A Permanent Fixture Washington has not yet recovered from its surprise at the apparent strength of the Townsend plan move ment as indicat€<i_by^the enthusiasm at the Geveland^ convention.TTiat the Townsend plan is utterly impracti cable is the opinion of most economic aut^rities; that it is politically po tentially powerful is conceded by ev- ei-y political expert. The old-age pen- ^sion idea lias''taken possession of an apparently increasing proportion of the American people. - Gov. Landon’s pronouncement on old-age pensions was an endorseipent of the present plan of federal co operation. with the states to take care of the needy aged, to which he add ed the promise to make the sociaf se curity act workable in its other as pects. , _ The old’-age insurance benefit and the unemployment insurance features of the social security act have been under critical examination for a year now and considerable concern is ex. pressed over the possibility of admin istering these phases of the law from -Washington. Washington forecasters are in agreement, however, that whether Mr. Roosevelt is -.reelected or Mr. Landon takes his place, some kind of an *old-age pension system, at least for every elderly person in need, is a permanent fixture in the Anjerican" system from now* on. ' _ - /-- Landon’s Acceptance / Naturally, political comm^ on Gov. Landon’s acceptance / speech ranges from enthusiastic/ endorse security to be opened in Columbia,' Charles ton, and Raleigh, N. C. The program approved by the board has been disclosed by Henry P. Seide- mann^ coordinator for the' social se curity group. - ' Under the plan, to be put into ef fect immediately A^ter the 'November election, every worker of the 26,000,- 000 to 30,000,000 employed in the United States is to be enumerated. An emblem carrying a serial number will be given every worker to serve through.life as his record of his ben- Patroajn.act.

K Aiwri perament of the commehtator.,_._ The "point upon which the opposi tion fire is focused is what he said about the rights of- labor to\organire. His declaration that, if elected, he would use his official power Vs far as possible to guarantee to workers the right to belong to any union or no union, as they individually chose, either a company union, a craft un ion, or an industrial union, “without interference or coercion from ^any source” is the sore spot with or ganized labor. Labor organizations do not like the intimation that the power of govern ment will not be placed behind them in their efforts to organize workers. Mr. Landon’s acceptance of the com pany union system of organization is also not relished by labor leaders. How far this may have the effect of further alienating the labor vote is a good deal of an open question. One of the shrewdest .political ana lysts here points out that 80 per cent of organized labor is • already aalely in the Roosevelt camp and that Mr. Landon’s remarks nuiy have alienated another five per cent. Jhst what- this^ strength -amoui^ to and- how effective it ntiay be in de termining the result 'Of the election .in close and doubtful states is some thing upon which nobody cares to make definite prediction. Civil ScrvicCjRefonn The a^ion of President. Roosevelt in placing all postmasters under the conrpetitive civil service system is va riously interpreted. -Republican com mentators point to it as an effort to insure permanency. in office of the large number of j^litically appointed Democratic postmasters now on the job. Democratic spokesmen cite this action as proof of the sincerity of-Mr. Roosevelt’s desire to take the Admin istrative functions of governmept out of party politics. Pure ami nonpartisan civil service reformers are naturally pleased at winning, at least a partial victory. They point out, however, that this has not been brought about by an act of congress, but by an executive or der, which any future president can revtke at will. I., What the Civil Service Reform league is seeking is a law of congress extending, the classified civil service to include all postmasters. Such a law seemed very close to enactment at the last^ sesaion congress but failed to paw. wm Bahiaaea-PatSan Act Washington it still trying to figure tlie probable idfeets of the Bobiason- Tou are giving Chevrolet the ^’eatest year in its history, just as Chevrolet Is giving yon ■TMUniUC BRJUn (Poebis AcHm. tsW A^wlellaf e cfeww ef bseelr, e 4sfSss8S IwfMeiidetf To the millkm people Who haire'atready bouflit new 1936 Cheyrolete ..«. and to the tefUk ot thoti* aandsol other peopleadsoaranoW baying them...
