JANUARY 24, PAGE FTVHi UNKNOWN AGENT Based On Theory Disease Results From Lack . of Single Unidentified Sub stance in Gastric Juices CHICAGO. Jan. 24. (AP) A new method of treating pernicious ane mia, based on a theory that the disease Is caused by a lack of a single unknown substance In the gastric Juices, was announced today by Dr. E. A. Greenspon of Montreal, Can. It consisted of preparations of gas tric Juice and animal stomach linings from which was removed tneir natural pepsin, the digestive agent which Dr. Oreenspon ssld killed the action of the antl-pernlclous anemia substance. The Identity of the substance la as yet undetermined, Dr. Greenspon said in the Journal of the American Medi cal Association. It has been vari ously described In the past aa a hor mone and an enzyme. - Dr. Greenspon described his treat ment, which he said would be ad ministered by mouth or hypodermic Injection, as a simplification of one evolved earlier by Dr. w. B. Castle notable experimenter In this field. Castle held that nature prevented pernicious anemia normally through a substance secreted by the gastric Juices and from the stomach walls. He contended It was necessary for this substance to combine with an other, probably a protein, to be ef-fectlve. His treatment, therefore, consisted of a preparation of gastric Juices and around beef. Dr. Greenspon aald his experiments showed that untreated gastric Juices were Ineffective because the pepsin counteracted the antl-pernlclous ane mia agent. The beef protein used by Castle combined with the pepsin and thus removed It, he declared. SLAYER OF OFFICER FACING LIFE TERM PORTLAND, Jan. 24. P A.

P) Hete I are the answers to some questions ! frequently asked In connection with the bill to pay off adjusted service (bonus) certificates In cashable fc5C bonds: - Q If I hold a certificate how do 1 apply for bonds? A An application may be filed with the veterans' administration In Washington at any time before th certificate matures In 1945. A veteran may send his application personally or through a representative prescrib ed In regulations yet to be issued. Q If I haven't applied for a cer tificate, may I do so? A Yes. The application should be sent to the same place. Q Suppose death Intervenes after application for bonds Is-made? A The application will be valid If the veterans administration finds It bears the bona -fide signature of the applicant and discloses an intention to claim the benefits of the act. If death occurs after application is filed but before receipt of bonds, the bonds will go to the estate of the veteran. q what happens after bond ap plications are filed? A The veterans' administration will certify to the treasury the amount of $50 bonds due a veteran. The amount will be the full 1945 maturity value 6f the certificate minus the principal of any loans out standing against It and any unpaid Interest accrued prior to octoner i, 1931. If a veteran owes any interest for loans after October 1, 1931, it Is cancelled. Q Suppose this interest Is owed to a bank, not to the government? A The government assumes th obligation, paying off the Interest, Q When do I get my bonds? A As soon as the treasury can print them and mail them In ac cordance with certificate from the veterans' administration. Q What can I do with them if- ter I get them? - A Any time after June 15 next the holder can take them to a local postofflce and cash them In full or In part. Banks will not cash them because they are special bonds and are not marketable. Q Suppose I do not cash them right away? A You will get 3 per cent annual interest until 1945, but If you cash them the first year after next June 15 no Interest is paid. Q-Can a creditor f a veteran get possession of the bonds? A The bill says they are not sub ject to attachment, levy or seizure under any legal process. Q How many bonus certificates are in the hands of veterans? A They are held by 3.500.000 vet erans of the World war. The average face value Is $960. Are you a member of Ethelwyn B. Hoffmann's HOSIERY CLUB? Join Now. To the Editor: In a UU issue of your valuable paper there appeared an article en titled "Republican Leader Explains Why Townsend Plan Won't Work." For , pendantlo display of abysmal inoranoe of the subject discussed, this article certainly caps the climax. Among the many false and ridiculous statements he makes are the follow ing' First, he says, "the plan would cost the government twenty-four billion dollars a year, or six times the an nual cost of the American govern ment. This sum Is equal to one third of the totl income of the United States." In the first place the Townsend plan