DIR. TOWNSEND APPEASES

Senator DoWney of California and Dr. Francis Townsend are pals once more. They split dur ing the campaign.
 The gaunt tycoon of the old age pension movement, after wan gling a letter from Senator Me Nary which promised nothing, but which Townsend claimed was an endorsement of pensions, pumped for Wendell Willkie. Whersupon, Doney who is No. 1 ToWnsendite on Capitol Hill, and who had been cool to the third term, jumped vigorously into the fray on the Presidents side.
 And the Californian cut a lot of ice. He not only offset the "old Doc among his followers, but was an antidots to Senator Hiram Johnson when he came out for Willkie. DoWney also put in some telling ticks for Senator Bob LaFollete in his very uncer- tain battle for reelection.
 Townsend, who tries to run his movem mt with an iron fist, was very peeVed at DoWney's in dependence and hen the Senator tried to see the "old Doc" in Chic ago during the campaign, Town send gaVe him the cold shoulder. But the election returns changed ToWnsends mind.
 This was the second president ial fight in which he took lick ing. In 1886 he had teamed up with Father Coughlin behind Will liam Lemke, who wound up with a f=W hundred thousand votes Also the big Democratci Congres sion9l victory as no sOlace to Townsend. So he hotfooted it to Washington and hat in hand, went to DoWney's office and made his peace.
 However, he still has to pla- cate a number of Democratic m-mbers of the pension bloc in the House. During the campaign some of them talked of replacing Townsend with someone more politically adept

The Washington Merry-Co-Round
By Drew Pearson and Robert 5. Allen

WASHINGTON-Dies Commit tee agents have secretly warned government authorities to be on guard against an outbreak of sa- botage in defense plants on the West Coast.
 According to the Dies-men, big gest U. s. dang-r spot is Los An geles, where tNazi and fifth col umnists have been unusually ac- tive of late. The Los Angeles area contains one of the largest concentrations of defense work in the country.
 One reason for the D-men's fear was their discovery of a secret mailing list of 2,500 names in a raid on the Los Angeles headquarters of thz- German-Am erican Bund. Herman SchWinn, West Coast Bund fuehrer admit ted under questioning that the list consisted of Nazi sympathiz CTS who regularly attended Bund meetings.
 A check-up of namcs revealed the startling fact that 800 of them are employed in airplane plants, shipyards, oil refneries, auto factories and other key de- fense industries.
 One of the thicksst dossiers in the Dies Committee files con- cerns SchWinn and his activities. dating back to 1924, when he en tered the country as a German immigrant. Among the items in his long record is an account of an extraordinary speech SchWinn made recently to Bundists in Hin denburg Park, Los Angeles.
 Shrieking defiance against a Federal Court order revoking his citizenship, SchWinn is recorded as saying, AS long as I have voice and a mike, I will damn well say what I please. The per secutions 1 have gone through in this country have made be a bet ter German than 1 was before. They cannot stop us thinking, and feeling here is becoming stronger for Germany every day.
 There will be a new world or der guaranteed by Germany, It. ally and Japan, and the new or der will come whether Churchill and Roosevelt like it or not"

r=fused to consider it.
 "Who could I send over in your place, Joe?" he protested.
 Kennedy contended that he was not needed in London. "Jud- ging by the amount of work I turned in the last two months over th5re,' he argued I'd say almost anyone could qualify for the job. You gnow like to keen busy, but all 1 d d over there wss to sit around and watch the war
 But Roosevelt rejected this ar gument and insisted that Kon- nedy think it over for a couple of weeks" From his private re- mars since then, Kennedy still seems determined to quit.
 Sevsral very tempting busi- ness offers have been made to him; one from a large newspaper chain which he helped refnance several years ago. He has made no final decision, but returning to London definitely seems the last thing he intends to do.

SPANISH BRIBE

The career clique of fascist minded appeasers inside tn e State Department has dwindled in size and strength since Flu ropes tragic history proved the fallacy of their course in Spain. However, they are still strong =nough to urge a loan Cor gift) of S100,000,030 from the Export Import Bank to General Franco, dictator of Spain.
 Furthermore, it may be that the career clique will get away with it.
 They urge that the hundred millions be advanced to Spain in order to kezp France from com ing 10 war against England. They 2 aim that if Spain has enough food, the country will remain neutral. And it is the British, whose fumbling in Spain was ev en more responsible than ours for the present danger to Gib- raltar, who now want the United States to bail them out with a hundred million dollars.
 Confidential military reports from Spain, however, indicate 3 things: 1st, the Spanish people are so fed up with three years of bloody civil war that they won't fight in any foreign war not of their choosing; End, Spain is so badly defended that her harbors would be easy targets for the British fleet; 3rd, the Spanish people actually are near revolt, which is the secret reason why Franco wants the hundred million. Without food, the old Loyalist government might come back again.
 In other words it look as if the career clique inside the State Departm.nt is still trying to keep in power the man they sec ret y backed during the Spanish civil war.
 NOTE-It is unlikely that Hit Ter wants Spain to come into the war-yet. Srain has been too val 97ble as 3 neutral through which

