of the "share the wealth" movement
started by the late Senator Huey P.
Long, la not on the payroll of the
Townsend organization.
Mr. Smith ha appeared In public
frequently with Dr. Townsend ana

national convention here recently.
Making a deposition before Com
mon Pleas Judge George Kerr In i
recelvershlD suit brought against the
Townsend organization by the Rev.
Alfred J. Wright, ousted Townsend
director, Dr. Townaend said Mr. Smith
had been paid nothing "as a salary.
Reimbursed.
Asked by Attorney Ben P. Sacharow,
counsel for Mr. Wright, if Mr. smim
had received any money from the
Townsend organization Dr. Townsend
aald:
"Yes. he's been reimbursed for some
expenditures."
He said traveling expenses would
"run 20 to 30 a day."
Sacharow called a remark of Charles
W. Hubbell, counsel for Dr. Town
aend. n "contemptible He." ,
"We anticipate," Hubbell said,
"that by means of this hearing, coun.
Ml for Mr. Wright and former Na
tlonat Secretary R. E. Clements, dis
gruntled and discharged employea of
tlie OARP (old age revolving pen
slona) Intend to harass and vllllfy
Dr. Townsend. This lw suit la po
lltlcal propaganda. After November
It will be goodbye lawsuit."
Sacharow Jumped to his feet and
aid "that'a a contemptible He."
Sacharow asked the doctor whether
he objected to "the American people
seeing the books end records of the
Townsend organization."
"I would not," Townsend replied,
"If they did not Interfere with the
employes in their routine."
Townsend Not on Payroll.
Dr, Townsend said that he waa not
on the payroll of the Townsend
movement. He said that he waa paid
on a salary basis until the opening
of the congressional hearing Inst
spring.
"I received 60 a week and ei
penses," the dootor said, "and for a
month or two, 128 week and
pensca."
Sacharow claimed his investigation
of records disclosed the doctor re
ceived nine checks of 12fl each, a
total of (U125, last February.
"That's news to me, the doctor
commented. Tucker objected to Snch
arow'a statement, claiming he "aa
stimed they were salary checks. The
Judge remarked that Sacharow "has
hot proved them to be only salary
checka."
Wright's attorney then questioned
the pension leader concerning a check
he said waa Issued to Walter Town
aend, of Hollywood, Calif., brother or
the doctor, for $100 last June 27.
Dr. Townsend said hie brother's
wife, Ethel, was a club organizer and
the check "presumably .was salary for
her." He later said he authorized
OARP to forward hie brother, "who
waa 111," $100, the amount to be re
paid the organization by himself.
