For a time, the hearing was turned
away from the merits of the plan and
converted into an investigation of the

Townsend testified the organization
has collected about $4,000 and spent
around $45,00O and that he received
$50 a week.
Most of the questioning on the plan
itself revolved around its financing.

He argued that 4,5O0,000 Of the
