They wish also to do some things
themselves. Mrs. Lindbergh has her

born in 1882"
The number of threats against the
Lindberghs has increased since the
trial of Hauptmann which lodged him
in the death house at Trenton, N. j..
prison, said the Times.
The United States Supreme Courts
decision not to review the Hauptmann
case brought a fresh flood of threat
ening letters. the Times declared.
Such threats grew when Gov. Hoff-
man entered the Hauptmann case by
visiting the condemned man in his
cell in the prison death house, the
paper said.
An incident which was aScribed to
several men who crowded an auto
mobile carrying young Jon home
from school resulted in the with
drawal of the boy from nursery, the
paper said.
Not long ago as Jon was being
taken by automobile from his school
to his home, large car containing
several men came close alongside and
crowded the car containing the lad
to the curb, forcing it to STOP" the
Times asserted.
Men jumped down. A teacher &C
companying the boy clutched him
tightly. Suddenly cameras were
thrust into the child's face and clicked
Then the visitors jumped into their
machine and sped away, leaving a
badly frightened teacher and little
boy.

Greif and despair we're written In the
faces of those who, stood in the snow

nation of the loss of relatives and
friends in the Appamattox River bus
tragedy.
One man, carrying a child in his
arms, paused to glance at one OF the
coffin shaped wicker hampers placed
on the bridge to receive the bodies.
without a word he turned away and
left.
For a few there was joy. These were
the relatives and friends OF several
persons who were found not to have
been passengers aboard the bus In
spite of previous plans to ride in 1t.
Francis Dupont Lazenby, 10, a stu
dent at the University Of Virginia,
had notified his parents he would ar
rive on the doomed bus. Several hours
after the tragedy his nearly frantic
mother met him at the door OF their
home. He had been late at the ter
minal and had taken later bus.
Loren Burrows, son of Raymond S.
Burrows, manager of the Hopewell
plant of the Tubize Chattilon Corp,
had notified his father he would re-
turn to Hopewell from New York.
Tonight Burrows. who earlier had eX-
pressed grave concern for his sons
safety, received word from Loren. He
had changed his mind about his visit
home, the message from New York
said.

Things to Buy
On $500 Dole

WASHINGTON. Feb. l6-lP-A
gray haired California doctor tried
"a convince the senate finance COM
mittee Saturday that $500 monthly
pensions for all over 80 was a
simple expedient" Tor meeting the
nations economic troubles. but the
committee found II not so simple
DR.. r. z. Townsend. author OF the
Townsend pension plan, was sub
lected to a sarcastic some times
humorous cross examination by
committee members. But he stood
his ground, contending his plan
would probably double the volume
OF business = bring an era OF
plenty.
AS Townsend explained that his
plan called for each person TO spend
his $500 for commodities or services
each month, Chairman Harrison
asked.
Would shooting craps with half
a dozen other fellows be s~erviceS?"
"Oh now Townsend replied,
somewhat taken back.
But buying the dice would be a
commodity?" Senator Barley ID
KY suggested.
YES. the doctor agreed.
What are YOU going 70 do with
the white collar man on a fixed
! salary Harrison asked.
I Enhance his ability 70 buy. by
%increasicg his pay.
Harrison said that with 10. 900
or more aged. the plan would cost
$4,000 900 600 a year. But a two
percent tax would raise only five
million dollars leaving a deficit OF
$l9.O00. 100000 4 year.
Yes Townsend said. but We
viii not be abe to put 100000 on
the pension Immediately. II took
two years 70 get 100000 e into
the army. We would have to exam
Inc each citizen for his citizenship
and ace as we examined applicants
Tor the army
Would we nave much trouble
drafting people TO take this PEN
sion?" Senator Connally D-Tex)
asked SarcaStically.
"Oh. now Townsend said.
We'll YOU we're comparing 1t to
raising an army" the Texan SAID.
Doctor. do YOU believe this Is a
sound economic plan?" Barley
asked.
Il know 1t is the Townsend re-
piled firmly.
Would the plan increase the
cost OF a Ford carp" Harrison asked.
NO. 1t would decrease the cost"
Though there would be a two
percent tax on every part?" Har-
riSon asked.
What would these people buy
with $500 a month";" Senator Bark
ley asked.
why bless your soul" the doctor
replied. Il should think anyone who
had eve had that salary would
know"
How would they spend it?"
Barley asked again, pointing out
that an old couple would get $4,000
