SECRET HAVEN WORKSHOP OF TECHNOCRACY New Charts and Statistics Prepared in New York Skyscraper ‘Plant.’ Fnllowin* U Ihr rr ond dispatch in a •rir dralin* with the physical Prnperlle. of Irrhnorrary; BV OTIS PEABODV SWIFT I nlted Press Mart Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 18.-Plant No. 2 of Technocracy's organization is a quiet, spacious room overlooking a scene of feverish industry in mid-Manhattan. Here draftsmen and calculators *re completing anew group of charts and statistics to be announced shortly, intended to showhow the age of power, under proper control, further can eliminate human toil. Preliminary calculations indicate the figures may prove sensational, but in the laboratory quiet of plant No. 2. one senses none of this. He sees only the stooped, silent men. figuring carefully, drawing lines across endless charts. Inspection of this working plant was permitted only on condition that its address be kept secret. It is an iron-clad rule of technocracy that no stranger shall be admitted there. Twenty Men at Work On an upper floor of a skyscraper, it is reached first by express elevator, and then by an obscure stairway leading to an isolated section of the building. None of the thousands who work in other offices of the skyscraper is aware that the building houses the Technocracy laboratories. None recognizes the figure of Howard Scott on his regular visits to inspect the progress of the week. The plant itself consists of but one room, twenty-five by forty feet. Twenty great drafting tables are the only furniture. Twenty men in shirt sleeves bend over these tables, working, with slide rule and calculating machines, on final checks, corrections and re- j visions of the large charts spread out there. Energy Survey Is Made These are charts of “the energy survey of North America." a project which has created 300 such charts in the last ten years; which calls for 3.000 charts depicting every energy activity of the continent. The charts themselves are racked against one of the walls. “That's all our machinery." says Dal Hitchcock, supervisor of re- j search under Scott. “We use green sheets of metric cross section paper. ' forty-eight by thirty inches, bought in rolls. We have used hundreds of feet this fall. The paper manufacturers tell us we are the world's largest consumers. “We use slide rules, calculating | machines, lettering pens and styli. j We buy waterproof ink by the pint, j ... “But the real mainspring of the j ’S project is the research worker. It j takes twelve or eighteen such 1 workers to feed facts up to each of these tables. Workers Are "In the Field" ‘•Right, now the workers are out! in the field—at the Columbia university library, the Engineering So- | ciety building library, the library j of the Society of Automotive Engineers—checking government reports, corporation reports, figures of various foundations; every source of data, collected by all manner of bodies, which shows the ! trends of physical growth. These facts are brought in here, collated, integrated, analyzed, corrected for variation. And. then, the chart is drawn. "We carry the project no further. Our interest is only in obtaining the final fact. Developed through pure research. We have found, as you know, that those facts point inevitably to the neces- ! sity of an early re-examination of our present social structure with a view to adapting it to the physical facts of this high energy era." (The next dispatch will tell about the work of technocracy’s “continental committee.”) COMMANDS DRY AGENTS Evansville Man Becomes Acting i Chief of Southern Indiana District.
