At a veterans affairs hearing in Madison the American Legion backed a World War II bonus bill while hotel men theater owners and many others opposed it. The measure would raise about 128 million dollars via luxury taxes a 60 percent income surtax and higher taxes on cigars beer liquor amusements phones and hotels. Legion leader Walter A. Rose urged amending the bill to exempt bonus recipients from the surtax. AVC head Russell H. Leitch and Horace W. Wilkie said the 1200 AVC veterans favored housing aid over a bonus. Others opposing included H L Ashworth Wisconsin Hotel Association W L Ainsworth Fond du Lac independent theater owners W V Geelan Fox Wisconsin theaters and W E McGavick Wisconsin Telephone Co. A second bill to fund 1956 bonus via a 60 percent income surtax was supported by several sponsors and Harold S. Clarke. A third plan to finance a future bonus by diverting 2000 dollars yearly from the highway fund and boosting gift and inheritance taxes drew support from Assemblyman Lynch.
