prlntlngs here, were dismissed in po-
nee court today.

TOWNSEND INQUIRY
BIPARTISAN MOVE
Republicans AS Well AS
Democrats Will Try to
Show Up '1Racket''
By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press Staff Writer

Washington, Feb. 29.-The House of
Representatives recently launched in
vestigation of the Townsend old age
scribed, is not, in reality, intended TO
be an investigation of the plan S
merits.
Indeed, Chairman c. Jasper Bell of
the committee, who started the in
quiry, says it will not be exclusively
a Townsend probe, but that it will
delve into the activities of all groups
of old age pension promoters. How
ever, inasmuch as none but the Town
sendites have organizations of any
consequence, it is not Inaccurate to
refer to the quiz as a Townsend in
vestigation."
But it is a fact that Chairman Bell
and other anti-Townsend members of
the committee do not propose to con-
Germ themselves with the question of
the practicability of old age pension
ing, either on a $2O0-a-month or any
other basis. What the "probers" are
undertaking to learn is how much
money the leaders of the old age pen
sion crusade are making out of it.
BOTH PARTIES EAGER
The political character of the COM
mittee's personnel testifies to the mu-
tuality of the Democrats and Repub-
leans desire to put the skids under
Townsendism.
Ordinarily, with so large a Demo
cratic congressional majority, the De-
mocratic membership of such a COM

In the present instance Speaker
Joseph w. Byrns gave a $3.50 break
to Congressman Bertrand H. Smell,
Republican generalissimo in the
House of Representatives, in the Sc
lection of committeeman.
Byrns named:

Scott w. Lucas, Joseph A. Gavagan
and John H. Tolan, Democrats.
SHELLS selections were:
Congressmen John B. HOLSTER, J.
William Otter, Clare B. Hoffman and
Samuel L. Collins, Republicans.
The Townsendites were given a
look-in.
Tolan and Collins avowedly are OF
that philosophy.
RACKET, THEIR ARGUMENT
The point is that the Democrats
were not a bit afraid to trust the Re
publicans to help them to fight the
Townsend doctrine.
The Townsendites are cutting in
apparently, about as much on one
party as upon the other Each is wor-
ried by the movement as much as the
other. They can cooperate loyalty te
scotch it, if possible.
Both know that they can't argue il
down. Their only recourse is to make

Washington, Feb. 20 (AP)-
A Congress divided on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's demand for a
s78O,OOO,OOO tax bill to plug
budget gaps, rested today be-
fore taking up the unwelcome
revenue-raisjng task next week.
With the $5OO,oOO,OOO farm subsidy
hill on the Presidents desk, taxes and
relief are the two major problems
that stand between Congress and adj
iournment.
Nav Not Get ALI
The President is expected to sub
nit his estimates of relief needs for
the next fiscal year some weeks
hence.
Some Democrats predicted he would
not get as much taxes as he asked.
Others thought he would get what he
asked.
The President, citing the holes
knocked in his budget by the invali-
dation of AAA's processing taxes and
the passing of the bonus, made public
a program calling for $78O,0OO,OOO a
wear for the next three years and
somewhat smaller sums thereafter.

The Republicans smiled in some
what obvious pleasure at the jolt thus
administered to the hopes of legisla-
tors who had looked for a maximum
recommendation of $5OO,OOO,OOO year.
Representative Smell, Republican, New
York, said:
"Oh, this country is going to be tax
conscious all right, and the sooner 1t
is the sooner this spending will
stop"

Raleigh, Feb. 29-The outlook is
now for a tobacco crop of at least
9OO,OOO,0OO pounds this year and with
prices averaging 10 cents a pound or
even less as a result of the inability
of the Federal government to enact
any effective tobacco crop control leg
islation and the refusal of the State
of Georgia to cooperate with the 9th
er tobacco producing states by the
enactment, of State laws limiting to-
bacco production, Governor j. c. b.
Ehringhaus admitted today. He sees
no possibility of a State pact plan
that will be effective in regulating the
1886 crop unless Georgia agrees to
cooperate, nor does he believe the pre-
sent farm bill passed by Congress as
a substitute for the AAA will prove
effective in limiting tobacco produc-
ton.

