Tt Seems to Mm HEYWOOD BROUN YORK, March 13.—Every once and so often" there appears in the letter department of my home town paper a very violent communication about me signed Mrs. Heywood Cox Broun. Mrs. Heywood Cox Broun is my mother, and, unlike her son, she never pulls her punches or sneaks up on an adversary. Although her economic point of view is highly conservative, she expresses it with all the flaming ardor of a revolutionist. I know some radicals who,
by dint of hard practice, can actually hiss the words ‘‘Wall Street.” My mother can do that with “labor union.” In the beginning Mrs. Heywood Cox Broun did not take “my views” very seriously, but she no longer tries to dispose of me as a posing pink. Only the other day she admitted in all seriousness that she regarded me as a menaca. “The trouble with you, Heywood,” she told me, “is that you have never been an employer.” tt n a Not Entirely Accurate
Heywood Broun
'T'O be sure, that is not entirely accurate. For one year I was a minor newspaper executive, and theoretically I had the power to hire and fire. I never fired anybody, but the one writer whom I engaged turned out to be top man in his division. Not only did I pick and choose Bill McGeehan for the sport page of the Tribune, but I exploited him. The bargaining base on which I was empowered to operate was very slim. The managing editor said I could have him if he would come for SSO a week, and if he wouldn't take that I could go as high as $55. "Mr. McGeehan.” I said at our conference, "I am empowered to offer you either SSO or $55 a week to come to work. Which would you rather have?” Bill chose $55, and in a few months was the best-known sports writer in New York. My mother thinks I am a. "phoney.” although T am pretty certain she did not use that word, in the matter of parading and picketing. However, if anything of the martyr complex lurks in me I have a right to assert that it is hered*> tary. For one afternoon there was no elevator service in the apartment building in which my mother lives, and now it has been restored, which makes my mother pretty indignant. The service came back because the landlord signed up with the union. My mother is considering walking up and down the five flights of stairs as a protest. a u u She's v cry Executive T NDiVIDUALLY the elevator boys are all right by A her. She furnishes ice cream on Sundays and takes up the Christmas collection from the tenants. I forgot to say that my mother is very executive. She would make an excellent agitator herself, but she doesn’t like to see anybody else agitate. I can easily imagine situations in which she would picket for Eddie and George and Caleb. But they mustn't do it themselves. I am using them as symbols. She has a different landlord. Mrs. Heywood Cox Broun has been in the same building lor 25 years, and to my certain knowledge she has called that landlord every conceivable name, short of profanity and obscenity, which my mother does not employ, that a gentlewoman can lay her tongue to. But when it’s a union fight my mother switches sides. She does not think that anybody else should employ violence. When the revolution comes it’s going to be a tough problem what to do with her. We will either have to shoot her or make her a commissar. In the meantime we still dine together. (Copyrißht, 1936)
Waving Flag Gets Votes in Any Land BY RAYMOND CLAPPER March 13.—There is a lenient ’ ’ tendency, even in this country, to excuse leaders on both sides in the present European crisis as they invite catastrophe by strutting brashly along the brink of war. There seems to be a despairing fatalism about it. Here and abroad it is being said that Hitler was driven by circumstances to act as he did and that France also is driven into her course. You even hear Mussolini excused for his raid on
Ethiopia. We are inclined to picture these leaders as victims of a grim destiny which drags them along whether they would or no. Is that the real picture? Are these European politic'-ms different from our own species? In Europe as here, the grand old flag still is best vote-getter that any desperate politician ever had. Are these leaders being driven on by their people or are they, for political reasons, lashing their helpless people to follow them up some rock read to glory? Is Hitler totally unself-
lsh in this business? Or is he climbing out of a hole to fasten his personal grip more tightly upon the German people? Several weeks ago the Berlin correspondent of the London Economist reported that German industry was faced with embarrassment which might be saved by rearmament activity in other countries. He suggested that in default of private initiative. German rearmament would give the required impetus. He thought then that the government already had decided to keep industry going with rearmament orders. Apparently he was correct. Within a few weeks, on a monetary system supported largely on thlii air—Germany's gold reserve is 1.92 per cent— Hitler tore up Locarno and stepped up the manufacture of war materials. m n npHERE -appears to be another factor at work which feeds the personal vanity of Hitler. An astute German correspondent here, Kurt G. Sell, who may be regarded as a highly intelligent spokesman of his government, explains Hitler's psychology in reoccupying the Rhineland in terms of personal heroics. He says, in an article in the Washington Daily News, that if America had lost a war and the victors had ordered American troops to stay out of New England, an American President who sent his army back into that territory would “be hailed as a hero and as a great ‘emancipator.’ ” Likewise French politicians are talking about French honor being at stake and how this is an intolerable humiliation which has just been perpetrated. Os course no French politician is ignorant of the fact that a general election is in the offing and that the hat ion faces the painful task of devaluing the franc. It is easier for a politician to talk about avenging national honor than to break the bad news to the French peasants that they are about to have another slice taken out of their savings by devaluation. As for Mussolini, no one yet has figured out any reason for his raid on Ethiopia except his urge foi “prestige”—personal, selfish glory, at tfie expense of his people. * YEARS ago Lemuel Parton brought back a story which is as good today as it was in 1914 A British patriotic speaker was trying to inspire Welsh miners to larger output to meet war needs. “Do you want to be digging coal for the kaiser?” he shouted. From the rear of the crowd came the piping question: “How much does the kaiser pay?”
