BONUS AT LAST

Washington, May 10. The Treasury Department has completed the machinery for distribution of $2,491,000,000 in cash and bonds to some 3,000,000 ex-service men during the last half of June.

Delivery of the bonds and cheeks will begin on June 15 by registered mail and will continuo as rapidly as bonus claims can be checked, approved and the bonds and checks made out.

Shipments of adjusted service bonds are now going forward to Federal Reserve Banks from the Treasury Department, acting Secretary Wayne C. Taylor, said.

"Payment will be made to veterans by the Federal Reserve banks of their i

districts.

The

responds will be made out in de- nominations of $50. Veterans' claims will be paid with these bonds

Hundreds of thousands of cinima for soldier's bonus already have been received and checked by the veterans Administration, and more are flowing into Washington with every mail.

The Treasury Department explained that vouchers listing payments to be made will go first to the various Treasury disbursing offices where in each case a check will be written for the amount by which the payment ex- ceeds an oven multiple of $50.

The lists then will be delivered to the federal reserve bank, or in case of the Washington, D. C. lists, to the division of loans and currency of the public debt service, where the neces- sary number of Veterans' bonds, ench in the denomination of $50, will be nrade out in the name of the veteran. For instance, a veteran having an approved claim of $600.83 will celve a check for $40.93 and 13 the $50 bonds,--United Press.

I had been held as a material witness, so I got a cheque for 125dols-my thirty pieces of silver. I couldn't see myself as Judas so I never cashed it. Two days after my release I ran into my ex-jail friends and became a criminal.

After eight months I was ar rested, but was not convicted. A few weeks later, instead of climb-- ing out of a window of a chemist's shop which I had robbed, I was shot out with bullets in the shoulder, spine, and knee.

They were sure I would dio. I was glad, but the cop who'd shot me cried. After months in hos- pital, the jailer-nurse let me try and I found I could drive a car.
