The compromise would call
for a flat 18 per cent tax on

cent on Income withheld from
distribution, exemption of 11,000
from taxation (or corporations
making no more than 120,000

WASHINGTON, May li. (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." He added he did
not believe tha mails "were used
to defraud."
Sullivan said that prior to the
"Townsendgram" appeal, the or
ganization raised 123.490 to de
fray expenses of seven men
brought to Washington in Jan
uary, 1935, to draft the Me
Oroarty bill embodying a form
of the Townsend plan, aad work
for lta passage.
Dr. Townsend disclaimed
knowledge of Sullivan's asser
tion that only 11,804 of the
223,490 was used before tbe
"Townsendgram" appeal was
made for additional funds.
The witness explained he had
little or nothing to do with tht
raising of money and his pro
vince was the "philosophical and
economic" aspect of the move
ment. He said Robert E. Clements,
former national secretary and
co-founder, and others In the
business office, handled the fi
nancial end of the program.
