When asked whether he could sug-

said he knew of no enmity on the

explained, the attorney said, that
Thomas A. OFT, then chief deputy
marshal, had collected $500 in cam
paign funds and then diverted the
money to his own use. Upperman
said, according to Mr.. Whelan, that
he had advanced OFT $3.50 to help
cover the shortage and was being
pressed for the loan he had nego-
tlated to raise this money. OFT since

counts still are under investigation

The attorney said he told Upper
man he couldn't afford to advance
that much money.
Tells of Small Borrowings.
Asked whether he had ever lent
the officer money, Mr.. Whalen said
he could recall few times he had
let him have small sums, perhaps
81 or so each time, and thought he
could remember once when Upper
man had paid back dollar.
On one occasion, Mr.. Whelan re-
called, Upperman went to the at

to Atlanta and suggested that Mr.
Whelan get in touch with Emmitt OF

DR.. Francis E. Townsend told the

ment had dipped into politics up to

Some committee members said the
Townsend organization had moved
within range of the Corrupt Prac-

political contributions and expendi-
lures.
But Representative Duncan, DEM
ocrat, of Missouri, who raised the is
sue at a public hearing, said he had
no intention to press it.

Cormack shot back you've got

been made out showing that you

$500 Only a Start.
The elderly physician had spent
the whole day answering questions
and explaining his proposal for Fed
eral pensions of up to 5000 a month
for all persons over so.
He said he had strong doubts that
Congress would approve his bill,
but insisted that 5000 was only a
start, that he would attain that
and then press on for an even larger
amount to raise standards of living
Representative Duncan asked
the doctor whether raising money
to educate the people of the coun-
try to this plan has been a major
activity
You might call it that" DR..
Townsend replied.
After committee members had
hammered away for some time for
figure, the witness asserted that
probably s3,000O0O had been COL
lected over five years. He called
utterly untrue" an estimate of S.
100000 given the committee previ-
ously by Representative Sheppard,
Democrat, of California.
He contended vigorously he had
not deceived old people by holding
out to them hopes they would get
