WORLD FLOODS TECHNOCRATS WITH LETTERS Hundreds Daily Received at Headquarters: Many Want Scott Lectures. ThU I* thr third and la.' of a xerte* of article, by OtU Peabody Swift on technochracy. B\' OTIS PEABODY’ SWIFT I nlted Pren* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Jan. 19—A bare little three-room suite that looks out upon the uproar of Fifth avenue and Forty-second street Is headquarters for the continental committee of technocracy. To this newly-created group the working scientists of technocracy send 400 to 500 letters received Dy them daily from all parts of the world. Requests for further data on technocracy that come from business clubs, economic societies, university groups, requests for magazine articles and radio talks, “mash notes” and plans t,o solve the problems of the world. Letters Abuse and Praise Here also come letters of abuse and notes of fulsome praise. So far there have been six letters from persons who claim to have invented the word “technocracy.” Two threatened suit. Today's mail included a plan, worked out in complete detail, to end depression by electrifying the W'orld. All these are answered here, briefly, by a staff w'hose business It is to see that the time of the research workers and group directors is not wasted. The newly installed telephone was ringing frequently when a correspondent visited the headquarters of the continental committee today. Referred to the number by this or that working member of the group, insistent voices were asking appointments to discuss publications of books on Technocracy, or to create Technocracy magazines (there are six so far, all unauthorized). Many Request Lectures Other voices, more insistent, urged that Howard Scott lecture before this or that civic, social or economic group. Told that Scott, the directing spirit behind Technocracy, was refusing further speaking engagements, urgent promoters bid SI,OOO for a lecture, and were amazed to be told that Technocracy was not interested in price and wanted no revenue. In the office flies, many written requests for speaking engagements are laid away. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Yale Economics Club, the Harvard Engineering School, a group from the metal trades, industries, the Advertising Women's Club of New York, liberal clubs of both I Massachusetts Institute of Technol- ! ogy and Johns Hopkins, are among the groups seeking lectures. World W 7 riter for Data Equally interesting was the file of letters requesting information, written on lettter heads of such institutions as the University of California, the Indianapolis Public j library, the Los Angeles county pro- j hibition board of strategy, the library of the department of labor j at Washington. There also was a request from ; Funk & Wagnalls for a definition of Technocracy for a dictionary. Other letters came from Antioch college, the Ullstein Press Service of Germany, the Manchester (England) Guardian, a dentist in Yorktown, Sask., and the department of agriculture at Ottawa. Canada. But it is in a quiet laboratory at Columbia university, “plant No. 1,” and in the shaded silence of the drafting boards ol plant No. 2 that the real work goes on. the steady drive of research, check and coun-ter-check. with which the technocrats hope to show hew the power ! age, properly controlled, might tend to eliminate toil from the world.

Removal of the abandoned street car tracks on East Market street, between Pennsylvania and Alabama streets, is being considered by the works board and Indianapolis Railways, Inc. The above photo shows a section of the tracks.

Works Board, Tram Firm Agree: Work May Be Started Soon. Abandoned for a number of years, and “dead-ended” without connection with other tracks so as to be useless, the street car tracks on East Market street between Pennsylvania and Alabama probably will be removed, E. Kirk McKinney, president of the board of works, announced today. Complaints that the tracks, which have received no repairs for years, are a traffic hazard in rainy weather and provide puddles for the splashing of pedestrians, have been made by a number of citizens and were presented to the board by The Times. Conference between officials of Indianapolis Railways, Inc., and board members followed, at which it was agreed that the tracks may be removed. According to A. H. Moore, city engineer, the tracks can be covered ZONING APPEAL HEARD Cox to Rule in Few Days on Petition of “House Beautiful.” Appeal from the zoning board’s decision against issuance of a variance permit for operation of “The House Beautiful,” 3710 North Meridian street, by L. D. Waintrup, furniture dealer, will be decided in a few days by Circuit Judge Earl R. Cox. Cox today ordered attorneys to file briefs in the case after a" twoday hearing. The board denied Waintrup's petition to use the property, located in an apartment house district, for display of furniture.

No turn is provided at Delaware street in either dnection, and the Alabama street junction is of no use to the street car company under the present routing plan.

SENATE HEARS PLEA FOR QUICK REPEAUCTION Demand for Resolution to Congress Is Made by Chester Perkins. Demand for outright repeal of the eighteenth amendment was made in the senate today when Senator Chester A. Perkins (Dem.. South Bend) introduced a concurrent resolution calling on congress to set in motion the constitutional machinery for giving all states a speedy vote on the issue. At the same time the senate received a resolution passed by the house which struck at the same amendment. Both measures were referred to senate committees. Brisk debate over a bill to in-

crease exemptions from court decrees and in bankruptcy cases from S6OO to $2,000 resulted in the measure being killed by indefinite postponement. Perkins, author of the bill, declared the average exemption for all the other states is slightly more than $2,000 and that Indiana should meet this average. | “Let us have laws based on huj manity instead of sticking so closely ! to the worn-out ideas about property rights.” Perkins said. Roll call was 26 to 21 against the measure. Eleven new bills and one resolution were received in the senate during the forenoon session. Adjournment was taken until Friday morning at 10. Public hearing on the bill abolishing the teachers’ ! tenure law will be held this after--1 noon at 4 in the supreme court j chamber. Tax of 1 per cent on each metal bottle cap sold or manufactured in would be imposed by a bill i sponsored by Senator Herbert V. Tormohlen (Rep.. Portland), and Senator James B. Brewster (Dem., Corydon). Compensation of all state field j examiners is sliced $2.50 a day by 1 terms of bill proposed by Senator
