Do -You Remember
"Pie -In -The -Sky"?
Out of the Great. American
Depression sprang some marvel-
ous panaceas -bat" none more
marvelous than the, Townsend
Plan. Its founder was lean, bard-
coiiared. Dr. Francis Everett
Townsend, and: he got the idea,
he piked to say later, on. a morn -
leg in 1933, while shaving in the
bathroom of his t'nadest cottage
in Lang Beach, Calif. Through
the window "be saw two 'regged
wounen grubbing 'in the garbage
cans in his alley.
"Ale -trent of invectives' .tore
out of nae," Dr. Townsend would
recall: "Be dashed off .:a pare-'
phlet: If,prop sed $200-a-montle
pension to a retired person over
60 in 'scrip to he spent, within a
month. ,
Before long, aa. estimated 30
million people had rallied
around the ` pie in Dr. Town.-
send's,'sky. The: way wa.s, easy.
When as many as .100 .paid. 25.
cents each`for a copy of the new'
gospel, they could''form a Town-
send .Club; About -8;0.40 such
clubs became a 'liege political
force overnight
In those' days, any' candidate
:for Congress usually made haste
" to' • make his peace with the
Townsendites. At one time, Dr.
Townsend himself defied a Con-
- ,gressional committee looking: in-
. to his followers' finances -and
was forgiven. a 30 -day jail se,'tt-
ence by Franklin D. Roosevelt ,.
Ungratefully, the single-minded.
old doctor even tried to elect his
own President, the Union Party
candidate Wiliiani Z,em'e, in
1936.
.Early this month at the age of
93, Dr.' Townsend died in a Los
Angeles hospital. His Townsend-
lies
ownsendlies had shrunken into 2,000
clubs whose ,purposes nowadays
etre social. " The social -security
prograrehhedlong. sinee .robbed j
the TOwnsendi tee ef much of their -
force. But the biggest blow was"
the World War It -inspired booth,
because Townsend's basic pian.
Was never •intended• jest to get
pensions for old' folks. What `le
wanted= wean' "to end poverty. If
old people, got -pensions: he rea-
soned, 'they
