July 15 (TP) Hunger marchers from all over Penn sylvania are wearing grins today as they srream out of Harrisburg and h?ad for home. They have reason, to be happy. Their immediate relief needs were met by the state legislature in a com promise $45,000.00 appropriation vot ed by the state senate. The com promise climaxed a bitter struggle be tween Democrats, led by Governor George H. Earle and the Republican senate majority. Relief officers have ordered double rations for the jobless to compensate for the week in which no state re lief was available because of the dead lock. Th? privations of that one week prompted the hunger march which ended at the state house in Harris burg. While senators wrangled over the relief question, more than 2.000 unemployed Pennsylvanians milled around the capitol with their loud de- ‘ mands for action. The demonstrators leaving Harris- | burg may smile but they are not 1 wholly satisfied. They want to know how long the $45,000,000 emergency ’ fund is supposed to last. The relief clients maintain that the fund cannot be stretched out until February, 1937, as indicated, and still provide a de cent standard of living. A decent llv- | ' :ng standard was set at the cost of | ' 64 cents a day per person by the marchers. 1 State Relief Administrator De Schweinitz advised a gathering of the i Jobless to battle any attempts to place ■j a time restriction on the $45,000,000 j I fund.

Farnsworth, In the meantime, is: tossing restlessly on a cot in the dis trict jail His request that he be sent to the municipal hospital for treatment has been denied, at least' temporarily.

The drastir "duction followed the withdrawal of ’ he British fl et concentration in wa- , ters flanking Italy. The war risk rate jumped last winter when Br tish and Italian relations were on tenther nooks. Farnsworth's former wife, who lives in Washington, declared today that she will not visit him in jail. She said that they hadn’t lived together for 1 eight years, and had been divorced for three. Said Mrs. Farnsworth—“l am sick and tired of it all. I’ve nothing to do with the whole business.” She -•her e.xpxained — want the names of her four, children to be dragged into the case. Uncle Sam's diplomatic experts are scanning records in the case of the former naval officer, John Semer Farnsworth, today. The state department, according to reliable reports, is considering the advisability of giving the imperial Japanese government official notice of Farnswqrth’s arrest on espionage charges. , Lost Rank In 1927 The former lieutenant-commander who was stripped of his rank in 1927, was accused of giving Japanese spies secret naval information. His arrest, which burst on the capital like a ( bombshell, marked the first time an 1 American naval officer had been faced with the grave charges. The seizure of the ex-officer followed jus tice department investigation which stretched over more than a year. Specifically, Farnsworth is charged with handing over to a Japanese spy a secret naval manual entitled: "The service of information and security.” The former lieutenant-commander, according to first reports, is accused of borrowing the book from an active officer and making photostatic repro ductions of its contents. These pho tostats allegedly were sold to Japa nese agents on May 15. . Arraigned before a federal commis sion at Washington, Farnsworth pleaded “not guilty.” Later, after he was jailed in default of SIO,OOO bond, the Annapolis graduate labelled the charges “baloney,” He maintain ed some naval paper? had been stolen ! from his home several years ago, but insisted that they were obsolete. He also admitted dealing with Chinese ! and Japanese authorities in an at tempt to sell a plane of his own de sign. but said neither deal' had any connection with naval secrets. Records proved that Farnsworth was court-martialed in 1927 on ' charges of “scandalous conduct.” At that time he was found guilty of bor rowing money from an enlisted man against naval regulations and later attempting to force the enlisted man to perjure himself. Sources close to the state depart ment said an official representation to Japanese Ambassador Saito is probable. The Japanese embassy al ready has denied all knowledge of | the charges against Farnsworth.

The possibility of such views being entertained by the Mayor of Savannah were very apparent in an interview given the Sa vannah Daily Times today by Miss Eleanor Worrill Dudley.

