@. What year did DR.. Francis E.
Townsend originate his famous old
age pension bill? Just what did he
originally propose?-M. j. T.
A. In a letter to the Long Beach
(Calif) Press Telegram on September
80, 1888, DR.. Townsend proposed
pension of $3.50 month for each
person over so, the money to be spent
within the month. and to be provided
from national gross income tax. The
Townsend bill has been introduced into
every Congress since 1885. but thus
far has never been discharged from
committee. In April, 1854, DR.. Town
send, now 81, appearing at a hearing
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, predicted that Congress will
move slowly but surely toward pay
ment of old-age pensions of at least
$100 month.

The Krenlin on Trieste

Speaking through Andrei Vishinsky
the Soviet Union has sharply reversed itself
in affirming to the United Nations that it is
satisfied with the Yugoslav-Italian accord
on Trieste and that it welcomes it as
development that will contribute towards
relaxation of tension in that part Of
Europe" Certainly, whatever may be the
real motivation behind it, this about-face
is singularly striking one when measured
against the Kremlin's past position on the
issue.
Thus, throughout the postwar years,
until now, the Soviet Union has systema-
tically and persistently blocked every effort
to arrive at peaceful Trieste settlement.
Indeed, just year ago this month, again
speaking through Mr.. Vishinsky, the men
of the Kremlin rather threatfully indicated
: to the U. N. Security Council that they
would never accept the kind OF compro-
mise that has been worked out under Anglo
American sponsorship-a compromise that
has brought Yugoslavia and Italy together
in realistic and workable agreement par
titioning the area between the two.
In now suddenly asserting to all this,
the Malenkov regime has executed party
line f1ip-fiop that must be acutely embar-
RAISING to the Italian Communists, who
have been railing against the agreement as
an "evil" perpetrated by the Capitalist
imperialist warmongerS." But the Kremlin,
when confronted with such accomplished
facts, or when convinced of the profitable
ity Of backtracking on policy, has never
heSitated to cut the ground out from under
its fifth column in other lands. In that
sense, it has always regarded principle or
consistency-if in conflict with its own self
interest-as the hobgoblin Of little bourgeois
minds.
Presumably, as far as self-interest is
concerned, the Russian leaders have decided
to go along with the Trieste settlement not
only because it is a fait accompli, but also
because they are engaged at present in
promoting a rapprochement with Marshal
Tito's Yugoslav government--the worlds
only maverick or ''hereticaI Communist
regime that has made clear its determine
ton, ever since its 1948 break with the
Stain dictatorship, to remain independent
Of Moscow and align itself with the West
against threats Of aggression from any
quarter, meaning specifically Russia.
Another reason-perhaps the most inn
portant reason-wly the men Of the Krem-
& =
slav Italian accord is that the gesture fits
in with their propaganda about peaceful
co-existence" OF course, as long as they
continue to mouth lies about American
aggression" against Red China and main
tain a negative attitude toward such vital
issues as Austria. Germany and disarma-
ment, their seeming retreat from unrea-
sonableness will be most unconvincing.
Still, thing like their reversal on Trieste
ought not to be laughed of. Conceivably,
just conceivably, it may be q sign that they
are really seeking now that Stain Is dead
IA live-and-let-live understanding with
the West.

two weeks viii bring as the two great po-
litical organizations pit their supporters

In His recent column on EDO. under
the title weakness Of One -Worldism.
Constantine Brown gives us the benefit
Of his views on the failure Of Europe to
unite militarily. He does not, however.
give us also the facts from which his
deductions are made.
He tells us that the fatal weakness
Of edo lay in its implications Of the
super-state philosophy. not. as the
French claim. in the French fear of
German domination. Mr.. Brown has
presumably conducted no poll Of
French opinion. Apparently he has not
even read the results of those who
have. French voters were polled q year
ago by the French Institute of Public
Opinion on the subject of the latifica-
ton of edo. Less than half GAG per
cent? Of the voters favored ratification
The very same voters. when asked If
they favored West European Union,
voted in favor 70 per cent.
Why are Mr.. Browns conclusions so
oddly at variance with the evidence?
A clue is given us In the title Of the
article. "One-W -Worldism" is what is
called a "colored phrase kind of
naughty word. It has nothing to do
with European union and less to do
with edo.
There is a tendency for all Of us to

tionalism and the international an
alchy which has contributed to all Of
the wars in history. However, If he
feels that the majority of Americans
are on his side, let him refer to the
latest, biggest and most comprehensive
poll ever taken on the subject. The
poll was made by the Elmo Roper or
ganization and is reported In the maga-
zine t.Public Opinion Quarterly" The
.'well-charted path of nationalism"
favored by Mr.. Brown Is also favored
by per cent Of his fellow Americans.
More international cooperation, rather
than less, is favored by 73 per cent.
Perhaps Mr.. Brown and the rest Of the
per cent do not like this fact. but
I am afraid the fact will remain
nonetheless.

