OPPOSE NEW BONUS BILL

SAYS PROPOSED LEGISLATION CANNOT BECOME LAW AT PRESENT TIME

Payment of Certificates Now Would Undo All Efforts at Reduction in Expenditures

- President Hoover Tuesday expressed absolute opposition to the much discussed project for full payment of vetearns adjused compensation certificates estimated to cost $2,000,000,000. “I do not believe any- such legisiation can become a law” he declared at his noon press conference Tuesday. He said the bill would undermine present efforts to sustain the credit of the Uniteq States government, ‘

‘The text of the president’s statement follows:

“Informal polls of the house oL representatives have created apprehension in the country that a further bonus bill of $2,000,000,000 or thereabouts for World war veterans will be passed.

“I wish to state again that I am absolutely opposed to any such legislation. I made this positon clear at the meeting of the American Legion in Detroit last September 21 and the Legion has consistently supported that position. Ido not believe any such legislation can become law.

“Such action would undo every effort' that is being made to reduce government expenditures and balance the budget. The first duty of every citizen of the United States is to build up angd sustain the credit of the United States government. Such an action would irretrievably undermine it.”

President Hoover in delivering this terse statement e nphasized forcefully each of his brief sentences with vigorous shakes of his head.

The proposed bonus legislation has been widely discussed informally among members of congress but the agitation has not yet come actually to the floor of either house. Mr. Hoover’'s action in thus voic~ ing unqualified opposition to this legislation before it had advanced to the floor of either house was regarded as an attempt to discouruage mem bers of the house and senate from joining the agitation to bring the measure up for consideration. The chief proposal is that of Rep resentative Patman democrat, Texas, for veterans adjusted compensation certificates. Patman’s proposal is that the estimated cost of about $2,000,000,000 could be met by simply issuing additional paper money to be paid out in redemption of the certificates.

Regardless of whether the committee favored such legislation, Patman believes he can force the measure out of committee by obtaining 145 signatures on a discharge petition which would automatically bring the measure to a vote in the house. . :

Although the American Legion officially has refused to endorse the proposal a large number of individual posts have voted for it and the Veterans of Foreign Wars and some other service organizations are urging enactment. General opinion among leaders iln congress is that the measure if brought to a vote on the eve of a campaign would pass, . 1t is thought President Hoover has moved to strike out at this agitation at this time not only in hope of discouraging it in the early stages but also to steady sentiment abroad where renewed concern is expressed in the foreign press over America’s ability to halance its budget.

GIVES YERDICT ON TRAGEDY

Coroner Shew Exonerates Ralilroad Company In Crash That Claimed v Two Lives

Verdicts of accidental deaths were returned by Coroner H. P. Shew in the tragedy at the Kendallville Riley street crossing of the New York Central railroad which claimed the lives of Arthur E. Stevens 51 and Forrest Witt 18. The tragedy occurred when the truck in wheih the two wer riding was struck by west bound New York <Central Twentieth Century Limited No. 25. : According to the evidence the coroner said, there was no indication of negligence on the part of the railroad company. Witnesses testified that the flasher signals at the crossing were in operation before the arrival of the tarin, and that the whistle of the train was counded for the crossing as required. :

It is belived the coroner said that the deep snow, which fell Monday night and early Tuesday morning a week ago and made driving difficult, caused Mr. Stevens to devote more attention to the driving in the snow than to the railroad crossing. - —

“Lady With a Past”

Constance Bennett looks her loveliest and give the best performance of her career in “Lady With a Past” which Manager Inks announces as the attraction at the Crystal theatre. Dazzling gowns—seventeen to be exact—direct from Paris are worn by the screen’s best dressed star. Miss Bennett’'s wardrobe is a fashoin show in itself with appeal to men as well as women. : Starting with one of the best stories aver assigned to her Miss Bennett was given a hit director a sterling supporting cast and an exceedingly lavish oroduction all resulting in excellent antertainment.

