ACTION IS WITHHELD Democrats Will Not Offer a Change to - Measure for Fear of Hurting Success : of Bonus Bill. (Associated Press leased Wire. ) WASHINGTON. April 18. On the basis of reports that President Coolldge probably would approve the pending Insurance bonus bill, some democratic senatel leaders are considering the advisability of with holding their proposal for Incorpora tion in the measure of a full cash payment option. Reports of th president's attitude were received through .American Legion officials, democratic senators said, with the word that Inclusion of a full cash payment option requiring an Im mediate government bond Ibsiio would endanger the prospects of the bill becoming law. Not more than a week Is expected to be consumed In consideration of the bonus bill with the Issue drawn between proposals for the Insur ance proposal passed by the bouse and by the senate flnnnre commit tee and a combination bill, includ ing provision for full cash pay ments as an alternative of the In surance. Passage of a bill by a large ninjorlty regardless of the out come of this contest Is generally predicted. Democrats are the principal pro r.onentw of the cash payment option proposal, while the Insurance plan with a provHIon for cash payment? to veterans nit entitled to more than S50 In- ndjurtcd servlo credit has the supporc nf most republicans.

April 18 Refusal to accept, on behalf of the democratic party, any share of responsibility for the oil scandal featurod an address here today by William G. McAdoo, aspirant to the democratic nomination for pros! dent. "The scandal Is exclusively repub lican," he declared, "because It Is officials of the Hardlng-Coolldge ad ministration and no others, who have betrayed their publls trusts. Any other claim Is a transparent devlco to divert attention from tbe real criminals." The Teapot Dome and California naval oil lands were preserved in their entirety by the Woodrow Wil son administration and turnod ov er to tho Hardlng-Coolide admin istration, clean, clear and unencum bered, he continued. "The public Interest was scrupu lously and faithfully protected."

Of prohibition enforcement he de clared that "one of the cblot rea sons for this corruption is tho fact thut men are bolng appointed for political reasons to positions on the prohibition Inspection force, when they should have been appointed on ly for character and fidelity to tbe public Interests. He said tho govornment "must be cleaned out" and added "repub lican leadership can not be en trusted to clean it. It has been tried and found wanting In capacity and honeaty.

Recall of Ambassador Hanlhara is not con templated by the Japanese govern ment, at least for the present. Pre mier Kyoura told American corres pondents today following a meeting of the cabinet. Hanthara's note, containing the much discussed "grave conse quences" phrased, was misconstru ed in America, the premier declar ed. "Close study ot the text of tbe Ambassador's letter," he explained "would convince anyone that It does not lend Itself to an Interpretation as a threat or express any desire to interfere In American domestic- at fairs. Fortunately tbe majority of American newspapers appeur to un derstand this and tbelr comments are sympathetic to Japan which la comfortiug to the ministry." Realixlug the seriousness ot tbe situation, tbe premier asserted, the government has decided to main tain a conciliatory attitude and to do Its utmost to brln about a sat isfactory 'solution of the immigra tion problem. - Tbe Japanese exclusion clause has been pasaed by bath bouses," be said "but it lacks tbe president's signa ture, which at least is doubtful.

"And yet under It. freight i and passenger rates bave been high er and morn burdensome than ever before In the history of the nation.
