VanNuys Takes
Stand Against
Townsend Plan

Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Frederick VanNuys will continue to
support the New Deal plan for old
age pensions and not the Town
sendites', he asserted today in an
Swering a QUESTIONABLE as to his
stand on the 5000 month pro-
poSal.
The Senator said: II am very
much interested in old-age pensions.
From most authentic sources, we
must conclude that there will be
several million employable out of a
job, even if we reach so-called normal
economic conditions. This is largely
due to chronological developments.
In my opinion old-age pensions are
mandatory in order to meet this
situation.
Il spent much time in consider
alton of the old-age pension plans
contained in the social security
legislation of the last Congress
While the relief to the aged, con-
tanned in that act, may not prove
to be adequate, yet it is beginning
in the right direction. / am willing
to use that legislation as basis for
arriving at an ultimate system
which will be fair and equitable to
the aged and yet actually sound.
Being convinced that we have
made the proper start, I shall spend
my time and efforts to perfecting
our present plans to the exclusion
Of all other proposals."

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
William f. Borah announced today
that he would welcome the help of
liberals toward the Republican
presidential nomination, but that he
would cooperate with any other
candidate who might be named if he
represented liberal viewpoint.
Mr.. Borah issued statement re-
garded as bid for liberal support
In regard to the presidential nomi-
nation he said that he was "infiexi-
BILE as to the objective, flexible as to
the tactics"
The Senator said he would not
permit personal matters to inter
fere with the main purpose.
My primary objective is con-
vention of liberal delegates which
will write liberal platform and
name liberal candidate" he said.
"Infiexible AS to Detectives"
'To that end 1 shall devote my
efforts. If in any state or district
the liberal forces think it will help
the liberal cause to pledge the dele
gates to me, shall cooperate fully
with that plan"
IF, however, it is thought better
to pledge the delegates to ne other
liberal, 1 shall cooperate just as
fully. In other words, inflexible as
to the detectives, flexible as to the
tactics.
las 1 see the political situation in
this country a man would be seek
ing political immolation to take a
nomination upon any other than a
liberal platform. So the first thing
to do is to get convention COM
mitted to liberal principles. So far
AS my efforts count, l am not going
to permit personal matters, either
my own or those of others, to inter
fere with the main purpose"
"AlI Right With Me"
Mr.. Borah's most fortnight dec
laration regarding his presidential
aspirations was statement, made to
two Wisconsin men yesterday, that
it would be ''all right with me" if
a Borah delegation were sent to the
Republican convention from Wis

the Borah candidacy is being pushed

All Parties Connected in
Stars Mystery Death
to Be QuizZed.

By United Press
HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 20.-Kidnap
threats against a witness in the in
vestigation of Thelma Todd's death
today caused authorities to station
police guard at the home of Alex
Hounie, maitre de hotel at the Troc-
adero night club.
Miss Todd attended a party at
the Trocadero a few hours before
she was found dead in an isolated
garage overlooking the Pacific
Ocean.
Hounie appeared at police head
quarters early today and appealed
for protection after receiving the
second threat.
Early yesterday, Hounie said, he
received a postcard through the mail
at the cafe which said:
wouldn't hold testimony for kid
nap trip
Threatened by Two Men
Puzzled by the message, Hounie
dismissed it as a joke and stuck the
card in his pocket. Late last night
when he was on his way home from
the cafe, large sedan forced his
car to the curb.
One of two men in the car
jumped out, stepped up to him,
Hounie said, looked at him and
growled:
you got your warning buddy.
Keep to it or you're going for a
ride"
He then returned to the sedan
and the two men drove off.
Hounie went to police headquar-
tiers to report the threats and was
assigned guard at his home.
Served Party at Club
Both the body of the postcard
message and the address were made
up of words clipped from newspa-
pers. 1t was addressed to "Alex,
head waiter, Trocadero, Hollywood"
Hounie served the Stanley Lupino
party last Saturday night, at which
Miss Todd was the honored guest. He
had been subpenaed to testify at the
coroner's inquest, but was not called
to the stand.
Nature of testimony Hounie might
give was not disclosed by police,
who termed it routine"
Authorities said Hounie as we'll
as every man and woman who knew
Miss Todd, talked to her, or saw
her from midnight, Dec. IA, to the
morning of Dec. Is when her body
was found at the wheel of her
automobile had been invited to a
police mystery party"
Seek Answers to Mystery
The party will be staged before
the county grand jury, which has
asked that everybody involved in
the death case be summoned next
Monday to tell what they know.
Police, in a haze as they waded
through piling tangle of conflict
ing evidence, hope the general as
sembly will repeal answers to the
following questions:
When did Thelma Todd die-early
in the morning of Dec. Is, or II to
20 hours later?
Was her death accidental, murder,
or did she commit suicide?
Who was the last person to see
her alive-Ernie Peters, chauffeur
who left her near the door of her
apartment before dawn, or a tall,
dark, foreign-looking man" reported
seen riding with her late Sunday
night?
