans will be eligible to receive payments? A—Approximately 3,518.000. Q—ls any minimum length of service prescribe for bonus eligibility? A—Yes. The original Adjusted Service Compensation Law provided that veterans were not to be paid for the first 60 days of service. Those serving less than 60 days, therefore, were not entitled to adjusted service compensation and will not be entitled to payment under the new law. Q —What is the average value of outstanding Adjusted Service Certificates? A--About $985. Q —What is the average amount each veteran will receive. A—Approximately $490, inasmuch as most of the veterans have previously borrowed half the amount of their certificates. Q —How was compensation com.puted In the original act? A—The veteran was credited with $1 for each day of service in this country and $125 for each day of overseas service with a maximum of SSOO for the veteran who staved in this country and $625 for the veteran who served overseas. To this amount was added an arbitrary 25 per cent; the total thcrebv becoming the "basic credit.” The full maturity value was obtained on the basis of the amount of paid-up 20-year endowment insurance which could be purchased w r ith the "basic credit” being used as a single premium.

NOT UNLESS THE LAW OF GRAVITY IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

Work on Bonus Is Rushed as U. S. Leaders Seek Way to Pay $2,237,000,000 Bill Application Bianks Ready, May Be Put in Mails Today; New Tax Proposals to Raise Necessary Funds Deemed Certain; White House Action Awaited.

(Continued From Page One) nus voted yesterday over the President’s veto provided for placing "baby” bonds in the hands of some 3.518,000 veterans by mid-June. President Roosevelt and veterans’ leaders joined in urging former soldiers to hold the bonds as a 3 per cent investment, except in cases of urgent need. But the complicated machinery of paying the bonus is simple compared to the question of how Congress is going to get the money out of the public pocketbook to finance the expenditure. New tax proposals were considered certain. But Congress with an eye on forthcoming elections wants the initiative to come from the White House. President Roosevelt already has experts at work drafting new taxation to finance whatever new farm program is adopted. Money Must Be Provided Congress probably would refuse to authorize payment of the bonus in printing press money. But despite efforts to persuade veterans not to cash their "baby” bonds immediately after June 15 a large part of the money must be provided in one way or another. If it is not paid by taxes or inflation, it must be added to the national debt. | Tax resources from which some or all of the funds could be obtained include: New inheritance taxes, which the Treasury was understood to be considering on the theory that collections could be kept separate to apply against the national debt. Higher income taxes as favored —and likely to be proposed again—by Senator Robert La Follette. Excise Tax Proposed Boosted corporation taxes. Excise taxes, either as a sales tax on retail sales or on manufacturers. It was pointed out that the method and the amount of taxation which will be necessary depends entirely on the nation’s business. On the basis of 1928 business the present tax structure would produce some $8,000,000,000 as compared to the $5,101,000,000 estimated for the 1937 fiscal year, without counting processing taxes. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. indicated he had no suggestions to make about taxes, but is waiting to hear from Capitol Hill. Congressional leaders in turn indicated they are waiting to hear from Morgenthau. Many to Be Employed To expedite checking of bonus applications, computation of interest. and payment of the veterans, between 2500 and 3000 additional employes will be hired from the civil service rolls over the next sixmonths period, President Roosevelt was advised. Mr. Roosevelt, accepting the congressional mandate, directed the Treasury and Veterans' Administra-. tion to carry out terms of the bill "as expeditiously as accuracy will permit.’’ He appealed to veterans for ‘patience” in view of the* "magnitude” of the task. The national commanders of the

