Hie County, The State, The Union VOLVMN Lxn. LOUIBBURO, N. CAROLINA, FRIDAY. fKHRUARY AO, 1081 (TEN PAGEH) 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.