it, is a voluntary crop reduction plan

AIR MAIL FIRMS
MAY Be ABSOLvED
Report to President Reliev-
es Them of Liability In
Hoover Days

New York, Feb. 29.-(AP)-The
New York Sun, in a special dis
patch from it's Washington bu-
reau, said today the Department
of Justice has prepared report
for President Roosevelt officially
clearing the air mail companies
of all civil and criminal liabilities
in connection with contracts negO-
tiated during the Hoover admin
istratiOn, and cancelled to Post
master Genera Farley in 1884.
The Sun said it understood the re-
port confines itself to legal questions,
and while it takes note of certain cir
Irregularities" in the negotiation of the
air mail contracts, it reaches the con-
clusion that there was no transgres-
sion of the law by any of the parties
concerned.
Whether this would constitute
grounds upon which the companies
might see the government for dam
ages resulting from the cancellation
of these contracts could not be learn
ed, the paper said.
The contracts were cancelled by
Farley after Senate committee, head
ed by Senator Black, Democrat, Ala
bama, heard charges of collision and
fraud in the letting of the contracts
by Walter Brown, postmaster general
in the Hoover administration.

ROOSEVELT MIGHT
IGNORE LIBERALS
Won't Back 3O-Hour Week
and Other Demands; Pow
er to Alter Industry
By LESLIE EICIIEL


New York, Feb. 29.-As Federal
dams-sweep ahead, the industrial
status of the United States may
change.
These power plants and dams diff
fuse not merely electricity over vast
area but renourish the soil. Thus,
what may occur? Well, what Henry
Ford once said would occur.
There will be a decentralization Of
industry from the large cities. Indus
try will go to the rural regions, where
a man may till the soil as well as OPP
crate the machines.
It is against this that New England
so bitterly fights. It is this that dis
turbs the highly industrialized cities
of the North.
They will not be able to compete.
With lower fuel costs, with less ex-
pensive land near these great dams
in the South and in the Northwest
and in the Southwest, industries will
gravitate there.
AS Henry Ford also often has point
ed out, when production costs go
down, then we shall have the pros
perity we now try to obtain by falsely
upholding prices. It is lower costs that
will spread work.
Plus, the liberals add, increased par
ticipation of the worker and the
tenant farmer in earnings and incre-
ment.
BREAK IMMINENT?
President Roosevelt is walking a
tightwire in connection with the lib
erals. Evidently he has decided to
ignore pleasantly, with a smile) their
suggestions, made in the Senate.
He will have his way concerning the
kind of taxation, for liberals desire
a broader income tax base, and high
er taxes on excess earnings"
And the President has pushed aside
their neutrality bill. He is on again,
off again in regard to housing. He
has no intention of backing the 30

GOLF DIVOTS
BY Jimmy Lee

The Twin City Golf Club held it's
monthly meeting at Phyllis Wheat
ley House last Saturday night. New
members admitted were Mr.. Rucker
and Mr.. Galloway. The club pro-
poses to have it's first tournament
the first Sunday in June. Members
must turn in scores from the fol-
lowing courses: Keller, Armour,
Como, and Hiawatha. Qualifying
and flight play will depend upon
these scores. Members must have
their scores signed by at least two
club members and scores must be
turned in to the secretary, Charles
Noble.
The Twin Cities are soon to have
a ladies' club. Mrs. George Mum
dell is calling the ladies together
next week, Monday, May Is, at 2
p. M, at Halle @. Brown House.
This fine weather we are having
has brought out many of the old
time golfers. I saw Sam Wright
last week and he was telling me he
intends to take a few of the boys
in camp.
Jimmy Hughes has bet the boys
that he will break ninety before the
season is over. O. K, Jimmy, more
power to you.
Paul Boswell and John Kendall
played their first game of golf last
week. Both fellows are serious
about their game and should be
trouble for some of the fellows
later. ....
Johnny Williams of Minneapolis
still has the boys in doubt. He
made a bet with a certain guy that
he would be shooting in the seven
ties before the season ended-well,
Mr.. Williams certainly is a man of
his word and if his game continues
to improve, I am afraid someone
is going to be sorry.
