There's a new Third Party
movement looming up to compli-
cate the political situation in the
Presidential election year of 1886,
1t is big enough, and has enough
votes behind it, distributed all over
the United States, to make the sea-
soned politicians of both major par
ties sit up and take notice.
This is the Townsend Plan
Party.
Washington regards the an
nouncement by DR.. Townsend that
he will put a third party ticket If
the field, unless the Democrats OF
the Republicans satisfy him and hi
followers, as the biggest politica
news since the death of Huey Long
and the consequent collapse of tht
Louisiana Senator's third party
threat. 1t is big news, and some
thing to be taken seriously, for two
major reasons.
/. Neither the Democrats MOI
the Republicans can satisfy DIR
Townsend and his followers.
2. As every fresh arrival ii
Washington testifies, if he has KEEP
his ear to the ground while bach
home, The Townsend Old Age Pen
sion plan has enrolled literally mil
lions of voters in its thousands Of
Townsend Clubs, all pledged tt
work and vote for 5000 a month
pensions for every man and woman
over 80 years old.

Reveals Sons Hideout
On Promise OF Photo

Columbia, S. c. Martha Greer
and her boy, Booker Washington,
are going to have their pictures in
the paper.
Sheriff T Alex Heise of Richland
county told the Eastover negro SO,
and she believed him.
So much so, that she told him
where 33year-old Booker was hiding
to avoid a charge of murder.
Heise said she revealed the hide
out upon condition that her photo
graph and that of her son be pub
lished in the newspapers.
When officers acceded to the
mothers novel request, the son was
found and gave himself up without
resistance.
The mother accompanied the ar
resting officers to the Richland Jail,
where she and her son were photo
graphed by the sheriff in several
poses.
''She even had me take a picture
of her praying for her son." Hei..
said.
The son was held to answer
charges of killing John W. Jones
with a table leg in an argument
December 5.
The Columbia Record announced
it would publish the pictures.

Serious Fire
At Faith Sun.
Fire Destroys Three Resi-

Fourth

A fire which broke u about .
o'clock Sunday morning destroyed
three homes and damaged a fourth
before local and Granite Quarry
citizens and the chemical trucl
from this city were able to chect
the flames.
1t is thought that the flames
which originated in the home Of

circuit in the wiring of the light,
on a Christmas tree. However
this was not definitely known.
The three homes burned were
those of Mr.. Jones, Mrs. Bob viii

Browns home was damaged.
Only one living room suite wa
recovered from the Jones home, ane
about half of the Williams furni.

all of Barger's furniture was re.
moved to a place Of safety.
The damage, which was practi.
cally covered by insurance, was es

over exhaustion, excitement ant
congestion from smoke caused
heart attack which resulted in hi
sudden death.

Anadarko, Okla.-The dreary
prospect of spending Christmas in
Jail was faced by Emma Willis, 49,
year-old farm girl who killed her
father because he would not let her
have a date with a farm boy neigh
Dor.
'I'm sorry about it if / am a
murderer, but I'm not sorry that
he's dead" the brunette high school
sophomore frankly told visitors.
She drew some comfort from the
support given her by her mother,
two brothers, and two sisters.

could have been as mean as he

WPA Limit
BUDGET DISCUSSED

Washington-Full responsibility
for caring for all needy unemploy-
ed beyond the 100000 on Federal
work-relief was placed squarely up
on local governments and private
charity Monday by President
Roosevelt.
The 900, 900 work-relief
fund, the President said at his press
conference, was calculated to take
care of only 100000 persons. He
said he had to stick to that limi-
t%ation, and that any other needy
persons, either employable or I'M
employable, must be cared for
locally.
His statement followed by a few
days a report from Harry L. Hop
kins, WPA chief, that the relief
situation had been affected lad
versely" by winter conditions, and
attributing the small decrease in
big-city relief rolls to the fact that
many nov were seeking aid for the
first time.
Responsibility for the unemploy-
ables already has been handed back
to the States. The Chief Executive
further expressed confidence that
the 100000 estimate of the ma
TONS needy and jobless employables
was an accurate one.
Asked about estimates that thera
were 11,000,0 600 unemployed in the
nation, the President answered by
asking for a definition of "unem-
~ployed."
He asserted a census of the~job-
less was impossible because of the
difficulty in finding such a defini-
ton.
Out of SO housing projects, the
President said in discussing this
last point, 4S were under contract
on the midi December deadline date
and SO per cent of the funds fol
other public works had been placed
under contract excluding those
projects held up by litigation Oh
other outside circumstances.
A question about how nearly
WPA came to taking carr of the
100000 employables on relief
started the Presidents discussion Of
the problem.
He pointed to the last report
showing the works-relief drive wa
only 10000 short of its goal.
Asked whether the public wa
justified in believing the Fedora
government was committed to tax
ing care Of all employables, Mr.
Roosevelt replied that it was a pre-
sumption to say the public had any
thought on the subject because he

Sport and Recovery.

Statisticians of the future, dealing
with the figures of the American ma
tional economy during the period of
what has come to be known as the great
depression of 1s2s-1s35, will find an
item Of exceptional interest in the
records Of the pugilistic encounter be-
tween Max Baer and Joe Louis in New
York tonight. Those records are not
at this writing complete, but they are
sufficiently set to indicate that new marks
will be made in public spending for the
privilege Of attending q boxing bout
between two men.
According to latest reports, the ca
pacity Of the arena In which the fight
will take place will be exhausted tonight.
Yesterday twenty thousand additional
seats were squeezed into the inclosure,
which ordinarily in base ball park,
and these were Immediately taken. The
present estimate is that at least $4,000
persons will be present tonight when
the fight begins, and that they will have
paid something like $500, 900 just to get
to and from the fight and to be enter
tanned while in New York, and probably
as much more for their tickets, not

De Wolf Hopper.

A public which mourns Will Rogers
will sorrow also for the passing of De
Wolf Hopper, genius in comedy whose
career is part Of the basic human fabric
of the American stage. Washington
knew both men well and appreciated
them for their undoubted gifts of mirth-
provoking wit and humor. But Hopper
probably was the greater artist of the
two and therefore may be expected to
have a more lasting influence upon the
art of the theater in the United States.
He spent fifty-seven years behind the
footlights and died in his motley, a
trooper to the last by grace of radio.
The impact of his effort, however, had
been registered upon the work of younger
men years before his own departure
from the scene, and the Immortality of
his methods and mannerisms thus is
assured.
But it may be doubted if any successor
ever will be competent to present Casey
at the Bat" as Hopper did it. That
one unquestioned classic American poem
is indelibly associated with his name.