Two Government scientists said
today they had failed in an eff

Not that success would mean

nue. agent who has listed WASH

four-year gross income at $3.7
million admitted under cross
examination today that he could
not tell whether the great
majority of what he listed was
actually income.
Samuel w. Ford, testifying in
Boards $1.6 million income tax
evasion trial, said he has no
way of knowing, for example,
whether much Of the $500, 900
deposited in Boards accounts
could be classed as income. The
same Is true, he said. of the
many checks he listed as income.
do you think a bookmaker
operates on q one-way street
and that all the money that
comes into his hands stays
there?" Defense Lawyer Thomas
J. Kennedy asked.
.'No, sir" Mr.. Ford replied.
Losses Put at $525.
The Governments mountain
GUS pile of records lists only
$525 as gambling losses for
Beard during the years 1914
through 1947.
Mr.. Kenney questioned Mr..
Ford sharply on his reason for
listing certain deposits as in
come, and asked where the reve-
nue. agent got the information
that these deposits were income.
From the deposit slips" Mr..
Ford replied.
Mr.. Kenney then produced a
sheaf Of deposit slips, and after
pointing to several asked Mr..
Ford to say which represented
income. Mr.. Ford said he could
not tell.
Mr.. Kenney also attacked the
Governments listing as income
Boards bank exchanges totaling
SIT million for the years 1914
through 1947. During the same
period, Boards income was $3.7
million, the Government has
charged.

IF / take a $40 bill to the
bank and get two $40 bills for
it, that isn't income. is it?" Mr..
Kenney asked.
"The two $40 bills? No, SIR"
Mr.. Ford said.
The defense lawyer stressed
that Mr.. Ford was q revenue
agent--the type of agent who
normally handles civil cases, as
opposed to special agents who
handle criminal cases. He init
mated that Mr.. Ford handled
the Beard case as he would a
civil case. listing certain items
as income and leaving it to the
taxpayer to prove that they were
not income.
Mr.. Kenny also brought to

Accused Of Spying.
After the Czechs seized the
men near the border Septem-
ber II, Czechoslovakia sent the
United States a note protesting
that the Americans were taking
pictures, using binoculars and
otherwise spying. This protest
brought an American note de-
manding the release Of the
Army men.
State Department spokesman

oslovakia's decision to free the
Americans and simultaneously
disclosed that a member Of the
United States Consulate in
Geneva has protested to the Chi
nese Communist Consul there
against Red China's imposing a
life sentence on Hugh F. Red
mond, an American businessman.
The sentence was imposed Sep
tember Is at Shanghai after Mr..
Redmond was accused Of espio-
mage.

Mr.. White said that John
Shillock, in delivering the pro-
tests on behalf of the United
States, said the Chinese Com
munists were disposed to regard
all foreigners in their territory
as spies. MIR. Shillock requested
that the Reds urgently recon-
slider the case.
Mr.. White said the unusual
direct contact between American
and Chinese Communist officials
even on this low level resulted
from agreements at the Geneva

Since the early 1905 the DEM
ocrats have elected exactly two
Governors in Wisconsin. The
first was Gov. Peck-author of
"Peck's Bad Boy"-and the Sec
ond was Gov. Schmedeman. The
latter was elected in the Roose-
welt landslide of 1882. He was
not able to win a second term,
losing to Phil La Toilette in
1884. Mr.. Proxmire has been
campaigning vigorously to build
up the Democratic Party and to
win friends throughout the
State ever since his defeat two
years ago. The Democrats go
back to the last off-year elec-
ton in 1850 to give themselves
hope for q Proxmire victory.
Gov. Kohler, running against
Carl Thompson, Democrat. won
with 605,000 votes to SIS 900 for
Mr.. ThompSon-a mere matter
of 10000 as a margin Of victory.
Since President Eisenhower is
not heading the Republican
ticket this year; the argument is
made that Mr.. Proxnire should
be able to come, through.

improved, the party leaders con-
tend. by the resentment of Wis
