START DRIVE
FOR EARLY AC
TION ON BONUS
Washington, Feb. 17. ? A drive
started today (or Senate passage to
morrow of the World War veteran*
loan bill in exactly -the Mpae as It
was passed by the House yesterday.
Passage by Thursday appears cer
tain.
Receipt of the bill from the House
started an all-day debate, with an ap
parently overwhelming majority de
manding Immediate action to send
the bill to President Hoover for sig
nature.
A White House conference late in
the day between Chairman Reed
Smoot, of the Senate finance commit
tee, and President Hoover led to mak
ing of plans for passing the MH
Thursday. This would place It on I
the President's desk Friday. Some
leaders are urging President Hoover
to sign the measure despite Secre
tary of Treasury Mellon's opposition,
and a veto is not regarded as a cer
tainty.
Confers With Reed-'
After the conference with Smoot,
Mr. Hoover left hi* office at the
White House proper an hour earlier
than usual to meet Senator David A.
Reed, Republican, Pennsylvania. It
was understood they discussed a sub
stitute veterans' bill.
Reed was with the President until
near j y 6:30 p. m. When he emerged,
lie said he had been discussing sev
eral amendments which he hoped tu
have included in the bill, but that "the
steam-roller Is already working," and
he did not have much hope for suc
cess.
Under-Secretary of the Treasury
Ogden Mills and Walter E. Hope, As
sistant Secretary of the Treasury,
'?onferred with Mr. Hoover after
Itecd's departure.
Two amendments were offered on
the Senate floor to the loan bills. Qne
was by Senator J. Thomas Helliv
Democrat, Alabama, and would re
duce the interest rate. The other was
by Senator Elmer Thomas, Democrat,
Oklahoma, and would provide "that
do interest shall be computed or col
lected by the KovemtMnt on loans
made on certificates on which loans
have already been made."
The leaders also plan to reduce
the Interest rate from 4 1-2 to 4 per
rent, but House approval of this could
he quickly obtained, they believe.
Meanwhile, they held the Senate In
session tonight in an effort to get fin
al acticn on some of the six pending
appropriation bills.
MTN7 UtMIMi
The debate was interspersed with
discussion of added drought relief pro
posals, and enlivened later by a one
man filibuster started by Senator Hu
go L. Black, Democrat, Alabama, in
an effort to force action on Muscle
Shoals legislation. v
Senator Reetf eUM he wanted to
iropose some "torse-sense" amend
ments to make tife^Jtlan workable.
.But the group led t)y Senators Couz
ens, Republican, Michigan, ' manifest
ed Impatience and made plans for
passage in unaltered, form to jiave
further delay.
Secretary Mellen and other Treas
ury officials tamorroW^KIl state again
the Treasury's case' tb the Senate
finance committee in a short hearing
on the bill.
Chairman Smoot promised on the
Senate floor that the bill would be
brought out for Senate action to
morrow. Under the rules, such cir
cumstances require that the bill be
held over for a day before being taken
up. But the bill's supporters expect
to ? be able to suspend the rules and
take It Op at once, insuring passage
by Thursday at the latest.

NEW POLITICAL
CRISIS IN SPAIN
Madrid, Feb. 17. ? As King Alfonso
strove today to give Spain a respon
sible government all indications were
that a new military ' dictatorship
would be set pp.
Long range gans were traiMt
ominously on the elty and macltfne
guns had been placed strategically In
preparation for any' eventuality. Per
sistent reports gained credence tbtkl
General Leopoldo Saro, former chief
of the king's palace guards, would b*
the new dictator,
Censorship was established agata
tonight.
Madrid, Fteb. 17. ? A military move
ment, apparently Intended to attempt
tbe establishment ot a military dic
tatorship, began late this afternoon.
Two artillery units ? near Madrid
'mounted long range guns and train
ed them upon the capital. Civil
guards were being mobilized through
nut the city this afternoon. '
Machine guns were placed at all
strategic points and troops were held
in their barracks In readiness for ac
tion If It should become necessary.
Madrid, Feb. 17. ? A new political
crisis, in which loomed the threat of
.1 military dictatorship, was thrust
upon Spain today at noon with fail
ure of Jose Antonio Sanchez Guerra
to form a government on a basis of
liberal constitutional devislon.
Sanchez Guerra, designated by King
Alfonso yesterday to get together a
(ablnet, went to the palace at noon
today and informed the King that he
l ad been unable to secure the colla
boration of the Republicans and So
c.alists, radical left groups, and
v/ould have to renounce his task.
He advised the King to call upon
Melqulades Alvarez, another advocate
of constitutional revision to limit the
powers of the throne and leather of
the "reformist" group of the Spanish
conservative party. Alvarez, if any
thing, would be regarded as more
radical than Sanchez Guerra, whoiae
designation by the King yesterday
was regarded by monarchists as a
surrender to the extremists.
The development, which came with
sstonishing suddeness, threw the
political situation Into the utmost
confusion and made developments ex
tremely uncertain.
A large military ellque Is extreme
ly dissatisfied with yesterday's
events, which they consider consti
tutes an unnecessary surrender . by
the King of Royal perrogatlve, and
it was within the rounds of possibil
ity today that some section of tbe
group would attempt a coup d'etat
to reestablish a dictatorship similar
to that ot the late General Primo de
Rivera.
Sanchez Guerra failed to get to
gether a cabinet on what probably
v/as the most liberal program a pre
mier designate has advanced sincg
the days of the Spanish republic In
the early seventies. -
Before accepting the King's invi
tation to head a new government to
replace that of General Damaso Ber
enguer which resigned Saturday, he
exacted a promise from the King to
call a constitutional convention which
would rewrite the constitution of
1876 and declde'what form the future
Spanish government was to take. *
