WARREN
(Andrews Tells j
Large Audience Of
Townsend Plan
The court room was crowded beyond
seating capacity yesterday by
representatives of both races wTho
gathered there for the purpose of
hearing W. B. Fisher of Andrews,
N. C., discuss the Townsend Old
Age Plan, which provides that the
government pay to all citizens of
the United States over 60 years of
ArtrtA ?
age $<:uu per month tne rest or
their lives upon the condition that
they give up their jobs to the
younger unemployed and that they
spend the entire amount each
month.
The speaker contended, it was
said, that if this money was spent
every month that it would flow
right back to the government and
in the long run cost Uncle Sam
very little. Following his speech he
offered phamplets for sale, which
further explained the plan, at a cost
of 5 cents and 25 cents. A collection
was also taken up.
PEOPLE BEING MISLED,
SAYS WELFARE OFFICER
People all over this county are
being mislead by Old Age Pension
plans, Miss Lucy Leach, county welfare
officer, stated this week. Their
hopes have been lifted, she said, until
they think all that is necessary
for them to do to get some money
from the government is to sign a
petition or fill out a paper. "They
are about to worry me to death
crowding into my office asking if
the government has sent any
money to Warren county for them,"
she complained.
Two Negroes
Escape Prison By
Climbing Fence
Taking their leave over a back
fence, George Fields and James
Johnston, negroes, escaped from the
Warren County Prison Camp on
Wednesday evening after having
cooked supper for the other men
confined in Che state's institution.
Supt. Aycock stated yesterday
afternoon that the men had been
traced as far as Littleton but that
neither one had yet been apprehended.
The search is still underway
for them.
Fields was committed to the prison
several months ago after he had
been found guilty of breaking into
Mustian's store, located near Whites
Building Supplies on the edge of
Warrenton. Johnston was serving
time for larceny, having been convicted
of stealing goods from a box
car.
Both the convicts were A grade
men and were used around the
camp as cooks.

proponents of the Hill liquor bill ir
played a smart hand when they p<
sent the measure to the Senate tl

tion. It is pointed out that the State i\
revenue and appropriations bills tl
are about two million dollars out w
of balance and legislative pay has
ended. Some observers believe the
liquor bill, which would permit c<
twelve or more counties to vote for bi
State operated liquor stores, will tc
repose in the money comittee until ol
the anticipated 100-day deadlock on bi
the revenue bills occurs. Then the e<

Hill bill could be trottea out tu u*i- u
ance the budget for the next two c<

i stead of earmarking it for relief k
purposes as set forth in the bill, lc

SEED LOAN Bill
BECOMES LAW
'
Congress M ikes Available
$60,000,000 For Financing
Tenant Farmers
PRINT FORMS LOCALLY
Washington, March 21.?Congress
yesterday made available $60,000,000
for financing the small tenant
farmer with his spring: planting,
-
with adoption by the House of the
conference report on the deficiency
bill.
Immediately upon adoption, Senator
Smith, ch? irman of the Senate
agriculture committee and author
of the seeti loan measure took
steps to get the money out in the
country without delay.
Alhough the law provides that
forms on which farmers must apply
for seed loan funds are to be printed
at the government printing office
here, Senator Duncan Fletcher,
chairman of the joint committee
on printing, said this could be suspended,
and tliat specimen forms
would be sent to the local printers
in various agricultural districts
where they can be prepared immediately,
distributed through the
Farm Credit Administration field
offices and made out by applicant
farmers at once.
Smith said he hoped the FCA
would be making loans from the 60
million dollar fund within several
days.
The seed loan authorization bill
was passed some time ago, but no
appropriation was made. For a time
it appeared the money would come
from the President's $4,880,000,000
work-relief bill, but when this got
lost in committee after ;he Senate
vote on the McCarran amendment,
it began to look as if the small
farmer was not going to get any
government help in financing his
crop this year.
Senator Smith, however, succeed
ed in having the money carried in j
the deficiency measure, and yesterday's
action clears the track for
speedy issuance of the loans which
will enable the farmer to get his
crop in the ground. \
