TOWNSEND PLAN IS ATTACKED BY H E A DOFLABOR •Economically Imposible, Illusory,’ Green Charges. By United Press WASHINGTON. Dec. 25 —Joining Dr. Edwin Witte of the President’s committee on economic security, President William Green of the i American Federation of Labor to- ! day assailed the “Townsend plan” j as “economically impossible” and “illusory.” Mr. Green said he had faith that the Administration will offer and back old-age security legislation as well as unemployment insurance. Proposals such as the Townsend plan, he said, make sound legislation difficult. “Perhaps.” he said, “the promoters of the Townsend old age re-

volving plan mean well, but they are not helping the President. The Townsend plan, which proposes a pension of S2OO monthly for all persons over 60. is economically impossible. A S2OO-a-month pension to the eight or ten million persons nowover 60 would cost between 20 to 24 billions a year. The entire income of all the people last year was less than 40 billions. The Townsend plan would cost more than half our national income.” Mr. Green also criticized the Townsend proposal to raise old-age pension benefits through a 10 per cent retail sales tax. This, he said, would be “an enormous burden upon the worker and the consumer, who would bear a much greater share of the burden in proportion to their income and ability to pay than the rich.” “I should like to warn elderly people in general and labor in particular against being taken in by such fantastic proposals exploiting the stand President Roosevelt has taken in favor of old-age pensions and making it difficult to get pension legislation through the coming Congress,” he said. “The legislative program of the American Federation of Labor calls for solid old-lge pension legislation, not the illusory quest of the Townsend plan.”
