TOWNSEND Gets
NEW CHALLENGE
Asked by House Counsel to
Confront Some 'Docu-
mentary Proof

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 25.-House
old-age pension investigators &C.
cused elderly DR.. Francis E. Town
send today of attempting to use
Congress as a sounding board to
further his profitable dreams"
The attack on DR.. Townsend was
made by James r. Sullivan, counsel
for the House Pensions Investigate
ing Committee, whose inquiry Town
send and his followers have bolted.
Sullivan challenged Townsend to
appear before the committee and be
confronted by such documentary
proof, which he can not deny, that
his fantastic stories in the past will
not stand"
The attorneys charges were the
first break in official silence of the
committee since Townsend refused
to testify. Townsend repeatedly has
denounced the investigation as "un-
fair" and challenged the committee
to arrest him.
House leaders, worried that a trial
before the full House would dis
arrange plans for ADJOURNMENT.
want the case to be referred to Dis
trict Supreme Court. Even thai
course would not be satisfactory, as
a court trial probably could not be
held until after the November elec..
tons. Many congressman have been
counting on revelations of the liz
vestigation to aid them in combating
Townsend opposition in the cleo
tons.
Investigating Committee Chair
man G. Jasper Bell 3D., Mo- and
at least three others favor the court
action. however. They want to
make certain that Townsend and
his supporters are not able to claim
that he was prosecuted by being
given a one-sided trial in the House,
Bell said he would convene his
committee tomorrow to determine
procedure.

OMAN DENIES
LEGION ATTACK
Referred to Other Groups
in Church Talk, Says
New Bishop.

Bishop G. Bromley Oman, re-
firing president of De Paw Uni
versity and recently elected bishop
CT the Methodist Church, is to
continue his appeals to the church
to unite against organizations
which operate as patriotic groups
for purely selfish reasons, he said
today.
Bishop Oman, when interviewed
today, denied published accounts
of his address last night in the
Roberts Park M. E. Church in
which he was quoted as attacking
the American Legion.
"As matter of fact, I did not
even have the Legion in mind.
The groups referred to are other
organizations which accuse us of
subversive activities and at the
same time try to frighten business
men in order to keep the money
flowing to their Golfers" he said.
Quoting from the report of the
recent General Conference of the
Methodist Church, Bishop Oman
said:
These groups rightly have been
called termites and chameleons,
digging at the heart and changing
their colors to fit the situation.
oh ltox Ill
posed to war, but actual partlcipa-
ton of it's members is an individual
proposition. We must oppose war
on the grounds of the methods it
employs to reach an end, which in
clude lying, killing, stealing and
many other things.
Modern Christians must apply
the precepts of John Wesley, the
good old English Methodist, and
unite their powerful institution to
conquer the critical economic and
religious conditions.
"One of our greatest troubles to-
day is the fact that the theoretical
and practical people do not benefit
from the abilities and accomplish
ments of each other. We must for
get selfish individualism and ma
tionalism and preach sensible CO.
operation and internationaliSm."
Bishop Oman commended the
Methodist Church as having start
ed in the right direction in move
to unite all its allied organizations
and use its expansive holdings in
the religious and educational fields
as means to solve world problems
in a democratic manner.

TAX BILL GETS
FINISHING TOUCH
G. 0. P. Senators to Oppose
Possible Attempts to Cut
Off Debate.
BIZ United Press

DU CNt6u FTGSS
WASHINGTON, May 25.-Senate
Republican leaders today prepared
to fight any attempt to railroad the
Administrations new tax bill
through the chamber by choking
off debate in the rush toward con-
gressional adjournment.
Passage of the almost completed
revenue bill generally was conceded
by Republicans. Most forecasts were
that it would reach vote in three
days after it is reported ei her to-
morrow or Wednesday, if action on
the work-relief measure does not
hold it up.
But we will not submit to any
attempt to shut off open discussion"
said Minority Leader Charles l..
McNary (R., Ore).
The Senate Finance Committee,
putting final touches on the dras-
tically revised bill which they hope
will meet the Presidents demand for
$500, 100000 permanent and $517,-
100000 temporary revenue, indicat-
ed that their work would be COM
pleted by Wednesday at the latest
and possibly tomorrow.
The committee expects to meet
revenue demands by:
Putting a processing tax of y cent
pound on sugar to raise $66 900. 900.
Eliminating the $4,000 exemption
from estate and gift taxes on all
estates or gifts of over 100000 to
raise perhaps $50,OOO,OO0.
Putting import excise taxes or
several commodities such as coconut
oil, certain starches and possibly
others which would raise small sums.