American Legion, the Disabled Veterans and the Veterans of Foreign Wars said after a White House visit that they would do all in their power to persuade the veterans not to cash their bonds “except for some permanently useful purpose.” Asked to Hold Bonds A statement issued after the White House conference said the President and the commanders were "fully agreed" that “every effort should be made by the veterans. by their organizations and by all who have their welfare at heart to prevent the frittering away of cash obtained from the bonds. Permanent advantages as opposed to wholly temporary pleasure should be the criterion.” Veterans who can afford to were appealed to to "hold these nontransferable bonds.” The bonds, which will draw 3 per cent interest, are “the safest imaginable investment; they are true thrift bonds,” the statement said. Guardians May Be Needed By United Press MARION, Ind., Jan. 28.—Appointment of guardians may be necessary before more than 500 men in the United States veterans hospital here receive their bonus money or bonds, it was announced today. The Veterans Administration has opposed payment of any funds to incompetent veterans not under guardians. More than 1000 other veterans here are under guardians, and the filing of their application will be handled by these officials.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Baby Race The doctor's car was frozen, and he was 20 minutes late to the birth of a seven and one-half-pound baby girl, but Patrolmen Francis Gootee and Julius Ranking were on the spot and mother and child are doing well today, thanks. It was the first baby for Mr. and Mrs. Paul Stewart, 837 Buchanan-st, and the father was frantic when he was unable to get a taxi or an ambulance or a doctor. So he called police and they got there in a hurry. It was new business for Pattrolmsn Gootee and Ranking, coo, but they did their best and when the doctor finally panted up the steps all was well.

POLICE MOTORCYLE BIDS HIGH, BOARD SAYS Four Autos for Department Ordered By Safety Body. City police will not get their 15 new motorcycles, the Safety Board decided today. That is not unless better bids are submitted than the ones received this morning. The lowest price for a motorcycle and sidecar was S4BO, which seemed high to the board. The board accepted bids for three autos for the police department at $413 each, and asked Albert H. Losche, city purchasing agent to write other cities and find out what they paid for motorcycles.

CITY VETERANS RECEIVE BONUS BLANKSTODAY 50 Millions Expected to Be Paid Ultimately to State Veterans. Clerical wheels in the United States Veterans’ Bureau regional office on Cold Spring-rd, and the Indiana department of the American Legion whirled today as Hoosier World War veterans were given their first opportunity to collect their bonus in “baby" bonds. Fifty million dollars may be paid in bonds to Indiana veterans. Application blanks for the full payment of the adjusted compensation. authorized yesterday by Congress when the Senate overthrew the veto of President Roosevelt, w’ere to be available to Indianapolis veterans today. Temporary headquarters for bonus applications were to be opened this afternoon by the American Legion at 136 N. Dela-ware-st and by the Veterans of Foreign Wars at 627 K. of P. Building. District Executives Meet Legion executives of the Twelfth district met at noon under the direction of Ralph B. Gates, district commander, to discuss the methods of handling the applications and to form a permanent headquarters for distribution of the applications. William E. Sayer, legion department adjuster, said applications would be in the mail and on their way to legion posts throughout the state by this afternoon. The Indiana department had been authorized to print 15.000 blanks as a temporary supply until 50,000 blanks could arrive in this city by express, Mr. Sayer said. Printing presses were put in operation this morning turning out the temporary application blanks. John H. Ale, Veterans’ Bureau manager in Indianapolis, said he conferred today with Mr. Sayer and the heads of other veterans’ groups regarding the distribution of the blanks. 1000,000 Applications Expected A copy of the original bonus application for filing by veterans was received late last night by Mr. Sayer and printers were given the copy for resetting into type. A competent corps of clerks will assist veterans, regardless of their Legion affiliation, in filling out the applications, Mr. Sayer said. It was estimated that 100,000 applications will be handled by city veterans’ groups and the regional office of the Veterans’ Bureau. Mr. Ale said all applications received at his regional office will be filed in the order in which they are received. When Loans Have Been Made The original application blank received here provides that if a veteran has not borrowed on his certificate he should send the certificate to the nearest regional office which in the case of Hoosier veterans will be Indianapolis. If a loan is outstanding the application should be sent to the regional office of the veterans bureau where the loan was obtained as shewn on •‘pink” receipt slips given to the veterans at the time the last loan was made on policies in 1931. If a loan has been made on the certificate at a bank the application may be sent direct to the Veterans’ Administration in Washington, D. C. Cashable After June 15 After filing the application with the regional office in Indianapolis or in the state where the loan was made on the policy the veteran need not write or call in person regarding his bonus payment. The regional office will certify to the Washington office of the Veterans’ Bureau the authorization for payment. Following this the application will be checked by the War and Navy departments for fingerprint identification and then turned over to the Treasury for issuance of the SSO "baby” bonds and warrants for odd dollars on the bonus applications. The "baby” bonds may be cashed, upon their receipt by veterans, after June 15, 1936. The Application Blank Fingerprints, said Mr. Ale, must accompany the applications. The short application blank sent to the Indiana department of the legion reads as follows: “I hereby make application for the settlement of any amount due and payable to me on adjusted service certificates No date amount $ further identified by No. A which was issued to (veteran's name) based upon military or naval service during the World War who was born at (place of birth of veteran) on (date of birth of veteran) and who may be further identified by Army, Navy or Marine Corps serial No Date of enlistment date of discharge and rank and organization at date of discharge ‘‘l hereby surrender all right, title

