Bonus bill speeds toward quick victory
The report notes that a bonus bill is moving rapidly toward approval with officials expressing confidence. The sentence mentions easion and alap stating there is no doubt about the outcome, reflecting strong support for the measure.
Harrison measure would become law for veterans
Major veterans groups support the bill as Senate leaders and President Roosevelt eyed possible approval. The measure pays the full face value of adjusted service certificates minus pre October 1931 loan interest, with bonds of 50 dollars dated June 15 1936 and maturing June 15 1945. Bonds earn 3 percent after June 15 1937 and can be cashed anytime after June 15 1936 at post offices. The plan also taps the adjusted service certificate fund about 250 million in cash and investments, totaling roughly 2.49 billion in government cost including life insurance and loan claims. Treasury borrowing would fund the requirements, and no new taxes are expected this session.
