Congress Considers Dual Cash or Adjusted Bonus Plan
A House Ways and Means hearing mulls a twofold veteran bonus proposal offering full cash payments or adjusted compensation. Rep Jeffers argues for coin value, cites $1.3195 billion cash cost if all take cash, enabling a yearlong settlement funded by bonds. The plan mirrors last season's $1 a day home and $1.25 overseas rates, with caps of 500 for home service and 625 overseas. The McKenzie bill parallels earlier vetoed measures, restricting cash to those under $50. The hearing also reviews the ex servicemen's anti bonus league led by Knolton Durham, noting 20,000 members and ongoing expenses. Some veterans oppose bonuses, while Texas’ Herbert Davenport urges allowances for his command personnel.
