Senate considers modified bonus plan for veterans loans
Washington May 2 Republican members of the Senate finance committee weighed a modified bonus measure built on the House plan with home loan provisions. The draft proposes 60 percent loan access for veterans from national banks, rising to 9 percent after three years from federal reserve banks, and higher home aid to 40 percent. The plan omits new funding sources, hoping to satisfy President Harding who must approve. Cost projections show year one at 77 million, rising to 1.18 billion by 1948, peaking later as obligations rise before discharge.
