Rule.
Reorganization of the Republican

Howard M. Meyer, chairman of

said.
“We are prepared for a vigorous
campaign to restore the leadership

Nov. 4 May Find Rush County With
State’s Youngest, Prettiest Auditor
Feminine Deputy Files; Is
Only Democratic
Candidate.
Rush County may have the
youngest, piettiest, county auditor
in Indiana after Nov. 4.
Prettiest? Yes! prettiest—for Miss
Fern E. Jordan, 22, present chief
deputy auditor, has filed es the only
candidate on the Demociatic ticket
for county auditor, ana five men
are running for the same job on the
Republican ticket.
Miss Jordan doesn't believe in
counting votes before they are cast
any more than adage-makers do in
counting chickens, but she says
that if every one who says he’ll vote
for her will do so, she’s sure to win.
In Rush County and Rushville a
victory for a Democrat Is a man
sized job, but the town and county
organization pin tlv-ir faith on Miss
Jordan repeating for the party in
the auditor’s office.
Qualifies With Experience
She has been county auditor *n
duties, if not in name, since No
vember when her boss, County Au
ditor Edgar Stiers, became ill.
Mr. Stiers is the only elective of
ficial of his party in the courthouse.
Miss Jordan is modest about her
knowledge of tax rate making.
Knowing more about poor relief
bonds than lipstick brands, she is
reluctant to talk about her work.
“But I do get along well with
the three Republican county com
missioners since handling Mr" Stiers’
work,” she says.
Graduated from high school in
1931, she became a stenographer in
a lawyer’s office and in 1933 the
chief deputy auditor under Mr,
Stiers.

‘Pope Plan’ Is to Be
Subject of Senate. Probe
Inquiry Into Pension Idea of
Chiropodist to Follow
OARP Check.
BY MAX STERN .
Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, March 30.—The
'Pope plan” for pensioning all
Americans at 55, and increasing the
pensions as they grow older, is
scheduled to follow the Townsend
plan before the Bell Committee’s
searchlight.
Fathered by “Dr.” J. E. Pope, a
Tulsa chiropodist, who in the past
has promoted various schemes, this
plan has been operating throughout
the South and Southwest with suc
cess second only to that of the
Townsend plan. It has been win
ning thousands of supporters among
the Negroes and whites of Okla
homa, Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and
Illinois, and word comes from the
deep South that organizers are
barnstorming the cotton belt in
large numbers.
“Dr.” Pope was first to see gold
“in them thar hills.” He began pro
moting his scheme a full year ahead
of Dr. F. E. Townsend.
A Virginian, he moved to Arkan
sas, then to Texas, then to Okla
homa. In the spring of 1932 he
launched his “National Old-Age
Pension Association.”
Sells Eight-Page Tabloid
His method is not to organize
clubs or collect dues from members.
He prints and sells an oi'ht-page
tabloid called The National Forum
and Federal Old Age Pension Ad
vocate. It sells for a dollar a year— j
cash, not stamps—and the two-bit
pieces come tumbling in. “Dr.” Pope
claims a circulation of 100,000, but
he says he has "a lot of unpaid
subscriptions.”
Under the Pope Plan, Americans
are offered Federal pensions of S3O
at the age of 55; S4O from 60 to 65:
SSO for all past 65, “regardless of
income or worth.” No mention is
made of how the money is to be
raised.
“Dr.” Pope is sleek -and middle
aged, and has a sanctimonious air.
About two years ago Rep. Wright
Patman (D., Tex.) told “Dr.” Pope’s
life story on the floor of the House.
He said that during a quarter cen
tury Pope had been arrested and
convicted twice, and another time
indicted, for misuse of the mails and
frauds of various kinds.
Sent to Leavenworth
He was convicted in 1904 at Hous
ton, Tex., and sent to Leavenworth
for 18 months. In 1923 he was ar
j rested at Fort Worth and pleaded
; suilty to misuse of the mails in an
oil swindle, served 60 days and paid
a SSOO fine. In 1927 he was arrested
in Denver and indicted for a stock
selling scheme, “taking in over $lO,-
000.”
“The indictment,” added Rep.
Patman, “was dismissed because
Pope had evidently reformed and

at his Washington office if
the Patman statement were true
“Dr.” Pope showed irritation.
“Oh,” he said, “that’s all in the
past. Why bring that up?”
The Pope plan was embodied in a
bill introduced in the last Congress
by Rep. Disney (D.. okla.) and Sen
ator Capper (R., Kas.) in. the Sen
ate. Rep. Rogers (D., Okia.) later
became its most active sponsor in
Congress.
SCIENTIST TO PRESENT
STUDY OF RARE BIRDS
Cornell Ornithologist to Speak for
Nature Club.
Dr. Arthur A. Allen, Cornell Uni
versity ornithology professor, is to
describe his search with a micro
phone, sound mirror and motion
picture camera of the voiced of
vanishing birds Thursday at the
American Central Life auditorium.
Sound motion pictures of such
rare birds as the trumpeter swan,
sandhill crane, ivory-billed wood
pecker, water ouzel, lesser prairie
chicken and a golden eagle are to
be presented by Dr. Allen.
The pictures were obtained by
Dr. Allen and his co-workers in a
15,000-mile trip to the native
habitants of the birds. The ivory
billed woodpecker, sandhill crane
and trumpeter swan were once ref
dent of certain sections of Indiana.
The illustrated lecture is being
sponsored by the Nature Study Club
of Indiana. Samuel E. Perkins 111
is in charge of the event.