THE MOST-TALKED-OF MAN IN U. S.
A life in which he knew want and ceaseless struggle until he neared old age, when there came to him the Inspiration for the plan which the whole nation is debating, has been that of Dr. Francis E. Townsend. This absorbing story of his career, told by Willis Thornton, will be followed by an analysis of the Townsend Plan, written by Prof. E. E. Witte, famed Wisconsin economist. BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Correspondent CHANCES EVERETT r TOWNSEND, M. D., is one physician who compounded a prescription that fizzed up all over the place and produced results which even the doctor didn’t foresee. This quiet-spoken, tall, gaunt, silver-haired man is soon to appear before the congressional committee named to look into the ingredients of his prescription and the workings of the laboratory in which it is being produced. No matter what develops during the inquiry, you may be certain that the least-perturbed man present will be Francis Everett Townsend. He is one of the most imperturbable, impervious men you’ve ever seen. Praise, the buzzing, self-con-scious adulation he gets from his followers, and condemnation, the bitter attacks on his plan and on himself—both slide off Dr. Townsend without leaving any visible \ign. a tt a I INTERVIEWED him during the days when his plan was only beginning to roll, and again since it has become a crusade to millions. He was just the same, both times—simple, plain, without pretensions, with an impervious manner born either of invincible stubbornness, or of unshakable righteousness. The life of Dr. Townsend has already begun to take on a legendary character.
"ITT" ASHINGTON, March 13. * ’ C. Bascom Slemp, secretary to the late President Coolidge and one of the canniest strategists in the Republican Party, got the surprise of his life recently. He was summoned to the White House by President Roosevelt for advice. No word of the secret conversation has leaked from Mr. Slemp, but White House attaches have been less circumspect. Mr. Roosevelt welcomed him warmly and then floored him with this question: “Bascom, what’s wrong with my Administration?” “Do you want it straight-from-the-shoulder, Mr. President?” asked Mr. Slemp. “That’s why I sent for you, Bascom. Don’t pull your punches.” Mr. Slemp didn’t. For over an hour he told Roosevelt in detail what he thought was wrong. Frankly and bluntly he criticised policies and individuals and gave his reasons. The President listened intently and sympathetically. When Mr. Slemp finished he thanked him warmly, asked him as a “personal favor” to send him a written memorandum listing the points he had made. Mr. Slemp agreed, and spent
Eden Is Bold Conciliator Tempered by Traditions
BY ROBERT W. HORTON WASHINGTON, March 13. Capt. Anthony Eden is credited w’th having said that Adolf Hitler is “a better eggplant than some people think.” The remark may hold a key to England's position in the Franco-German crisis today. England’s 38-year-old foreign secretary once had an eight-hour conversation with the Nazi dictator, over Germany's rearming in defiance of the Versailles Treaty. Exactly what was said is not known—but Germany went on rearming. Capt. Eden has a background of typical British civil service training but his best lessons in diplomacy are said to have been learned from France’s Pierre Laval and Soviet Rusia’s Maxim Litvinoff, both friends of his. Eden is a firm believer in the necessity of collective action through the League of Nations to preserve peace if it can be preserved at all. tt tt tt HE takes the position that Britain should assume a leading role in Continental politics. It was he who was largely responsible for creation of the “international army” that policed the Saar during the plebiscite last year.

A man of infinite calm, before the candid camera and away from it, is Dr. Francis E. Townsend, shown here in five poses .. . imperturbable in the face of the most fulsome praise or the most bitter criticism.
