"disgusted millions" in a revolt
against the political alliance of DIR.
Francis Z. Townsend with the Rev.
Charles E. COughlin and Rep. Will

He began last night by cOnvinc-

creed by national headquarters of

"Nonc of us is against the Town

suing for receivership of O.A.RP.
and an accounting of its funds. He
has admitted his organization COL
1ected $1,200,000 in membership fees
and has"fittle more than $4,000 left,
but in court yesterday he couldn't
tell what became of the expended
balance.
Benjamin F.. CacharoW, attorney
for the complainants, the Rev. Al
fred j. Wright and group of Cali
fornia members of O.A.RP. sum-
moned the organizations national
treasurer and secretary to follow
him to the witness chair.
Among the inconclusive details of
OARP. finances that DR.. Town
send was able to reveal, and that
Treasurer Baxter c. Rankine and
Secretary Gilmour Young will be
asked to amplify, were:
That O.A.RP. has used $144 900
ito pay employees" in the past three
months; that junket of 20 Cali
fornia Townsend followers to Wash
ington cost $4,000 because it's di-
rector 'imbibed" too freely; that
DR. Townsend requisitioned $500
cash from the O.A.R.P. treasury
with an injunction to the treasurer
to keep still about it," that cross
country flights for Mrs. Townsend
have cost O.AR.P. $1,000.
Loyal followers of the pension
leader held gaudy signs in the court
room saying, mo true Townsendite
wants this investigation" They
jeered lawyers of the complainantS.
Judge George Kerr warned them
that This is a court, not a conven-
tion," but did nothing else to sup
press their demonstrations
Townsend maintained silen c
when Attorney Sacharow introduce
ed an O.A.RP. office memo indi-
eating Townsend received $500 from
Rankine last March and instruct
ed him to keep quiet" But at a
night court session Townsend eX-
planned the money was for the Ma
tional Visual Education fund of the
pension movement and he did not
want Robert E. Clements, his co
founder of the organization, to
know of it. Clements, he said, did
not approve of the National Visual
Education scheme.
Townsend said he did not know
how much is in the O.AR.P. de-
fense fund, a fund from which he
alone is empowered to draw, he did
not know what bank it is in, nor
did he even know who has the bank
passbook.

Senator Pat Harrison,

Balloting
By United Press

The futures of two stall

Senators Pat Harrison of
Mississippi and James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina-were in
the hands of their home state
voters in primary elections today
while in California another pri-
mary afforded test of Townsend
old age pension strength.
Mississippi's primary climaxed a
slam bang fight in which three of
the states most powerful political
figures were pitted. They were
Harrison, striving to retain the SEN
ate seat he has held since 1918,
former Gov. Martin (Mike) Sem
nett Conner, his opponent, and
Sen. Theo. G. (The Nam Bilbo, a
Conner supporter.
In South Carolina, Byrnes had
two opponents, former Charleston
Mayor, and Col. w. C. Harllee,
retired marine officer. Their at
tack on Byrnes was not dissimilar
to that made on Harrison in Mis-
sissippi. They contended he was
too interested in the New Deals
national affairs to properly attend
local affairs.
In both states the fight was for
the Democratic nomination, equiv
alent to election.
The California primary was ex-
pected to afford one of the most
thorough tests of Townsend
strength yet produced. Twenty
congressional seats are at stake
and Townsend-endorsed candidates
are running in each district.
