(Central Press) TOWNSEND PENSION MAY WIN BY 1939 Foes Say It Would be Ulti mate, in Taxes. With End to all Income SITUATION QUEER ONE Liberals Find Themselves Lined Up With Bankers and All Seared; Pessimists Are Gloomy' Over the Outlook By lf.slif: f.k iik.l New York, Dec. 4.—By 1939 the old age pensioners will have power enough in Congress to put through a drastic pension plan. That seems to be the outlook now’ to men who have made a study of the situation. The TownsendlteS assert they will control the 1937 Congress (elected in Novem ber. 1936). but that seems improbable. Both old parties arc beginning to be alarmed, as arc far-seeing business men. Between now and 1939 an attempt will be made to “educate” tbe people against the Townsend plan, with its turnover tax. A tax on every’ trans action would snuff out business, lead ing business authorities are agreed. That would he the ultimate of taxes, the tax to end all taxes—by ending all income, business leaders believe. In the meantime, other inflationary processes may beat the Townsend plan to the debacle, according to the views of the most gloomy. Every ten dency is toward the expansion of cre dit and money, in the belief that this will spread wealth all around, these observers believe. The people seem hell-bent upon i finding an easy road to the distribu ! tion of wealth. They thus may bind (Continued on Puge Four.)

BY J. C. BASKERVILL, Raleigh, Dec. 4.—The remodeled prison hospital, in the west wing of the Central Prison here, is now one of the most modern and complete pri son hospitals in the entire United States according to both health and prison authorities. As a result of this new hospital wing, located in the por tion of the prison which has been completely fireproofed, it is now pos sible to provide whatever medical and surgical attention is needed for the more than 8,000 prisoners in the State Prison Sy’stem without, taking them to any outside hospital, according to Dr. George S.

The .State Department head made this statement in parrying a diroet question on whether new legislative j authority would be required to em bargo war materials as distinguished from actual arms and munitions. Without commenting directly on reports that legislation must precede any official step to halt shipments of such commodities as oil and cotton, Hull said there had been no variation from government policy as set forth in previous announcements aimed at our curtailing excess shipments of war supplies to the belligerents. The present neutrality law makes it mandatory upon the President to declare an embargo on exports of arms, ammunition and implements of war. It has been the general opinion i in responsible quarters that this doe* not permit tin extension of the em bargo to materials such as copper and oil, despite their value in the con duct of military campaigns.