Certain picturesque incidents begin to take on the form of gospel, such as the one about how r he was shaving one morning, saw elderly people delving in the garbage cans in the rear of his apartment building, and then and there conceived the Towmsend plan. But the main facts of Townsend's life are clear and simple. Up to the time he began promoting his old-age revolving pension plan, his story was that of an ordinary American who worked hard all his life, drifting from one job to another, from this town to that, coming to old age without having made very much money or achieved very conspicuous success. n t TOWNSEND was born a little more than 69 years ago, on Jan. 13, on a farm near Fairbury,
several days preparing it. The document is now in the locked personal file of the President. Note—Mr. Slemp is not the only Republican or New Deal critic the President has secretly consulted of late. Several leading congressional foes have had candid talks with him at his invitation. Reason for the President’s strategy is not clear, and he has not seen fit to elucidate. But it is supposed that he wants to figure out ways to meet Republican arguments. tt tt PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT may pull another rabbit out of his hat—just as startling as the cor-poration-surplus tax proposal—when he sends Congress his special message on relief. He is seriously considering a plan calling for a relief program of seven months instead of 12. That is, instead of submitting a budget covering the whole of the coming fiscal year—July 1, 1936 to July 1, 1937—he would ask for funds to cover the program only up to Feb. 1, 1937. Several ends could be accomplished by such a maneuver. 1. It would be possible to reduce greatly the relief appropriation at the current session of Congress. With the billion or more saved from last year’s $4,000,00c,90y
He is called “the best-dressed statesman in the world.” However, since he assumes the conventional striped trousers and black jacket of British diplomacy, this does not mean that his clothes are conspicuous. tt tt it 17' DEN has a mischievous sparkle in his eyes. The story is told of a dinner to Aga Kahn. Eden, called on for a speech, arose with a smile and addressed .the guests in Persian. (He took honors at Oxford in Oriental languages). Mussolini was said to have been annoyed to have England send a “boy” to see him in Rome. But Eden subsequently impressed his ability on Mussolini, during the early Ethiopian disputes, by virtually forcing the dictator to accept the preliminary draft of the League's resolution on the ItaloEthiopian conflict. Eden’s boldness in the cause of conciliation was illustrated during his visit to Moscow. England was bitter against the Communist nation at the time. At the official dinner in Moscow, however, the Russians raised their glass to “Comrades, the King of England.” Eden replied with: “Gentlemen, Lenin.”

111. He went through the McGuffev readers in country schools, and did the usual farm chores and labor of all farm boys. When he was in his teens his father sold out and moved to southern Nebraska, where young Townsend went to a private academy, now abandoned. He cut loose from home with SIOOO, which amount his father gave each of his sons, and “went through it pretty quick,” he tells you. There was an unfortunate hayraising venture which went wrong when the baled hay was shipped to California in 1889 just in time to meet collapse of a real estate boom., He sold groceries, tried homesteading, “bummed it” on freights from town to town,, working on farms or at odd jobs. He tells
grant, only a modest additional sum would be required to carry the government’s relief load until next February. This would be good strategy in avoiding a row over relief in the present Congress; also good campaign politics in holding down the deficit. 2. By February, 1937, the President will know what effect the bonus, and corporation-surplus taxes will have on business and on employment. 3. By February also, the President can see what effect the social security program, now just getting under way, will have in reducing relief rolls. In the coming months, thousands of aged indigents now subsisting on relief checks will be transferred to old-age pension lists. This will produce a considerable savings in relief costs—just how much remains to be seen. a tt a ■pKUF. CARLE C. ZIMMERMAN, Harvard sociological professor of the Roosevelt boys, may have been invited to dine at the White House, hut that didn’t prevent a recent book of his from being oensored by the Administration. The book, called “Studies in Family Life,’’ is published by the Bureau of Home Economics of the Agriculture Department. It deleted certain comparisons between living standards in the United States and Europe which might have supplied campaign material to the opposition. Also deleted was a reference to Finland as “the only country that has paid its war debt.” No reason was given for this deletion. Note—Prof. Zimmerman recently spent an evening at the White House and had un informal debate with Chester Davis regarding the AAA. tt tt tt (GOVERNOR ALF LANDON is T learning the tricks of radio broadcasting. When he made his first speech he read his manuscript from a flat-topped stand, but in a recent address he used a special raised rack. . . . The current session of Congress has been a severe strain on Speaker Joe Byrns. He has lost considerable weight since the first of the year and complains to friends of not being able to sleep at night. . . . AAA executives took advantage of the Supreme Court’s decision abolishing the AAA to sweep out many inefficient workers. More desirable employes were retained for the new farm program. ...

