DR. TOWNSEND
 WORKING FOR OLD AGE PLAN
Pension for All Over 60 Is Scheme Opposition
 Is Expected

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-Dr. Fran cis Everett Townsend. Californian, who believes prosperity will return with the adoption of his old age pension plan, is here in the inter est of the scheme. He says he has already fifteen million signatures to the plan.
 The plans offer $200 a month to everyone over 50 years of age who will agree to spend the money within the month. The plan is to be financed by two percent sales tax.
 pr. Townsend contends the re- volving pension plan is neither So- cialistic nor Radical, merely good business.
 In Washington, William Green, President of the American Fedora ton of Labor, called the plan eco nomically impossible.
 The Administration. while taking no stand on the plan. apparently is unfriendly toward it.
 Dr. Townsend recently opened of fees in Washington to work for. the enactment of his old age pen- sion.

POLICE WONDER IF SALARY WAS
 RAISED BY CITY
Council Boosts Pay Last Night, But Mayor Says
 Isn t Legal

City Police Department members, today, are pondering this question: Did we, or did we not, get raise in pay last night?"
 The City Council said, to the tune of an unanimously passed res- olution, that Juneau's finest" had, indeed, a raise in salary. But May or Isadore Goldstein, toting the Compiled Laws of Alaska" and quoting freely therefrom, said to- day that there most certainly is no pay boost for the policemen.
 The discussion was one of the features of busy Council meeting held last night in City Hall. The other important feature, the tax exemption question between the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com pany and the City of Juneau, is treated separately in another ar- ticle in this issue of The Empire.
 Debate Started
 Mayor Goldstein started the whole pay debate when, near the end of the session, he suggested that it would be nice if the Police Department should be uniformed. The question, which immediately followed, was, "Who will pay the tailor bills?"
 So Councilman William J. Beck moved that the salary of all the officers be raised ten per cent, but that they be required to purchase their own uniforms.
 The Mayor didn't like that. In fact, he said it wasn't even legal.
 But, the Council thought other wise, and Reck's motion was passed unanimously. The motion called for the following monthly salaries: Po- lice Chief, $220; Assistant Police Chief, SITS; Patrolmen, $165.
 Mayor Objects
 BUT-the police in their pleasure over the raise, figured without Mayor Goldstein. For the Mayor got busy the first thing this morn ing and discovered, in the Com piled Laws of Alaska" that city salaries cannot be raised or low cred during the term of a City Council. Mayor Goldstein said that such salary changes must be made at the first meeting of the new Council. The next new" Council will not meet here until April, 1935.
 Mayor Goldstein did not know what action he would take when the vouchers, with the raised pay, are presented to him for his sig
