The House Committee on Un-

Delivered in sonorous tones quite

Moseley urged the committee to
investigate four Jewish groups
namely, the American Jewish Com

said, is the espionage unit"

Still denying any anti-Semitic
temper, Gen. Moseley told the COM

position against organized Jewry''
because of its attempts to intimidate
him. Frequently, he said, he had
been warned against plans to do him
bodily harm, and at another point
he quoted James E. Campbell, pur-

saying the Jews were trying to find

Senate May Follow
House by Voting
On Townsend Plan
Proponents Are Not
Discouraged by Defect
Of Pension Measure
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Senate, it appeared today. will
follow the example of the House In
going on record on the Townsend
oid-age pension plan or some similar
proposal.
The oii! 10 pay pensions up to 5000
a month to elderly persons was de-
Stated yesterday in the House, 302
10 81.
But its congressional supporters
were undaunted. Senator Downey,
Democrat. of California said he
would offer as an amendment to the
social security program either the
Townsend plan or some other pen
sion system.
Senator Downey will get his
chance when the Senate takes up a
long list of proposed social security
changes which the House is expected
to vote on next week.
Pension Increase Favored.
Senator Pepper, Democrat. of
Florida said that if the Townsend
bill failed to pass the Senate, he
would try to increase eld-age as
sistance to $40 a month for single
persons and $50 for married couples.
Senator Borah, Republican, of
Idaho, commenting on House defeat
of the Townsend measure, suggested
that $50 month for the aged was
mot only humane, but economically
sound"
Townsend advocates have esti-
mated the plan would produce $50
a month at the start for 5000 900
persons over 60 years old, from its
graduated tax on business trans
actions.
Their leader, DR.. Francis E.
Townsend, vino witnessed the House
defeat of his bill from the gallery,

NEW ORLEANS, July 21.-Gov.
Earl K. Long and Mayor Robert s.
Maestri of New Orleans were united
today in an effort to save the old
Huey Long political machine from
wreckage.
Earl, brother of the late King
fish" and Mayor Maestri, Huey's
early financial backer, are the two
remaining of the four principal
heirs of Huey's formerly well-or-
dered domain. Ex-Gov. Richard w.
Leche, titular chief executive, has
resigned, and Seymour Weiss, some
times called No. political man in
Louisiana. is under Federal mail
fraud charges.
Gov. Long yesterday took occa-
sion during speech in North
Louisiana to decry Shreveport and
Monroe newspaper attacks on Mayor
Maestri.
They branded the fairest and
squarest man in the State as an
oil crook" Gov. Long said. HE is
100 per cent honest They've de-
cided the only way to get Earl Long
is to ruin Bob Maestri. He's given
more constructive work as Mayor
of New Orleans in three years than
any one else ever gave in 40 years.
Mayor Maestri. in New Orleans,
said he was interested in "a num-
ber of oil ventures" but that all
his activities were done legally and
honestly"
Gov. Long. with the backing of
Mayor Maestri. is a candidate for
Governor in the January, 1910,
Democratic primary. Mayor Maestri
is head of the powerful political or
ganization Huey welded In New Or
leans
Earl, in seeking to weld the frag-
ments of the political machine, is
promising thorough reform in State
government. He repledged himself
in his address at Homer yesterday
to clean up graft and corruption"
Meantime, the Federal grand jury
here and the East Baton Rouge
Parish grand jury in Baton Rouge
continued their inquiries into
charges Of governmental irregulari-
ties, particularly involving louisiana
State University. Occupying atten-
ton at the inquiry in Baton Rouge
was the L. S. U. athletic depart
ment, which doomed after Huey
Long took a hand in its affairs nine
years ago. Called before the jury
was T. P. (Red Heard, athletic d.
rector, who brought along record
books.
AS three special attorneys L. S. U.
hired TO represent it in civil matters
growing out of the present scandal
made plans to bring action for re-
covery of any money which may
have been illegally taken from the
school. a producing oil well was
brought in yesterday only q short
distance from q well being drilled

pressed the belief there was virtual

cured for L. S. U.

prohibiting a member Of Congress
from making an audible public
speech" or spending money for but
tons, circulars or placards.
Representative Parsons proposed
that newspapers and periodicals be
prohibited from accepting money
for political advertisements and
from printing opinions on political
campaigns.
Not to be outdone, Representative
Sacks, Democrat, of Pennsylvania
suggested that no political party be
permitted to publish political plat
form which promises the voters
anything"
Amid loud outlaws, all three Of
these amendments were killed.
Long Controversy.
The legislation, growing out Of a
Senate investigation into 1898 po-
litical campaigns, stirred up con-
troversy long before yesterdays
rough-and- tumble debate. Shortly
after the Senate passed it weeks ago
Vice President Garner told reporters
they could write that it would be-
come law this session.
It's advocates said frankly that
one purpose was to keep any Federal
administration from dominating ma
tional political conventions through
selecting as delegates such ap-
pointees as marshals and United
States attorneys.
The provision causing the great
est argument in the House was Mr..
Dempsey's amendment to bar ON
cials from political campaigns or
management.
Without this prohibition, he said,
you'll open the door to every ONCE
boy and girl to take their coats of
and get busy for the political party
in power"
Representative Hobbs, Democrat,
of Alabama, supporting the commit
tees draft Of the bill, said Congress
should strike at coercion and corrup-
ton but not "at the root of our
fundamental liberties" He declared
the committee version was all that
was needed to end "pernicious iAflu-
ences."
In reply, Representative Dirksen,
Republican, of Illinois said the leg
islation would be "disemboweled"
without the Dempsey amendment.
10-Hour Debate.
The 10-hour debate was filled with
parliamentary maneuverings by op-
penents, but sponsors of the bill
showed their strength on one test
vote after another. Gallery visitors,
leaning forward to follow the argu-
ments, stayed past the dinner hour.
At one point Representative Mich
OILS, Democrat, of Oklahoma sarcas-
tically congratulated the members
for their fearless craftsmanship" In
leaving Office holders the right to
vote.
Mr.. Nichols was successful in writ
ing into the bill a prohibition against,
Federal employment of persons ad-
vocating overthrow Of the Govern
ment by force and violence. It car
ried, 245 to 1853.
This is one of the amendments on
which the Senate will have to act.
The others are concerned largely
with changes In phraseology.

L. r. Scarborough of Fort Worth,
Tex, as paramount objective for
the 9Th Congress of the Baptist
World Alliance opening Saturday
AS president Of the Southern
Baptist Convention, DR.. Scarborough
heads nearly 100000 Baptists. He
announced the question of a world
religious movement would be brought
before the congress by committee
led by himself and DR.. G. Pitt Beers
Of New York. He predicted unan-
imously favorable action.
1--WE believe with President Roose-
velt," he said, that the worlds
greatest need is a revival Of spiritual
religion. 1t would do more than
anything else to solve the problems
now tormenting the world-threats
Of war, friction between capital and
labor, racial persecution and most of
the other ills of civilization.
"The promotion of evangelism
throughout the world would reach
the heart of the whole problem
Other things, as important as
they may be, are incidental and
subordinate"
A world religious revival, DR.. Scar
borough said, would In effect be an
extension Of movement begun last
year by the Southern Baptist Con-
vention resulting In a net increase
Of 174,000 church members in little
