reply when he was asked where
the committee would get the re
mainder of the money,
"Tho committee,' 'he said, "also
agreed to strengthen a section of
existing law providing for penalty
taxes on corporations which build
up unreasonable surpluses."
Also upproved was an amend

Conn.), to permit Insurance to be
taken out, payublo to the govern
ment, for ineeling estate taxes.
The amount of the policy would
not he counted In the estute unless
It wus greater than the estate tax.
Reverting to Iho new corporation
tax plan, Harrison said that it was
not as far-reaching as the hill pass
ed by the house, but would com
pel the distribution of corporate,
suriiluses anil therefore woufd
"carry out suggestions of the presi
dent."
The plan would make dividends
sullied to tho present normal In-
cotnu lax of 4 per cent, hut the
committee rejected suggestions for
boosting tho latter to 5 per cent.
The compromise. Harrison said,
was upproved by a:. IK to 1 vole.
Cnmtulltee sources snld Senator
Cou.cns (11., Mich.), was Iho
member who voted against the
compromise.
Byrd Satisfied
Senntor llyrd (It., Vu.), lender
of an Insurgeul group that had
been fighting high surluxos on un
distributed corporation Income,
said ho wus well satisfied with the
final agreement as It represented
no great concessions on the part
of the group.
Ilyrd said the compromise plan
would produce around $lioo,000,nuo
of revenue, or just $23,000,000 un
der the ostltnalo for the house pro

lie said tho committeo agreed
unnnlmnusly to his suggestion for
tho $1,000 exemption for small cor
porations. Ho said It would take

higher tax than It (Iocb now unless

would have been penalized. Under
existing law the small companies
pay a 121 per cent rate aim toe
larger ones 15 per cent.
Tho boost to 18 per cent, there

"Hurry" Urge Cited
The "TownsendBrami" weretlat-i
ed March 22, 1935. I
Sullivan brought out that the ap
peal to 6.000 clubs and, with urg
lngs to "hurry," suggested a "quo
ta' of 15 cents a member.
He read a number of letters
from various Townsend clubs ac
knowledging the request for funds
and noting enclosure of contrlbu-
ions.
Sullivan contended the "congres
sional fund" had a balance of about
11,000 when the "TownsendKram"
appeal was made.
How do you know mat? nr.
Townsend asked.
We know it and have the rec
ords," Sullivan replied.
Dr. Townsend denied the appeal
was discussed in the presence of
O. Otto Moore, Denver, und other
Townsend leaders and that Moore
nrotested the appeal and said he
would prosecute those who made it.
Sullivan read Into the record tes
timony taken from Moore by a sub
committee In I.os Angeles.
Moore testified he left the Town'
send organization in April, 1U35,
after about six months' membership.
Renresentat ve Collins (K-L'aiir.i,
a BUb-commlttee member, objected
lo the reading of Moore s testi
mony on the ground it already was
a part of the record. Chairman
Hell tn.Mo.) overruled the objec
tion and was sustained by the com
mittee.
Moore's testimony generally was
critical of the Townsend organiza
tion and Its methods of operation.
Moore testified that of the origi
nal $23,400 raiBed for the congres
sional action committee of which
he was a member, only S2. 404.96
uas spent by the committee during
tour months in Washington.
He also told the committee, Sul
livan recited, that "at least $10,
000" was raised through the"Town
sendgram' appeal, in addition to
the $2:1.490.
"Victories" Denied
Moure also denied there were
my notahle victories as comeiiu
il in the "Townsendgrum" and
added the lobby committee met
with "one disappointment alter an
other." He estimated "between
$2.51)0 and $4,000 was raised in
Colorado before I could stop It."
The Coloradoau s tesliinony sain
he protested to Clements and Dr.
I'ownsend against the appeal.
He quoted Clements as saying,
'We don't give a damn about the
old people."
Moore testified that .Mrs. .
Marshall of Colorado Springs, mem
ber of the committee, said "that is
a terrible thing to say." and "cried
on Dr. Townsend's shoulder."
"That is untrue and pure fabri
cation," Dr. Townsend said. "I am
very positive the lady did not cry
on my shoulder."
Moore quoted Dr. Townsend as
saying. "Well hoys, we are goine
out and raise a million and a half
dollars." but the doctor disclaim
ed any recollection of having said
il.
After listening to Sullivan's read
ing for thirty minutes or more, jDr.
Townsend stood up. - ;
"Gentlemen, this is all rhore or
less soporific," be said.
Shortly thereafter Bell recessed
the hearing for lunch.

An assertlun, immediately de
nied, that the Townsend old age

James R. Sullivan, committee
counsel, declared that $11 was
raised for a "congressional fund"
by an appeal to Townsend clubs
sent through the mails. lu. the form
of "Townseudgranis.' '
"Did you make any effort to slop
the contributions," Sullivan asked
Dr. P. K. Townsend after reading a
Townsendgram" appeal for funds.
"No." Dr. Townsend replied.
We were after contributions."
"Did you do anything to stop
this use of the mails lo defraud ?"
snapped Sullivan.
I don't courede It was use of
the mails to defraud," said Dr.
Townsend.
Sullivan contended the "Town
seudgranis" contained "fraudulent
statements," as a basis for the
plea for money.
Dr. Townsend, founder of the
movement who was on the sland
for the third day, denied knowledge
of the appeal "until after It uas
