Senate Debates Vinson Bonus Bill Amid Harrison Alternative

Washington May 2 The senate opened debate on the Harrison compromise for veteran bonus certificates with Senator Clark introducing the Vinson full payment measure as a substitute. Clark signaled belief it could win enough votes to replace the Harrison substitute. The Vinson bill would let veterans cash certificates at full face value, funded from existing money. Harrison’s plan would backdate issuance and cash at current redemption value, while Patman's proposal would pay in full from new currency. The Costigan Wagner proposal to widen penalties for lynching failed to gain ground as the senate adjourned.
