SETTLEMENT ENDS 16 YEAR-OLD ARGUMENT I White House Urges Veterans To- Hold Bonds *For “Nest Eggs” Without any appropriation for such purposes the United States Senate overrode Presi dent Franklin D. RooseveP’s veto and on Monday ordered immediate payment of the $2, 491,000,000 bonus for vetera is of the World War. With no in timation of disappointment or chagrin over the Senate’s set tlement of the ■ 16-year-old bon us problem, and no hint of new taxes to take care of the huge sum, the President immediately began plans for payment. v eierans win De paia in Da ily bonds of $50.00 each and cash for odd amounts. The 3onds will be non-transferable jut cashable at any local post jffice after June 15. The bond* also may be held for three per cent annual simple interest un til June ,15, 1945. No interest will be paid if the bonds are cashed the first year. Although termed a “danger ously expensive measure”, and bearing the opposition of the President on the same ground* of his veto last year, which ia substance stated there was n» money, the Senate, by a conclu sive majority, settled the bonus rdaflguid- for once and for hTt. Shortly after the decision the Treasury noted that the meas ure /vould increase next year’s deficit to $5,500,000,000, and warned that it would not “help the bond market.” Con gress made no move toward raising the money, perhaps re membering that election year is no time to sponsor levy mea sures, and left the Treasury the matter of raising the necessary money.