King George Buried With His Ancestors in Ancient Palace as Realm Mourns

Entire World Listens to Broadcast of Simple Services. (Continued From Page One) waved in the wind from black staffs erected all along the one and one-half-mile route from the railway station. Above the streets, black with somberly clad people, every window, balcony and loof was crowded. Bell Tolls Mournfully The great bel'. in the curfew tower of the castle was tolled mournfully. The funeral train arrived and the tolling ceased at once. • Non-commissioned officers of the guards took the coffin from the train and bore it to its gun carriage. The royal standard was draped over the coffin, and on the standard were placed the glittering imperial crown, orb and sceptre and the regalia of the most noble order of the garter, the supreme in knighthood. The Union Jack was hauled down from the castle flagstaff, and the royal standard was raised. Plumed Generals in Lead Guns crashed in salute. Hordes of pigeons, startled, flew from their nests in the castle battlements and circled overhead. The guard of honor saluted and the procession moved off along the crooked streets. The procession was headed by plumed generals, gold-braided admirals and air force officers in skyblue uniforms. They were followed by heralds in many-colored, brocaded tabards, emblazoned with the arms of Britain. Walking behind the gun carriage, ing Edward VIII had his head slightly bowed and he glanced nervously to left and right. Queen Hidden ir Landau The members of foreign royalty gazed in interest at the ancient castle, and King Leopold of Belgium seemed to be pointing it out to King Boris of Bulgaria. Queen Mary rode in a black landau, seat in the back, and was almost invisible to the crowds. She was preceded by foreign military representatives in flashing, multicolored uniforms and glistening, plumed helmets. As the procession moved slowly along High-st at the foot of Castle Hill, the mournful tones of the funeral march were almost inaudible to those at the rear and an almost deathly silence prevailed, broken chiefly by the tramp of marching feet and gunshots fired in salute. The coffin was "piped off” Vv gun carriage and carried up the chapel steps while bagpipers played the lament. "Flowers of the Forest.” King Edward waited at the foot of the stairs. Inside the chcir softly sang a psalm. When the mourners had entered, the funeral service began. It lasted nine minutes. As the coffin was placed on its bier over the hole in the stone floor through which it later sank to the vaults, King Edward took his position at the head of the bier and the earl marshal, the youthful Duke of Norfolk, at the foot. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York conducted the office for burial of the dead, assisted by the whole sacred hierarchy of the order of the garter—the Bishop of Winchester as prelate of the order, the Bishop of Oxford as chancellor and the Dean of Winchester as registrar. The service was brief and simple, for the church says the same farewell to King and commoner. There was only one hymn, “Abide With Me,” which was the King’s favorite. London Pays Tribute By United Press LONDON. Jan. 28.—King George's body was taken today, in a state procession as magnificent as any of and interest to the above described adjusted service certificates.” Further Identification Required The applicant must be identified, in a space provided, by a postmaster; a commissioned officer of the Army. Navy or Marine Corps; a member of the House or Senate, an officer of a post, chapter or other comparable unit of a recognized veterans’ organization; a state or national officer of a veterans’ organization; or “any person who is legally authorized to administer oaths in a state, territory, possession, District of Columbia, or in a Federal judicial district, of the United States. The blank warns veterans that calling in person or writing after application is filed will not expedite settlement. "Do not write regarding application, other than to notify of a change of address. All applications will be handled in order of their receipt.” the application says.

