Senator Thomas (D., Okla.) planned to ask for an Immediate vote In tho senate when the bill reached there from tho house. Thi-3 would require unanimous consent to disnense with the usual procedure of referring the bill to a committee out leaaers mqicaica inoy would accept the suggestion. A single, objection, however, would require the bill to be sent to the senate finance committee for study. WASHINGTON, June 15 (JP) In an effort to speed action on legisla tion to pay war veterans $2,400,000, 000 on their soldiers' bonus certifi cates, the house today agreed to ter - ininate further debate and proceed at once to consideration of proposed amendments. : The request to dlspcnso with the remaining two hours general debate was mads by Representative Ragon (D., Ark.) an advocate of the bill. Ragon said ho thought It fitting that since Representative Esllck (D., Tcnn.) died in the rnidst of the dis cussion yesterday (that all debate should be ended with his remarks. Passage of the legislation withjn a few hours was predicted. It was agreed on both sides that more debate would not change a voto. Representative Crisp (D.. Ga,). said "we all know the bill Is going to pass and I believe, therefore, it should pass a soon as possible." The galleries were filled with a host of veterans from the bonus en campment.

Heavy Loss Hits Klamath Falls As Grain Is Flooded KLAMATH FALLS, June 16 (ZD Hope for keeping flood waters from an additional 5600 acres of Tulc lake grain land was virtually gone today, with tho probability that strong af ternoon winds would whip tho water into waves and sweep out tho re maining barrier. Such a wind late yesterday broke down the -last dike protecting Cox Brothers land and 400 additional acres were inundated. This allowed the water to move against an old dike, the weakest one on the south side of tho Tule lake ump, where it was halted temporarily. Secpoge from tho flood areas have already undermined this structure and although workmen arc struggling desperately to strengthen the dike, tt appears .unlikely that It can hold back the waters. This water Is com ing from the sump, a reservoir of Irrigation drainage and what Is left of Tule lake. By reason of the new break late yesterday, tho water out side of the sump has receded to a lower level than that In the sump, giving the flow from the sump a greater pressure. In addition to a heavy cash loss In grain crops, the flood damage may have a serious effect on the supply of stock feed in the Tule lake area next winter. In the past winter this rich area provided feed ing grounds for thousands of head of cattle from California, Lake, Des chutes counties in Oregon.
