NEW YORK, Jan 11-A new money" an exact, .invariable to- ken of exchange based on energy, is one of the tentative proposals of Howard Scott, director of Tech nocracy as a need of this econo- mic system.
 But why a new money? Because, in the eyes of Scott, the present system of exchange, coupled with other attributes of the price sys- tenn such as debt, interest, and the dollars variability as a measure ment of wealth, interferes with the machine and social progress.
 This is part of the paradox of poverty in the midst of plenty, wherein huge factories are idle, willing and physically able to produce, but prevented from doing so because of the lack of purchas- ing power among the people-a lack partly accounted for, accord ing to Scott, by the concentration of money in the hands of the few.
 Says Price System" Finished
 Does Scott propose the total abo- lition of the price system, of banks, of interest, of mortgages and finally of the dollar itself?
 The present system is fin
 ished, Technccracy says, and
 the country must realize that
 the price system will no long
 CT work.
 Neither Scott nor Technocracy has publicly explained fully what new system of direction would include, 30 far as the replacement of the present exchange system is concerned
 A unit of value" under the price system as Scott describes it, is "certification of debt"-a lien, the oretically, against a physical en- tity. Under technological control, a unit of measurement" would be a "certification of available ener- gy produced"
 Instead of trying to value goods in terms of dollars of variable pur- chasing power, Technocracy would measure the energy produced-so to speak, would measure the in- come instead of the capital-in calories, ergs foot-pounds, British Thermal Units, horsepower or with some of the other terms of energy measurement which are theoretical ly exact and which would be used up.
 This, Technocracy holds, would prevent debt and huge accumula- tions of wealth The individual would receive proportionate share of the energy produced He would spend it in certain ways for the things he desired The energy unit would not be a measura of de- sire as is the dollar, but a meas urement of what actually was available and might be economi-

mist said, factors tending to make energy extremely unstable.
 Many economists have proposed a commodity dollar to alleviate the generally admitted evils of the present variable dollar. Such a dollar would be allocated purchas- ing power, according to a com modity index and would vary as the supplies of the various com modities varied
 Thus, money would always have approximately the same purchasing power and debts would not vary in their burdensomeness.

By HERBERT PLuMMER

WASHINGTON, April 29,
There's been change in attitude
on the part of a great many ON
Capitol Hill toward a tall, serious,
silyer-haired senator from Oklaho-
ma since projects of initiation of
the currency have come definitely
within the range of official sane
ton.
And Elmer Thomas of Medicine
Park, Oklahoma, is happy.
Senator Thomas has been cam
paigning for initiation for long,

ate, he was regarded by many of
his colleagues as an economic

They weren't always kind to
him, either.

Thomas laugh heartily. He is
deadly in earnest and matter of
fact. His personal appearance
is in keeping with his attitude.

Immediately dressed either in for
NAL morning coat and striped
trousers or in a light, blush gray
suit, he has q stern face that at
tracts. He speaks slowly and
distinctly, his strong voice carry
ing easily to the most distant parts
of the chamber.
And he made Senators listen
whether they chose to or not. The
first session Of the last congress
was ushefed into history with
Thomas conducting filibuster in
the senate. Single-handedly he
tied up that body until the very
minute that adjournment sine die
