TOWNSEND PLAN ORGANIZER SUGGESTS ROOSEVELT MAY ESPOUSE CAUSE FOR VOTES Trefz Declares 50,000 Members, Forming Inner Organization, Will Bring Pressure on Congress for Recognition. Suggestion that the Townsend Plan may be espoused by President Roosevelt and become a law before the next Democratic national convention was laid before 3500 Towsendites yesterday in a Tomlinson Hall mass meeting by Edward F. Trefz, Townsend organizer and former field secretary of the

United States Chamber of Commerce. Declaring that the Townsend movement has progressed to the point where it has become a strong political factor, Mr Trefz referred directly to the President although he did not name him. His declaration that Mr. Roosevelt is eyeing the Townsend vote came in the statement: May See Strength “It is my opinion that a certain gentleman in the White House, having in rhurge the admini-tration of the affairs of the nation, desiring the nomination and re-election as mu/h as his soul’s salvation may, before the nomination in June, see in the strength of this movement a way to accomplish this desire.” Mr. Trefz said 50,000 members of the inner organization of the Townsend movement, known as the Townsend National Legion, will go to Washington about Jan. l to stage demonstrations demanding consideration of the revolving pension plan. Each Legion member pays sl2 a year membership, dues, the money to be used for presenting th° plan in Washington. Forty persons were given the oath yesterday. Mr. Trefz declared the Legion is not a mob, but a well-organized body under one leader. “We are tired of having Congress tell us what they want done,” he said. “It is time for us to tell them. We are the government and governmental officials from the President on down/ are only agents to do our bidding” Former Local Resident The speaker, now a resident of Los Angeles, formerly lived in Indianapolis. His father was pastor of the New Jersey Street M. E. Church years ago. Mr. Trefz said his work with the Chamber of Commerce had convinced him that many industrialists and bankers are controlling industry so that profits are realized from reduced wages rather than through the sale of goods. The Townsend Plan, involving a mandatory 2 per cent gross negotiations tax with which to finance S2OO a month pensions for persons ever 60, has gained more members in Indiana in the last month than in any other state, according to Homer A. Schwinger, Chicago, regional director. He said Indiana and Wisconsin are leading all states in new organization. Roy A. Webb, Wisconsin state manager, also spoke at the meeting, which was under direction of W. S. McClintic, Indiana director.

Miss Piekford’s article Saturday pointed to the freedompower of thought. Today’s treats of the proper direction of that power. a st n CHAPTER IV RIGHT where you are at this very minute, no matter how black and difficult your situation, you have one priceless possession. You can think. And if you have thought your way into any kind of trouble, and that is the only way we get into trouble, you can turn at any time you choose and think your way out again. Nothing can hold you there but your thinking. You are the dictator of your own world of thinking. And what you think, and only what you think, goes. We set our own boundaries and limits. We aione set the margins around our thinking and our experience. How little we know' of the marvelous universe unfolding all about us! Sir James Jeans, the great scientist, who has told us such astonishing things about astronomy, said, not so long ago, that our universe seemed to be nearer a great thought than to a great machine. When he was asked if this meant that the universe is one of thought, he is quoted as saying, “I would say as a speculation, not as a scientific fact, that the universe and all material objects in it —atoms, stars and nebulae—are merely creations of thought—of course, not of your individual mind or mine, hut of some great universal Mind underlying and co-ordinating all our minds. The most we can say is that scientific knowledge seems to be moving in this direction.” And at another time he said, “it may be, it seems to me, that each individual consciousness is a brain cell in a universal mind.”

ISN'T that fascinating? Each of us part of a vast, cosmic intelligence? Each of us necessary in his place, no matter where that may be, for the eternal Mind to function through? Scientists have now analyzed matter into some kind of atom which is supposed to be composed chiefly of ether. There they are temporarily held up. What forms that ether into us—and into this great, orderly, beautiful magnificent incredible universe in which we live? What holds the stars in which we live? What holds the stars in their courses and brings the oak from the acorn and the sun up over the horizon every morning? It is possible to choose to think anything you like. But the best choice is to believe that it is God, a universal Mind, a creative, benevolent intelligence. Now what connects us with God? Our thoughts. What gives us the use of that great power which has put upon this planet all that every one of us needs forever? Our thinking. God is a 24-hour station. All you need to do is to plug in. You plug in with your thinking. Truthful thinking. Good thinking. Kind thinking. Unselfish thinking. And then you can have and use all the Love, all the Power, all the Courage, all the Energy, all the Cheerfulness, all the Activity and all the Kindliness of God.

A LITTLE boy I know, who wasn't the least bit religious in an orthodox way, but who had an intense interest in God, had some trouble with his ear. The doctor said that the ear was in bad shape and would have to be operated on. The youngster said nothing then, but when the subject came up later he calmly remarked that he wouldn’t need any operation. “Mama,” he said, “God made my ear. It must have been quite a job, and if He could do it in the first p'ace it would be awfully funny if He couldn't attend to its upkeep.” When the doctor called the next time the ear was well. And wouldn’t it be funny, when you stop to think about it, if the power which fashioned us, which brought us into being, and which needs us to function through, couldn’t attend to our upkeep? But we must make our contact; we must tune in; we must be receptive. We should never be afraid to claim for ourselves everything we need. It is our privilege to have all good today. We don’t need to postpone it. Why wait for Heaven when we can have it here. Heaven is within—it is within our thinking. If we are irritated, doubtful, fearful, angry, resentful or worried, we are expecting evil. We have opened the door for it and that’s what we will get. That formula will bring its inevitable result. If we are happy, courageous, cheerful, uselfish and sure of our rights as God’s children, that formula will have Its results too. Faith is the expectancy of good. Fear is the expectancy of evil. Well, who’s doing the expecting? What you expect, you invite into your mind; what you permit to remain in your mind has to externalize itself, which it will do in some way, and at some time in your experience. All history proves this. TOMORROW —Mme. Flitmajigger and Prof. Poofinpoos. (Copyright. 1935. by the Pickford Corporation. Distributed by United Feature Syndicate.)
