Y. M. C. A. Notes

Shall thc United States Con- tInue to Deport Alien RadIcaIs?" will be debated at the Central YMCA next Monday night at o'clock by Judge Henry j. Free man and Rev Kenneth Kingston. Judge Freeman will argue the af- tlrmatlve of the case. These men met last year in debate at the Central Y which brought out the largest crowd to attend any forum at the Central YMCA last year. They are both affective and in- teresting speakers. YMCA mem- bers are invited to attend. The names of the presiding officer and of the three judges will be an- nounced later.
 Next Sunday afternoon at o'clock r, M. C. A. members will have the privilege of hearing and seeing II. ". Austin of Milford, Conn. talk on q. demonstrate tho beauties of the "POtters Wheel" For centuries the wheel of which poets have so often sung. has been employed in forming commercial pottery although 1t cannot compete with machinery in speed and precision and is theIe- fore being replaced by the more modern method. However. for the shaping of art pottery the potter's wheel remains the tool par excel lence and makes up In it's artistry for the lack of qualities required in large scale commercial produc- tion.
 Not many people. in view of these facts, have the opportunity today of seeing the fascinating pOtter's wheel in operation "Throwers'', as the operators are called are few and far between. It is an art that requires long exper- fence and constant practice to hold mastery over the lamp of clay as 1t revolves rapidly on the spinning wheel.
 Mir Austin. who is a craftsman of outstanding ability has had many years of experience in both the artistic and practical end of the pottery business.
 At 2:45 a mass meeting for boys will be held in the boys depart ment of the Y. NJ. C. A.

Now York, January IS -- (UP) A bare little three room suite that looks out upon tho uproar of Fifth avenue md 42nd street Is headquarters for the Continental Committee of Technocraey.
 TO this newly created group, tho working scientists of technoe- rney, send 400 to 500 letters re- ceived by them daily from all parts of the world, requests for further data on tcchnocracy that como from business clubs, economic so. cieties, university groups, requests for magazine articles and radio talks, "mash notes' and plans to solve tho problems of the world.
 Here also come letters of abuse and notes of fulsome praise.
 So far there have been six let. ters from persons who claim to have invented the word "technoc- racy." Two threatened suit. To. days mall included Q plan, worked out in complete detail, to end do- precision by electrlfying the world.

 The newly installed telephone was ringing frequently when q United Press staff correspondent visited the headquarters of the Continental committee today.

Other voices, more inslstent, urged that Howard Scott lecture before this or that civic. social or eco. homie group. Told that Scott, tho directing spirit behind technocracy, was refusing further speaking en. agreements. urgent promoters bid $1,000 for lecture and were amazed to be told that technocracy was not interested in price and wanted no revenue.
 In the new green office flies many written requests for speak ing engagements are laid away. Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, the Yale Economies Club, the Harvard En- gineering School, a group from the metal trade industries, the Adver. tising Women's Club of New York. the Liberal Clubs of both Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology and Johns Hopkins are among the groups seeking lectures.
 Equally interesting was the file of letters requesting information written on letter heads of such in- stitutions as the University of Call fornia, the Indianapolis Public Li- brary, he Los Angeles County Prohibition Board of Strategy. the library of the department of labor at Washington. There was also a request from Funk and Wagnails for a definition of technocracy for dictionary.

 Railroad issues were up fractions to 2 points. A statement by F. c, Buckland that no receiverships wcre anticipated in the immediate future was factor in the gains.
