Townsend Denies Selfish Aim Behind Pension Drive
Dr. F E Townsend testified before a packed house committee in Washington denying he started the old age pension movement for personal gain. He attacked the committee as unfriendly, defended his defense fund appeal, and said millions are needed to carry on the movement while noting old party avenues remain the only political expression open to supporters. He acknowledged receiving about 65,000 from his organization and dismissed claims of misusing funds, insisting contributors trust him to distribute funds to the cause.

New Jersey Primaries Quiet as Voters Choose Delegates
New Jersey voters reported a quiet, light turnout four hours after polls opened as Republicans and Democrats chose presidential preferences and delegates. Landon led GOP support with all five at-large delegate pledges backing him. Democratic rosters were unopposed for Roosevelt’s 32 convention votes. The Jersey Justice clash between Hoffman and Fort drew more interest than the presidential race, with both parties campaigning for Senate, House, and state seats.

Denied Lunch Money While Earning Million in Hollywood
In Los Angeles on May 19 the Mary Miles Minter case surfaces as attorney Norman Sterry portrays Charlotte Shelby as keeping the actress penniless while she earned a fortune.
