Townsend Delegates Reaffirm Their
Loyalty to Age Pension Program
BY MRS. E. S. STRICKLER


LOS ANGELES, June % CUP) -
More than 5000 delegates at the
third national Townsend conven-
ton now in session here dedicated
themselves to enactment of the
general welfare act, reaffimed
their faith in their organization
and laid plans for expansion of
their program
Delegates assembled from every
state in the union determined to
crystalline the national policies OF
the organization and accelerate
their program of congressional dis
trict organization. One of their
main objectives is selection OF
candidates for the senate ana
house of representatives who Will
support the general welfare act. An
educational program for every
community in the United States Is
planned for the coming year.
Within the organization, it was
decided to revise the manual of the
Townsend National Recovery
movement to get greater unity and
more systematic rules. Governor
Frank Merriam, Walter B. Pitkin,
and Congressman Ralph Brewster
were among the speakers.

Patrick Hastings, eminent British
criminal lawyer, and a friend who
said that no statement could be
made to the press, adding "the less
said the better. The trio had a
brief interview with the chief mag
istrate. Previously, w. NJ. Mitchell,
another attorney for the countess,
had admitted that certain pre-
cautions" were being taken to pro-
tect the child.
Despite Scotland Yards denial
of knowledge of a threat to kidnap
the child, it was considered signifi-
cant that the countess went to Bow
street since action against a for
eigner, or any person outside the
jurisdiction of the metropolitan
area, would be taken by that court.
Observers pointed out that if the
countess desired action by the chief
of police in some town such as
Southampton, port of entry, she
would apply to the Bow street
court. 1t was rumored that the
threat came from abroad.

Joseph M. Allison, American en-
bassy official who remained in
Marking to look after American
interests after the Japanese took
the former capital in December,
lodged a formal protest with the
Japanese provisional authorities.
Allison was slapped last January
25 when he went to Japanese head
quarters to inquire about a Chinese
woman servant arrested at Marking
university and taken to a prison
camp.
The japanese authorities were
said to have denied that the sentry
slapped Thompson. They accused
Thompson of interfering with the
sentry in the performance of his
duty.
Allison refused to accept the
Japanese reply. He was said to have
told the authorities that their YER
sion of the incident was unsatis-
factory.
Local consular officials declined

Centre strides to its rightful place
In the district sun. There were
plenty OF schoolmen, particularly in
the west end Of the district, who
believed Sank Centre had little
business moving directly into dis
trict competition. That is neatly
nipped in the bud The logical
conclusion from that talk is that
had Parkers eliminated the locals,
the school might have had trouble
avoiding sub-district competition.
