S400 Million Veterans Bonus Bill Being Shuffled Around in Sacramento SACRAMENTO (F)—A plan to give California veterans a $400,000,000 chunk of cash is still pie in the sky today. The fat bonus proposal moved from one legislative committee to another last night. But the committee on constitutional amendments didn't recommend either approval or rejection as it sent the bill to the Ways and Means committee. Assemblyman William H. Rosenthal (D-Los Angeles), dropped the idea of financing his proposed bonus for veterans of World War II and the Korean fighting with a two-cent per pack cigarette tax. He suggested the 1953 legislation can figure out how to pay it if the measure gets out of Ways and Means committee, through both houses of the legislature and is approved by the voters at the 1952 election. The bonus action was just part of a bang, bang legislative day that also saw: 1. Assembly committee rejection of a bill to give California a fair employment practices commission. The same committee on government efficiency likewise killed a plan to study racial discrimination in employment. This plan had Governor Warren's backing. 2. A Senate committee postponed for another week today's scheduled hearing on the governor's bill to give the new state crime commission power to force appearance of witnesses. Chairman Harry Parkman (R-Millibrae) said some folks who want to be heard on the bill couldn't be here today. 3. Another setback for foes of pre-colored oleomargarine. The Senate stuck to its guns on this one, passing for the second time a bill permitting use of colored oleo in state institutions. Senator Hugh Donnelly (D-Turlock) forced reconsideration of the Senate's Monday approval of this bill. Rosenthal's bonus proposal would put a maximum of $500 into the pockets of foreign service veterans. Domestic service veterans would get a top of $250, while amputees, paraplegics and the permanently and totally disabled would get $500 yearly for life. Rosenthal told the committee he had thousands of letters from veterans supporting the bonus plan. "Some wanting more, some want less, but all wanting something," he said.

WASHINGTON (P)—Senator Smith (R-NJ) said at the Senate's MacArthur hearings today he had been told the Truman administration gave "the green light to Great Britain to recognize the Chinese communists." Smith asked Secretary of Defense Marshall whether that was true, and "did we imply we would go along with them?"
