Old Age Pension Probe

The nation will watch with a great deal of inter- est the investigation of old age pension plans by the House Committee headed by Con zressman Bell ot Missouri Particularly will interest attach to the Town send plan, the best known and most popular of the group.
 ToWnSendites claim Q membership throughout the nation of 8,00O,000 These paid an initiation fee ot 70 cents per person, ac- cordlng to Congressman Bells report, making a to- tai of S2, 100000. The levy he says, is then ten cents per month, or $800,000 a month revenue which in any business isn't a bad in- come. Bells contention is that 1t makes a fat monthly fee for the heads of the Townsend organization, but R. E. Clements, co-founder of the movement with pr. Townsend, says it is all an illusion on the part of the investigators. Buttons and literature cost a large frac- ton of the intake he claims. At least $1, ,OOO a week goes out for radio time, Clem- ents points out. He says bills run to $85,- poo and probably will run to 100000 in this campaign year. Postage is a big item and of course, there is the 'taff salaries, which Con- 5ressman Bell hints broad y are the biggest take" in he entire scheme. That is 'o1nthing for the investiga- ion to prove.

AIR MAIL MEANS PASSENGERS
Juneau FnpiYe)

The Bureau of Air Com- neree announces that dur ing the year 1885 Ameri- can air lines broke all pre- Vlous records by carrying 749,946 passengers. It was a 6l per cent increase over the previous year when on- ly 462, ,743 rode the air lin- es. The previous high mark was in 1883 when 493, Al passengers took planes. Ii was estimated that the drop in 1884 was due to the cancellation of air mail con tracts. This is a significant point and reveals the large part air mail contracts play Tn aerial transportation. If 1t means that much to the great tranSCOninental lin- es of the states, how much more it means in Alaska where our population is limited.
 The need of those mail contracts to lines operating in the Territory is even more pressing than "Out- sideo because without pro- per aerial transportation Al aska's mineral and indus trial development is great ly retarded. More regular ly scheduled air service is the one thing we need in the north, more than any other. It paves the way for development of our resourc es. If Congress wants to see the Territory go ahead and be a greater source of revenue to the nation it can do well to give further con- to those air mail contracts.

POLITICAL WAR
LOOMING IN
VIRGINIA

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, June 22.-One of the bitter
est political battles voters of the
Eighth Congressional District of
Virginia have witnessed since the
reconstruction days is expected
to develop here between now and
November l.
The fight, involving John Locke
Green, young Arlington county at
torney, and Representative How
ard w. Smith. who has held office
since 1890. is expected to be
based on the issues now being
thrashed out by New Deal sup
porters and Republicans.
Representative Smith was elect
ed to office in the November gen.
eral election of 1880, after defeat
ing four other prominent Demo
Gratis in the Democratic primary.
Beat Seasoned Politicians
After the retirement of Walton
Moore, veteran Congressman Of
this district, Mr.. Smith entered
the field against seasoned politi-
clans such as former State Sena-
tor Frank Ball, former Common
wealth's Attorney, Capt. Crandall
Mackey and Thomas Keith and
won out by a two-to-one majority
over his closest opponent, Sena-
tor Ball. Since this primary Rep
resentative Smith has been the
Democratic standard bearer for
two other terms without opposl-
ton within his party.
Unsuccessful in former attempts
to engage the Democratic incum-
bent in debate during the last
campaign, the young Republican
candidate will resume his efforts
during his fight this year.
Challenges to Debate
Declaring that the New Deals
policies are so unconstitutional as
to present material for joint de-
bates with any candidate oppos-
ing the issues, Mr.. Green said TO-
day that he would urge the Demo
cratic incumbent to thrash out
their differences of opinion be-
fore the voters of this district.
With Is counties and two cities
involved, the Republican candl-
date is counting on his present
residence r. Arlington county, his
former residence in Culpeper
county and political lieutenants in
the counties of Madison, Orange,
Fairfax, Albemarle, Goochland,
Greene and the city of Charlottes-
vile to carry his vote against the
incumbent.
Bitterly opposed to the farm
production curtailment program
of the present Administration, the
G. o. P. candidate says that he
will launGn a bitter fight against
policies OF New Dealers that leave
farmers unprepared for the lean
years following curtailmentS dur
ing normal seasons.

