The Bonus Bill Headed To Senate Action
A long margin article outlines the Soldier Bonus bill passed by the House and moving to the Senate for consideration. It would issue adjusted service certificates to enlisted men and officers up to captain, with values based on home or overseas service, plus annual interest if held to 1942, and cash options for smaller amounts. The measure, potentially costing about four billion dollars, faces loans and alternative provisions, with critics citing rising national debt and per capita impact.
