...around uselessness of which they may have been guilty . . . while they were putting in their time. The Townsend Plan makes no discrimination. It would pension, at the rate of $200 a month, a vast number of itchy old loafers who never were willing to pack their own weight and earn their room on earth at any time in their lives. . . . For a President to admit, however, that such a thought had crossed his mind would be to arouse the phony fury of all the mammy singers in the country and bring down upon himself the accusation of slandering every...
Swift. A steel man would be dissatisfied to earn only $11,432,000 net on a gross of $619,000,000.

Calif., later in Los Angeles. After her longtime accompanist, Jean Dansereau, had opened the program with some Debussy piano music, Mary Garden swept on the stage in her oldtime glamorous way.
