HOOSIER VOTE BY PARTY DUE ON OLD AGE AID

Present Townsend Plan Bill Would Pay $200 Monthly As Pensions. i

ATTACKED BY BOEHNE

Schulte Likely to Be Only Democrat in Favor Of Passage.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, May 31.—Hoosier Congressmen will divide on almost strict party lines on the Townsend Plan vote, it appeared today as de-

bate on the $200-a-month old-age pension measure got under wav under a “gag rule.” Rep. Charles A. Halleck is the only Republican from the state who is listed as likely to oppose the bill] and Rep. William T. Schulte the| only Democrat likely to support it.| Although Mr. Halleck is dean of | the Indiana Republicans in the] House, the six other G. O. P. mem- | bers have deserted his leadership to follow that of Rep. Gerald W. Landis. Mr, Landis, an avowed Townsendplanner, is a member of the Bipartisan Steering Committee which today divided the debating time for proponents of the bill.

$200 Set as Maximum

in In-|

He contends that the tax diana would run around £73.500.000 the first year and the payment for all persons of 60 years or over| would be $30.50 the first month. | The redrafted bill, however, sets $200 a month as the maximum and Rep. John W. Boehne Jr. (D. Ind), a member of the Ways and Means Committee, pointed out today that] Dr. Francis E. Townsend, author of the plan, has always held that the $200 must be paid. Dr. Townsend appeared as a witness before the Committee several weeks ago, but the measure then | pending was somewhat different than the one to be voted on late today or tomorrow. Rep. Boehne today presented figures regarding the cost of the | measure in Indiana if the $200 a month is paid. It would range from $510.859,710 to $638,600,580 for the pension payments alone

Hits Consumer Burden

This sum would be pyramided upon the other Federal taxes, which amounted to $114,163.319.50 in 1938, he pointed out. ‘I shall oppose any measure that puts such a tremendous burden on the consumers, as the Townsend plan does through the sales tax, which they call a transaction tax.” Rep. Boehne declared. “This measure entirely ignores a fundamental of any just taxation and that is the ability to pay. Under the scheme, the poor people, who are the largest consumer group. will pay most of the benefits for the old people.” i The per capita tax, under the $200 monthly payment, would range from $147.69 (if eight million pensions are paid) to $184.62 if 10 million are paid. Mr. Boehne pointed out.

)

Landis Urges Passage

Rep. Landis took the floor today and urged passage of the bill, citing figures from the Indiana gross income tax as an argument in its favor. The transaction tax provided bv the measure is comparable to the Indiana levy, he declared. He condemned the present pension system in the state as inadequate. ‘In the State of Indiana the average amount of old-age assistance is $16.39.” he said. “The lowest county receives an average of $7.46, the highest county receives] an average of $24.66 | ‘Lets give our old people all of} them, a liberal pension without any! strings to it, at no more cost to the taxpavers.” He estimated the number eligible for the pension in the state at 200.000.

Backed by Townsend

All of the Republican Congressmen, including Rep. Halleck, had! Townsend Plan indorsement Res cause Rep. Halleck is often m tioned as a possible Senatorial ckididate in 1940, but is opposed to the bill. Townsend planners now are talking up Mr. Landis as a possible G. O. P. Senatorial nominee, it was learned. Reps. Harness, Grant, Gillie, Johnson and Springer are the] Republicans slated as likely to vote! for the Townsend Bill along with Rep. Landis. Rep. Springer, however, went to Muncie to deliver a Memorial Day address and had not returned at noon today. Democrats listed as likely to vote | against the Townsend Plan are] Reps. Ludlow, Larrabee, Boehne| and Crowe.
