SECRECY Wells
TOWNSEND
REPORT

International News Service
Rumors that the report OF the
special House investigating COM
mittee assailing methods Of the
Townsend old-age pension organi-
cation would be made public on
the eve of the election could not
be confirmed today.
The report of the committee
headed by Representative Bell CD
of Missouri appeared to have been
lost, st~ayed or stolen"
The House before Congress ad'
journed, gave the committee spe-
cial authority to make a report
to the speaker during the recess
so the public would have the
benefit of its investigation.
A report was drawn, said to
have been signed by six Of the
members, with Representative
Tolan CD of California, submit
ting a minority report and Repre-
sentative Collin (R0 of Califor-
mia refusing to sign.
The report reached Speaker
Bankhead at his home in Jasper,
Ala, but was returned to Bell for
revision weeks ago.
Clerk of the House South
Trimble, who usually makes public
reports, said he does not have it
and so far as he knows it will not
be made public until Congress
meets-January 3.
The political activities Of DR..
Francis E. Townsend, head Of the
old.age pension movement, have
caused many Democrats to de-
mand that the report be made
public.
The majority report is known
to contain a scathing attack on
DR.. Townsend'S methods, but
whether the public will learn
about it in the near future con-
tinued to be question.

Home Town Folk Welcome
Youth at Airport, Much

PLATTSBURG, Mo, April IA
Everybody in Plattsturg today went
out of his way to make things easy
for Lloyd Lewis.
Lloyd is okay and we're still
proud of him." everybody said, IF
he did anything wrong, he didn't
know it"
Lloyd, who in his Is years on the
farm never before got more than
so miles away from home, returned
today from New York, where he was
told that in winning Eddie Cantor's
peace essay contest he had COM
mitted strange offense called
plagiarism.
His essay on How Can America
Stay Out of War;" it appears, had
been written some time ago by DR..
Frank Kingdom, president of the
University of Newark.
That meant that the $4,000
scholarship Lloyd thought was his

Delegation GreetS Him
At the Kansas City airport when
Lloyd's plane arrived was a delega-
ton from Plattsburg-his history
teacher, the superintendent of
schools, and the man who runs the
cleaning shop.
AS he stood on the steps and
looked past newspaper photog-
raphers, Lloyd's eye caught that of
E. o. Hammond, the superintend-
ent.
A delighted smile broke over his
thin, farm-boy's face.
Gosh" he said, 81 didn't sup
pose anybody'd be here to meet
me-"
"Of course, we're here to meet
you, Lloyd" said the superinten-
dent. We're mighty proud of you"
"Have good trip, Lloyd?" asked
j. H. Baber, the cleaning shop man
whose son, Jones Baber, is school
mate of Lloyd's.

"but I'm sure glad to be back"

The young physician and his
teacher won a fight against the
germ and both were honored
throughout the world.
Ten billion bacilli might have
laughed today, for yesterday after
noon the earnest young physician
died, at IS, of gas gangrene, the re-
voting disease that he fought and
whipped As years ago. He was DR..
Harlow Brooks, one of the foremost
diagnostic physicians of the United
States. His collaboration of the
nineties, DR.. William H. WEIGH, died
several years ago. And even the
laboratory assistant who aided them
was made widow by the same ba-
cilli, for she became Mrs. Harlow
Brooks in 1899.
The germs that caused Dr. Brooks
death are known as Welch's Bacilli,
in honor of the senior of their dis
coverers. They are normally pres
ent in the ajority of human bodies,
but become potent only in a condi-
ton of bodily debility. DR.. Brooks
had been i'll of grippe and a liver
infection since Thursday, when he
returned from visit to a patient in
Miami.
His widow and his daughter,
Miss Ruth Brooks, were en- route,
when he died, to British Guiana,
where Miss Brooks had a commits
sion from the American Museum of
Natural History to model heads of
natives.
The gas gangrene that caused his
death is so-called because the ba-
cilli that cause it produce great
quantities of gas inside the body.
Before he and DR.. WEIGH isolated
the germ, it almost always was fatal.
1t still is one of the most danger
Gus of the ills OF mankind, as was
demonstrated recently by the con-
Germ of health authorities over its
appearance among persons injured

why we are not content, merely, to

This attack should include "a

would mean the consumption of
more goods and in turn increased
production would mean more en-
ployment.
He concluded his address with an
imprisoned plea to youth to hold
fast to your dreams" and have faith.
Have Faith in Dreams

years, to remember that millions of
older people have kept and propose

if, regardless of your years, you are
young enough in spirit to dream
dreams and see visions - dreams
and visions about a greater and
finer America that is to be; if you
are young enough in spirit to be-
lieve that poverty can be greatly
lessened; that the disgrace of in
voluntary unemployment can be
wiped out; that class hatreds can
be done away with; that peace at
home and abroad can be main
tanned; and that one day a gen.
Grafton may possess this land,
blessed beyond anything we now
know, with these things-material
and spiritual-that make mans life
abundant.
IF that is the fashion of your
dreams then I say: Hold fast to
your dream. America needs it,"

coveries probably prevented many
deaths of it there.
DR.. Brooks had specialized in
diagnosis in recent years. His as
sociates, who described him as "a
modern doctor of the old school"
said he was the most consulted
diagnostician in America. He wrote
many medical books. and main
tanned interest in a wide range of
hobbies, including big game hunting
with camera.
He was born in Medo, Mimi,
studied at the Universities of Oregon
and Michigan, as we'll as abroad,
and taught in several New York
universities.
He will have military funeral
service Thursday morning in New
York, as Division Surgeon and
Colonel of the Seventy-seventh
Division Medical Regiment. He will
be buried in Northboro, Mass.

