PLAN OkAYED
BY GOVERNOR
Merriam Announces He Will
Support Old Age Pension Pro-
gram As Entirely Workable

SAN FRANCISCO, March 5. (U.P,
The Townsend old age pension
plan, providing 5000 monthly to all
persons over so including Henry
Ford and John D. Rockefeller, gain
ed new impetus today from the un-
qualified endorsement given it by
Governor Frank F.. Merriam.
In a statewide address last night
the governor held up the plan OF
DR.. Francis Everett Townsend OF
Long Beach. Calf, as an ideal one
for providing old age relief.
Merriam advocated nsstional
adoption of the plan of his fellow
townsman. He said further that he
would recommend that the state
legislature adopt resolutions calling
upon congress to approve the basic
principles of the Townsend plan in
any form to be formulated by the
federal government"
The governor considered as mad
equate the California old age pen
sion system, which limits the maxi
mum payment to $40 month. He
pointed out that no provision has
been made to increase the payments
through furnishing additional funds
i'll the next biennium.
In asking that the state legislature
call upon congress to enact the ba-
sic principles of the Californian's
program, the governor said:
Whatever the immediate out
come may be, 1t Is certain that an
aroused public opinion will demand
enactment of federal and state leg
islation adequately meeting the
problem which DR.. Townsend has
undertaken to solve.
Will Call Extra Session
"If the national congress should
approve a satisfactory old age pen
sion plan after the California legiS-
lature adjourns, I shall favorably
entertain the possibility of calling a
special session of the senate and
the assembly to act upon the mat
ter =.
Recalling that the legislature al
ready had petitioned congress to
scrutinize the Townsend system In
studying the old age pension prob
lem, Merriam said of the plan it.
self:
"There are merits in such a pro-
gram which must be recognized and
which must be incorporated in a
national old-age pension policy.
81 have seen no specific proposals
for old age relief which, in their
basic principles, are as workable as
the Townsend plan. Granting that
certain notifications and adjust
ments in the plan may De found
advisable, DR.. Townsend's recon-
mendations have my approval and
will continue to have my support.
ANY old age pension plan, If ef-
fective, must provide the individual
with an income sufficient to main
tain him or her in decency and COM
fort.
"As l see 1t, wholly aside from
other aspects of his program, DR..
Townsend has suggested the only
workable basis for financing old age
relief"

STRANGE COMA
GRIPS NURSE

PASADENA, March 5. U.H-In
the hospital where she is night
nurse, Miss Verna Hixon, 80, tossed
today in the seventh day of a rare
coma that baffled physicians.
Miss Hixon was overcome by car
bon rnonoxide gas last Tuesday but
the skill of DR.. John F.. Brereton,
superintendent of the Altadena hos
pital, where she Is nurse, apparently
had counteracted the poisonous
fumes.
Or. Brereton, after working con-
stantly over the nurse for two days,
rested, and waited for his patient
to regain consciousness. But Miss
Hixon slept on.
Unavailingly the physician tried
every means to revive her. Her
breathing was normal, and she look
ed the picture of health, but she
could not be reused.
Since then she has been fed at
intervals by intrayenal injections
and for five minutes every hour
an inhalator rests her lungs. There
is nothing more he can do, Dr.
Brereton said.
He fears her nerve centers were
damaged by the gas during the
several days she was unconscious
The condition, known as "disin-
tegration of the nerve cells,' Is
rare, he said, and one for which
only nature has the cure.

RADIO PRIEST
AND LONG HIT
BY JOHNSON
Former NRA Chief Violently
Condemns Political Activities
Of Two 'Catalines'

NEW YORK, March 5. (U.P)-Gen.
Hugh S. johnson stood his ground
today, awaiting a storm of protest
over his denunciation of Sen. Huey
p. Long (Dem), Alabama, and the
Rev. Charles E. Coughlin as preach
ers of destruction"
The blunt-spoken general was as
forceful as ever in his aggressive at
tack on the two men last night. The
radio priest was bad fish in the
net of the Holy church." and Long
was a plausible PunchinelAo" to
Johnson.
Stripped to the facts" he said,
land whether consciously or not,
these two men are raging up and
down this land preaching not con-
struction, but. destruction; not re-
form, but revolution; not peace, but
a sword. I think we are dealing with
couple of Catalines and that it is
high time for somebody to say So"
Johnson viewed Father Coughin
and the Louisiana "kingfish" as
leaders of an emotional fringe -
He called them two pied pipers."
"Hitler couldn't hold a candle to
Huey in the art of the old Barnum
ballyhoo," johnson declared. I'VE
expect politics to mike strange bed
fellows, but if Father Coughlin
wants TO engage in political bund-
ling with Huey Long, it is only a
fair first move to take off his Ro-
man cassock."
Infers At Motive
Johnson attempted TO connect
Father Coughlin's campaign for sill
yer legislation with his private cor
poration, the Radio League of the
Little Flower" Then he added:
"I don't question the right of any
man to invest money as he will, but
when a priest, vowed to poverty and
bleaching to the poor, plays with
the faith of people to advance a
monetary interest, you can conclude
that Judas Iscariot was just poor
piker He sold out the hope of the
world for 80 pieces of silver, when
today he might have bartered for
$4,000 ounces on so small a thing as
abuse of the trust of a national
congregation"
johnson express d confidence
that his friends in the priesthood
will bear me out when I say I
think we have here a prostitution
of their holy office, a violation of
vows and degradation of the teach
ings of Jesus Christ"
Johnson spoke at dinner given
by editors of Red Book magazine.
