depth of 305 feet. A brick and limestone structure, it contains 184.000 feet of floor space and is one-story high except at the central part, where a second floor houses cafeteria and class rooms. More than 250 men and women are employed in the plant at the present time and the anticipated maximum employment is between 400 and 500. Production began locally May 10. 1954. In the ultra-modern company cafeteria, where meals are bej ing served to IBM personnel at the rate of six per minute, there is a maximum seating capacity of 370. Adjoining the cafeteria are three classrooms, for use in connection with the company’s famed employee-training program. Another feature of the plant is the completely-enclosed shipping and receiving area, which can accommodate 14 railroad cars and 14 trucks at one time within the building. The entire building is air-con-ditioned, and humidity-control is .Maintained in the manufacturing
area.
Located at the east and west sides of the plant are large paved employee parking lots, each designed to accommodate 150 cars; and an additional parking area near the front entrance is for use
by plant visitors.
F'irsi envisioned by the International Business Machines Corporation shortly after World War II. the Greencastle plant will serve the entire Midwestern area. The decision to locate the plant in Indiana was marie beI cause of the state’s central loca- | tion for servicing Midwestern ! customers and because of the ‘ excellent transportation facilities available throughout the I .-tale. Greencastle was selected I fiom among a large number of ; Hoosier cities which were con-
I sidered.
At the present time more than j 25.000.000 cards ate being manufactured daily at the plant, which is equipped with machines cap- ! able of producing 1300 cards a
mintite.
General contractor for the I building was Wermuth. Inc., of | Fort Wayne; and the architects I were Giffels and Vallet. Inc., and L. Rossetti. Detroit. Contruction began in March. 1953. Other contractors included Central States Bridge and Structural Co.. Indianapolis, structural steel; Freyn Bros., Inc., Indiani a polls, mechanical; and Hatfield Electric Co.. Inc.. Indianapolis, electrical. Also involved were 32 ub-contractors from this area.

WASHINGTON., Sept. 7 (UPi -The support price of next year’s wheat crop may drop to about $2.06 a bushel under the new farm law. g.yvei nment experts said today. There were several “ifs,” however. P'or example. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson has authority to peg prices higher than the minimum 82 G per cent of partity called for in the new law.
Another question is whether next year’s crop will add to current surpluses which were supported under the old 90 per cent of parity price formula. Parity is a formula calculated to give a farmer a fair return
on his crop.
Department of Agriculture experts are now figuring that even if the maximum 500 million bushels set-aside allowed under the new law is not counted in support calculations, on-hand 30 surpluses will drop the parity
price to 78 per cent.
This would force Mr. Benson to raise the support price to 81 1 - per cent, as provided .by the law, but it would mean a $2.06 support prir'e compared with this year’s $2.50 under 90 per cent
p: ops.
Mr. Benson must announce next year’s supports soon. Winter wheat is being planted ind the law requires him to fix supports before all the seed is in the ground. One official said next year’s set-aside figure may be an-(('ontiniit-il cn f’.itt*. Tbreej
