(JP) An assertion, immediately de nied, tbat the Townsend Old Age Pension organization used the mails to defraud waa mads today before a house investigat ing committee. V James R. Sullivan, committee counsel, declared tbat 811,400 was raised for a "congressional fund" by an appeal to Town send clubs sent through the mails In the form of "Towa sendgrams." Denies Hail Defrand "Did yon make any effort to atop these contributions." Sullivan aaked Dr. F. E. Townsend after reading a "Townaendgram" ap peal tor funds. "No," Dr. Townsend replied. "We were after contributions." "Did grou do anything to atop tbia nse of tbe malls to de fraud," snapped Sullivan. "I don't concede it waa 1e of the mails to defraud," said Dr. Townsend. Sullivan contended the "Town sendgrams" contained "fraudu lent statements," aa a baals for the plea for money. On Stand Third Day Dr. Townsend, founder ot fie movement who was on the stand for the third day, denied knowl edge of the appeal "until after it waa out."
