for $200,000 from the Reynolds ^6 Federal Gov

Marvelous progress ha= been
made, and It has been established,
beyond the shadow of a doubt,
that syphilis is a major public
health problem, affecting the
body politic very vitally, econom
ically as well as socially. Dare we
hide our hetads in the sands of un
concern, in the face of facis that
have been brought out and the
work that has been accomplished

which is available any minute of
any day, I was able to tcH the
members of the Foundation ex

up to the present time, as well as
what we hope to accomplish in
the future." Dr. Reynolds said.
"We are in a position to keep
track of every case of syphilis
that has been reported, by race,
age, sex and location, including
changes of residence of those
under treatment, as well as de-
liiiauents.

Goal 100 Counties
"While the members of the
Reynolds Foundation, with whom
I conferred in New York, unhesi
tatingly increased this year’s
grant to $200,000, after hearing
how we have used what they al
ready have given us, yet they ap
preciate the fact that syphilis
cannot be eliminated with a pro
gram in sixteen or even sixty
counties, 'but what is 'being done
must be taken as an index to
greater things yet to come,
through an awakened public con
sciousness of a statewide need.
We must meet our solemn .".spon-
si'bility in one hundred counties

Aim To Dig Up
Townsend Bill
Washington, March 21. —A
drive to force a vote on the re
vamped Townsend old age pen
sion bill ’oegan in the House to
day.
Representative Hendricks, Dem
ocrat of Florida, leader of last
year’s unsuccessful fight for the
original measure, introduced a
resolution to make debate in or
der, on the bill. He said he did
noi expect the rules committee
would approve it, and, therefore,
would circulate a petition when
the necessary seven days have
elapsed to force the bill to the
floor. The measure now is resting
in one of the House ways and
C«Tn «d “~ ""'V

sbould not be lost sight of. Our
peo.t)lc should bear in mind that
this fund is being e.x.peuded in
only sixteen organized counties
I hat have matched the Reynolds
V ;iiul for the control and eradica
tion of syplulis. There are sixty
other counties in the Stale which
are receiving $15S.000 from Fed
eral funds made available
thMingh the passage of the Lafol-
lette-Bulwinkle Bill, plus what
these counties already were do
ing. which is highly inadequate
to carry on campaigns that will
measure up to those being car
ried on through the Reynolds
Fund. Just here I wish to point
out that one of the reasons we
were able to secure an additional
allotment from the Reynolds
Fund was that we showed that in
the sixteen counties and eight
cities where campaigns are being
waged, the saturation point had
been reached, that is, that the
rnoney available was not suffici
ent to provide for any further ex
pansion of the work or even to
meet existing needs caused by de
linquents and other factors that
must be taken into account. There
are, in the face of what we are
doing in seventy-six counties, six
teen of which are beneficiaries of
the Reynolds Fund and sixty of
w'hich receive Federal aid, still
twenty-four countios left which
do not participate In either of
these funds. The State and out

last year, be said, have informed
him that they are anxious to vote
for it now.
Hendricks said the new mea.s-
urc differed from last year’s bill
chiefly in that It would impose
a gross income tax of 2 per cent
Instead of the graduated transac
tions tax. Income up to $3,000 a
year would be exempt.
Shortly after Hendricks acted,
the House heard the Townsend
bill described as the Republican

control of the government.
