5, I. BILL’ HEADING FOR HOUSE BATTLE

WASHINGTON, May 4 (U. re) A revamped version of the senate approved “G. I. bill of rights” to-| day appeared headed for heated] debate when it reaches the house floor, probably next week. Unemployment pay provisions of the senate measure were halved and loan benefits boosted from $1000 to $1500 in the bill when the house veterans legislation committee approved unanimously yeterday after five weeks of hearings. The house bill would grant veterans pay readjustment allowances af $20 weekly for a maximum of 26 weeks, deductible from any possible future bonus payments. This would cut in half the senate proposal for benefits ranging from $15 to $25 weekly, depending upon dependency, for a maximum of 52 weeks. House committee proposals on loan benefits were more generous, allowing up to $1500 to veterans) qualifying for aid in purchasing a farm, home or business. The senate ceiling on this item was $1000. In both instances the loans would be interest-free for one year and at 3 per cent interest thereafter.

REOPEN LIQUOR PROBE WASHINGTON, May 4 (U. P.).— A senate judiciary subcommittee reopenéd hearings today into the nation's war-born liquor shortage with WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson among the Witnesses.

PER STRATEGY, James M. Tucker is going “all out” in his bid senatorial

nomination. “He has opened headquarters at the Claypool (Room 724), selected and announced formation of a Tucker-for-

Senator Committee which will have complete charge of his campaign. |

Keisker, Wayne county G. O, P, chairman and long-time personal friend. Members of the Tucker-for-Senator Committee are Mr. | Keisker, chairman; H. D. Crisler,

also will have charge of the Tucker headquarters here.

The noteworthy feature of this setup is that it is composed of men who by no stretch of the imagination can be called party bosses. The allegation that he is being run by such acknowledgéd party bosses as Ivan Morgan, Burrell Wright and Henry Marshall has been used against him by his enemies to some’ effect in places where these party leaders have

‘enemies,

As a candidate, Mr. Tucker naturally is slapping no supporter in the face. As a candidate too he could not get to first base without the support of Mr. Morgan, his district chairman. He is apparently hopeful that through fermation of the Tucker-for-senator committee, composed of rank-and-file Republicans, “to have complete charge of the campaign” he can do much to con-

{ vince all Republicans that he is not being dominated.

Good Vote-Getter.

CHIEF STRATEGY in the Tucker campaign will be to try to convince the Republican convention delegates that they must nominate a proven vote-getter to run against Governor Schricker in the fall. Mr. Tucker's record is unexcelled on this point. He the only Republican elected to state office in 1938 and he was reelected in 1940, leading the G. O. P. state ticket both times. Homer E. Capehart, Mr. Tuck-er's-opponent for the nomination, has never run for an office before and has had no chance to prove his vote-getting ability. On the basis df=the poor-show-

ing made by the soldier candi-

dates in the various congressional races, the‘ Tucker supporters believe that his military record will be of little value except to make him just that much more available. Mr. Capehart is a veteran of world war I. = = 2

‘Aid to Capehart

THE ANGLE of the Capehart campaign that seems to be catching hold in some quarters, according to neutral observers, is the send-a-businessman to the senate slogan, Many small businessmen, according to these observers, are supporting Mr, Capehart on these

grounds.
