In that primary 'Mr. Franks lead Dr. Dial by 27 votes, his total being 431 votes against Dr. Dial's 404.

W4ashington, March 7.-The coin- 'proilise soldiers' b n ill, carrying a hank provision in place of the cash installmen t Iaymen t plan originally tProposed and once apjproved by the Hlouse, finally was agreed to today by i)nublican imeibers of the warva and ieans committe. It was inuroduced later in the House by Chairnian Ford- ney, who announced that It would not be called up until next GMonday, if then. Passage of the bill was predicted by Mr. Fordney. His opinion appeared to be shared by members of the House generally, some of whon said that on the final vote .party lines would disap- pear. There owas some speculadton In House lobbies and corridors as tot President 'Harding's views of the com- promise plan and also as to whether he would find occaston to ,express those views before the House voted. Chairman Fordney still declined to say whether lie had discussed the comtipromiso with the executive. At .the White House it was said that Mr. Harding had not studied it, and con- seluently had not formed an opinion of the -bank loan provision. He was represented, however, as maintaining the same position that he did (when he wrote Mr. Fordney on February 16, that the bonus either should be paid by'a sales tax or the legislation postponed. Some of the majority members of the committee believe hat since the new 'plan defers for three years any large drain on the federal treasury the -President will not object to it Theyosay the compromise will en- able needy veterans to obtain cash without the necessity of imiposing ad- ditional taxes on the general public. Mr. Fordney said lie entire ways and means committee would met on Saturday when the Democrats would have an opportunity to pass judgment on he bill. Aside from the substitution of the bank loan provision for the cash pay- nent plan, the bill as Introduced is very similar to that previously passed by the -louse. The only immediate cash payment proposed is to veterans whose adjusted service pay would not exceed $50. Other veterans could se- lect one of four options. OlHAS. F.
