6l0,580 in Year for Other
Departments.
By the Associated Press.

Expansion of a Federal Geographic
communication service. based on the
vast systems of the Army and Navy,
to provide free facilities for all Fed.
eral agencies, including Congress, is
planned by the Budget Bureau.
a start in this direction was made
year ago, and the plan already has
developed TO such proportions, Direc-
tor Lord has found, that there are
few Federal establishments which do
not make some use Of the extensive
communication systems operated by
the War and Navy departments
At the next session of Congress Mr..
Lord intends to propose expansion of
the scheme to include the handling of
communications for members of Con
GresS. This will involve the leasing
Of some pony" wires and the hire of
telegraph operators.
The total combined savings and
earnings of the Navy communication
service for the last year. exclusive OF
the Nays own traffic and the avia-
ton traffic for the Army, is estimated
at Sl.610,5S0.
The War and Navy departments
have shown a most earnest spirit of
cooperation" said Director Lord, lin
placing their facilities ar the disposal
of other Federal establishments, in
taking prompt steps to investigate
tention and III generally improving the
service rendered. 1t is felt that i'm
menses strides have been made in the
past year in the development of the
plan for a real Federal communication
service"

NEW YORK AWAITS EAST INDIAN
BEING HAILED AS e'NEW MESSIAH
Jiddu krishnamurti, Pro-
tege of Theosophists
Leader, Due Wednesday.
Disciples Claim Frail
Youth Is Swayed at Times
by Mysterious Spirit.
BY ROBERT L. SMALL.

NEW YORK. August %. Theo-
sophical circles of New York. and all
of the United States for that matter.
are vibrant today with the expected
arrival from Europe on Wednesday
of Jiddu krishnamurti. the young
native of India, sometimes referred to
by his followers as the new Mes
siah." Krishnamurti, or krishnaji, as
those most closely associated with
him choose to call their leader, will
be accompanied by Mrs. Annie Be-
SAINT. head of the Theosophical Society
of the World.
Material New York. of course. is
looking forward to some sort of mira
Gle or miracle worker. New York is
forever looking for show. In all
this IT will be mistaken. krishna-
murti is no miracle worker. 1t is
claimed for him only at this time
that the Great Spirit. or the World
Teacher has inspired him and at
times has made use of his body The
periods of divine possession of the
body have been brief, but Mrs. Besant
has told her followers in this country
in advance that these periods are
growing longer and longer and she
is confident that soon they may be-
come permanent His disciples be-
lieve this World Teacher" is the
same spirit which acged through the
earthly body of Jesus
Tt is difficult for the lay mind to
follow the PHILOSOPHERS and teach
ings of the cult which exalts krishna-
murti The Western World in par
ticular is far removed from the &C.
cultism and the psychic phenomena
of the East. The new movement is
thoroughly intellectual. it is solid
so much SO that one must approach
1t through years of study and prep
aration and understa nding.
He Is Nervous Young Man.
What New York and some sections
of the United States will see in the
New Messiah" is a frail Indian be-
tween % and 80 years of age. He is
even darker than the usual East In
dian and having midnight hair"
His body is frail, thin and nervous.
Although krishnamurti belongs to an
old school of religious belief. he is
thoroughly modern in dress and hab-
its. He has not neglected the ply
steal side of life and is reputed to be
an excellent golfer and tennis player
despite the scarcely more than 100
pounds of weight he carries. 1t is
only at ceremonials that young Krish-
namurti wears his native Indian
dress in all it's finery. At other times
he dresses like an English gentle
man
Krishnamurti will spend but a
part of one day in New York, land
ing Wednesday forenoon from the
liner MajeStic. He is said to dread
his experience here in the metropolis,
where a celebrity is a celebrity, no
matter what may be his background
or mission. A returning golf cham.

prince or New Messiah" are all
the same to New York. This city

rushes to see 1.-The passing show"
then rushes away again.
Mrs. Besant is acting AS sort of
manager and chaperon for Krish
namurti. She has been something
of mother to him. Itswas she who
adopted him as a lad in Madras. and
it was to her that the masters in
India revealed the fact that the
world teacher would use his body.
Mrs. Besant has watched the devel-
opment of the young man since that
time with jealous care and it will be
her mission to tell the people of the
United States the entire story.
Will Stay at Coast Shrine.
With Krishnamurti Mrs. Besant
will proceed Thursday to Chicago,
where the young Indian will address
the annual convention of the Theo-
Sophical Society. The stay in Chicago
will be almost as brief as that in New
York. Then krishnamurti will be
taken to the Ojai Valley, in California,
near Los Angeles, where he will re-
main in seclusion for three or four
months, or until Mrs. Besant has
completed her tour and the twain are
ready to sail back to England, later
to go to India.
In the Ojai Valley is shrine of the
Order of the Star of the East, headed
by Mrs. Besant, and to this shrine
many pilgrims will so in the months
to come.
1t has been reported the New Mes
siah" is coming to this country to
turn America and Americans away
from materialism. There will be no
such campaign, no such evangelical
spirit. TheoSophists in New York say
it is perfectly true this Nation is given
over very largely to materialism at
this time. But materialism is only a
stage of earthly existence. What
krishnamurti has said, and what Mrs.
Besant will say upon her tour, is that
slowly but surely America will lessen
it's worship of materialism and turn
more and more to a study and to a
consideration of higher things. Amer
lea is young. India is old. India has
had time to ponder and think and to
reach out. America has been fighting
for earthly existence, has been build
ing and growing.
Krishnamurti is no stranger to this
land. He has been here twice incog-
nito This time he is coming as one
believed to be chosen of the Lord.
Followers of his faith are prepared
for a great uplift.
