MAIL INDORSING TOWNSEND IDEA FLOODSCAPITAL Pension Law and Jobs Are Favorites in Letters to Congressmen. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY TimfA Staff Writer WASHINGTON, I>c. 21.—More jobs for deserving Democrats, enactment of the Townsend plan, and replenishment of Home Owner,' Loan Corp. credit dominate the current demands of constituents upon returning members of Congress. a checkup showed today. California Congressmen reported almost 100 per cent of their mail devoted to indorsements of Dr. F. E. Townsend's proposal to pension every one past 60 at S2OO a manth. The Townsend doctrine is spreading. Midwestern delegations reported much of their mail devoted to it. The movement has not gone far in the East, however, if congressional mail is a fair index. Pennsylvania and New York members reported only isolated appeals. Both Eastern and Middlewestem law-makers said letters on HOLC topped their lists. Unemployment insurance, NRA and currency reform are other major topics in the bulging capitol mail bags.

Pension Proposal Favored Inquiry among representatives of selected regions brought the following comment: Rep. Lea <D, Cal)—The Townsend plan is about all I hear of m letters. Some say they are sorry they voted for me because I do not favor it. I am for an old-age pension law that is sound and just, and the Townsend plan is neither. Rrp. Buck <D., Cal.)—Every one who writes to me wants the Townsend S2OO a month right way. I am for old-age pensions, but do not think this plan feasible. Office of Senator Thomas <D„ Okia.)—Jobs and relief form the bulk of the mail, but the Townsend plan is increasing daily with petitions. postcards and letters. Veterans’ pensions are also prominent. Job Requests Abound Office of Senator Gore <D., Okla 1 —Jobs and HOLC reopening lead the list. Rep. Disney <D, Okla.) A sprinkling of Townsend plan letters and petitions, but mostly requests for jobs ami relief and for HOLC extension. Office of Senator Van Nuys (D„ Ind.i—Jobs first and the Townsend plan second. Requests for expanding HOLC are mounting daily. Rep. Jenckes <D.. Ind.) —I receive Townsend plan letters from persons who evidently look upon the idea as a paradise. They come written in pencfl on rough stationery. Jobs for Hoosier Democrats lead the requests in my mail, however, and there are increasing demands for extending HOLC. Office of Senator Bulkley (D, O.) —Letters urging HOLC extension are three times greater than mail on | any other subject. The Townsend ! plan is second, with other social security legislation third. HOLC Requests Plentiful Rep. Bolton <R.. O.)—Sentiment favors reopening HOLC loans. I receive a few letters on the Townsend plan comparing its S2OO a month proposal with the Ohio payment of S3O. Some say NRA should be scrapp*d. Rep. Underwood (D„ O.)—Some HOLC requests. Rep. Lamneck (D., O.)—HOLC and local problems. Senator-elect Guffey iD.. Pa.)— I have received six letters favoring the Townsend plan. Office of Rep. Berlin <D.. Pa.) — Ninety per cent jobs. No letters on the Townsend plan. Rep. Mead <D.. N. Y.) —One or two Townsend letters a day. Mostly unemployment insurance, railroad pension act, HOLC. currency reform. depression cures and public works in the order listed.
