PLAN IS BEING PUSHED ON IN
 CONGRESS CIRCLES

The Juneau Townsend Club met last night, and during their busi- ness session, listened to an address by Senator Don Carlos Brownell of Seward, who favors liberalization of allowances for aged and deserv- ing residents.
 { National headquarters of the Townsend Movement announces a new strategy to force action on the Townsend Plan in 1945. The announcement was made this week by the organizations legislative bureau. The plan, which would finance pensions for persons 50 years of age and older by means of a three per cent gross income tax, will come before the present Congress.
 Under the new strategy, Con- gressmen will be visited by Town send representatives elected in Congressional districts by their fellow townsfolk. These representa- tives are members of the Townsend National Council, elected from state councils, which, in turn, are elected from local Townsend Clubs. r Thus. the Townsend drive to win the old age pension plan will be directly in the hands of men and women democraticaily elected in each state. They will be aided by legal and legislative experts ap- pointed by Dr. Francis E. Town Esend, founder and President of the Townsend National Recovery Plan, but full responsibility will be theirs.

He asks all parents to give some of their time, no matter how busy they may be, to aiding the Boy Scouts and the Cubs. who will join the Scouts when they are l2 years old.

l After 8 years, 8 months and 6 days, the beard is no more. l Started at the beginning of the war, pledged to be kept until the end, the whistle hadn't stopped blowing when the editor scooted up the back alley to the privacy of home, where Mrs. editor wield- ed the scissors to remove the mass and the electric shaver fin lshed off the stubble. With time out for before and after shots in color, including a half-off and half-cn view, the process took over an hour.
 A glance in the mirror and the editor decided to stay home un- til after dark, which he did The next day, having heard that John Brodtkorb, local liquor dealer, had also shaved beard of some years standing, he went down to see him. They looked each other over, told each other he looked beautiful, and shook hands.
 A lot of people had hoped for a public shearing of tho editor s crop, and the editor had mulled the idea over a bit, but the end of the war and the mid-afternoon , announcement came so unexpect- edly that 1t was decided to simp- ly shave and get it over with. l On the next day, as 8 matter of historical record, the editor wrote down the remarks as made by local people as they first view ed his unadorned physiognomy. ,The remarks follow, in the exact order in which they were made. There were others, of course, but this sample is a picture of the general reaction.

Beef Steaks Coming Back

Washington, Aug. 3-(UP)-Sec- retary of Agriculture Clinton P. An- derson offered civilians today the cheering news that beef steaks and roasts are coming back" this fall and winter.
 Writing in the current issue of American magazine, Anderson said there should be "appreciably more" beef on the market soon. He listed prospects of increased production, cut-backs in military purchases and better distribution as the reasons.
 "Your butcher should be back at work this fall and winter" he said.
 Anderson warned, however, that the outlook for other foods is not so bright.
 "As things look now." he said, ''We're going to be short of eggs, pork, lard, butter, sugar and even soap, as well as chickens. until the spring of 1946 at least"
 Anderson disclosed that at the peak of the black market this spring fully one-half of the civilian supply of top-quality beef and almost 75 per cent of the chickens were being sold at illegal prices. He expressed the belief that recent government steps were slowly choking the black market to death.
 The nations food boss said the fear of being caught with food sur pluses on V-J day wa the "basic cause" of present shortages.

Wards Def
 Labor Board

Washington, Aug. 3 - (UP) - An official of Montgomery Ward and Co.,, told the War Labor Board to- day that his company would not comply with VILE orders because they are unfair, uneconomic and illegal"
 John A. Barr, manager of Wards Labor Relations, said that the boards orders violate fundamental principles of liberty"
 ''They also violate the standards laid down by Congress in the War Labor Disputes Act" he said, "and the constitutional guarantee that no one shall be deprived of life, liberty and property without due process of law"
 Montgomery Ward had been or dered to appear at 8 public hearing before the Board to explain why it had not obeyed VILE orders involv- ing maintenance of membership, dues checkoff, wage increase and other union benefits in seven of its plants.
 The plants are at Baltimore, Barre, Vt.; Washington, Pa.; Kan sas City, Mo-; Kansas City, Kan; Trenton, N. J.; and Pueblo, Colo. Eight other Ward plants are now under control of the Army because of the firms past noncompliance with WLB orders.
 Barr charged that the War Labor Board "has used deceit and ln- truths to attack the company.
 His company, Barr said, has sub- mitted its position to the courts be cause Wards wants at all times to obey the law" If the court should say that VILE orders are legal, he said, Wards will comply with them
 "In the meantime" Barr said Wards will continue to follow its established policy of fully recogniz- ing the right of its employees to SUD- port a union, but Wards will noi compel them to do so against thei, will"