PENSION DISCIPLES TO SELECT CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT TOWNSEND SYMPATHIZ ERS GATHER AT AN. NUAL CONVENTION CLEVELAND, July 15 (TP)—About 10,000 disciples of the Townsend old age pension plan are waiting for the gavel co sound the opening of their annual convention in Cleveland to day. The session will be the Townsend group's second annual convention and it is attracting elderly folks—and a fair-sized sprinkling -of middle-aged and young people—from all over the nation. Dr. Francis E. Townsend, the Cali fornia physician who helped origi nal® the S2OO-a month pension plan, will preside over the meeting. He is looked upon as the number one mkn of the convention—the person who will steer the delegates to the im portant decisions to be made at the Cleveland parley. Candidate a Problem Chief of these decisions is the prob lem of whether the Townsendites should put their own presidential can didate in the 1936 campaign race. Dr. Townsend has ma'le several cryptic statements on this score in recent weeks, but, as the convention pre pared to come to order, It was gen erally agreed that the Townsendites will decide to hold off their presi dential asnirations until the 1940 cam paign . Another question due for discussion at the Cleveland convention is the Townsend group's position regarding Congressman William Lemke's new Union party. Father Charles E. Cough lin and his national union for so cial justice already has swung to Lemke's support. Dr. Townsend, has appeared to veer away from outspok en support of the Lemke drive appar ently h'.eding the warnings given him by several lieutenants who have en tered congressional campaigns on Re publican and Democratic tickets. Dissension Rumored Considerable dissension between leaders of the Towns?nd movement were rumored on the eve of the or ganizations convention. The gray haired leader of the organization, however, denied that there was any serious splits between sectional lead ers. Those attending the Townsend con vention are eager to hear .Dr. Town send's explanation of what he meant when he threatened a “peaceful up rising” unless the next congress adopted the S2OO a month pension plan. The threat was included in a speech Dr. Townsend delivered in California. At that time he said: "If the president and congress re fuse to incorporate the pension plan in the nation’s law during the next , term, I will lead a peaceful uprising to oust the president and all eon- i gress.” Townsend bowed today to the plan i which would distribute part of his ( personal power in the pension move ment among a national "advisory board ” , tion. Public health officials did ev- I erything in their power to prevent panic. They grabbed hypodermic need ' less and injected cholera anti-toxin in the arms of laboratory workers, the Egyptian police who arrested the sail or and part of the crew from the cruiser "London.” If no cholera i cases develop by tomorrow health of ■ flcials think the bacilli will have been killed by exposure to the air. If the deadly diieas? develops then the whole population of Alexandria—more than 573.0C® people—will be inoculated againat it. WEEK DAYS OC pay no more Published every day ex cepting Saturdays.

The negro labor hall- to which she refers is that of the Savannah union of the International Longshoremen’s Asso ciation. It is located several doors west of Miss Dudley’s studio. Flatly Accuses Gamble The presence of the labor hall act ually constitutes a public nuisance, she maintains. White women passers by and tourists directed to historic points of interest on Bay street have frequently been embarrassed by the careless use of obscene language and profanity employed outside the labor hall by loitering negro longshoremen. Miss Dudley said. She made the flat charge that Mayor Gamble s lack of action was due the fact that he had been in timidated by a few Yankee labor lead ers whom, she said, did not represent the true sentiment-of Savannah labor. "I have called upon Mayor Gamble several times,” Miss Dudley contin ued, “and. tPld. him of-ihe distressing and highly objectionable features of this negro meeting place.” ‘T asked the Mayor to close the place. The only answer the Mayor gave me was that he could not dis criminate against color. “At the meetings in this labor hall the union organisers, those earpet bagger whites of the present genera tion. tell the negro longshoremen that they are as good as any white man living. They tell them that the day is coming when the negroes are go ing to be working on the decks and the white men down in the ship holds. “I have asked the Mayor to send an officer to attend these meetings and learn for hlfnself just what goes on there but he has refused. ' The bluff on Bay street is a fav orite promenade of tourists on after noons and evenings in the summer. The Chamber of Commerce sends many of them there to view the old fort just beyond East Broad street and the old harbor light. It is a shame that these visitors are often shocked by the language which comes to their ears in passing the longshoremen's hall. "I do not know which is the worse, whether it is the disgraceful remarks so often heard outside the labor hall or the talks of white and black social eqcality which Mayor Gamble toler ates inside the meeting place."
