Dear Mrs. Jennings:
Am just in receipt of your
letter of January 5th and have
read with interest. As you know,
I have a bill pending in the Con

which would be uniform through

The Ways and Means committee
of the House is also planning to
take up the whole subject of social
security, broadening its coverage
and increasing the amounts.
I assure you I will continue to
do all I can to get adequate leg

I find there is a person telling
around that they organized the
Townsend club in Vernonia.
I
wish to stop that falsehood by
stating no one but Mrs. A. E.
Jennings was the organizer of
that club. As proof is easy to
produce, that same party is not
welcomed in any Townsend meet-
ing. They are known as a traitor,
can never become a member of
any club now. Anyone wishing
Townsend news can call on me any
day at .196 A St. I will tell the
truth.
