CHRISTIANITY IS
 UNDERGOING TEST
Rev. Jos eph Donnelly Warns Supper Club of
 Growing Godlesness

The Rev. Joseph Donnelly, assis- tant pastor of St. Thomas Church and weekly columnist contribu- tor to The Waterbury Democrat, told members of the Catholic Mems Supper Club last night that Chris tianity may not meet the test that modern-day civilization is putting 1t to. He stressed the need of per- sonal sanctity in the lives of all men, a humber attitude towards their fellow-men, and a fuller ap- preciation of life of sacrifice.
 His topic, "The Church of the Future" stemmed from a recent procurement of the American Catholic hierarchy Christianity faces today its greatest crisis since it came out of the catacombs." He cited perils confronting the world, such as Marxism or Communism, Naziism and Fascism, Democracies and Christianity itself.
 Father Donnelly was unsparing of democracies which by their complacency and indifference have allowed social abuses to mount ev- CT higher.
 Thomas w. Scadden, chairman of arrangements for this months meeting, which was held at the Hotel Elton at 6 o'clock, presided as toastmaster.
 Vocal selections were given dur ing the program by Miss Betty Cassidy, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. T. P. Cassidy, accompanied by Miss Jean Gaffney, daughter of Judge and Mrs. John L. Gaffney.

OLD AGE PENSION
 GROUP GETS BUSY
Dr. 'T0wnsend's Organiza= ton Has Begun New
 Drive for Its Objective
BY JOHN R. BEAL limited Press Staff COrreSpOndent)

(UnlLcU ITtSS StttA NWICSRVIuChC
 Washington, Feb. 4 -(UP)- Dr. Francis E. Townsend's old age pen- sion organization began new drive today for enactment of a national pension program this year for those "who are not able to make their own laws"
 The Townsend organization cir cularized congressman with pub lication reprinting a letter from Rep. James F. O'Conor, D., Mont, to President Roosevelt. Under the headline: Congress Passes Pension Law for All Congressmen," the pub lication commented:
 'The long-awaited event has hap pened! And the President has sign- ed the bill! So now it is law. The Congress has decided to include its own members in generous pension program. There is nothing wrong in that in itself Dr. Townsend was one of the first to advocate it. but he wanted it only as a part of a general, fair and honorable retire ment program for all of our senior citizens"
 Asserting that national defense had been advanced as a reason for delaying action on the Townsend pension bill pending in the House, the publication continued:
 "Yes, but the Congress found time just prior to consideration of ST. GOO 100000 (now increased to more than $26,O0O, 900 900 ,OOO) naval ex- pansion bill to take up-by unani- nous consent, mind you-a retire ment proposal that, if applied to some 270O0,OOO other citizens, they would be more than entitled to. There was no real opposition to the proposal of pensions for congress- men,"
 Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va, in- troduced bill yesterday to repeal that provision of the new law per- mitting congressman to assume the benefits of the civil service retire ment system by notifying the dis bursting official and paying five per cent on their salaries into the fund until they are eligible to retire. In the case of those now eligible to re- tire, 8 pension could be obtained on the basis of a token" payment.
 Byrd acted on behalf of himself and Sens. Edwin c. Johnson, D., Colo, Harold H. Murton, R., O., and Josiah w. Bailey, D., N. C..
 The Townsend pension bill, for consideration of which the pension organization claims 166 signers to a House petition, carries no definite amount of monthly pension for per- sons over 60 who retire from gain full employment but provides that money raised by transactions tax be divided among those eligible.
