. TOWNSEND URGES -HOUSE CONGRESS Werking Majority Is Seen for Pensionists Among Representatives. @Y the Associated Press. CLEVELAND. July 14—A one- house Congress, with the membership reatly reduced from the present size f the House of Representatives, was Proposed today by Dr. F. E. Townsend, 8d-age pension leader. Flanked by his advisers, the doctor took time out from conferences pre- liminary to the Townsend National Convention, which meets here tomor- row, to suggest the one-house legis- lative system and to predict the Townsend organization would have a “working majority” in the House and “a number of Senators favorable to our cause” in the next Congress. At the same time, Dr. Townsend as- sailed both the Democratic and Re- publican parties and said “the time has come to wipe out partyism,” which e described as “un-American and un- democratic.” / Offers Party Substitute. In place of political parties, Dr. Townsend said he would substitute “town hall and neighborhood group” meetings. | He disclosed that Representative ! William Lemke, the Union party can- didate for President, had been invited to become a member of the Townsend Board of Directors. Lemke's answer | had not been received at Townsend headgquarters here today. ‘Townsend officials reported 9,000 vot- ing delegates were registered today, with more expected before tomorrow’s opening convention session. Dr. Townsend had little to say re- garding his plans to pay monthly pen- sions of $200 to all persons over 60, the funds to be raised through a trans-| Actions tax. He indicated his opposition to a | Townsend party at this time and said | his organization would utilize the ma- | chinery of the two old partles to ac- ' complish its objectives. | Spurns Roosvelt, Landon. “I will never vote for Roosevelt, and T will never vote for Landon.” said | Dr. Townsend. "I don't know who I'll | vote for, but I would rather vote for a | Socialist than either of them. and | Lord knows I'm not a Socialist.” He added he was “opposed all the way through to the Democratic and | Republican parties as parties because they have failed to carry out their Ppromises to the people.” | Dr. Townsend said he expected the convention to take some definite ac- tion on the question of its participa- tion in the election campaign, but | what that decision would be, he said, was entirely up to the delegates. | Lemke is scheduled to address the convention at the closing session Sun- | day.

Their failure to show up makes it extremely difficult.” Asked if he expects the council to decide the vital issue today, Green said he couldn't make a guess. He did express the opinion that all of the C. I O. unions will be treated the same rather than suspending some and forgiving others. While the New Deal administration still was maintaining a hands-off pol- icy in the factional strife, a member of the council yesterday was named to head tae Democratic Naticnal Com- mittee’s labor division. He is Daniel J. Tobin, president of the strong team- sters’ union and supporter of Green. In a formal statement accepting the party post, Tobin declared that he did so after examination of the labor platforms of both parties. “The labor declarations in the Re- publican platform are less than they were at any time even in this same platform for the last 30 years,” he said.

A loss of at least 350,000,000 bushels occurred during the 30-day period. “In the case of rye, there was a| shrinkage of at least 7,000,000 bushels. “The barley loss during that time| is a little more difficult to encompass, but an estimate of 20,000,000 bushels would probably be regarded as very moderate. “The fact that the heavy losses in production: are compensated for some- what by increased price of the re- | maining product leaves the crop DON’T “Thou Shalt Nots” for Capital’s Citizens.

New moves considered as Federal agencies announced plans for lining up their forces behind afflicted cat- tlemen included a live-stock-purchas- ing program along the lines of the $111,000,000 outlay two years ago. Resettlement Administrator Rexford G. Tugwell made ready to set out tonight for Bismarck, N. Dak., where he will assume personal charge of the administration’s drought-relief activities. ‘With Tugwell will go Aubrey Wil- liams, assistant W. P. A. adminis- trator, and Joseph L. Dailey, assist- ant to Tugwell, who returned only yesterday from the drought area. In addition to organizing the emer- gency relief work, Dailey said, Tug- well is expected to continue studies of a permanent rehabilitation and resettlement program for arid areas of the Midwest, where crops have been ruined in several successive years. Dailey and W. W. Alexander, another assistant to Tugwell, said a large part of Western North and South Da- kota should be taken out of intensive crop cultivation and returned to grass for grazing. Now that grain crops in the drought areas nave been ruined, Dailey said, the administration’s chief problem is helping farmers preserve their cattle herds. Officials estimated that $15,- 000,000 in Federal funds would be needed now to help feed cattle until next Spring, and that if rains do not fall soon, the cost of saving the cattle will be about $30,000,000.
