WASHINGTON, Dec. 1 3. An ex
minister called on the head of a la
cites' welfare organization of a Pres
byterian church in a large Pennsyl
vania town a few
days back. He-an-nounced
he had
been sent by the
Townsend people
to address that
organization. The
lady in charge,
informed him
that her organi
zation would not
receive Townsend
speakers.
After all she
had done to build
tMLI. .MALLON up a happy mor
ale within her flock, she would not
permit Mm to start thorn off chasing
300-a-month rainbows, she said.
The good ex-minister insisted. He
pointed out his cause "is the greatest
humanitarian movement since Lin
coln's proclamation." He said life was
hort and the lady would have a good
deal to answer for. if she denied this
boon to her people. The lady never
theless decided to run that chance.
Her church later sanctioned her
gamble.
This sub-surface Incident. Is known
to have, been duplicated dally, with
opposite results. In most of the large
and small church communities
throughout the country. It Is the lat
est unobserved trend of Townsend
organization tactics. Also It explains
vhy politico-statesmen hereabouts
have become increasingly apprehens
ive about It within the pRst tew
weeks.
The Townsend appeal Is clearly
catching on more and more with the
good quiet people whose-hearta- are
larger than their opportunities for
economic study.
Their meetings arc not nationally
observed. People Identified with them
seldom have national reputations
which attract national dramatic In
terest. The class involved Is not'bas-
leally that which formed the bulk of
the Long share-the-wealth Idea, the
Utopian epic or cougniin movements,

(AP) The Townsend plan Is
"cruel hoax" that can never solv
the problem of security for the aged,
said Col. K, Frank Knox, Chicago
publisher and potential Republican
presidential candidate, in an inter
view here today.
Everyone wants to see the aged
destitute cared for," he aaid, "but
to assume that we can absorb one
half the national Income for sucft
a purpose as that outlined In the
Townsend plan is preposterous. Pri
vate industry should co-operate with
the Individual In a mutual contribu
tory plan whereby the social security
of the aged will be safeguarded, but
it is certainly not matter for tlte
