Chicago, at a rally of approxi- ' mately 5,000 supporters of the ' i Townsend revolving pension plan at the state fair grounds here 1 [ yesterday. Dyer, central regional director ! for the Townsend plan, snbstitut--1 ] ed for Dr. F. E. Townsend. Long ' Beach, Cal., originator of the plan. ' who was unable to attend because i of death of his daughter in California. ‘‘This nation went too long 1 with every man for himself and the devil taking the hindmost,” i Dyer said. ‘‘lt ended with the devil of the depression getting us all.” "That same unsettled condition still persists today. The present civilization has been kicking out the aged; we would call them to the colors instead as circulators of the nation’s money.” Dyer predicted a political land • slide in 1936 unless the next congress enacts the Townsend plan. He outlined the proposal to finance S2OO a month pension for all worthy persons over 60 years old with a transaction tax and claimed it would guarantee circu- ] lai ion of $24,000,000,000 annually. Townsend clubs from all parts of the state traveling in bannered busses, attended the meeting.

witnesses. The major premise of Sweitzer's story—that he, Dickinson, and the three women engaged in a two-day drinking bout before Dickinson was killed early Thursday morning—already was disprove!!. Detectives accounted for Dickinson's time from his arrival in- Detroit Tuesday to work on the claim of Mrs. E'lizabeth Carmichael Witherspoon . against the $40,000,000 estate of the late William Wakey, lumberman, until Wednesday night when he was seen leaving the BookCadillac hotel to keep an engagement, presumably with Sweitzer. Dickinson liked an occasional cocktail, but was not a heavy drinker, police learned. A family man devoted to his wife and child, a maji of culture and distinction, detectives did not believe he would seek pleasure in the company of a procurer and three of his women. But through hours of questioning Sweitzer insisted Dickinson introduced himself to the sisters Jackson and himself while they dined at the Book-Cadillac hotel Tuesday night, and was with them almost continuously until Thursday looming when he was killed. Sweitzer said the five of them were “taking frerfh air ' in a drive through Rogue Park early Thursday. He stopped the machine so the women could get out. While they were gone, DicKson produced a revolver. He said first they had shot craps and Dickinson, enraged because Sweitzer couldn't pay $4 he had lost, intended to kill him. In his second story he said Dickinson fired at him without cause.; In each story he said he wrested