“Lady Wihith a Past” lis an ultramodern comedy on the gophisticated side, with just enough romance to add dash angd flavor.

The story relates a. society girl's adventurous evolution from wall ‘lower to charmer in international settings. The action starts in New York, whére Venice Muir, a member of a _fashionable younger set sees herself passed up by ‘the men who prefer her no more beautiful but zayer girl friends. g

Popularity continues to elude her until she goes to Puaris and fallg under the teaching of a dashing gigolo. Ben Loyn's mole of the gigalo is second in importance to that of the star as Venice and his characterization leaves nothing to be. desired. It is a great role, fat in comedy possibilities and human touches and Lyon’s interpretation of it is a high

light of the producution. - David Manner does a thoroughly good job with the other romantic lead and results justify the company.

Notre Dame will commemorate the first anniversary of the death of Knute Rockne today March 31 with A solemn requiem high mass sung by the Rev. Charles L. O'Donnel, C.S.C. oresident of the university. - He will he assisted by the Rev. M. A. Mulcaire, C.S.C., vice-president anq the Rev. James A. Carrico director of studies.

It was just a year ago today as the students were preparing to Treturn to their homes for Eatser vacation that the shocking news of Rock-~ ne's death in an airplane crash in Kansas meac_fed the university. The study body returned to classes from vacation Wednesday and there will be a general communion at the mass at 6:30 o’clock in Sacred Heart church Thursday. Classes will be held as usual. .

. The results of Rockne’s death have been many on the campus and elsewhere. The biggest single material effect of his tragic passing is the proposed Rockne Memorial fieldhouse to be built on the campus. Father O’Don nell announced that while the financlal condition of the country has resulted in a smaller fund than was expected, it is hoped that ground for }the strucuture will be broken next fall. :

RELIEF FELOUR WILL BE MADE

Lyon & Greenleaf Mill Contracts t 0 Produce 1,500 Barrles Yithout Profit

‘The Lyon Greenleaf mill of this city has contracted to convert into flour 7,500 bushels of farm board wheat for distribution by the American Red Cross in the suffering coal mining districts of West Virginia. This quantity of grain will produce about 1,500 barerls of flour, and the agreement provides that it must be milled without profit. The flour will be placed in special sacks labeled “Relief Flour’ and l;earing the number assigned to the mill for checking purposes by the distributing agency. ‘The National Federation of Millers recently agreed to mill without profit any part of the immense holdings of farm board wheat as a contribution to the relief of depression sufferers throughout the country. ! The Elkhart chapter of the Red Cross recently applied to headquarters in Washington for a carload of the flour to be distributed locally through the Relief Uentralization committee which embraces the Red Cross Associlation Charities, Salvation Army, and the Concord, Osolo and Baugo township trustees. Advices indicate that the flour will be shipped soon through ithe Chicago offices.

. Up to March 19, Red Cross chapters totaling 405 had made application for 231,268 barrels of flour and 57,640,000 bushels of grain for use m feeding livestock. : VYAST FUND IS AVAILABLE Over Billion “ For State and Local Agencies, Reports U. S. Department - Funds estimated as available for public road and bridge construction and maintenance in 1932 amount to $1,353,000,000, according to information collected from road officials by the buerau of public roads, U. S. department of agriculture. Of this amount $882,000,000 is the probable expenditure by state highway departments, and $41,000,000, it is expected will be spent.

The detailed total of road and bridge expenditures in 1931 is not yet known but the 1932 program is less by 19 per cent than the total rural road expenditure of $1,680,000,000 in 1930. Com paring state highway expenditures of $980,000,000 in 1930 with similar funds available for 1932, there is a decrease of 10 per cent. Similarly there is a decrease of 33 per cent in local funds the 1930 expenditure having been $700,000,000. \

~ The state highway funds have declineq considerably less than local funds because they are derived in large part from motor vehicle and gasoline taxation and there has been no marked reduction in these revenues. The local road funds also participate in these revenues but not to the same. extent. !