you stories of sleeping in sheep cars through Kansas, of “bumming freights” in Nebraska, Finally he sought a settled profession. tt u tt TTE worked his w’ay through -*• Omaha Medical College (now part of the University of Nebraska) by keeping books, raking leaves, waiting on table. On graduation, he found a chance to become associated with a small hospital in the Black Hills country north of Deadwood, at Bell Fourche, S. D. The head nurse was Minnie Bogue, born in Milwaukee, and then a recent graduate of a nursing school in Omaha. Today she is the wife, short and plump, with horn-rimmed spectacles hiding bright eyes. She accompanies the doctor on his continual travels. During the World War Dr. Townsend was stationed as a medical officer with a state university training unit at Vermilion, S. D. Then he returned to his hospital at Belle Fourche. But his health began to fail. He underwent a serious appendix operation, and then general peritonitis set in. He decided to remove to southern California, where he had been before, and where he had relatives. Settling at Long Beach, Dr. Townsend practiced, on and off, and then became one of several physicians hired by the health department of Long Beach to attend the indigent. Many were stranded and the city had to provide for medical care for hundreds. u a A LITTLE more than three years ago, when the number of cases dropped back to normal, he lost the job. He had very little money, though he was not entirely broke. That the things the doctor saw among the many elderly people who for years have flocked to southern California influenced his OARP plan there can be no doubt, “It was a bitter experience,”

he recounts, “to see these fine people reduced to such dire conditions. Many, many of them committed suicide.” No matter how long he had been thinking along social lines, the idea germinated about the time he found himself in the position described. The OARP plan started on an absolute shoestring. He had some blanks printed, with the plan at the top, space for signature at the bottom. He advertised in the newspapers for canvassers to go around and get signatures. First signatures, then money support, began to come in. tt tt T>UT Dr. Townsend didn’t and U doesn't pretend to have any financial or business ability. By the time he was ready to rent, on credit, a headquarters with a huge sign across the front, he felt the need of an associate trained in business. The logical man was Robert Earl Clements, for whom the doctor had worked as a part-time real estate salesman. Clements came along, and remains today as the business manager and executive spark plug of the Townsend organization. Dr. Townsend has three brothers and two sisters, all living. Bert Townsend is a postal employe in Long Beach, Walter sells airplane tickets in Hollywood, George is a farmer near Franklin, Neb. The sisters are married. Francis and Minnie Townsend have a son, Robert Craig, 21, a student of farming at San Luis Obispo Polytechnic School. A daughter is now Mrs. Robert Shevlind of Long Beach. An adopted daughter died only a few months ago. Dr. Townsend speaks and dresses quietly, favoring gray. He likes to play cribbage, and eat boiled cabbage. c Few who have talked to him have ever questioned his evident sincerity, or that, as Mrs. Townsend says, “he has always been an idealist, seen beautiful visions, and hoped things would turn out the best for everybody.”

Fair Enough wmmiEt VIENNA. March 13.—1f you want a picture of this country under the present dictatorship just imagine that Austria is the state of New- York. Th® nominal head man, the chancellor, is a reactionary college professor, a man with a heart full of Christian piety, who hates Socialists and throws them into prison, leaving their families to starve for the greater glory' of God. His name is Kurt von Schuschnigg, and the regular army is his to command as long as Benito Mussolini of Italy comes through with th®
pay roll once a month. Otherwise he doesn't amount to much. And with these words you can forget all about him The actual boss, though, is a reckless young aristocrat named Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg. whose lineage and character correspond to that of one of our dashing young scions of the Long Island polo and pubcrawling set. If this were New York some snobbish paper would admire young Starhemberg and run pictures of him in the Sunday brown lunching with Gene Tun-
