Taylor, D. of Colo., and acting House majority leader for the 74th Congress created a furror on the Hill when he advocated a currency inflation method of paying off the soldiers bonus.

These two decisions of the veteran threaten to disrupt House Democratic ranks even before the opening of the new session next month. Rep. Raylor is the dean of all Western Congressmen.
