 WASHINGTON, D. c. March 12- Dr. Francis Townsend was sentenced to 30 days in jail and fined $100 for contempt in the national House of Representatives.
 When sentence was passed by District Judge Peyton Gordon, the tall, gray Californian said thank you sir".

 Later Dr. Townsend issue a statement to the press defending the plan, saying: Try as they can to imprison me, they can't im- prison that idea".
 Hanson had asked for a new trial, but Judge Gordon denied his motion, and today imposed a minimum sentence, explaining that the law required both a jail term and a fine.
 The Townsend statement said he would do the same thing ag- ain under similar circumstances. The tide is definitely turning. My crackpot idea is becoming the id- ca which will save America from economic serfdom"
