OF San Quentin Prison
By the Associated Press,

!
SAN QUENTIN, Calf, Feb. A.

graphed from San Francisco by the
Marine Firemens Union for a
sweeping investigation" of condi-
tions at San Quentin Prison, while
all but 1873 of the $500 convicts were
back at work after a strike against
''monotonous diet"
Tom Mooney, released from San
Quentin Prison January on par
don after serving % years for the
1916 San Francisco preparedness

labor rally last night that the budget
program of former Gov. Frank F.
Merriam had resulted in the food
allowance being cut in half" at the
prison.
The telegram addressed to the
Governor by the marine firemen
urged him for humanitys sake to
intercede on behalf of the striking
San Quentin prisoners and to see
that the food and the conditions
accorded the prisoners are made
tolerable."
Ostensible cause of the strike
Wednesday was revolt against

Warden Court Smith said the
rebellion dwindled yesterday when
guards went through the prison, a

Germany to enable German motor
trucks to rush over the material as
quickly as possible.
Italy Aids Hungary.
The same situation exists in re-
gard to Hungary. This country
has been prevented by the treaty
of Trianon from having a modern
army. Mussolini, long before he en-
tered into the present association
with Berlin, reckoned on Hungary
as a military ally in the event of
war with Yugoslavia; before 1896
Mussolini had hoped to dominate
the Danubian basin and considered
the Belgrade government as the
main obstacle to his aims. He sent
arms and ammunition to Budapest
under the guise of agricultural
machinery. He also sent machinery
to enable the Hungarians to manu-
facture their own planes.
Late in 1886 the German Hun
garian Irritation began. Hitler
started sending arms and tanks to
Hungary through Vienna. He sent
them heavy artillery, too. More was
sent after the annexation of Austria
Then he began to slow down. He
needed everything that Germany
produced for the Munich coup, he
explained.
After Munich the situation
changed. He looked upon Hungary
with more suspicion than he looked
on Yugoslavia. War material ceased
to pour into Hungary.
Part of Army Impotent.
The country was equipped to send
into the field 10000 men. When
the partition of Czecho- -Slovakia oc-
Cured the Hungarians mobilized
100000 men. Only one-fifth could
be considered as actual fighting
troops. The rest lacked tanks and
adequate artillery. And since the
fateful days of October the Hun
garian Army has not improved as
far as war paraphernalia is con-
cerned. On the contrary. 1t is true
that the country, which has larger
industry than Yugoslavia, is making
strenuous efforts to manufacture its
own equipment, but it goes slowly.
The airplane factory is producing
with difficulty a few planes every
month. 1t has its own anti-aircraft
gun, which is supposed to be one
of the best in Europe, but here
again the production facilities are
limited. The army has heart but
no ornaments. The Roman friends
of Hungary would like to help along,
but they are afraid of antagonizing
the Fuehrer Mussolini has &C
cepted Hitler as the No. / man in
Europe and does not want to cross

Death Ends Career of Priest
Who Aided Lepers in China
Father Connors, c. U.
Graduate, Was in
u. S. on Visit

Three months ago. the Rev. Fran
els j. Connors. M. NJ, 38-year-old
graduate of Catholic University and
director of the only Catholic leper
asylum in South China, paid what
he believed would be his last visit
to Washington, certain of ultimately
succumbing to dreaded disease he
was fighting in China.
His prediction came true yester-
day, not at the Maryknoll Mission s
leprosarium in the province of
Kwangtun to which he was about to
return, but at the Misericordia Hos
pital in Philadelphia, where he died
after an operation.
Word of the tragedy, which was
believed to have been caused from
an old infection after an operation
in China, in 1881, came last night to
Father Connors' boyhood companion,
William F. Carlin of 1928 Sligo avenue,
Silver Spring, Nd, who was Father
Connors' host during his visit here
in November.
Plans to Return Delayed.
Father Connors had planned to re-
turn to China at the first of the
year. but the war there had pre-
vented him from arranging for re-
entry. Recently the difficulties were
surmounted and he planned to sail
from San Francisco after recovering
from his operation.
Father Connors had spent II years
in China, seven of which he worked
among the 100000 lepers in South
China. At Mai Moon, the seat of
the present leprosarium, he began

Johnson Faces Quiz
On Plan 10 Finance
Age Pensions
Dr.. Townsend Is Here
To Answer Charges
At House Hearing

The House Ways and Means Com
mittee planned today to cross
examine Arthur L. johnson, execu-
tive secretary of the General Wei
fare Federation, about feasibility OF
the federation's proposal to levy z
per cent tax on gross incomes over
500 a month to finance a pension
of $50 to $50 month for every
American over so.
Meanwhile, DR.. Francis E. Town
send came to the Capital to advo-
cate his rival old-age pension plan
before the committee next week
and to direct attempts to refute
charges of 'insincerity" and fraud
hurled at his movement by Cen
eral Welfare bill advocates.
Under questioning by committee
members, Mr.. johnson and Repre-
sentative Sheppard, Democrat, of
California, who introduced the Cen
eral Welfare bill in the House, said
they had sponsored the federation
program because they doubted the
sincerity and honesty of the Town
send movement, with which both
once were connected.
Charges Are Denied.
Vigorous denials of these charges
were issued by spokesman for the
Townsend Recovery Plan, Inc,
whose supporters will be given a
hearing next week by the Ways and
Means Committee as it continues
study of all proposals to change the
Social Security Act.
DR.. Townsend has considered his
proposals mention of $200-a-
month maximum pension as some
thing like hitching your wagon to
a star-something to work toward
whether you can reach it or not
the spokesman said. Nevertheless,
he added, the organization has in
sisted for year or more that any
mention OF $200-a- month pensions
except as a ceiling" was erroneous.
Mr.. johnson charged yesterday
that the Townsendites had been
holding out hopes of S200-a-month
pensions to old people as lure" in
a fashion he considered indicative
of pure fraud" He said it had been
estimated the Townsend transac-
tions tax plan would not yield PEN
sions of more than S58 month.
Mr.. johnson argued before the
committee yesterday that substitu-
ton of the federation's gross income
tax and universal pension proposal
for the old-age insurance and as
sistance provisions of the Social Sc
curity Act would provide greater
security for all" and stimulate pros
perity.
DR.. Brown Name Adviser.
Committee members began ques-
tioning him about soundness of the
financing plan when it was decided
to recess and resume today what Mr..
johnson termed the cross s-examina-
ton"
After hearing advocates of other
pension plans, the Ways and Means
Committee plans to return to study
Of the Social Security Boards rec
concentrations for more modest eX-
tension and liberalization of the act.
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau announced yesterday he has
chosen DR.. j. Douglas Brown of
Princeton University to act as his
special adviser on social security
matters while Congress is consider
ing changes in the legislation.