ney, Mrs. Harrison Williams and a couple of genuine Philadelphia Stotesbury's under a striped umbrella at Palm Beach. He is that type of hero—rich, arrogant fearless, useless and a member of one of th® best families, with the supreme virtue of never having done a lick of work in his life. o a a Add Society Notes T HE paper might report that Prince Ernst RudiAger von Starhemberg of Syosset, Long Island. Park-av, New York, and White Sulphur Springs. . \a., enteitained a party of friends in private the other evening and that a pleasant time was had by all, followed by a list of prominent young scions and scionesses by families which really matter. And the gossip notes would inquire in fewer and plainer words what well-known local dictator got plastered in the Stork Club the other dawn and was carried out stiff as a. stuffed horse. The Prince is one of your long-legged, flat-bellied dashing, domineering, athletic types. He used to string*w’ith Adolf Hitler in Germany and took a nand in the famous Munich putsch, but quit Hitler and came back home to start his own little dictator- , eventual purpose of restoring the Hapsburg monarchy. Or, if it could come to that, he would be quite willing to accept the throne himself, considering that his fine family is supposed to be aboui 300 years older than that of the royal breed. It w'as exciting fun to trail with Hitler in the early days of the Nazi campaign, but the Prince soon perceived that Hitler intended to pinch off Austria for himself, rub out the border and attach the country to Germany. Asa loyal Austrian, devoted to the monarchy, he couldn’t take any part in that. Austrians of his set are Royalists, and every so often a .delegation of army officers or students of the aristocracy go stomping down the cellar steps of the Capuchin Church to spank their heels together and lay wreaths on the bronze sarcophagi of Francis Joseph and Maria Theresa, with trailing ribbons lettered in 'gold with vows of loyalty. n tt n Glad to Give Their Lives THERE is no doubt they would gladly give their lives in the fight for the restoration. That would be their idea of a wonderful time. Moreover, although the Prince is a tough guy, he is also something of a sportsman who enjoys a fight but gets comparatively little fun out of an execution. He found that he couldn t go along with Hitler in the great slow massacre of the German Jews, not so much because he pitied or admired the Jews as because they were helpless and therefore afforded no sport. The Jews have no protective coloration, so to speak. Hitler was a grim and mirthless man, without a friend or confidant in the world, who never takes a drink, never twitches his funny mustache at a fast blond in a hotel bar, and he doesn’t even eat meat or smoke. Moreover, he has frequently been known to shoot a friend, and, adding him all up, Prince Ernst Rudiger von Starhemberg decided that Adolf Hitler wasn’t the right answer. And, finally, the position of dictator in his own country was vastly preferable to that of second-string tough guy in Germany. . • Os course, he takes orders from Mussolini, because Mussolini pays the expense, but he enjoys the same position and privileges that Mussolini and Hitler hold and doesn’t even pretend to be a cleandesk man or an early rising executive—unless you mean early in the afternoon. Gen. Johnson Says— WASHINGTON, March 13.—The minimum cost of a family home for decent living is about s4ooo—say a rental value of S3O a month. That is the most that can be afforded by a family income of S2OOO. But 16,000.000 families do not have incomes of as much as s2ooo—and so can't have decent housing. That is a shocking conclusion. It is the sort of unbalance that makes everybody want to increase these small incomes. Nobody has shown a way. But can the same problem be solved by decreasing th® cost of small houses? Hundreds of people are working on that problem from a dozen angles—new materials, lower costs for land, labor, finance and supervision. This has for so long been a business problem that there will be no sudden magic. a a a BUT there might be an answer in the peculiarly American institution of quantity production. If there were vast capital, using the full force of mass purchasing power, willing to forgo speculative profits in land values, with money and equipment sufficient to maintain uninterruptedly a rate of production never yet imagined, with a continuously employed construction crew at fixed annual salaries, it might be able to produce small decent houses at half their present cost. If that could be done it would open up a market hitherto undreamed of—just as Henry Ford did, when he made his first magnificent gamble that there is some price low enough to move unsuspected masses of any product, but that you must make th® price regardless of cost, and gamble on quantity for your profit. In this case it’s a gamble worth taking. The opening of such a tremendous new industry could bring prosperity back. From a cold business angle there is another advantage; as a hedge against inflation nothing could equal such a scheme. (Copyright, 193, by United Feature Syndicate. Inc.)

IF you like to curl up in a cozy chair and lose yourself an evening hunting treasure in tho South Seas (and who doesn't?), then you have a treat in store for you in anew kind of treasure book, “They Found Gold” (Putnam; $2.50). I say “new” kind of treasure book because this fascinating series of yarns by A. Hyatt Vemll is based on fact. Verrili himself has hunted for more than one fabulous cache, buried on Southern isles, under coral reefs, or *in the steaming jungles of Central America. His book is a review of the world's famous treasure hunts, many of which are still being carried on. You’ll find most of the world's lost loot still is to be recovered; but Mr. Verrili warns that treasurehunting is a hard and usually a hopeless task. (By Bruce. Cat ton.).
