Townsend Plan Defeated as House Votes 302 to 97
The Townsend Plan offering $50 monthly pensions for everyone over 65 was rejected in the House by 302 to 97 after years of advocacy by Townsend. A counterproposal to expand old age pensions to up to $40 monthly with state cost-sharing emerged from the Ways and Means Committee as both parties blame the other for the defeat. The piece also surveys possible 1940 presidential dynamics, noting Roosevelt’s potential third-term bid and Hull’s neutrality plan.

Control for Chinch Bugs Warns of Heavy Damage Ahead
Dr. Carl J. Drake, Iowa State College entomologist, warns that chinch bug damage could be heavy in many counties over the next 47 weeks, especially in the southern tiers. Farmers should count bugs in barley, rye, wheat and oats, noting eggs from the first generation will boost numbers 50 to 100 times. 90-95 percent of corn can be saved with proper control. Creosote and paper fences recommended, with state funds and creosote oil stock noted for purchase. contact H D Tate for field demonstrations.
