Before bidding them “God speed.” Dr. Townsend told the 35000 enthusiasts at the rally that when they receive the pension money “we will map out a program of spending for you.” “Most of vou will have more than you ever had before.” he said. “Yau'll ‘have to learn how to spend it. course, there will be lots of things like shoes and clothes that you will have to buy.’
