WASHINGTON. May 27. Not all
th lobbying on the bonus was done
by the veterans. The administration
Itself aubtly
psrlmented wlttt
ome new modes
of bringing pres
ume to bear on
congress In sup
port of the presi
dent's veto. It
did a very ef
fective Job.
Of course every
one knew that
Postmaster Gen
eral Farley, the
patronage poten
tate, was In the
Mill. MALl.ON
Democratic cloakroom of the senate
buttonholing wayward Democrats.
What no one saw was the master
minding of one Mr. Charles Michel
on. the Democratic publicity thinker
who Is supposed to have thought
Mr. Hoover out of the White House.
Mr. Mlchelson acted in .this case as
a confidential agent to offset the
pro-bonus publicity activities of the
American Legion and V. P. W.
One of Mr. Mlchelson's delicate
Bks was to bring pressure on a
prominent Industrial lobbying or
ganization to support the president
in response to this pressure. It came
out with a last-minute atatement
urging manufacturers to wire con
gressmen In the Coughlln manner to
sustain the presidential veto.
Mr. Mlchelson also Is being cred
ited by his envious publicity breth
ren here with having been Instru
mental In keeping the labor lobbies
out of the fray. One labor leader had
to espouse the bonus cause because
DO.OOO of his miners had been in the
wnr. but the other established labor
leaders remained silent.
Such ttictlcs are common to all
lobbies, but this Is the first time
the government Indulged in fighting
tire builders with their own fires.
The common gossip story of the
reason for the bonus defeat is the
one that the American Legion really
did not want the Patman bill be
cause it was originated by a rival
organization, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
This Is one of those half-truths
which people will Insist on believ
ing, but the facts do not entirely
substantiate It. For one thing. 3TU
congressmen voted for the Patman
bill and 138 against (counting botn
the house and senate). The "tors"
Included all the Legion votes. Fur-
thermore. the Legion could not Pos"
ihJp have chanced the result if US
lobbyists hsd broken their backs.
Yet It is true, as every insider
knows, that Legion headquarters Is
not wearing mourning because of
defeat of the bill. Also senators
realired that the Legion organiza
tion would not hang them in effigy
for defeating the measure.
A fair statement would be tnat
the Legion accepted its earlier de
frat in good grace, worked for the
hill of Its rival on the final vote,
hut. Is not displeased at the result.
A Democratic leader In the senate
told friends before the bonus vote:
"We will sustain the veto easily, but
for heaven's sake, don't tell any
K,Hr n. f hv. want to vote
for "the bonus, and he will If ne
finds out that the president doesn't
need him."

The whole NRA code structure, under

The new deal began at once to work

Matney admitted the parsing of
two forged checks while on parole
