two circumstances which I hear discussed most frequently are: ' The tragedy the heartaches that obviously follow In the wake of “movements” such as the Townsend plan that cannot succeed and that draw to themselves thousands If not hundreds of thousands of persons who believe they re going to benefit and secondly It seems to me that the House committee headed Bell by Representative of Missouri Its hand with overplayed the result that it has brought upon House committees the same public dls and distrust as characterizes 90 ®'U8 per cent of the Senate Investigations Each of these conditions is to be deEach Is definitely destructive plored There can be no more excuse for some of the methods employed by the House committee In crucifying Dr Townsend than for Dr Townsend himself to wreck hearts and hopes and homes by pushing forward such a mlserab fl8 hl8 lmpoMlble propo8ltlon $200 per month pension program The House commUtee had within Its to a do magnificent opportunity i°b ln P0Mng the racketeering that become part and parcel of the Town- send plan It had within its hands the capacity to educate millions within the United States against following such n illusion such a mirage as the Townsend plan If It had confined it self to that w’ork Representative Bell and his committee should receive the of the nation But the sad plaudits story Is that the committee under Mr ®tl s guidance allowed Itself to be- ®n of even c°m prosecution agency rather than an unbiased persecution unit determined only to Investigating obtain the truth sue and moved to expose It through the medium of a House Investigation to show rather than fight Individually how ridiculous bow unsound the plan was Having set up the picture showing an utterly Impossible program on the Townsend and his assopart of Dr ciates and followers the House politicians were confronted suddenly by Dr Townsend’s arrogance ln his refusal to testify That presented a sudden change ln the scenery To plain the dangers In this new problem It is only necessary to say that If the House had acted promptly by voting that Dr Townsend was in contempt and must spend some time In Jail I expect the result would have been martyrdom for Dr Townsend Is always had from a poMartyrdom litical standpoint If the opposition has the martyr The house therefore has turned over the affair to the courts and the courts being slow moving as they ways are will not get around to prosecution f caw until It As too Jalei to have any Influence on the election So we can see readily that Dr Townsend Is left out ln the cold lie can neither use the Influence that Is char aeterlstlc of martyrdom nor can lie say that Ills skirts are clear The house has left him hanging conveniently In and It was done solely for political reasons There may he some more hearings on the Townsend plan during the summer but the chnnees are that Representative Bell will not call the committee together again for some months the case Is closed It has Practically undoubtedly stopped to a large measure the drain that the Townsend orwas making on the unganization thinking the aged and the destitute dimes whose quarters and nickels have financed the thing thus far While the committee did a good Job by exposing the character of the scheme I still am doubtful that It has brought to Itself or to the house of representatives any fresh confidence In our governmental structure national capital along with other sections of the country ’has been listening to 17-the purring of hordes of “locusts” Locusts I use the word custs In quotation marks because
