Details for the March tournaments are being worked out and will be announced soon. Exalted Ruler Gasell stated that as the several tournaments were outlined in the original announcement no further notice to the membership will be given. Lodge will meet at 7:30 next Thursday night.

Some estimates put the peak cost as high as $6,000,000,000 a year. President Truman's legislative lieutenants are somewhat doubtful about the outcome if the proposal ever reaches a roll-call. All Congressmen have a lot of veteran constituents, and might hesitate to go i on record by name against grant ing them additional benefits. Chairman Rankin (D-Miss) who ramrodded the bill through his veterans committee announces today he is going to bring it to the floor for a vote "at the earliest possible moment." Under a new rule, adopted at the beginning of this session, that would appear to be March 14. Unless but that's where the joker I comes in.

If the committee approved a pro-dural plan for the pension bill, and all 12 members of the rules committee sat tight and failed to call it up, apparently there would be nothing Rankin could do. Of course, one of the 12 might not stand hitched. A Republican or Southern Democratic member might yield to the lure of embarrassing the administration. Ans, no doubt, heavy pressure would be put on committee members from sources that want the bill passed.
