1t is now United States Judge Nell
G. Underwood instead of Congressman
Underwood
Nell G. Underwood served his con-
stituency in the 18th district most
capably for eight consecutive terms.
He is fine gentleman, competent
lawyer, and a tried public servant of
ability and capacity. President
Roosevelt bestowed fitting recogni-
tion of fine public service in nomi-
mating his United States judge for the
Southern District of Ohio
Startling disclosures before the
committee Investigating the Town
send plan are like mama from heaven
to many harassed congressman. Rob-
lert E. Clements, the national secre-
tary and co-founder, was first exposed
as having made fortune and lived
in luxury from the nickels and dimes
taken from the folks back home who
had been sold on the 5000 a month
old-age pension panacea
More recently Edward J. Margett,
California regional officer of the
Townsend organization, has been
shown to be the recipient of approx
mately $2500 month in commissions.
This might not be so bad were it not
for the fact that Margett has crimi-
nal record for grand larceny and other
serious offenses.
While National Townsend leaders
will not admit this, the facts are that
there is no bill pending in congress
which will provide 5000 per month to
every worthy elderly individual in the
country The original McGroarty
bin provided this. This bill was aban-
doned on April |, 1885. The present
McGroarty bill provides for payments
mot exceeding 5000 per month" I'm
fortunately, this bill establishes no
minimum. 1t is difficult to provide
real old age security unless a definite
minimum is fixed in the law
