llict bctwern Republicans and Dem
ocrats on soldier relief legislation
troke out in the house todav after
Chairman Good ot th appropriations
committee had warned members tha:
to put through a cash bonus plan
would "bilnx down the wrath of
106.000,00'J men. women and child
ren.
"The greate&t badge that the Am
erican soldier will wear." Represen
tative Good declared, "will be the
badge of sacrifice and not the badge
of a bonus."
The open fight over the legisla
tion started when Representative
Mondell of Wyoming. Republican
leader. In opposing "any wild en
terprises costing many millions.'
charged that the Democrats were at
tempting to .foist aa extravagant
plan on the Republican house for
political reasons."
The statement of the Republican
leader brought a quick response
from Representative Garner ot Tex
as, the Democratic whip, who at
tacked the Republican sales tax plan
for raising the needed revenues, de
claring th; Republicans were plan
ning "to place a tax on th backs
and bellies ot the people. Instead of
taking it from the pockets of those
best able to pay."
Another development In connec
tion with bonus ler station was the
calling by Representative Towner.
Iowa, secretary ot the Republican
caucus committee, of a party con
ference Thursday night to consider
this legislation. His action was In
resDonse to a demand from two
score Republican members, who
were said to be dissatisfied with the
