TOWNSEND PLAN DOOM SOUNDED BY COMMITTEE Ways and Means Group to Adopt Program as Recommended. By Unjted Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 24—The Administration's social security bill will be reported favorably by the House Ways and Means Committee with little or no change in principle but several changes in detail. it was indicated today. The committee's attitude appeared to doom that much publicized Townsend old-age pension measure. Members of the committee were agreed with the Administration bill's principles, including old-age pensions, unemployment compensation, child welfare work and public health services, but were not satified with many methods of putting the program in effect, a United Press survey showed.

Drastic Changes Oposed Indication that the Administration is agreeable to minor changes was given by Frances Perkins. Secretary of Labor, who said the bill is tentative in form and “wholly open to amendment.” She answered with a loud and emphatic "no” a question as to whether it would not be considered satisfactory if Congress should decide to enact certain features of the bill and not others. “Adoption of certain features of the bill without the others would destroy the main idea of the plan,” Miss Perkins said. "That is, to create a well-rounded social and economic security plan.” Hopkins Raps Scheme The Townsend plan was under severe attack. “Cock-eyed” was the w r ay Harry Hopkins described it. Miss Perkins was more polite, terming it “impractical.” Rep. John Stevens McGroarty (D., Cal.), congressional sponsor of the Townsend bill, said “It’s beginning to look now as if It may not get through this session. However, after the congressmen go back home and find out how the people feel about it .it will be sure to pass during the next session.” REPORTS TRUCK THEFT Driver Says Negro Drove Away in Vehicle.

$1,000,000,000 More Is ! Sought by Army, Navy National Defense Advocates Hope to Induce Roosevelt to Part With Funds. lOopyright. 1935. bv United Press) WASHINGTON. Jan. 24 —Advocates of an adequate national defense today believed they were within striking distance of that objective for the first time since the national defense act was passed in 1920. They hoped to induce President Roosevelt to earmark approximately $1 000,000,000 for the Army and Navy of the requested $4,880,000,000 work

relief fund. This would be in addition to $899,948,065 asked for national defense in the regular budget for the 1935-36 fiscal year. Out of the earmarked funds the Army hopes to obtain some $405,721.594 “to build up the military establishment” of the United States, and the Navy hopes to get between $600,000 000 and $700,000,000 to complete construction of warships au-! thorized under the Vinson bill. Army and Navy advocates base their hopes for this added amount on these contentions: 1. That expenditure of this amount in building up the Army and Navy would benefit innumerable Industries and thousands of working people, thus accomplishing ! directly the major objective of the I relief fund. 2. That the money spent under Army and Navy supervision for national defense purposes is probably more economically expended—that is, a greater proportion of it goes directly for labor and materials — than in almost any other construction projects. 3. That expenditures for national defense are for the purchase of materials which must be purchased sooner or later for the Army and Navy anyway, and that their purchase at this time would be a real national economy. 4. That these purchases would build the Navy to practically "treaty” strength, and would provide the Army with equipment which would make ir a thoroughly modern army. Army officials claim this would provide national security adequate for at least 10 years. 5. That it would give the United States a fighting air force second to none.

EQUAL RIGHTS BILLAPPROVED House Adopts Measure Hiking Penalties for Discrimination. The Lower House today concurred in the favorable report of the Committee on Organization of Courts and Criminal Code on a measure which would increase the maximum penalty on hotels, restaurants and theaters for denial of equal rights to any person, regardless of race or color. This bill, introduced by Rep. Henry J. Richardson (D., Indianapolis), Negro, proposes that establishments that deny equal rights to all persons must forfeit a sum cf money not to exceed S3OO to the aggrieved person and also would be liable to a fine of S3OO. The present penalty is SIOO. In the public hearing yesterday, some members of the committee felt that there should be a differentiation made between legal rights and social rights. Asserting that this measure would result in heavy losses to hotels and restaurants. Kenneth H. Cox, representing the Indiana Hotel Association, asked the committee yesterday to kill this bill. The committee recommended for passage the measure which would give the Supreme Court the right to establish rules of legal procedure. Senate bills which would authorize the state to return persons of unsound mind from other states without extradition, and w r ould provide for reciprocal relations between states to seture attendance of witnesses in criminal cases, also were reported out favorably.

M. A. opposes socialization of medical care with a contention that the personal relations of physician and patient are essential to effective treatment.
