Hy LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

New York, Dec. 23.-BOth old par
ties face a desperate year of side
stepping.
Neither party, of course, faces any
issue squarely. Party leaders always
have belief that it is unpopular to
face an issue squarely-in other
words. to say mo"
Thus neither party is likely to take
q stand against Townsendism. Each
party will sidcstep it in the most de-
vious of manners.
Sometimes that works, sometimes
it doesn't
The Rev. Charles E. Coughlin has
preached his money plan over the
radio for some years now 1t is be-
ginning to be the same speech over
and over again. Sidesteppng has
worked here. The Coughlin plan
doesn't seem to "takc" so well as the
Townsend plan. The Townsendites
probably won't be sidestcpped.
Nor will the bonusites take mo" for
an answer.
The SilveriteS, Of course. were first
to refuse a sidcstep answer.
Under the plea of economic rccOV-
cry, they put over their silver pur-
chasing act-upsetting economic COO
ditions in nearly the entire world.
TOWNSENDISM
The Townsenditcs may elect con-
gressmen and may defeat a presi-
dent.
Yet the men they put into office
are not likely to put through the
Townsend plan-even though they
have said "ycs."
Politicians are likely to espouse a.
cause to be reelected. Many will es-
pouse Townsendism. But very few
will be for it.
And what presidential possibility
would support it? Landon? Never.
Nor Knox, nor Vandenberg nor
Hoover, Nor would even Borah, in the
final test
SILVER
The United States government did
go into the silver-purchasing pro-
gram, put over by the silverties and
supported by Father Coughlin.
It is one of those bottomless pit
programs.

rency-was drained from that unfor-
tunate country. A business panic fol-
lowed there.

OPPOSED TO PENSIONS
by CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Dec. Ex-Governor Eu-
gene Talmadge of Georgia, a recent
visitor in Washington, talking with
the newspaper boys, gives first rate
impression at a casual meeting; 1t is
impossible to say, from half hour s
chat, how well he would wear.
One naturally compares him with
the late Senator Hucy =. Long, and
he is somewhat Of the Kingfish's type
though he doesn't look like the Louis
lana solOn in the least. He Is not as
volcanic as was Senator Long, either
He is forceful, but more restrained
than the senator was. when no
makes a strong statement 1t sounds
strong rather because of what he
says than because Of any particular
Vehemencc in his manner of saying it.
The Kingfish, if a diamond, decidedly
was in the rough. The governor has
a certain amount Of polish.
He said that he thinks he and the
senator were aiming at approximate
ly the same objective, but he agreed
that he could not indorse the latter's
are-the-wealth philosophy.

sendites in Governor Talmade's rea-

He was emphatic in his statement
that he believes in pensions for no
one except ex-soldiers. "No man." he
argued, "whO maybe, has bummed 81
round pool rooms until he is go, is en-
titled to be put on pension"
The nub of his platform, explained
the governor, is Jeffersonian Demo-
cracy, which, he was positive is as
serting, is the anithesis Of the New
Deal.
A third party?
The governor doesn't want one
What he wants, he made it clear, is
to reclaim the Democratic party.
He wants to beat President Roose-
welt for denomination. Obviously he
hates to face the contingency that the
White House tenant will be renomi-
mated, raising the issue, in his own
