TO DR.. TOWNSEND
McGroarty Calls on Pension
Sponsor to BEG For
qivenesS.'
BY John C. HENRY.

Calling on DR.. Francis e. Townsend
TO get on his knees and beg for
rtveness," Representative McGroarty,
Democrat, of California, sponsor CO
the only Townsend old-age pension
bill in Congress, today accused the
doctor of insincerity, ingratitude and
desertion in withdrawing his support
from the McGrosrty bill and breaking
with his original associates in the pen
sion movement.
At the same time. the Californian
called on Townsend clubs already
formed to remain intact. regardless
of the findings of the Investigating
committee" and to work for the cleo
ton of congressman favorable to the
McGroarty BILL" which, he predicted,
ultimately will be enacted into law.
Present advisers of the doctor have
sled him away from the real purpose
of this movement" McGroarty said in
q prepared statement. land set him to
chasing rainbows." These advisers. he
continued, Tanned the flame of un-
warranted jealousy of Mr.. Clements"
which led to the latter's resignation
from his post of national secretary and
treasurer of Old-Age Revolving Pen
sions, Inc.
Basing his inSincerity charge on
failure of Townsend to remain in
Washington and work for the passage
of the McGroarty bill. the Representa-
tive named this as one of three rea-
sons for his own break with Town
send. The others were the doctors
plans for third-party movement and
his shift to the principles of the
"Downey plan" which would involve
a huge bond issue to pay the 5000 pen
eions.
Denies Plan 10 Run.
While McGroarty thus was reopen
ing the bitter feud which has existed
between him and Townsend during
recent months. the doctor was denying
any intention to run for Congress
against Representative Collins, Califor-
MIA Republican. A report to that
effect was heard among the California

Meanwhile. the House investigation
has turned itself into q game of hide
and seek, with six subpoena servers on
the trail Of Edward j. Margett, cur
rently believed to be the real power
behind the present Townsend organ
ization The subpoenas call for Mar
gett's appearance before the commit
tee next Tuesday. The committee is
in recess, subject to the call of the
chair.
Yesterday there were 18 exhibits
introduced by Committee Counsel
James r. Sullivan bearing on the
manager of the Townsend organ
ization.
Among them were affidavits from
longtime associates describing reputed
connections with such enterprises as
liquor running and gambling estab-
liShments.
"ChiseIing" Is Charged.
One C. A. Donahue deposed that
Margett has been "chiselling" in his
Townsend activities by paying salaries
to workers in his furniture business
out of the Townsend funds and then
taking a 20 per cent rebate on the
salaries. A similar cut" is taken
on all income of 435 clubs in that
area, Donahue charged. while Margett
has prepared bills for many thou
sands of dollars worth of furniture
which he distributed to the Townsend
clubs ostensibly as gifts.
Expected to defy the committee,
Margett would be subject to the
same contempt action as that
taken against DR.. Townsend. Rev.
Clinton Wunder and j. B. Kiefer. II.
however, the subpoena is not served
until after Congress adjourns. there
could be no contempt citation re-
turned by the House.
Furthermore, election of new Con-
gress In November might throw some
doubt on its powers to issue contempt
citations against persons who defied
a previous Congress.
This complication is believed to be
the principal reason for Margett's
temporary avoidance of the marshals.
since it is virtually certain they will
locate him eventually.
Also in possession OF the committee
counsel and Investigators Is an even
larger accumulation of photoStatic
records of bank accounts and other
data pertaining to Margett, with which
he will be faced in the event he de-
cides to appear before the committee.
Pending some results in the Mar
gett issue, the committee is in recess.

Visiting the Neighbors

Canadian authorities estimate that their tourist business for 1886 will bring in about $3O0O00,000. Most of 1t comes from what Canadians, jealous of the term "Americans', call their "neighbors to the south" There is no such estimate yet given for the expenditure of our tourists In Mexico, the West Indies and Central and South America. Perhaps that traffic will amount to $100, 0,000,000. A sustained period of prosperity would probbaly see our people spending half billion dollars year in seeing how the other Americans live and enjoying their hospitality and natural charm.
 Meanwhile the volume in our own country, by Canadians and Spanish Americans, is said to be greater than ever before. All this gives millions of people good time and the advantages of travel at a low average expense, and also helps along the solidarity of the people of the Western Hemisphere. In the pres ent state of the world, this is very desirable thing.

The Worlds Too Small

Those three reporters who are racing around the globe may not realize 1t, but they are handing the world neat little object lesson on 'the folly of jealous nationaliSm. Using ordinary, commer- cial means of transportation, they expect to circle the globe in three weeks or less. That measures the Shrinkage of the earth in this modern era. It shows just how closely the races of man have been jam med together by twentieth century science.
 In world grown as small as that - a world which you can completely circle Tn less time than you could have crossed the Atlantic century ago - it ought to be clear to the blindeSt that men are under a greater compulsion than ever before to get along with one another, to cooperate, to substitute harmony for dis cord. Yet the trend has been all the other way, ever since the war. A policy of isolation has been followed in almost every great capital.
 Nation after nation has tried to pull down the blinds and pretend that It could work out its own salvation without regard for what its neighbors did - just as if those neighbors were still as far away as they were at the time of the Napoleonic wars. That policy may have been all right a century ago. It is far from all right now. For an odd thing about technological improvement is that when you invent new machine, you are compelled to use it, whether you want to CT not.
 Inventing machines that have made the earth shrink to a tenth of its old size, men are forced to use them. They have to live in this new, smaller world, where their neighbors are next door instead of miles across the prairies. To try to live as if nothing had been changed is folly. This effort to swim against the current has created an unbearable tension, a tension that is reflected in armament races, in surly dictatorships, in declining standards of living, in mass regimenta- tion, in the fear and suspicion that make people take it for granted that there Will be a new world war before 1940.
 Fortunately, it is not too late to change. There are signs, at last, that the nations are beginning to come to their senses. Within the last two weeks, America, Eng land, and France have joined forces to stabilize the worlds monetary system and revive world trade Smaller nations have followed suit; now Italy has joined in the game. The currency war, at least, seems to be coming to an end.
 Nor is that all. The French govern ment is taking action to lower its tariff walls and has offered to suppress the in1- port quotas which strangle trade in it's cradle. There is at least chance that 1t will get to make world recovery real and thereby to drive away the shadow of approaching war. Something of the kind is in the cards, certainly. A world that can be circumnavigated in 21 days IS a world in which people must get along with one another or perish miserably.

