General Frank T. Hines head of the Veterans Bureau testifies before the Senate Finance Committee and refuses to back any readjustment plans. He urges Congress to extend benefits to disabled veterans widows and orphans and to fund more hospitals and soldiers homes while letting able bodied ex servicemen adapt with other citizens. Ed Dutfield of Prudential Life Insurance argues issuing new government securities for a cash bonus would delay prosperity.
