Committee Wi WASHINGTON, D. C. After a week's arduous labor in considering the old-age pension law which the Ways and Means Committee will soon report to the House in accordance with the message of the President delivered at the start of the present session of Congress. Representative Robert It. Doughton, 1 committee chairman, today scored the Townsend play and said "some of these people backing it are nothing more than public enemies." "I receive probably 200 petitions 1 and letters a day that come from all parts of the country advocating the Townsend plan,* 'said the veteran legislator. "I try to read all that come from my own state, but Uie gravity of the whole situation is that the Townsend plan has fallen into the hands of people who are playing on the credulity and ignorance of the people. Aged people with little or 110 means are being led to believe that the proposed pension of S200 a month, if they spend that sum during the current month, now awaits them and they are paying over money. "A weekly newspaper is being i sold to those beonie. 'ihev aro con Itributing to s huge fund to maintain a mammoth organization, when there is 110'possibility that such a bill has the slightest semblance of becoming a law. It would take $20,000,000,000 a year to pay such pensions, and this is haif the public income. People Deluded "These people are being deluded into the belief that a sales tax could be imposed to pay such pensions. Never before was there such a swindle being put over in this country, and something should be done MRS.

Pamphlets Issued "The movement for the bam owl' protection has now found expressio in a pamphlet issued by the Roya Society for the Protection of Bird for distribution among farmers an others likely to benefit from the lit tie creature's destruction of vermin. "A writer in The Times of Londoi observes that 'it is gratifying: to not that the old superstitions regardinj the <xbird of ill owen" is giving plac to a lively interest in its welfare,' am adds: " 'A short time ago a Westrnorelam farmer's wife told me she had offeret her brother-in-law a couple of kittens as she noticed that he had no cats oi his farm. She was much surprise* when he refused them, saying tha he had no need of c. ts, for he ha* two pairs of owls nesting in his barn and they killed all his rats, mice an* moles for him very effectively. I paii him a visit and obtained a photo graph of one of the old owls leavinj the barn where she and her mate ha* a family of young ones of variou ages.'"

Asked if he would ask Congress to investigate t. e background of the propaganda now being carried on for the Townsend plan, Mr. Doughton replied. "I haven't time to handle such a thing now with the committee mcptincr daily, but someone should go to the bottom of i it and get the facts. It is time that I the people be told they are being filched and imposed upon, and they should be informed, if possible, how they are being swindled out of money to back such a shimerical and fantastic scheme in Congress." Mr. Doughton said that the proposed bill to be reported by the committee would be along the lines asked by the administration with the first pensions, shared equally J by state and the government, star LIing at 70, perhaps, and the age limit lowered later.