and bolstering social security.
Leaders, said to be indorsing the
conference, are believed favorably
disposed to a Farmer-Labor Party
provided such a movement could
gain whole-hearted support from
farmers and trade unionists as well
as liberals.
Gov. Floyd B. Olsen, Wisconsin,
titular head of the Farmer-Labor
Party, has urged national con-
vention of the party. Hoosiers in
terested in the movement are ex-
pected to attend.
Last year the Indiana State Fede-
ration of Labor killed a resolution
for formation of labor party.
A group of labor union members
in Terre Haute, South Bend, and
Gibson County are said to favor
formation of a political party to

The Socialist Party Of Indiana
has two prospective candidates for
Governor in Powers Hapgood, lib

Tomisch, Gary attorney.
The party's vote in the last pres

Forest S. Rogers, state secretary,
believes that this vote will be
boosted in November.
He sees no trend of party men,

Pension Plan or the National Union

losses the party may sustain will be
due to the liberal voter casting his
ballot with the major political par

Stung!

If you're feeling pretty set
up about the warm weather
this week, your ardor will be
dimmed by the announcement
of Frank Wallace, state ento-
mologist, that mosquitoes be-
gin breeding the first warm
days.
With many lowlands filled
with stagnant waters after the
floods, mosquitoes are expected
to be plentiful this summer.
Fifty of the buzzing insects
can be raised in a quart tin
can.
If the water drains out Of

ana, Mr.. Wallace does not ex-
pect Hoosiers to be bothered

Getting Your Number.

The Social Security Board has an
nounced, doubtless with considerable
trepidation, the system by which each
of its thirty million and more prospec-
tive beneficiaries of old-age retirement
pensions will be identified. Within
few years, beginning next January, when
employers and employees will begin pay
ing retirement pension taxes, every
employe in the United States Will be
covered by the old-age pension act
There are, in addition, those who are
already covered by the unemployment
insurance plan, taxes for which went
into effect last January. Each OF these
individuals must be identified and his
record kept on file at the Social Security
Board, which has just announced that
identification will be made by numbers.
Every working man and woman in the
country will be given a number.
For those who fear ultimate "regi-
mentation" the implications Of this
numbering system are plainly apparent.
There is, moreover, something repugnant
to the average man and woman In losing

the personal individuality Of name Il

the personal individuality Of name IN
favor of a number. 1t suggests the
identification system of the inmates or
our leading prisons. When citizen
becomes eligible for an old-age pension
he will not be known to Uncle Sam as
John @. Brown-of the Virginia Browns
but as No. 31X254. And the card index
on file in Washington will not reveal
the fact that John @. Brown was a
pleasant fellow, noted for his charitable
impulses and his civic loyalty, but will
show that No. 31X254 was also bene-
ficiary of unemployment insurance when
he was laid off by the shoe factory IN
Lynchburg and drew six weeks COM
pensation pending his unemployment
by confectioner in Washington.
The numbering has been put of until
after the elections in November. That
not only reflects certain discretion at
headquarters, but is indicative of the
tremendously complicated task in per-
fecting workable filing system which
the board must complete before the
number assignment actually gets under
way.
Fingerprinting, together with the num-
bers, would be the surest method of
Identification. But it will be many long
day before the Government begins re-
cording every citizens fingerprints. 1t
is ticklish business assigning a number
to citizen. 1t might be politically fatal,
now, to ask for his fingerprints.

Tactical Suggestion.

What do economic royalists," men,
toned by the President in his Philadel-
phia acceptance speech, do and who are
they?
One thing they doubtless do Is to ex-
plot cheap child labor. Twelve years
ago Congress decided to end this evil
through a constitutional amendment
empowering Congress to legislate on the
subject. An amendment was submitted
to the States Thus far twenty-four-
just half-of States have ratified the
amendment. Twelve more must act be-
fore the amendment becomes effective.
The first State to ratify was Arkansas.
Arizona, California and Wisconsin were
next. The States Of Colorado, Idaho, I1li-
nois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, North Dakota. Ohio, Okla
homa, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah,
Washington, West Virginia and Wyoming
have acted subsequently. though not in
the order named.
Recently the Louisiana Legislature
voted down the amendment for the third
time since it was submitted. Children
are proftably employed in the straw
berry fields of Louisiana. Some Of the

eighty members Of the Louisiana Legis-