LATEPARDON FOR
PARKER SOUGHT
"Small Town Detective"
Dies in PrisOn-InvOlved
in Lindbergh Case

MT. Holly, N. j., Feb. 5.-(UP9.-
A posthumous pardon was sought
today for Ellis H. Parker, SO, the
"smal, town detective" who went to
prison for Kidnapping while trying
to solve the Lindbergh kidnapping
Parker died yesterday in the fed
eral penitentiary at LewiSburg. Pa,
of brain tumor which had paral-
yzed his left side.
Parker and his son, Ellis H.. Jr.,
were serving time for abducting
Paul H. Wendell, Trenton, N. j..
lawyer. Parker forced him to con-
fess kidnapping Charles A. Lind
bergh, Jr., which brough a three
day reprieve for Bruno Richard
Hsuptmann.
Parker's death, with his son at his
side, came while United States At
torney John j. Quinn who sent him
to jail, was planning to sign his Pc
tition for pardon. Quinn will sign 1T
anyway.
Parker was credited, with solving
some 800 crimes during his 46-year
career as detective of Burlington
county. His motive in abducting
Wendell probably never will be
known, but at the time the prosecu-
ton charged that 1t was all polit-
ical move to get New Jersey Gov.
Harold G. Hoffmn nominated for
the Republican candidate for vice.
president of the United States.
Ironically, the Parkers were among
the first persons convicted under the
Lindbergh law.
Hoffman was pushing a drive to
get a pardon for Parker. The for
mer governor cancelled several
speaking engagements and trip to
washington when he heard of
Parker,s death. He said:
HE was a loyable American gem
tleman. He entered the Lindbergh
case at the request Of Coy. A.
Harry Moore soon after the kidnap-
irg. When I became governor, he
was continuing his Investigation,
following theory with which ]
did not agree but to which he firm-
ly chung down to the moment OF
his DEATH"
Parker's body lay in an undertake
ers' establishment here, where it
was brought from the prison by his
widow and six other members of his
family. Funeral services probably
will be held Wednesday.

Republicans Further Up
set By Internal Com=
plicatiOns

The tangled local Republican par
ty situation went into further COM
plications today when it was learned
that an influential group within the
party is seeking to have Town

slider his announced decision Of re-

Thus far the group has been un-
successful in It's efforts Nh Epson
standing by his decision to with

ton within the next few weeks. It
is planned to bring additional pres
sure, however, to have the chair
man change his mind and be a can
didate for reelection.
The Upson hackers are aided in
their campaign by tine failure OF the
wing headed by former Mayor Pa
trick M. Perriello to agree on a
candidate to back for the town
craftsmanship. The names of sew
eral have been brought up, but as
yet there has been no agreement.
Opposition to Mr.. Epson, which
had been strong within the G. o. P.
ranks, reached its climax last fall
following the, refusal of the town
committee to back Mayor Perriello
for the mayoralty nomination. An
independent Republican party was
formed when indignation was its
height but later it Withdrew from
the field.
Mr.. Upson's prestige within the
party then suffered drop when the
ticket he had favored with Charles
G. Foster as TIE candidate for may

HOOK NOT
APOLOG|zING
Forged Letters in Con-
gressiOnal Record Bone
of Contention

Washington, Feb. 5-CUP)-Rep.
Frank Hook, D., Mich. today told
the house rules committee that he
will not apologize for inserting in the
record forged letters which pur-
ported to show some understanding
between Rep. Martin Dies, D., Tex,
and William Dudley Policy, Silver
Shirt leader.
The letters, according to the Dies
committee, were forged by David G.
Mayne, who once was sent by the
committee to Ashville, N. c. to at
tempt to locate Policy.
II am not in position at this
time to concede anything" said
Hook. 1--WE come to the conclusion
that even though the documents
were forged, still according to strict
Interpretation of parliamentary law,
there is not a violation of the rules
of the house."
The rules committee was consider
ing resolution by Rep. Glare Hoff-
man, r., Mich, to expunge Hooks
remarks from the record. Hoffman
pressed for approval of his resolu-
ton
mot only the integrity of men,
Der of the house, but his usefulness
as member, his integrity and that
of the house and the (Dies) COM
mittee, was held up to public ridi-
cule," Hoffman said.
'These things in the Congressiona.
Record are given undue weight BY
the people of this country. People
read the record and assume tina
these articles are true" .s
Hook Replied that cas- long as
have any neutral reservations can.
not conscientiously accede to thu
request" for an apology to the house
Several times Hook refused to con-
cede that the Pelley letters were
forgeries. He said he did not know
that Harold Weisburg purchased the
letters from Mayne for sos until
some time after this became public. -
Hook obtained the letters from
Weisberg. He said SO far as he knew
until recently-Gardner Jackson,
legislative representative of the CLIO
Labor's Non-Partisan league, had
never seen the letters. Jackson pro-
vided the money to pay Mayne for
the letters.
Hook said Weisberg told him when
he delivered the letters that Mayne
had been working for him.