LONE SURVIVOR
OF BOAT MISHAP
IN LAKE SAVED
Four Others Drowned Dur
ing "a Hours Afloat
After Upset.

By United Press
BELLE RIVER, Ontario, May Is.
"A United States Army plane fly
ing over Lake st. Clair sighted an
overturned boat with one man
clinging to it. He had chung there
for "a hours while one by one his
four companions gave up the fight
and slipped off to death.
The tragedy occurred Is miles
east of Detroit and one mile from
the Canadian shore.
The party-made up of William
Barlow, 25; Arnold VOL, 80; Cliff
ford Mcleod 80; Philip Brinkus,
81, and Elmer Reagin, 81, all en-
ployed in the same factory-set sail
from Detroit in Barlow's 24-foot
sloop at noon Saturday.
Dumped Into Lake
A mile off the Canadian shore
a sudden squat tipped the sloop
bottom-si up, dumping all five
into the lake. They swan to the
floating hulk and chung to it. They
saw the shore, even saw persons
on the beach, but no amount Of
shouting and waving attracted at
tention to their plight.
Three hours later, as dusk set
tied, Mcleod said:
I'm going to swim ashore"
He struck out. The others,
watching, saw him disappear be-
meath the surface a few hundred
yards away.
Brinkus called to him. Then he
pushed away from the boat and
started swimming frantically toward
the spot where Mcleod disappeared.
Disappears Under Surface
Don't do it," Barlow shouted.
Brinkus swan faster and Barlow
set out in pursuit Within a few
minutes Brinkus disappeared and
Barlow, badly shaken and ex-
hausted, swan back to the wreck.
BY pushing and pulling one an
other, Barlow, VOL and Reagin got
up on top of the keel and there,
through the night, talked of food
and home, sleeping fitfully for short
intervals. Finally light spread over
the lake and far in the distance
they saw the shore. They shouted
and waved without result. Finally
all were exhausted and stretched
out full length over the keel.
Ready to Die
At $50 a. M, he estimated, Rea-
gin closed his eyes, convinced he
was going to die and not caring.
In minutes he was sound asleep.
Hours later-about $3.50 p. m.-he
awoke with start, sat up, rubbed
his eyes. He was alone. The Lake
Tapped gently against the boat.
There was no sign of Woll or Bar
low.

Built on a design furnished by
Prof. CogShall, the new instrument
is to be placed in brick-domed OBJ
servatory being constructed on the
Thomas Huntington farm, two ano
a half miles southeast of here.
The present plans are the result
of more than IS years research
Prof. Cogshall said. The instrument
only one of its kind in the world
was planned before the war, but
construction was delayed until re-
Gently.
Placed in a rural setting, to elm
mate interference of city lights, the
instrument is essentially a camera.
Prof. Cogshall said 1t is built on
the rejecting principle, with two
concave mirrors but no lens. The
present telescope in the University
Observatory is to continue in use
The new dome installation is ex-
pected to be completed by fall, al
though the instrument, being made
in Chicago, is to be finished during
the summer, Prof. Cogshall said.
Indiana University purchased an
acre of land on the Huntington
farm for the observatory, which is
to be "a feet in diameter and II
feet high. The dome is to top this
structure.
The camera is built for a par
ticular job of recording faint ne
bulae, comets and other astral
phenomena. Prof. Cogshall pointed
out. 1t is not telescope through
which these bodies may be seen, but
rather a recording machine. Prof.
Cogshall said the cost would be
several thousand dollars.
