6,000 TOWNSENDERS ~ i MLL ABOUT CHICAGO INPRST CONVENTION White Haired Throng Waits for Leader to Appear at In- augural Session Chicago, Oct. 24—(7)—A crowd of oldsters officially estimated at 6,000 milled through the corridors and ballrooms of a swanky downtown Chicago hotel Thursday in Dr. F. E. ‘Townsend's first national convention of his followers. Sixty per cent of the delegates, dozens of them ¥ hite haired, were over 60, according ‘to Dr. Townsend’s staff of assistants. That is the age at which, under the Townsend plan, all citizens would be retired with $200 @ month from the government purse on the condition that they spent it every 30 days. ‘The delegates, who sang and cheer- ed as they waited in the hotel ball- room for Dr. Townsend to appear, were on hand to launch a drive “in every congressional district” for pas- “sage, in the next session of congress, of the Townsend Plan bill, introduced by Rep. Stephen McGroarty, Los An- geles Democrat, at the last congress. One Hitchhiker Arrives Besides the delegates who arrived by bus and train, many of them at- tending their first national convention of any kind, there were others who came by harder routes. One of them ‘was Mrs. Mary E. Miller, 58-year-old Denver, Colo., housewife, who caught a ride to Salina, Kas., and then hitch- hiked to Chicago. Townsend badges, with the legend “Work for Youth—Security for the Aged,” and Townsend banners iden- tified the delegates. One of the ban- ners said: “The three emancipators— Wash- ington, Lincoln and Townsend.” Many of the delegates were beyond the age at which under the doctor's plan they would quit work and begin living on the $200 a month pension. He's 90 But Present “I think I’ve earned it,” said the eldest of them, J. C. Manning, who had. traveled by automobile from Los An- geles, Calif, at the age of 90. “But that isn’t the idea. This plan would stop all these suicides, and the worrying that’s-behind them. Roose- velt will come around to this, you wait ‘and see.” A gentle, white haired woman shook a vigorous finger at a Nebraska farmer, “Four hundred members in two months, mind you—400!” she bragged. Light airplane clubs sponsored by the Canadian government showed an Ancrease in membership during ‘the past year, with 2200 members enrolled in 22 clubs.

Adjustment Program | | Bxplaining the Wheat —_—— Adjusted Acreage Provides Adequate Wheat for Domestic < 3 z Adequat Acreage ‘37,000.01 ‘This chart shows how the loss changed the wheat acreage situation in this country. The first col- umn shows that from 1930 to 1932 our farmers averaged 66 million acres planted to wheat, although were producing wheat for which there was no profitable market. The second column shows that 50 million acres usually produce enough wheat for our domestic use produce all we can expect to export. Because of severe crop dam- age this year, somewhat more than 57 million acres is expected to be planted for the 1936 crop. The figures are based on average yields. This is the second of a series of four illustrated explanations of the wheat adjustment program. The charts were prepared by the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and furnished to The Bis- marck Tribune by T. W. Gildersleeve, extension editor of the North Dakota, Agricultural college. 3 Export of export markets for wheat has about 9 million of these acres and that 7 million acres more will PARADE PROSPECT TERRIFIES JIMMY Walker Grows Sentimental As He Packs His Trunk to N.

The question may carry the court back to an old argument between the followers of President Madison and adherents of Alexander Hamilton. The constitution gave congress the power: “To lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the com- fare...” Madison said this “spending power” could be used only in connection with other powers specifically granted to congress by the constitution, but Hamilton and his followers contend- ed, attorneys say, that power to col- lect money for “the general welfare” carried with it power to spend the money, unhampered by the specific limitations on congress’ law-making power in the constitution. iSunshiny Week-End Is Promised by Nature St. Paul, Oct. t. 24 —()—Moderate temperatures crept futher into the northwest Thursday as the weather- man strengthened his prediction for) '@ warm, sunshiny week-end.
