Script L 9" "Proclaim Liberty through all the land" The Liberty Bell Those who are governed "The power to tax is the Congress Is Relieved Of Townsend Scare If the congressional investigation of the Townsend plan goes on long enough, our congressmen are likely to wind up by concluding- that what they had feared was going to be a raging-tornado has been just a xnild breeze after all. Congressmen scare easily. It goes with the job. And when he Townsend business got under way, the noble representatives representa-tives began to recall the fearsome whip which Wayne B. Wheeler used to crack, and took it for granted that another great extra-political organization was coming into being to issue orders to them. But now things are looking different. The fine unselfishness unselfish-ness of the organization takes on a less beautiful hue in the light of revelations about high fees for organizers. The venerable doctor himself may be just as devoted as he ever was, but it is pretty apparent that some people in his organization organ-ization were much more concerned with the loaves ai)d fishes than with the idea of secure old age for the unfortunate. is 4? T "T And that can be expected to lessen Congress' fears. For what frightened the congressmen about this business was the high moral purpose that hung over it during dur-ing the time of its youth. A congressman can, if pressed, say "No" to a lobbyist or a self-seeker; but if you confront him with an outfit which is sincerely and intensely devoted to a great Cause, it just isn't in him to get tough. The thing to remember, after everything else is said and done, is that this Townsend movument did voice a great deal of pitiful feai and pathetic hope. Growing old is no part of a joke.' for many Americans. It means the loss of security dependence on someone who may meet that dependence grudgingly, the shadow of poverty pov-erty across the path, j Because millions of old people know that fear all too intimately, in-timately, the Townsend plan drew an amazingresponse. " We have had lime, by -now. to look at the thing sanely; time to study its. cock-eyed economics, time to weig-h the somewhat unlovely way in which district organizers organ-izers collected so much a head for every pathetic hopeful they could bring into the fold. Thesethings are beginning to convince Congress that there is nothing to fear, after all. But underneath it all there remain the conditions which gave the Town send plan its initial momentum. These conditions will still exist, no matter how damaging damag-ing the congressional investigation may prove. The Town-send Town-send plan, as a movement may be crippled to the point of death; the fear and. hopelessness that made millions of !HM)ple embrace it are yet to be dealt with. And it will take more than a congressional investigation to set them right.

BY BRUCE CATTON How a Puzzled Land Reacts to New Deal Boake Carter has been telling the radio audience about the day's news for a number of years. An outspoken commentator, he has drawn an enormous number of letters -upward of a million, he says -from his listeners; and he believes that these letters, when reviewed, present a pretty fair cross-section of the American mind. Thumbing through the letters j he ' has received since March 4. ! i 1933, he has selected a few score wnich seem representative; and he has printed them, with hi. own comment, in "Johnny Q Public Speaks!"

SCIENCE Some recent medical discoveries discover-ies of value are highly mentioned in various publications for the profession. A new compound of insulin, discovered in Denmark, is twice as effective as pure insulin insu-lin in treating sugar diabetes. Dr. E. A. Greenspon of Montreal, Canada, Can-ada, is furthering his experiments in pernicious anemia. He believes deficiency in the gastric juices causes the disease. A French .scientist has found vitamin A in the red blood corpuscles. He believers be-lievers it is there to fight disease.

At the very start, he shows, there was tremendous faith in Roosevelt and deep impatience with anyone who dared to criticize him. In the early days of 1933 at least 90 per cent of Mr. Carter's Car-ter's mail was strongly pro-Roosevelt. Then, as the panic passed, and people began te discover that the world wasn't going to go up in smoke after all, reasoned criticism criti-cism began to appear. The NRA came, and the AAA, and the other oth-er New Deal laws; and Johnny Q. Public began to show a divided mind, a dawning disillusionment. So Mr. Carter presents his letters, let-ters, covering three eventful years: and there is visible in them a pathetic hope and a deep confusion. con-fusion. His letter writers do not yet seem to know precisely where they want to go or how they want to get there; they only know that Ehey want the distress and suffering suf-fering of recent years ended somehow, some-how, and that they are not dis-posecf dis-posecf To be quite as patient about it as they have been. 20 40 42 44 46 Washington Merry-Go-Round (Continued lrom Page One) alienation of affection suit which an irate husband threatened to bring against Holt, just at the crucial moment when his seat ing was before the senate. Holt claims that his one-time friends are now trying to smear him with this. "The whole thing is a generated gener-ated political attack," says the youngest member of the senate. "There's nothing wrong with my relations with this woman, and I'd swear to that on a Bible."

He adds that on a recent Sunday Sun-day in Charleston he saw the lady (in company with a witness) and she told him she had been offered of-fered money to reopen the case. The lady, Opal Westfall, is em ployed in the labor division of the West Virginia WPA, for which she was recommended by Holt. "If Neely drags up this West- fall case," threatens Holt, "I'll spread out the record of his affairs af-fairs back in 1911 and 1913." And so on, far into the night.

Miss Lane laughed for their exclusive enjoyment. It seemed. She was one of them. But they saw that she laughed with a distinct retraction of her Hps. Her eyes were undeniably sad. "Tell me," Bhe said to Dirk, "are you a bridegroom who was left at the altar?" Her voice was sympathetic sym-pathetic "I have been so terribly afraid that you were. It would hurt your klsd so cruelly." Dirk flushed. "You know my kind." he smiled. "I quite prob- ably would be left at the altar. But why do you ask that?" "You bad the best suite on board mine now, thanks to you. Wasn't there a woman who changed her mind? Please tell me. The thought of a boy like you facing such cruelty has distressed me terribly!
