Essentials of Patman Bonus Measure
Washington May 22 AP reports on Patman bonus bill details. It would cash 3 590 000 adjusted service certificates for World War veterans immediately using new currency totaling about 2.2009 billion. Treasury authority to issue currency depends on price level hitting the 1921 1999 average. Backers say this curbs inflation. Average veteran would receive 497 dollars per certificate plus 400 already received. About 15 percent who have not borrowed could average 1,000 dollars.
