Our Townsend Club No. IL met
Monday night Sept. 21st with a
large number present. The night
was bright and the air was balnly
and everyone seemed to enjoy be-
ing out.
So many if our members were
glad to express their feelings to-
wards our Townsend National Re-
covery Plan.
We are still making great pro-
gress and we are nearing the goal
today. Than ever before. Senat-
ors and Congressman moved rap
idly to break the lad jam on Pen
sion Legislation in Congress. A
group Of senators and congress-
men of both major parties have
made an appeal to the President
of the United States to act on our
bill, and we r praying and hop
ing that he will do so in the near
future. Members Of Congress
realize that only President Roose-
welt can break the Legislative Log
Jam.
They are calling his attention to
the fact that now the twi bills are
out of the way, the time has come
for Congress and the Nation to
consider the plight of the Senior
citizens of the United States of A
| merica. There airs scores Of Con-
gressmen who will join in this APP
peal and | am glad some body has
started the ball rolling. We are
still on our drive for more mem
bers and more blubs to help put

Plan into the laws If the land.

WILLIAM "A STILL
~COLLABORATES ON
MUSICAL WORK

New York, Sept 26-(ANP) Wills
liam Grant Still, noted composer,
and Miss Katherine Garrison Cha
pin, white, for the second time,
have collaborated on an American
composition scored for orchestra,
based on Miss Chapin's poem
"Plain Chant for America" and
dedicated to President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. John Barbirolli, white,
plans to introduce it during the
New York Philharmonic-Sym-
phony orchestra centennial. Their
first collaboration was brought by
DIR. Allan Locke. Miss Chaplin is,
in private life, the wife Of United
States Atty. Gen. Francis Biddle.
Early this year, Mr.. Barbirllis
suggested that Mr.. Still write
something especially for the con-
tennial, and the composers first
thought was to offer orchestral
suite. Having planned and compile
ted the suite, Nh. Still decided that
something more significant was
needed for the occasion, and re-
membered Miss Chapin's poem.
Sometime before, he had promised
to set the verse to music, after
their collaboration of "And They
Lynched Him on a Tree", which
was presented at Lewisohn stad-
ium in California.
The score had originally plan
ned an orchestral prelude and in
terlude to set off the two main
| sections of the solo, but upon Mr..
! Barborilli's suggestion, a postlude
was written to complete the orig
inal thought.
Said Miss Chaplin, author Of
'Time Has No Shadows, and
"Outside of the World, "The
success of my collaboration with
William Grant Still in his setting
Of my ballad poem Sand They
Lynched Him On a Tree, his dra-
matte and lyrical ability, his fine.

together in keeping colored out of the
majors for all time.
But thinking it over what's Lands

example as bad as Jack Dempsey as

Both these so called Americans are

Each year Mr.. Lands rants and raves
for justice concerning everyone EXCEPT
colored players. He's had nuremous
petitions; ignoring them all.
And what is the story of the New

Hitler so much different?
