Within a month the Town
send mail has show’n a sharp
falling-off. A querulous note
of disappointment creeps Into
letters from folks who once
believed that $200-amonth
pensions were just around the
corner. Members who/timidly
tempted public wrath with de-
nunciatory speeches have heen
surprised to receive commen-
datory instead of critical re-
sponses.
The Townsendites are
quabbling among themselves,
some now favor only a $100-
a-month payment, while a few
follow senator Borah in his
proposal .for liberalization of
existing old-age pensions. Al-
though sympathetic to the
basic idea, the man from Idaho
has helped a lot to stir dis-
sension in the inner ranks. In
friendly conferences with the
leaders he has betrayed a skep-
ticism that has become con-
tagious. They always leave

A desperate battle to penetrate a
blinding blizzard and take food to
marooned-islanders over treacher-
ous Chesapeake bay ice left a state
policeman dead and five persons
recovering today from exhaustion
I and exposure.
I The six were members of a
! group of 15 who set out late ys-
i terday from Crisfield pushing a
I ton of food on sleds. They braved
j a bitter gale lashing their faces
I with swirling snow flakes in an

bay.
The man who lost his life was
Sgt. William V. Hunter. He drop-
' ped exhausted and died on an ico
floe. His body rested today aboard
the coast guard cutter Travis,
whose crew recovered it and res-
cued three of those suffering from
exposure in the daring relief mis-
sion.
One of those exhausted was
Maj. E. H Garey, head of tho
Maryland state police and leader
of the relief expedition. Garey
along with Richard McCready of
Crisfield and State Policeman C.
A. Disney was locked up uncon-
scious on I he ice and rescued by
the Travis crew.
