Bonds Measure Replaces House Plan With Bonus Bill
Washington January 4 The Senate committee approved the new baby bond bonus payment bill by a 15 to 2 vote. Senator Couzens Michigan and Senator Gerry Rhode Island opposed the favorable report citing Secretary Morgenthau testimony. The measure shifts the government toward a bond bonus program with an estimated cost of about 2.49 billion dollars and an immediate expense of around 1 billion. The plan, supported by veterans groups, faces likely enactment before month’s end with Roosevelt administration backing in view of earlier Senate passage of a similar inflationary bill.
