Iverson Tells High-Lights
OfTownsend Convention
By Geo. Iverson
LOe ANGELES, June 36. (Special
correspondence). I know ill of our
Townsend readers are Interested la
what happened at the third national
Townsend . convention Just closed
bere In Los Angeles.
Thla was the most successful con
vention In Its accomplishment and
outstanding for Ita laclt of Jangling
and spilling of dot air. Most of the
actual business ws attended to by
official and non-offlclal committee
meetings with quite a little of It cut
and dried beforehand.
A large part of the convention time
was given over to speaking by noted
national Townsend speakers and of
ficials, aome of the latter giving their
annual reports. A great deal of time
was taken by demonstrationa of- en
thusiasm, rallies of delegations and
group singing of Townsend songs,
program -numbers, etc. '
I summed up the convention effect
In these words: "Its greatest Inspi
ration was the enthusiasm; Its great
eat result was inspiration of loyalty
to the Townsend plan and lta offi
cials." Hardly a word was said In disloy
alty to Dr. Townsend nor effort made
to In any way supplant him or even
provide him wlOi advisory officials:
also hardly a word said by any
speaker or others as to the Townsend
plan being an "old age pension."
The thought throughout being Its
great benefit to the young people
and to business recovery.
Politically a great deal was said as
to how this phase would be Handled.
Most effort will be put Into the elec
tion of Townsend congressmen and
senators. Speakers will be sent Into
the districts of present congressmen
who are enemies to the plan, and
thus by sheer weight defeat them,
electing good Townsendltes In their
place. These will be outstanding
statesmen capable of handling gov
ernment affairs. Also polltcally, the
Townsend party was officially per
fected and adopted. This Is now In
full force here In California and will
be pushed In Oregon next.
Mo one seems to be able to Interpret
4.. nrmonn ln AB hOW tO form a
political party and aome of them
may have to be changed or perfected.
The new manual for conducting
club affairs was adopted, having a
number of changes whtcii will bene
fit club work. The main official or
ganizations will be clubs and na
tional headquarters with Dr. Town-
send In absolute control. State, dis
trict and county organizations are
abolished and there will be state rep
resentatives with groups of helpers
In each state.
The main program started out
June 18 with a caravan formed prin
cipally near San Francisco which
moved down the Pacific Highway but
becoming so long (seven miles) that
Los Angeles could not let them enter
In one body. They broke It up Into
units and sent them In by various
streets and It then took them seven
hours to get them in,
Sunday, June 19. was a day of ad
dresses of welcome followed by a
stupendous pageant of program and
stunts such aa no place in the world
could put on but Hollywood. Her
bert Wallensteln was master of cere
monies with audi men as Herman
Rex and Thomas Maynard aiding.
Space la too short and words too In
adequate to describe the stunts.
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday
were business and speaking daya, out
standing being the keynote address
by Ralph Hand, the address by Sena
tor Ralph Brewster of Maine and an
address on the youth phase of Town
send work by a girl of about 18.
An enormous rally and picnic at
Long Beach ended the convention
Thursday.
There were about forty thousand in
attendance at the Sunday program.
The business sessions were attended
by about 7000 and about 100.000 at
the picnic.
Next Immediate move will be a
concentration of effort by national
headquarters on Oregon to get it
straightened out and properly func
tioning. The party I am In is spending an
additional week sightseeing and we
are seeing plenty. Tomorrow morn
ing I am trying for passes for my
self at botli the R. K. O. and Para
mount atudloa on my ability as a
writer.

men behind the Inquiry are now
talking of "British royal commis
sions" and the like.
As yet, of course, the only real
test of the probable quality of the
Inquiry Is the quality of the per
sonalities Involved. These augur fa
vorably. The inquiry committee's
congressional members, headed by
Senator O'Mahoney of Wyoming, are
moderate and pretty sensible. One
or two of them, like Senator King of
Utah, are hard-shelled, hair-splitting
tortes. As for the contingent from
the executive branch the New Deal
ers described here earlier this week
they are intelligent, somewhat
temperamental, but reasonably dis
interested and serious men.
And now comes word of the ap
pointment of the committee's first
special investigator. Thomas O. Blals
dell, Jr., who will be director of
the securities and exchange com
mission's division of the study. Blsls
dell has summed himself up' neatly:
"I'm a political mugwump, an ex
mlsslonary and a friend of Rex
Tugwell's, and I'm not ashamed of
any of them."
Although the committee members
give the direction, the special In
vestigators hew the wood and draw
the water, and Blalsdell will be
charged with the most Important
of the special Investigators' tasks
examining the uses to which the
Insurance companies put their huge
reservoirs of capital, and Inquir
ing Into the concentration of gen
eral economic power. He has pre
pared for his Job in 42 years of
hard, varied, and not too conspicu
ous work. Including labor at Co
lumbia university, teaching for the
Presbyterians In China and for the
T. M. C. A. in India, and ending
in minor employments In the New
Deal. The Important point about
Blalsdell Is that he la not, tempera
mentally, a frier of anyone In his
own fat.

IWidimMm DRINK WITH VITAMIWD-
Indeed, he approaches hla new
task with no preconceptions, even
aa to the essential wickedness of
monopoly Itself. The original In
ventors of the antl -monopoly In
quiry are all deep-dyed haters of
bigness, but Blalsdell Is Inclined to
doubt the true religion. He has dis
cussed the problem at unquotable
length. But In SEC Commissioner
Jerome N. Frank's new book, "Save
America First." he Is well summar
ised as believing as follows:
"It Is not a self-evident proposi
tion, nor has It been proved, that
the competitive struggle Is always
good for those who participate In
It. or that lta affect on the bulk of
the population Is Invariably praise
worthy." One might almost say that Blals
dell begins with a predisposition In
favor of big business, so long as It
Is subjected, to be sure, to appro
priate regulations. And there, of
course, Is where the trouble Is going
to corns. Predisposition or no pre
disposition, Blalsdell has nine chances
In ten of being denounced as mon
strously unfair by the united voice
of all conservatives. The answer Is
that definitions of unfairness vary,
and however the antl -monopoly In
quiry is carried on, one side will
call It a calm and factual Investiga
tion, while the other will describe
It as a cruel, perverted and political
torture chamber.
As for the plain people who will
look on, they must hope that the
Inquiry at least will produce some
reliable data to form opinions on.
