A life in which he knew want and ceaseless struggle until he neared old age, when there came to him the inspiration for the plan which the whole nation is debating, has been that of Dr. Francis E. Townsend. This ab- sorbing story of his career, told by Willis Thornton, will be fol- lowed by an analysis of the Townsend Plan, written by Prof. E. E. Witte, famed Wisconsin economist.

Washington, March D. Congress and the administration have re- pudiated the theory that scarcity of food is essential or desirable in Q program to provide fair incomes for farmers.
 That's the important meaning of the so-called consumer protection" amendment to the new farm relief soil conservation legislation.
 Best available studies have shown that even in prosperous 1929 about 75 per cent of city families couldn't afford q diet adequate for health and that na- tional consumption of food was about 40 per cent below the amount which would be required for a universal moderate" diet.
 The consumer amendment" will not improve that state of affairs. But 1t guarantees that the farm ad- ministration, in the reduction of crop surpluses incident to it's new soil program, will not reduce food supplies below the normal level of consumption. The original legisla- ton carried no standards for such guarantee.

GARDEN

Sweet Surrender, a musical show released by Universal, opened at the New Garden theater last night and proved to be a tuneful delight and treat for the eyes. Un- less this reviewer is very wide of the mark 1t brings out three newcomers who are destined to go a long way in pictures. Two of these are the stars, Tamara (and is she lovely) and Frank Parker, the radio tenor, The third is Helen Lynd whose daffy comedy is a masterpiece of foolery.
 Prominent in the proceedings is none other than Jack Dempsey former heavyweight champ. The Manassa Mauler, looking as good as when he was knocking them dead in the ring. plays in the scenes set in his New York restaurant. Another gorgeous scene is the Sally MiIgrim fashion show in which dozens of cute girls parade in late fall and winter styles through one of the grand salons of the giant 6. 6. Nor mandle.
 Dana Suisse has written some charming music for Sweet Sur render. Monte Brice has done q great job of direction in this pros ductlon. Arthur Pierson and RuGi Brown gre excellent.

ou5 appendix operation, and then general peritonitiS set in. He decided to remove to southern California, where he had been before, and where he had relatives.
 Settling at Long Beach, Dr. Town- send practiced, on and of, and then became one of several physicians hired by the health department of Long Beach to attend the indigent Many were stranded and the city had to provide for medical care for hundreds.
 A little more than three years ago, when the number of cases dropped back to normal, he lost the job. He had very little money, though he was not entirely broke.
 That the things the doctor saw among the many elderly people who for years have fiocked to south- ern California influenced his CARP plan there can be no doubt.
 Tt was a bitter experience" he re- counts, Ito see these fine people re- duced to such dire conditions. Many, many of them committed suicide.' Starts on ShOestring
 No matter how long he had been thinking along social lines, the idea germinated about the time he found himself in the position described.
 The CARP plan started on an ab- solute shoestring. He had some blanks printer, with the plan at the top, space for signature at the bot tom. He advertised in the newspa- pers for canvassers to go around and get signatures. First signatures, then money support, began to come in.
 But Dr. Townsend didn't and doesn't pretend to have any finan- cial or business ability. By the time he was ready to rent, on credit, headquarters with 8 huge sign across the front, he felt the need of an associate trained in business
 The logical man was Robert Earl Clements, for whom the doctor had worked as @ part-time real estate salesman.
 Clements came along, and remains today as the business manager and executive spark-plug of the Town send organization.
