TOWNSEND PLAN
DOOM SOUNDED
BY COMMITTEE
Ways and Means Group to
Adopt Program as
Recommended.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The
Administrators social security bill
will be reported favorsbly by the
House WAYS and Means Committee
with little or no change in prin-
ciple but several changes in de-
tail. It was indicated today.
The committees attitude ap-
peared to doom that much publ
cized Townsend old-age pension
measure.
Members Of the committee were
agreed with the Administration bills
principles. including old-age PEN
sions, unemployment compensation,
child welfare work and public health
services. but we're not satified with
many methods Of putting the pro-
gram in effect, a United Press sur
vey showed.
Drastic Changes opposed
Indication that the Administra-
ton is agreeable to minor changes
was given by Frances Perkins, Sec
retarv of Labor, who said the bill is
tentative in form and wholly open
to amendment"
She answered with a loud and
emphatic mo- a question as to
whether it would not be considered
satisfactory if Congress should de-
eide to enact certain features of the
bill and not others.
Adoption of certain features of
the bill without the others would de-
strOy the main idea of the plan"
Miss Perkins said. That is, to Gre
ate a well-rounded social and eco
homie security plan"
Hopkins Raps Scheme
The Townsend plan was under Sc
we're attack.
"Cock-eyed" was the way Harry
Hopkins described it. Miss Perkins
was more polite, terming it "imprac-
teal"
Rep. John Stevens McGroarty 3D.,
CALI, congressional sponsor of the
Townsend bill. said IT'S beginning
to look now as if it may not get
through this session. However, after
the congressman go back home and
find out how the people feel about
it it will be sure to pass during the
next session"

Jane Smith was purely mythical per-

Stating that appraisers fees are too high, Judge Arthur F. Els in superior court today declared that judges of the state courts are mak- ing a definite effort to keep the re- ceivership costs way down. He made the statement in discussing the appointment of appraisers for the Waterbury Paper Go. and flat ly announced he would not appoint an attorney as an appraiser in the case.
 The announcement came as a surprise because it has been the custom in the local courts to name at least one attorney when ap- praisers have been appointed in receiverships here.
 Attorney Milton H. Meyers was confirmed as temporary receiver for the company and Saul Rhodes, general manager of the Waterbury Paper Go. and Herman Cohen, of the Dumochel Paper Go. were ap- pointed appraisers.
 Attorney Meyers suggested the name of a local attorney as one of the appraisers. Judge Els inquired the nature of the business the young man was engaged in. When informed he was an attorney, Judge Ells said, 1T will not ap- point an attorney. We are making 8 definite effort to keep the re- ceivership costs way down and ap- praisers fee have been too high"

The dtellists exchanged four shots at S6 paces in the Pare Des Princes Stadium, on the edge of the city. as the result of a dispute which arose from articles published in the Gringoire, of which Carbuccia is editor. Campinchi regarded the articles as an insult and challeng- ed. both men are Corsicans and hot blooded. Efforts of their seconds extending over days to reconcile them proved futile. The seconds included q former cabinet member and a former deputy.
 News of the duel leaked out and instead of holding it. at dawn, the contenders outwitted the curious by waiting until the unromAiitic hour of 9:30, when everybody thought 1t had been cancelled.
