We would have to examine each citizen for his cltlMnshlp and age, as we examined applicants for tho army.' Would we have much trouble drafting people to take this pension, Senator Connelly (D Tex.) asked sarcastically. Oh now," Townsend said.

"No. It would decrease the cost. "Though there would be a two per cent tax on every part?" Har rison asked.

MEDFORD, YALE COLLECTION NEW HAVEN, Conn. (UP) Yale University possesses one of the most extensive collections of original Babylonian literature In the world more than 21.000 Items extending over a period between 3.000 and 4.000 years before the Christian era. The collection Includes materials from libraries of cities of the time of Abraham, about 2000 B. C, and such religious texts aa epics, hymns. prayers, syllabaries, and mathemati cal and medical treaties. There also are records of legal and business transactions, personal and official letters of ktngA and adminis trative documents from the archives of Babylonian temples. The personal Inscriptions of about 35 kings of Babylonia and Assyria are on exhibi tion. One inscription of Nebuchadnezzar refers to the restoration of temples and wails In and near Babylon, in cluding the tower of Babel, and re lates he beheld the Inscribed atones of Naram-Sln, who lived 2.000 years before his time. One of these stones waa found at the place described, enabling historians to determine the location of ancient Marad. The legal aspect of tthc . parable of the Prodigal Son never was sur mised until the prototype of 'the Code of Hammurabi was discovered. The fourth of the nine laws in the tablet read: ' If a son say unto his father and his mother, 'not my father, not my mother,' from the house, field, plantation, servants, property, animals he shall go forth; and his portion, to Its full amount, he (the father) shall give htm. His father and mother shall say to htm 'not our son; from the neighborhood of the house he shall go." Receiving his portion of the estate, he ceased to be a legal son, the tic having been annulled by the fourth law. Asked To Help Robert E. Wood (above), Chlcagc business man, was asked by Presi dent Roosevelt to organize an advis ory committee to consult with him In the spending of the proposed work relief fund.
