The crowd roared its response in

this spending?"

cries were heard.

SOCIAL SECURITY
ATTACK DEPL0RED
Winant and Green Defend
Law, AssaiI Spreading
of Misinformation.'
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The New Deals social security law,
which has become a major issue of
the campaign, was defended ardently
last night by two public men-John
G. Winant, former chairman Of the
Social Security Board, and William
Green, president of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
Winant declared the source Of
misleading" information on the
security act, which he said, was in
serted in workers pay envelopes. had
been traced to Republican head
Quarters at Chicago"
THE timing of this action and
the manner of its execution" he
said in radio address, gives un-
tnistakable evidence that 1t has been
inspired from a common source"
, Green termed the act form of
legislation for which workers had
prayed for many years. In a let
ter to all State federations OF labor,
city central bodies and local unions,
he said there was grave danger
that widespread confusion and seri-
Gus misunderstanding may occur in
the minds of working people and their
friends regarding the provisions OF
the Federal social security act"
Wage Farmers Beneficiaries.
"The wage earners OF the Nation
are the beneficiaries OF this act" he
added.
He said he was "free from bias Of
any kind" and added:
. Because this is not merely an old
age assistance measure, but instead
form of old-age insurance, benef1ciarles
are required to pay small percentage
of their earnings beginning January
/, 1887, into a fund created by the
Federal Government, out OF which
future annuities will be paid" he said
EMPLOYERS of labor will be required
to match the amount paid by the
workers into this annuity fund. The
fund will be carefully supervised and
administered by the Federal Govern
ment. Nothing could be more secure
than that
Much Of Winant's address was de-
voted to answering criticism OF the
social security act made in q recent
speech by Gov. Landon, Republican
presidential nominee.
Winant contended that Republican
"strategy Is not to give the workers
social security but to defeat President
Roosevelt and to scuttle social
security"
Issue Laid to Land0n.
"Gov. Landon has made the problem
of social security a major issue In this
campaign" he said after asserting tna'
President Roosevelt had proposed the
problem be worked out in non
partisan spirit as a humanitarian
measure"
THE social security act Is not o
party's answer, but Americas answer
to a great human need" he said.
Asserting that Gin many sections
of the country misinformation is be-
ing spread about the social security
act by the insertion of slips in workers
pay envelopes and by posters and bull
letins, warning that deductions will
be made from the workers pay be-
ginning January 1, 1887, to finance
the cost of the social security pro-
gram" Winant said:
This sort of propaganda is shoddy
politics; it does not give square
deal to the worker; it is not fair play;
1t is inconsistent with the principles
of democratic government; it is un-
American.
1T is a new form of the old threat
TO shut down the mill II the en-
ployers candidate isn't elected"

Our Defensive Needs
BIZ James T. Williams, F.

Congress to provide this aircraft
at the coming session.
But we also need l6-inch guns
and guns of lesser caliber to de-
fend certain strategic localities
and for other specific purposes
included in the national defense
program.
The United States also needs
infantry, field artillery, anti'air-
craft artillery and other mobile
forces as we'll as naval forces for
the country'S protection.
Each of these arms has q dis
tinct role in coastal frontier de-
tense. The Army Air Corps is a
vital arm in this defense. It's re-
Enforcement by the naval forces is
absolutely essential
But neither the Army Air Corps
nor the air force Of the Navy can
take over all the missions OF the
ground and sea forces.
ON GUARD
Congress must not only provide
for orderly development of the air
defense forces, out it must also
provide for the maintenance of
efficient land and sea forces II it
is to make effective the defense
program upon the carrying out Of
which our national security de-
ponds.
No nation has discarded either
land or sea forces and placed its
sole dependence on defense in the
air. No nation has yet discarded
it's air forces in favor of land and
sea forces and no representative
group and the defense authorities
Of no nation have made any such
fatuouS recommendation.
The attempt to destroy the ma
tional defense of the United
States by deluding the American
people into the belief that they
| can protect all that America holds
dear by disbanding the Regular
Army and sinking what there is
left of the Navy and making this
country wholly dependent upon
such defense as aircraft can pro-
vide, is condemned as fatuous not
only by all responsible air force
authorities but by all ether re-
sponsible defense authorities in
this or any other first class power.
Congress must therefore be on
it's guard at the coming session
against those publicity seekers in
its own membership who would
sell their country's defense birth
right for the mess of political pot
tage which the Sappers against
"the common defense" have to
offer.
Congress must also be on its
guard at the coming session
against the insidious attempts of
alien intriguerS to break down the
confidence of the American peo-
pie in the wise and patriotic
recommendations of their own de-
tense authorities in order that the
tools and dupes of foreign govern
ments may weaken the power and
prestige of the United States by
Gripping its defense forces afield
and afloat.

A BACK-FTRE

Somewhat tardily for the peace
Of mind of the politicians a back
fire is at last being started against
the Townsend plan for old-age
pensions.
The drive on behalf Of the plan,
well financed and well conducted,
has assumed alarming prospects
with scarcely anyone doing much
to head it off.
Now comes the New Hampshire
Foundation with a pamphlet
which holds up to ridicule the
claims Of DR.. To mSend and his
cohorts. And the Foundation uses
the very words of DR.. Townsend to
confound him.
The foundation quotes from the
testimony of DIR. Townsend and
his aides at the hearings before
the House and Means Committee
and shows that the good doctor
made admissions there that the
plan would not do the things that
his associates are now telling the
folks it would do when they ask
for two-bit contributions to the
propaganda fund.
It will take more than such ef'
forts as them, however, to bring
any let-up in the torrent Of mail
now pouring into the Senate and

PLACE OF REFUGE

Not only do we lose Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh and his family be-
cause Of our humiliating failure in
the ordering Of our national life,
but we lose also a historic treasure
that Wright airplane which
flew on the sand dunes at Kitty
Hawk. England has them both.
Red tape, muddling and hair
splitting at Washington lost us the
plane; and something more sin
lister lost us the man who, more
than any youth of our times, en-
bodied a brave new ideal of Seemly
living and unflinching courage.
"They chose England as the
place Of refuge for q number Of
reasons; the most important be-
cause Of their belief that the
English have greater regard for
law and order in their own land
than the people Of any other ma
ton in the world"
There's a bit Of cold newsprint
from the workaday Stroy Of the
flight Of the Lindberghs to Eng
land, as baneful as the Meme,
meme tekel upharsin" that flared
on the walls of Belshazzar's pal
ace. Tragically true it is that we
have been weighed in the balance
and found wanting.
A place of refuge! There was
a day when this America of ours,
and not England, was a place Of
refuge for those who would live
and work in peace, cherish and
protect their families and enjoy
security under law.
We have not missed the ex-
patriates who find in Europe a
better place for display and dal-
lance. We were calm when
James Hazen Hyde and e. Berry
Wall left our shores. No depart
ing boulevardier ever shamed us.
UNITY AND ACTION
But I have a feeling that the
American who was not shocked
and Inundated when he read that
Lindbergh story is one of only
dubious citizenship: that perhaps
here is a litmus test for those who,
under the benson Of law. claim
a share Of our heritage and safety
in their household. In the words
Of the Anglican ritual, 1--WE have
left undone the things we ought
to have done, and we have done
the things we ought not to have
DONE"
Can this incident shock us into
salutary realization Of our failure
in safe, orderly, honest communal
life? Every man to whom I have
spoken about this has been
aroused and angry - and, Of
course. Inundated. These, it hap
pens, have been men of varying
opinions as to the causes Of social
deterioration in America; Of the
rise Of gangSters and kidnapers:
of the menace to the American
home.
There is hope Of both unity
