CONGRESSMAN WILL ‘TOIL' IN GREAT LUXURY $9,000,000 Marble and Limestone Edifice Is Completed. BY M I) BROOKS Timr. Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.—Your Uncle Sam iwho will oe a couple of billion dollars behind in his year's bills) seems to have overlooked nothing for the convenience of his legislators in his latest $9,000,000 edifice of limestone, marble and super-gadgets, the new house of representatives office building. Perhaps there is one exception. The building commission struck out SIO,OOO worth of gymnasium equipment and. at least for the present, the congressional waistline will have to struggle along as best it can. Likewise, a boxing teacher, who had aspired to train the representatives to physical fitness, will have to wait for better times for his job. The new building, occupying an entire block and equaling the old j one in size, will give each representative office space comparable to j that enjoyed by senators. Each rep- 1 le-cntativc, after March, will have a suite of two rooms—a “work room" for his office help, and a private office.

Luxuriously Furnished Work rooms and private offices are finished luxuriously in American walnut. Wall panels conceal rows of shelves where old ' Congressional Records and reports of special commissions may bee stacked. There arc built-in metal filing cabinets where letters on economy and other subjects may be carefully stowed away. Buzzer systems connect inner and outer offices and each suite is equipped with a warning buzzer which notifies members of roll calls in time for them to scurry through the subway to the Capitol building in time for the second calling of their names. Wall Safe for “Valuables” A wall safe is provided each occupant for his valuables and Corn Belt visitors wonder whether it might not, on occasions, serve as a substitute for a refrigerator, which the builders did not provide. Some of the inner offices have private entrances, obviating the need of a member w’aiking through his reception room, where jobhunters or other unwelcome visitors may be waiting to collar him. A private wash room, with running ice water, is provided for each suite, an innovation as compared to present accommodations. The largest and most elaborate room, from which the Capitol dome may be viewed through lonic columns, will be occupied by the w r ays and means committee. ‘Full length windows will be cloaked with heavy velvet draperies, providing a rich background for the light of crystal and gold chandeliers. Surmounting the room is a massive walnut committee table, elevated several steps from the floor level, beautifully hand-carved, shaped like a half-moon and seating twenty-five members. All of the committee rooms are finished with parquet floors, but the beauty of these will be concealed beneath thick carpeting.

TECHNOCRACY IS ‘ON WAY OUT,’ ASSERTSHTKIN Returning to Nothing, Says Columbia Professor, at Town Hall. i Technocracy is “a strange skyrocket movement w'hich came out of nothing and seems to be rapidly returning on a round-trip ticket,” asserted Professor Walter B. Pitkin of tip Pulitzer School of Journalism at Columbia university Friday before a Tow'n Hall audience at English's. The original idea behind Technocracy on the part of eminent engineers, he said, was to make a survey of the various kinds of energy in industry in this country and to ascertain how much is being wasted. Another group appeared and the “economic theory” w ! as injected into the question. “Then the third stage in the development of technocracy,” he said, "passed out of the blue prints into the comic strips.” Columbia's action in cutting all ties wdth Howard Scott and his group w'as the result of Scott’s assertion that he and his “Technocrats” w r ere ready to “dump” all Republicans, Democrats, Socialists and Communists and give the positions to the Technocrats and the engineers. The real good of technocracy, he said, is “mail's conquest of energy.” “The work man does in industry is declining in importance,” he pointed out. As an example, he told of a factory being built in New Jersey to be operated by twentynine men, insetad of the seventyfive or eighty men who would have been needed ten years ago. “We now are in the beginning,” he said, “of anew machine age that is taking over not only simple judgment but the highest mental functions.” Pitkin said that “the Technocrats today are fifteen years behind the times because they are thinking of the machine as a labor saving device.” "Labor unions today are thinking in terms of man—the worker before the machine came into existence.” he added and mentioned briefly “the great decay in trade unions.”

‘TOO WILLING;' DELAY DIVORCE Both Parties in Suit Are Anxious to Separate; Judge Keeps Case. A circuit court lesson in how to obtain a divorce was given Friday to an Indianapolis couple, who learned it doesn’t pay to be willing, especially in Marion county. Judge Earl R. Cox ruled Thomas and Helen Smith must wait two months for a decision. While his wife whispered to attorneys she “just must have a divorce,” Smith made a similar appeal from the witness stand. Smith admitted he was considering marrying again and told the court he had beaten his wife. Joseph G. Wood, deputy prosecutor representing Smith, who did not contest his wife's suit, explained: “Both parties want a divorce, but they seem to have forgotten about their 6-year-old child.” Mrs. Smith then sought to bolster her petition by explaining her husband had struck, beaten and choked her and that he had stayed away from home for days. Cox ruled the case would be taken under advisement to “see what makes these folks so wffiling.”