does not contemplate calling upon the government for a single dol lar of its present revenue, annually or otherwise It purposes to create Its own revenues from month to month, and the money Is not paid out until it is provided. In other words. It pays as It goes, leaving no debts or obligations behind. The evi dence Is cor cl us We that a two per cent transaction tax, wltb business stimulated by the expenditure of the money, as 1. is rocelvec. will be amply sufficient to pay the proposed annu ities. The gentleman does not at tempt to d!'ute this proposition. Suppose the amount IS greater than the annual cost of the govern ment, or the total annual income thereof, The Townsend plan will in no way affect the cost of the gov ernment or ltd annual income, nor In any way affect the balancing of the budget, nor does It In any way increase the taxes now Imposed, nor In any regard change the collection or levying of the same. The Town- send plan provides Its own way for raising the money to pay the annu ities, and, when we take into con sideration the great stimulant to bus- lness and the benefits derived there from, the same would be gladly paid as is our present six percent gasoline tax. The gentleman also attempts to liken the Townsend method to the New Deal taxes. There Is no com parison. Under the New Deal, there has been a 'argu sum of money ap propriated to furnish work for the unemployed, and the plan practiced has been to engage In the construc tion of large projects, such aa the Boulder and Bonneville dams, and state, count and municipal public service projects, for the building of which, contracts are let to large cor porations and wealthy contractors. No ordinary men, under the conditions, could offer a bid on such projects. Consequently the money expended re mains In ttie hands of the higher ups, at the top of the "pyramid," and the money piovlded for such projects may well be said to be taken from the people by way of taxation. Now the lowDsend proposal, as a recovery plan, works opposite to that. It Is universall conceded by states men, financiers and philosophers that the cause of the depression waa the mal -distribution of the wealth of the country. Therefore. It necessarily fol lows that the remedy lies in an equit able distribution of th money of the country. Now the Townsend plan proposes to make each person over the age of 60 years an agent of the government, or a federal employee, whose duty it will be to put Into circulation and at the foot, or base of the "pyramid." $300 a month, that the same may circulate upward through the arteries and channels of trade, by way of local transactions. It does not constitute Inflation, or the creation of new money. It sim ply changes the channel through which the mcney flows from the top of the "pyramid." where dwell the htgher-ups. to the foot, or base of the "pyramid.' 'In reach of the poor, needy consumer, who pays the great er portion of the transaction tax, and who do it glad'.y. because they can afford to, and the money thus ex pended doea not go for the building of Boulder Jams, and the like, but Is used for the build. n$ of homes, and buying of the necessities of life. If this be fraud, let the Repub licans make the most of tl. He further says, "The appeal of the Townsend plan Is enormous to millions of persons over the age of 00. It offers hope of an old age spent In luxury. Why not? They have worked long and hard to create the wealth that now support the leaders of the Re publican party In luxury (one f whom h claims to be). So let ;h old folks who have but a short time to live, and who as all know, are. by reason of their age, barred from all employment, receive during their declining years, something of tae wealth they have created, 80 percent of whom are now living on charity. That Is a poMtlve condition that con fronts the American people today, and must be met "Mr. Republican Leader" says the Townsend plan is unworkable. If so, why does he not offer a plan that Is workable? Tl;e general statement that it Is a frau-1. delusion, and unwork able Is no answer to the millions of people who say that the plan la basic ally sound, nd that the people of this country are determined to. end will put It over. So "Mr. Republican" had better prepare himself to meet he Inevitable. He further says that a "disappoint ment lies In wait for those who em brace the Townsend tdea. only to learn later that 'Aey have been badly foo'ed." In my opinion, if he will stick around tne ballot box until the votes are counted next November, he will find, to his dismay, that he and his party w.ll be the ones that will be badly fooled.
