 The United States would become headed by an elected supreme leader. There could be no states. The country would be divided into city.states called organic cities. The army would be abolished. A strong navy would be provided and mili- tary exigencies would be met by united action of the police forces of all the cities, to whom civilians would rally to fight under police direction.

 "Hcre 'iS my pictorial chart of an organic city," he said.
 It resembled a wheel with seven spokes and q supplementary rim between tho outer rim and the hub. Tho rims represented bouievards. The "wheol spokes' were speed- ways. Beneath these were under ground shuttle trains converging on a terminal in the basement of City Hall at the hub of the city.
 Citizens would be grouped into seven guilds --- agriculture, cioth- ing, building. transportation and communication, education, science and art. each allotted m area in which It's craft would be practised and taught. Tho guild areas were the spaces between tho spokes of the city plan.

The city of Waterbury may never borrow from the reconstruction finance corp, notwithstanding the fact that bill providing for such a proposition was introduced in the house yesterday, sponsored by the administration.
 It was explained today that the measure, introduced by Represen- tative Daniel J. Mahaney, is simply a plan to remove any obstacles from the city's path should the emergency arise that would call for a loan from the REC.
 The bill asks authorization for negotiating a loan up to $2,000,000 using back taxes as collateral.

Petition to Legislature Construed as Inviting Negotia- ton in Event That More Advantageous Terms Can Be Made Than Through Ordinary Banking Channels A

It was pointed out that there is no legislative authorization for any of the Connecticut cities to borrow from the REC. If 1t should happen that the negotiation of loan from that body appeared more advanta- geous than any other proposition. the city of Waterbury, under the bill introduced would be in po- sition to immediately go through with the loan.
 For instance, if the rate of in- terest charged by other creditors should be around per cent and the REC interest should be fixed at, say, three per cent, consld. erable~ saving would result, were the loan to be made from that cor- poration.

Newton, Mass, Jan 27.-(UP)- Not only lame duck congresses, but any kind of congress, would be abolished, under program ad. vanced by Henry Talbot, architect and futuristic city planner.
 He also suggested just one more amendment to the federal Con. stltution--one which would abolish the federal Constitution itself. It would substitute new code and new kind of nation.
 Life for everyone--except those with congressional ambitions would be busy, pleasant and devoid of worry over problems of mere existence, according to the Talbot plan.
