Townsend Pension Plan
(Received March 31, 8.10 p.m.)
New York, March 30.
Dr. Francis E. Townsend propose., to establish “academies of democracy” in each of the 435 Congressional districts to teach his followers the details of his pension plan. No offers of loans which he is inviting have yet been received. Dr. Townsend hopes to repay the loans from the profits of a weekly newspaper. Meanwhile Mrs. Ruth Chatfield, a civic leader at Baldwin, Long Island, has asserted that the Townsend plan starts at the wrong end. She proposes a similar loan of 10,000,000 dollars to stimulate the birthrate by paying a bonus of 500 dollars to parents for each child.