Pianos Again

A Music Merchants Association, hold ing its 18th annual state convention, has heard much about the revival of business in musical instruments, particularly the piano. A few years ago the piano was fading from the picture. Monographs, then radio, had dealt it death blows Orchestra and band instruments were still in demand, but no one wanted pianos. They took up too much room and nobody played them, anyhow.
 : 'We just folded up for about three years," said speaker at the convention.
 "But our colors are flying high again now"
 Today's much-demanded piano is
 streamlined and of modern design and decoration Perhaps these details are of less importance than the tonal quality of the instrument, but they rank high in sales appeal. It is interesting that phon- graph, radio and piano are now all in great demand. No one or two destroyed any other.

It is said that in considering traffic problems the smallest amount of atten- tion is given to pedestrians on rural highways This problem is the most difficult, evidently, and how to take care of the situation offers much food for thought. Unfortunately rural roads and state roads are not so constructed that there is room for sidepaths for pedestri- ans. In some places yes, but generally no. Pedestrians, unfortunately, have to cross dangerous highways at hazardous points. Impatient motorists hate to slow up and rather than do so sound warn- ing horn which sends the walker scut- ting, very often to destruction. In regard to this problem officials have stated, pending such time as this terrific haz- ard can be removed by engineering or regulation, an extremely great responsi- bility rests upon motorists and pedestri- ans alike, to avoid unnecessarily danger ous situations, and to be prepared to meet them safely when they do arise"

Editor of The Democrat:
 The press of Americac today de- voted as it is to the publication of spot news cannot afford to be blind ed by the camouflage and propaganda which is being used as 8 smoke screen by interested sources to hide the truth of the working class move. ment that is sweeping over the world. The class struggle of the world workers has reached stage where 1t can no longer be ignored. The civil war in Spain. has denl- onstrated that. The youth of this country demand the truth about fascism and communism, two words that represent forces that inter- preted mean something that the pulp does not understand, because the issues have never been clari. fled. In sober, unprejudiced truth then communism means organiza- ton on an International basis of all trade unions based on the class struggle of the workers against fascism and capitalism, wherever workers are organized for mutual protection from capitalistic ex- ploitation.
 In a way it is . repetition of the struggle of the American colonies against the British yoke which was strangling the life of the early cole onists, and which bred the spirit of 1776, which gave birth to the Boston Tea party and created pa- trio.J like Nathan Hale. The strug- gle today, however, is on an econom- ic basis, the trend of the times to remake the entire economic system of the world, to create Q new system in which the workers will be the owners and producers of the entire wealth of the world, and not one special group or individual or indi- Yiduals.

 Although district organization is badly limping some consolation may be derived from the definite progress achieved in the realms of candi- dates. These have been wisely and ably chosen for office this year. Of course we have our Town Chairman MT. Upson a candidate for congress, Some republicans would be critical of Jim Farley for his multiplicity ot offices. But after all party chair- man should have some prerogatives. For the state senate the party has selected John Monzani and Merran Hill, both of whom 1t is learned have a powerful Irish and Italian support. Attorney Sweeney is the candidate for judge of probate while Albert Bronsky and Mortimer Gal win will be sacrificed for the house of representatives, What a galaxy of candidates. can hear the Three Wise Men from the East (eastern wing of the Marble Palace) chuck ling to themselves as they read and re-read this formidable list of war riors. What fodder for the demo- cratic cannons when the barrage turns heaven and earth loose on Tuesday, November 3.
 Further inquiry reveals that the elusive and invisible Frankenstein, returned recently from the Madison shores tanned and rejuvenated. His fine Italian hand (and by the way the fine Italian hands according to the chart of the Zodiac are voting New Deal this year for change of luck) has been plainly seen guid- ing the blind and helpless in its persistent efforts to undermine whatever semblance there is left of a local republican party. It must be noted also that Messrs. Phillips, Hall and Larkin, report that the repub. lican army is expected to get under way much later than tisual-possibly not later than November 3. These men have a brand new method of attacking the enemy this year-it is said to be streamlined and the trio is very secretive about its plans.
 Your commentator, however, con- cludes by saying that Col. Knox was right when he very fittingly re- marked recently in Waterbury, "The whole set up this year is cockeyed."

SHADOW BROOK

Edward Tingley, Hamden, in the New Haven
 Journal Courier) Up high within the mysteries of Berkshire hills and pine A silver path with woodland grace Begins its swift descent. With eager carelessness 1t glides Among the aisles of vine Which hungrily extend their arms Pleading it's nourishment, The rocks and earth it mocks in mirth Because they both combine Their stolid forces soberly to Cease its ravishment. On down, on down in deeper glen It rushes roaring loud, Its path increasing high and wide As at the banks 1t jeers And when at last the mountain Race is over and aloud Sends out its joyous battle-cry- Then halts in awe and fear, At shadows, shadows beckoning To come within their shroud. And learn that brooks like men must Know the meaning of revere.
