Florida’s veteran senator Duncan U Fletcher has a surprise up his sleeve for business men at the coming session of congress The doughty chairman of the senate banking committee plans to introduce and

disclosures of the senate banking investigation So strong has he come to feel about the matter that in the last printed report of the comnvttec Fletcher incorporated the following language "The cure for our corporate ailments circu n- vention of the law investment trust and holding company abuses and interlocking directorates mav lie in a national incorporation act” The idea of such a measure was first publicly advpcated by Theodore Roosevelt some 30 veara ago When he ran as a Bull Mooser in 1912 his platform contained such a plank It is not improbable that sometime next spring another

country when congress convenes It is the Townsend plan concocted by a retired physician Dr F E Townsend who like the author of EPIC also hails from Cali- fornia The Townsend scheme will stalk onto the congressional boards with powerful popular backing Over two million voters in all part of the country have aigned petitions demanding immediate enactment by congress and a number of western representative will take their seats pledged to vote for it Townsend's scheme is far simpler than Sinclair’s EPIC He would retire all persons over 60 years of age and thereafter pay them $200 a month — provided they abstained from all remunerative labor and spent their pensions within 30 days after receiving it In fact the money would not be good thereafter as it would be usable only during the month it was issued By this means Townsend claims not only would two billion dollars be added each month to the purchasing power of the country but some six of eight million elderly workers now
