Townsend Accused
By DR.. Wunder

NEW YORK, Aug. IL GN.SO
OuSted as a director Of tn e
Townsend Old Age Revolving
Pension organization, DR.. Clinton
Wunder today had accused DR..
Francis Townsend of selling "the
organization down the river to
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin
and Representative VILLA m
Lemke, Union Party presidential
candidate. He said:
81 am fired because I OBJ
jected to DIR. Townsend and
'GrasshOpper' Gerald Smith do
ing the very thing they accuse
me of. They have sold the
organization down the river to
COughlin and Lemke.
"Gerald Smith could not
make Townsend speech if he
wanted to. 1 doubt if he
knows what the Townsend
plan is. Townsend, himself,
for weeks has confined his re-
marks to vicious attacks on
President Roosevelt. I resent
this and am no party to it,"

TRAFFIC FATALITY
RATE CUT SHARPLY
Three Killed in September,
Compared to Is
Year Ago.

In spite Of an increase In number
of automobiles in Washington and in
the number Of traffic accidents, fewer
people have been injured or killed by
motor cars here in the first nine
months Of the year than during the
comparable period of 1885, according
to William A. Van Duzer, director Of
vehicles and traffic.
Van Duzer pointed out that during
September there were only three trafnc
fatalities, compared to 13 In Septem-
ber year ago. From January to
September 80 the total number OF
fatal accidents was 81; during the
same period last year there were 81.
As for injuries In trafic accidents
the total through September 80 this
year was 1887 and last year was 3,1s5.
These figures indicate" Van Duzer
said, that there has been substan-
tial reduction both In injuries and
traffic deaths during the past nine
months.
However, the records indicate that
accidents resulting in property damage
increased during this same period from
4,11s in 1885 to 1891 during the same
period this year. The total accidents
have increased from $3.50 to 1859.
"The net registrations of motor We
hicles during this period has increased
about 1000. This is not bad show
ing for the District, In view of the fact
that we have more cars in proportion
than perhaps any other city in the
world. but there Is plenty of room for
improvement.
If all drivers would make up their
minds to obey the rules Of the road
and drive carefully and cautiously,
and II all pedestrians would look be-.
fore crossing the street, accidents In
Washington could be still further
reduced" -

MAN OF TWO WORLDS
Mrs. Gertrude Becker Weis Nome Girl Is In Picture.

A new personality flashes bril- hantly across the cinema hori- zon in Man of Two Worlds, , the RKO-Radio Picture comes to the Dream Theatre Tuesday Mar. 31st, at 8 o'clock. Francis Lederer brought an international reputa- tionto American pictures, and to it he adds fresh luster with his performance in Man of Two Worlds"
 Elissa Landi, co-starred with Lederer in the production gives sparkling portrayal which is parallel to that of Ledtrer, al- though her role is briefer.
 It is the story of a mighty Arc tic hunter who is taken from Greenland to Londin by scientists for whom he has acted as guide. He has conceived a strange wor- shipping passion for the photo graph of the leaders daughter.
 When he meets the girl in the flesh, in Mayfair, his hopeless in- fatuation grows until he forgets his native wife. A crashing and heart-touching climax results from this strange situation.
 The Hungarian actress, Steff Duna. creates the native wife with rare sympathy and under standing.
 Among other sterling perform CTS contributing exceptional SUD- port, is Gertrude Becker Weis of Nome, who is now in the States
