Two dozen automobiles composing
the Townsend caravan were pre-
pairing to leave this morning for
Washington after parading through

p Warmbold director of the
Townsend national legion, expects
to have 1000 automobiles, 5000
persons and petitions bearing the
names of 1O,000,00O names by the
time it reaches Washington.
Warmbold said numerous stops
will be made en- route to the capi-
tol for mass meetings and recruit
ing of additional automobiles for
the caravan.
Russell r. Rand, assistant re-
gional director of the old age

ington.
The move is a legitimate and
worthy means of presenting Town