Opposition to transfer of county funds, special appropriations, and urging a state statute to provide for a county purchasing agent, was outlined today by William A. Brown, new Marion County Council president, as the policy of the council at its 1936 organization meeting. The council approved a resolution to seek and act at the next session of the Legislature for the transfer of inmates of the Julietta Hospital for the Insane to a state institution. Approval also was given by the council to SIOO,OOO in appropriations for which money has been provided. One of the appropriations was for $41,000 for caring for additional oldage pensioners. A court order of Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox mandated the council to approve the appropriation. New Home Site Tabled The council tabled action directed toward the purchase of property for anew site for the Detention Home. In reading into the council record opposition to fund transfers the council said in part: "We will pay no more bills for anything that has not been put through in the proper manner and for which money has not been appropriated, except in the case of emergency for food and clothing. We oppose the transfer of funds.” The council also suggested that all department heads of the county government meet with it and the county commissioners to discuss appropriations and expenditures. modern times, along streets massed crushingly with silent crowds of his subjects, to Paddington Railway Station and burial among his ancestors in a vault of St. George's Chapel, in gray-walled Windsor Castle. The flashing of brilliant uniforms of kings, queens, nobles and soldiers; the roar of saluting guns, the deep-toned tolling of bells, the silver notes of chimes, the slow funereal strains of massed bands, the wild, wailing laments of bagpipes, the slow, measured tread of soldiers on the sanded streets—all these combined to make the procession a spectacle that was overwhelming emotionally to many who saw it. Soldiers of many regiments, sailors, marines, air force men, field marshals, court officers marched ahead of the gun carriage on which the King's coffin was drawn by sailors of the naval school in which he spent his boyhood. King Edward VIII. his brothers the Dukes of York, Gloucester and Kent; the Kings of Belgium. Bulgaria, Denmark, Norway and Rumania; the President of Franceconspicuous in black civilian clothes —crown princesses, statesmen, nobles, dignitaries of many nations sent to honor the dead King walked in the rain and sun behind the gun carriage. Queen Mary, the widow, longveiled, bowing occasionally in silent thanks for the crowd’s silence; Princess Mary, Queen Maud of Norway, his surviving sister, and other royal women rode next in state carriages.

FLANDIN, EDEN DISCUSS NAZI REARMAMENT Conference Held in London on Eve of Funeral lor George. V. By United Press PARIS. Jan. 28 —Foreign Minister Pierre Etienne Flandin. in London for King George's funeral, has discussed alleged German rearmament in the demilitarized Rhineland zone with British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, it was announced officially today. Flandin also was expected to confer with British Prime Minister Stanley Balowin. It was understood that he would discuss the moribund naval conference, as well. His conference with Capt. Eden, representative of France's World War ally, on the eve of such a solemn occasion as King George's funeral. showed increasing grave concern in France over reports of German rearmament in the Rhineland zone, demilitarized by the Versailles Treaty. The question may become the cause of political tension within a short time. Complaint to League Hinted Andre Francois-Poncet, French ambassador to Germany, has informed the Nazi government that violation of the Versailles Treaty restrictions would be cause for formal complaint to the League of Nations. it was learned. The French government has received definite indications that th third anniversary of the Nazi accession to power Thursday will be made the occasion for a military display within the zone, whether with or without official cognizance. These indications were the basis of Glandin's conversations with Capi. Eden last night and of Poncet’s representations. Many Frenchmen Anxious Many highly placed Frenchmen awaited the Thursday anniversary with unconcealed anxiety, fearing that Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler might choose the occasion to announce Nazi flaunting of the one section of the Versailles Treaty that has not been flaunted before. The newspaper Excelsior charged that the Nazi government had established a "Hindenburg line” of airports through the zone that could be used as the taking-off place for air raids on France. These ports are close together, have underground rooms where officers and men and planes would be safe from bombing attacks, and each is equipped with 100 military planes, Excelsior said.
