moves which the Roosevelt Administration must combat. All Senate and House supporters of the Townsend old-age pension have been called to meet Thursday night. The size of the gathering may give the White House an idee, of what the Administration will have to deal with in attempting to smother inflation and radical social legislation blocs. Rep. James Byrns (D.. Tenn.), the probable next Speaker of the House, favors early disposal of the bonus question. A majority of the Ways and Means Committee, which must report on any bonus bill, voted last year for payment of the bonus and may be expected to give it prompt action this session. The Townsend plan, termed by high Administration officials as a “fantastic” and dangerous program, calls for the payment by the

Government of S2OO each month to every man and woman over 60. The only stipulation is that all of the S2OO must be spent by the end of each month. F. E. Townsend, who has come out of the West to press for congressional action on the plan, will speak at the Thursday night caucus. Ten Representatives from Western states signed the “caucus” call, inviting all members of Congress to attend The meeting will be held in the elaborate caucus room of the old House Office Building. The Administration’s social security program, those who have drafted the tentative plan admit, likely will not call for old-age pension legislation of vast proportions. J Unemployment insurance is the mainstay of the program which j Congress will be asked to approve. Congressmen admit that with the exception of the bonus there has j

been more pressure on them from elderly constituents to come out for the Townsend program than for any other proposed legislation in years. Long petitions, signed by thousands of elderly people in their districts, have reached offices of most Representatives. This “cureall” for economic distress in old age has its political appeal. In contrast old-age pension legislation which may have Administration backing is likely to be of trial nature, which would not afford financial aid until 10 or 15 years from now. Labor Secretary Frances Perkins has ; idicated she favored Federal co-ofFration in a plan calling for Federal contributions, which would be adued to those of individuals nearing the age of 65. Under such a program persons over 50 or 55 would not benefit.
