‘$30 Every Thursday’ Is California’s Latest By THOMAS L. STOKES

Times Special Writer 1.OS ANGELES, July 19 —California is under the spell of a new

pension gospel

As flies swarm toward honey, so

the old folks who sit in the sun are flocking toward the “$30 ever) Thursday’ movement In immediate interest it has superseded the Townsend plan, but the old people can be loyal to both—for the $30 every Thursday would come from the State Government, while it is the Federal Government which would issue the $200 a month under Dr. Townsend's scheme.

LAUDS SEGURITY ACT AS AID TO CRIPPLES

Foster Outlines Program for Care of Children.

Work of Federal, State and local agencies in expanding facilities for the care of crippled children was

outlined by Eugene C. Foster, Indianapolis Foundation director, to Rotary Club members at their luncheon meeting at the Claypool Hotel today. Explaining that a new chapter in the service to crippled vouth was written with the passage of the Social Security Act, Mr. Foster said { “this act has constituted by far the i greatest resource in funds and serv{ice that crippled and handicapped children have ever had available.” There are 864 crippled children certified by the Marion County Welfare Department to receive medical aid, and with eligibility increasing at the rate of 100 a month, it is expected 1500 children will be beneficiaries by January, 1939, Mr. Foster said,

| I cannot conceive of the manner in

which the creation of a housing | authority would infringe on anyone’s liberty, unless the gradual in-! sistence that landlords provide de- | cent, safe and sanitary accommo- | dations to tenants would be con- | sidered any infringement of land- | lords’ liberties. “Personally, I cannot see that lib- | erty demands that a landlord be |

| entitled to rent his unsafe and in- |

sanitary dwelling facilities to ten- |

| ants any gnore than it demands that |

a butcher is entitled to sell bad |

| meat to his customers.”

As for the Authority's responsibil- | ity, Mr. Stanton said that the Au- | thority would be subject to all building codes and ordinances, its commissioners could be removed by the Mayor, its finances would be subject to State audit and control, and | its projects would require Council | approval before it could enter into! a contract with the federal Government. | The Council received a letter from | the Industrial Union Council of In- | claiming to represent C. I. O. workers, and asking for favorable action “at a very early | date.” | Merritt Harrison, architect who helped design Lockefield Gardens, ! $3,000,000 slum - clearance project ! now in operation here, also addressed the Council and urged it to

| pass the resolution.

Questioned by Councilmen, Mr. explained the financial setup of the proposed Authority and its other functions. Mr. Oren, who has said “there are no slums in Indianapolis” and | has termed the proposed authority “the rottenest setup I ever saw.” questioned the 60-year retirement provided for return of Federal aid. He said, “There wouldn't be any |! houses left in 60 years.” | Edward Raub, Democratic Coun- |! cil president, added, “The new houses would be unsanitary by then.”
