Asks Stepup In
Pension Outlay

SAN DIEGO. Oct. 28. U.P)-AIore
liberal application of the California
old age pension law as q means OF
furthering the Townsend plan was
urged today by Assemblyman Paul
Richie.
In a letter to Governor Frank T.
Merriam, Richie asked that spe-
cial session OF the legislature be
called to increase the present max
imum payment from s35 to $50
for each single or widowed person
and $40 each to man and wife.
"Inasmuch as you are reputed
to be an enthusiastic supporter OF
the Townsend plan" Richie wrote.
L point out that the old people Of
California who believe the Town
send plan to be politically possible
and economically sound could work
for its realization more effectively,
and with more courage, if the old age
security act of California were lib
eralized as herein suggested.

LEGION CHIEF
SCORES PROFIT
FROM WARFARE

JEFFERSON CITY. Mo, Oct. %
UP)-Ray Murphy, national com
mander of the American Legion,
in a speech here yesterday before
Missouri officers of the Legion, de-
clared that one of the main OBJ
iectiveS of the organizations an
nual program next year is to seek
passage of the universal service act.
This act is quite new to the Am
erican people but not to the Leg
ion." Murphy said. For more than
a decade we have been asking con-
gress to do something about un-
iyerSal service, to do something
about de-profitizing war. This act
would strengthen us in time OF
war but do much toward prevent
ing war because it removes the
incentive-profit.
The law simply requests that in
time of war the full strength of
capital. industry and manpower
shall be brought into the service
of the nation with special privilege
and profit for none"
lhe Legion program loI next
year also included. he said, pro-
lection of widows and orphans OF
war veterans, continuation of the
child welfare program, improve
ments in national defense, strict
enforcement of neutrality in other
nations quarrels, immediate pay
ment of the adjusted service cer-
tificates and a program of Ameri-
caniSm.
Murphy replied to critics who as
sert that as soon as the adjusted
service certificates are paid the
veterans will demand a general
pension.
THE American public has moth
ing to worry on this score he
said. for as far as this admins
tration of the Legion is concerned
there will be no demand for gen.

Los Angeles for the hearings.
Heald paused in his preparations
for departure this morning to de-
clare that large burden of respon
sibility for ultimate outcome of the
power controversy rests on the peo-
pie of the county.
Il will do all that is humanity pos
sible to protect the legal interests of
the county" he said, "but it seems
to me that the ultimate outcome of
this thing depends to large extent
On the people of Imperial county.
They should certainly be alive to the
situation. The value of the power
which will be generated on the All
American canal is beyond the power
of words to describe, the benefits will
be SO great. People of the county
should not allow themselves to be de-
prived of that asset"
The federal court hearing will
start at 10 a. m. Tuesday and prob
ably last all day, Heald said.
