THE TOWNSEND PLAN IN A FADE-OUT

The admission by Dr. F. E. Townsend himself that his pension plan of $200 month could be applied at first only to those who 75 older is terrific blow to this Uto plan scheme Dr ToWnsends admission made before a House committee after economist he had offered wit support of the pension idea had testified that the pro- posed percent transaction tax would yield only billion dollars year. and put up living costs nearly II percent at that
 Dr. Townsend in selfdefense, says he hasn't deceived anybody Perhaps not deliberately consciously. But both Dr. Townsend and the agtaors for his fantastic program have said repeatedly that would apply to all who 60 above who met certain simple requirements It has been said from the that that limit soon would lowered and those several years under 50 brought within the magic realm of benefits It has been promised and with out qualification tire that percent all bus- ness money transactions would yield 200 billion year. with everenargng the plan got its stride and gained powerful and inevitable momentum
 The number of persons in the country who are 75 or older is exceedingly small On the basis of billions in venue-and nobody knows how many years would have remain that figure go lowerconSideraby less than a million persons could receive payments. Yet to provide for them according to testimony submitted in behalf of the Townsend scheme would be to compel everybody in the country pay 106 percent for food clothing and other necessities and to double the ordinary costs of the tire Federal government.
 in time of stress and especially the aged who in genu need of pensions, will find it profitable to look to sane security plan such is offered in the administration program The Townsend program stands condemned by it's own sponsors-Kansas City Times.

PENDANTS are not on bail, it was
decided today to place a third

maintained on a current status
with trials of defendants avail
able within a week after indict-

which have required more than
the usual time. Included were
the Beard trial, the Pennsylvania
railroad trial, and several MUIR
der cases, which put the calendar
somewhat behind.
Justice F.. Dickinson Let's will
sit as a third criminal court
judge during the remainder Of
the month, beginning Monday, it
was announced today, to insure
a cleanup of Jail cases before

pitching to get us away in good
style" is Bucky's comment.
"whitehill in his seven innings yes
terday certainly looked as if he is ready
70 pitch as he did two years ago when
he was the best of the pitchers that
got Washington pennant. Burke, I
am sure. will look better than ever
before. And he has looked pretty good
in other seasons. Weaver, Russell and
Coppola are in trim to give us lot
of pitching There are others, too. to
ne depended upon.
Outside the pitching there never
has been anything to worry about on
this ball club" the manager pointed
out. There has been some sloppy
fielding in the games here. But there
has been some excuse for it. The re-
cent rains left the field in Griffith
Stadium in very poor condition. 1
think the club has been somewhat
lucky to put up the defensive game it
has. I know what it can do on a
good field. That's all am concerned
about.
Hitting was not so good while we
we're on the road. But we have hit
effectively here, even though we have
won but one of the two games. I'm
satisfied the club has punch and I am
satisfied it will prove it when we begin
playing the games that count in the
American League race.
This is ball club in good enough
condition to enter the season, all re-
ports to the contrary Harris insisted.
we won't have to wait until May to
he ready to show how good We are.
Well be ready when the season starts.
You can lay your dough on the line
about that should anybody want to
argue the question.
Washington has well-rounded
oall club, ball club I'm proud to lead
into the season." said Harris. And
I'm quite confident it will play that
way, too."
