The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-10-31

~h~S@N@e@AA 1Oney of Meriden, democratic candidate for U. s. senator, is a greater believer, like Democratic National Chairman James A. Farley, in writing Iet- ters to preserve contacts that mean votes. Like the system of the national chairman, hOw- ever, the system of the can. didate is not infallible. For instance, the congressman sent a letetr to Howard w. Beach of New Haven, president of the Oyster Growers of North
 America in which he says you know my record" and "be sure to vote for me-" Me Beach in his capacity as presi- dent of the Oystermen's or. ganizatOfn has had occasion to write to Congressman MaIoncy, who represents the New Haven district on legislation in the house. But-Mr Beach is also the republican town chairman of New Haven. Therefore, it Is beleiyed that Congressman MalOney is out one letter and one postage stamp.

 A unit to back the TOwn- send plan of old age pensions will be formed tomorrow night in Manchester. The Townsend plan, originated by Dr Town send, a California physician, provides that workers who reach 60 years of age shall be paid $2OO, monthly, for life, the pension to be spent within the month of its payment, causing complete circula- tiOn of the money. No hoard- ing or saving would be allowed under the plan. To create the fund n federal sales tax would he levied, thus indirectly forcing each buyer to provide for his future. The govern ment would set up the first sum to start the pension going. Then, it is figured, after the first month the plan would finance itself as the money kept coming back to the fed- eral treasury in the form of sales taxes.