ACCUSES
AUT0FIRMAT
NLRB QUIZ

Charges of maintaining and
dominating a company union and
discharging an employe in viola
ton of the labor relations act were
made against the Nolan Motor
Company at a hearing today be-
fore Daniel M. Lyons, National
Labor Relations Board examiner.
The charges were based on COM
plants filed by the International
Association of Machinists, union
body with which almost 400 Strik-
ing automobile mechanics here are
affiliated. Complaining witnesses
were Joseph Acevas, Of 10 Eye
st. N. W., a body and metal
worker, formerly employed by the
Nolan company, and Bruce Lutrell,
of the 1000 block of D st. N. E.,
formerly a mechanic at the auto
mobile concern.
Represented by Jacob Blum, re-
gional attorney for the ational
Labor Relations Board, AcevaS
testified he had been discharged
because of his failure to sign an
application for the Nolan Motor
Company Employees Beneficial AS
Sociation.
Company Denies Charge
The motor company, through its
attorney, Louis Mann, answered
that Acevas had been discharged,
not because of his refusal to sign
the company union application,
but because the painting depart
ment, with which he was con-
nected, had been discontinued as
a result of inability to compile
with District fire regulations.
A few weeks after acevas had
been discharged, it was brought
out, the Employees Beneficial AS
sociation" was abandoned June 16.
This took place, it was shown,
after the National Labor Relations
Board had entered the case.
The second complaining wit
ness, Lutrell, testified he had
been discharged when he found
it impossible" to complete a
job which he claimed had been
assigned to him in retaliation for
his union activities.
Refused to Sign Agreement
Lutrell said he refused, when
asked by the paymaster, to sign
the company union agreement,
and subsequently was sent to one
of the Nolan Company service
stations to overhaul a truck. Ac-
cording to Lutrell, the truck was
parked on the street and despite
the fact that it was raining hard
he was ordered to proceed with
the assignment. A company Of
ficial, Lutrell testified, ordered
him to complete the job in the
driving rain that night "or else"
Lutrell said he later learned
from other employees that he had
been given the assignment because
of his refusal to join the COM
pany's union and because he was
member of Lodge 1913 of the
MachiniSts' Association.
David Kaplan, secretary of the
union, testified that the Nolan
company at a conference on June
Is offered to take Lutrell back
and pay him $50 for his time out.

MODEL TRAINS
F0L7Z' HOBBY

When C. Tage Foltz, of 1850
Thirty-sixth St. N. w., builds
model trains, he really builds
them.
Nothing short of perfection will
do, and perfection means detail
to him.
He is so scrupulous about detail
in the carrying out of his hobby
of building model trains that
every little thing counts.
There is, for instance, his OBJ
servation car, the pride and joy
of the Foltz yard" The observa-
ton car is replete with every de-
tail that appears in the real life
size trainS-and more.
In the lounge section, there are
numerous tables and chairs, and
on each table is reading lamp,
the base being pin. On a long
reading table is a set of books and
magazines. The writing desk has
its desk pad. The floor is covered
with carpet, and on the radio is
a vase and in the vase is a bunch
of flowers.
The diner on Mr.. Foltz' line is
fitted with overhead electric
lights and tables. The chairs are
missing, but that's only because
Mr.. Foltz hasn't come to them
yet.
-, The coach has its double row
of seats and the Pullman has its
swivel chairs.
For the rest, Mr.. Foltz has re-
frigerator cars, stock cars. box
cars, an automobile car and
hopper bottom car.

TON. Y. THUGS

A gang of New York thugs was
being hunted today in connec-

store in the Woodward Building,
Fifteenth and H Streets Northwest,
last Saturday in which jewels
valued at more than $4,000 were
stolen.
Detectives of the robbery squad
admitted today they have learned
that members of the New York
gang had been seen in the Capital
a day or two before the robbery,
and they believe the gangsters fled
from the city Immediately after
staging the holdup.
The three thugs entered the
jewelry store, after having tele-
phoned and made an appointment
to come in about the closing hour.
Carl Peterson, owner of the estab-
liShment, and his wife were alone
in the place when the three men
entered, asked to look at several
rings, then drew revolvers, bound
and gagged the PetersonS and
looted the place.
Peterson freed himself about an
hour later and called for help.
