necessary improvements to the rail-
ways roadbed will amount to $3.50 900.

tires over Key Bridge into Washing
ton. An application for permission
to operate the new equipment in
Washington is now on file with the
Interstate Commerce Commission and
the Public Utilities Commission Of

used for freight and to supplement
passenger service by other railways.
this will be the first time a railway
has operated them completely for
passenger service. the company official

The first combination cars will be
operated over the section Of the line
running from Rosslyn through Fort

lines roadbed by balancing and sur
facing are being completed by G. H.

BY JOHN c. HENRY.

UndiSturbed by the character at
tacks leveled by the House Investi-
eating Committee at some of his key
associates in the old-age pension
movement, DR.. Francis E. Townsend,
head of the movement, declared yes
terday that he intends to stand pat
on his organization as now consti-
tuted. With it, he believes. he will
be able to effect the election of a
siZable bloc of Townsend Con-
gressmen and eventually secure en-
actment of the s200-per month pro-
gram.
The doctor passed through Wash
ington yesterday afternoon on his
way to Baltimore and, later in the
week, New England. He is scheduled
to make series of speeches Friday
and Saturay in Maine, where sew
eral Townsend plan supporters are
running in the congressional pri-
mares.
On his way from the West Coast
Townsend stopped at Springfield, H.,
for State convention of Townsend
ties, at national headquarters of the
organization in Chicago and then at
Cleveland. where Republican conven-
tion delegates are gathered.
Ready for Grand Jury.
Townsend said he had made no re-
quest to appear before the grand
jury during its consideration of in
formation concerning his alleged con-
tempt Of the House when he walked
out on the committee on May 81.

Charles B. Murray is expected to
present the contempt information on
Townsend. Rev Clinton L. Wunder
and John B. Kiefer within a few
days.
Il am completely at the pleasure
of the courts" the doctor said, but
I am not gravely concerned over the
possibility of a conviction. 1t is
up to them"
Questioned about the reported al
lance between the Townsend forces
and whatever followers are at the
disposal of Rev. Gerald K. Smith,
one-tlme Share-the-wealth mission
ary for the late Senator Huey Long,
Townsend said the Louisianan had
advised his followers to support
Townsend candidates in elections, but
added that there had been no formal
amalgamation of the two programs

He said no third-party pressure is
expected prior to the November elec-

Meanwhile, the House committee is
still unsuccessful in its attempt to
locate Edward j. Margett. California

sidering recall proceedings against
members of the council as q counter
move in event his own proposition ia
rejected.
Babcock said kilograms were be
ginning to come in" saying, Stay

The cause Of the trouble was an
attack by Babcock on the "spoils pol
icy" of the Roosevelt administration,
issued in pamphlet form by the Re-
publican National Committee. A
council statement yesterday repu-
dated this in its entirety, con-
demned Babcock for "derogatory
statements against the President OF

guilty of conduct unbecoming an
officer of the federation, particularly
the president thereof"
The matter also got to the floor OF
the Senate yesterday afternoon when
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, Of
wyoming, without mentioning names,
defended administration personnel
policies, and said criticism had been
voiced principally by certain political
leaders desiring to discredit the ad-
