GREATER THAN PARTIES

Editor ASkov American:
Back of the Townsend Recovery
Plan are issues so great and so fun
damental that all sense of party 10y
atty or partisan advantages fades into
insignificance. This is a most des-
perate struggle to save America and
American ideals. There is the issue
of unemployment to be solved, the
issue of the right of men to work,
the right of youth to its place in the
sun and to select its own way of
life. In it, too, is the issue of civil
liberty, the right of men to worship
as they please and speak and print
as they desire. So DR.. Townsend
spoke the great truth when he an
nounced that it meant more than the
Magma Charta, the Declaration of
Independence or the Constitution
for it is only through this plan that
these liberties can be saved
After 10 years of effort the num-
Der of unemployed remains at the II
million mark, who are today without
jobs and who live on charity or a
dole. Private business has not solved
this problem, the government has
not solved it, nor can it be solved

is difficult to put the pension pro-
gram on a sound financial basis un-
less collection can be guaranteed
from the property which the old folks
had accumulated.
Does not this lead to the rather
ridiculous position that assistance
for the aged who have not accu-
mulated any real property is finan-
cially unsound? Or is the governor
contending sound financial old age
assistance program requires that those
old folks who have been thrifty and
frugal and acquired property shall
also carry the burden of those who
have not acquired property? Or is
he attempting to say that the present
generation is financially unable to
care for its aged and must, to put
our present old age assistance pay
ments on sound financial basis, rely
on the property accumulations of
their elders?
1t is a rather interesting and i'm
portant question to consider. In my
opinion, the fortunate choice of a
place" for the discussion of this sub
ject is before people who approve, as
well as before people who disapprove
of the present law. Certainly it can
properly be discussed before persons
like the county commissioners who
understand the operation of the law.
If we are going to rectify and cor
rect laws, we should not be running
around seeking for fortunate
choice" of place for speech where
everyone agrees with the thoughts
expressed. That is usually a waste
of effort. Some of the county COM
missioners help to administer the
old age assistance law as members
of the county welfare boards. All
of the commissioners are familiar
with the workings of the law. What
more fortunate" place could be sug-
gested to discuss this important issue.

except by an increase of buying
power, and the distribution of labor
by age instead of by hours. The
Senators and Congressman who met
in Washington with DR.. Townsend
understand the problem. They know
that he advanced the great truth
when he proposed that workers re-
tire from gainful occupation and
spend. They knew that he spoke an
even greater truth when he declared
that we have passed the problem of
production and in a very few years
have reached the machine age, which
relieves labor of its hardships and
furnishes the nation with more food,
clothing and shelter than the nation
has the power to purchase.
More significant is the reception
given the Townsend Recovery Plan.
Five years ago DR.. Townsend was
called visionary and dreamer.
Today he is welcomed everywhere
as the most able of statesmen. Every
great movement, all that went be-
fore the Magma Charta, all that pre-
coded the Declaration of Independ-
ence, all that gave birth to the Con-
stitution-all had the same exper-
fence. The Republican party was
born in the efforts of Abraham Lin
coin to establish the fact that this
country could not longer exist, half
slave and half free. Today a new
slogan is sounded. 1t is that this
nation can not exist half in poverty
and half in luxury.
So these Senators and Congress-
men from both major parties have
declared that the Townsend Recovery
Plan is the one important issue be-
fore the American people. What
their influence will be within their
own parties in the next few months
remains to be seen.

he hoped farmers won't be flushed

rolling in luxury, but I imagine

HAINES CITY, Fla, March 49,
Hal Quick, half of the fancy-fielding
1899 Greenville keystone combina-
tion of Quick and Eddie Leip, was
en- route to the Mats training camp
today for, as President Clark Grif-
fifth explained, protection purposes.
Griffith announced that Quick had
been ordered to report shortly after
Jimmy Pofahl, expensive shortstop
from Minneapolis, had been shaken
up during yesterdays game with
Kansas City by collision with
Umpire McCutcheon, an American
Association arbiter.
Although Pofahl and Trainer Mike
Martin maintained there were no
after effects, Griffith decided to call
Quick, who this year was ticketed
to play in Springfield. The inflelder
finished last year with the Mats, i'm
pressing with his defensive play.
Pofahl was hurt in the sixth in
ming, when he raced to take a throw
from Right-fielder Buddy Lewis at
second base. Watching the ball,
Jimmy struck Base Umpire Nc
Cutcheon's shoulder and went down.
He was dazed for few minutes,
but resumed play, although Jimmy
Bloodworth batted for him in Wash
ington's half of the frame and fin
ished the game at shortstop.
Pofahl, however, still is suffering
from slightly sore arm and while
he insists the collision did not aggra-
vate it, Martin admitted that the
accident probably didn't help any"

D. T.. Badminton P|ay
Nears Title Stage
In All Classes
Shreve, Roiney Advance
And Will Meet When
Action Is Resumed

Lacking only one name to contain
complete quarter and semifinal set
ups in mems and womens' singles,
respectively, the Districts ninth an
nual badminton tournament will
mark time for the nonce before
competition is resumed tomorrow
night at Kensington National Guard
Armory. No matches are scheduled
this evening.
Third-seeded Bill Shreve's 15-7,
1873 rout of Dallas bort and Bill
Raineys $50, OILS, 1873 conquest
of Bob Bryson last night sent the
winners into the same bracket
where they will meet when play is
renewed.
They were the only singles
matches played, the rest of the eve
ning's activities being devoted to
women's and mixed doubles. Char
lotte Decker and Jenny Turnbull
defeated Ruth johnson and Polly
Thompson, 1910, 1912, and Frances
Rowan and Harriet Harrington
downed Dorothea Catlett and Fran
ces Wilson, 1910, 1872, In execlu-
sively women's play.
In the mixed tournament the
Thompson -Shreve combination
proved too much for the all-Wil-
son team, 1875, 1910, while an
all-Johnsen team bowed to the
Harrington Mackall combine, 1912,
1874. A third match found Nor
ment and Edwards defeating Ryan
and Donohoe, 1873, 10-15, 15-S.
