ton has turned out commodities In
SO vast quantities that the popula-
ton. increasing less rapidly than
science had advanced, is unable to
absorb the excess.
4. The world. under these condi-
tions, is operating under system
of economics-the price system -
that may have been. efficient be-
fore the mechanical age. but which
is not tuned up to modern require
ments.
5. Since profit. under this sys-
tenn, depends upon the amount of
goods that can be sold, the indus
trialists are bound to attempt, at
least. to increase their wealth by
increasing production, and the pro-
fits they pile up and in turn re-
invest in further production.
S. ALI wealth, at present, is in the
form of debts stocks and bonds
and debentures (and even money,
which is debt of the govern
ment)-and these debts must be
paid by further debts, more stocks
and bonds and money.
Those are the theories, To sub
stantiate them the technocrats
have assembled a mass of figures
and charts What they propose to
do with this information remains
to be told.

Policeman Shot
By Safe-Cracker

ALHAMBRA, Calf, Jan. 3. U.P)
Wounds received when he was fired
upon with a shotgun by yegg
whom he surprised in the act of
robbing a safe, proved fatal today
TO James H. Nerison, radio patrol
man. The officer died at the AL
hambra hospital a few hours af-
ter being admitted.
ALHAMBRA, CAL, Jan. 3. U.Pg-
Radio patrolman James H. Neri-
son, 81, was shot and perhaps IA
tally wounded today by safe
cracker who was surprised in the
act of robbing a local theatre.
Nerison, flanked by three fellow
officers, ordered the burglar from
behind curtain but volley from
a shotgun was his reply. The charge
riddled the officers abdomen. He
was not expected to live.
The gunman escaped in a fusil-
lade fired after him by the other
officers. He apparently was joined
in his escape by companion. Po-
lice said a charge of dynamite in
front of the theatres safe was
about to be touched off when they
entered. About 5000 was in the
vault.

TECHNOCRACY OUTLII Jed FOR LAYMAN
BY STAFF WRITER FOR UNITED PRESS

Howard Scott, described by some as
"a genius at chronological figures
and by others as "an economic
Rudy Valee," employed it to pro-
pagandize the research system he
established in that small room at
Columbia. Il HI
In it's early manifestations, tech
nocracy appeared to offer new
system to replace the worlds worn
out economic machinery--a sys-
tenn in which nobody would work
more than two hours a day and
everybody would be happy and COM
Portable.
Later, under the proddings of skep-
tical economists, the high priests
of technocracy retreated from their
position, and admitted their work
was nothing but research and
that after the research is complet-
ed, they didn't know what could
be done with it."
In it's present form, democracy
offers the following theories, some
of which are common knowledge to
economists, and some of which
they have reduced to "formulae"
and couched in language so tech
nical that no layman could hope
to understand them:

EDITORS NOTE-The word
"technccracy" has swept the
United States with amazing ra-
pidity, until, in four months, 1t
has become almost a part of
every day speech. Thousands of
words have been written about
it. and about the small group
of statisticians and theorists at
Columbia from which the word
emanated.
Because technOcracy appear
ed, at the outset, to offer a
suggestion for a re-moulded &c
onomic system and a cure for
depression, popular interest was
instantly attracted TO it.
Out of the mass of argu-
ments surrounding it, some
,Iear-cut facts, have lately en-
erged. The United Press, in pre-
senting three articles by Sidney
B. WhippIe of its New York
staff gives some of these facts
in layman's language, and tells
what technocracy is and what 1t
is not.

CHICAGO HAD MANY KILLINGS, ROBBER|Es
 OVER THE SABBATH

CHICAGO, June 26.-The rob- bery of a former boxing champion and the arrest of a former state official furnished the climax to- day for a major Sunday of crime in the Chicago area.
 Other unusual crimes of an up roariouS s b "a th included the shooting to death of a woman by man who was accompanied by a child; the killing of two persons after an argument between guests of two wedding parties; the slay- ing of a nightwatchman by burg lars and the arrest of two boys charged with trying to hold up an- other boy with water pistol.
 The former champion who was robbed was young Jimmy Corbett, of California, who on last May 20 lost the Worlds welterweight title to Jimmy McLarnin.
 Corbett and his wife started back to California in their auto mobile, after seeing the Century of Progress Exposition At the edge of the city. four bandits held them up.

LOS ANGELES, June 26-A very perturbed husband, David L. Hut ton paced the floors as he sought the answer of a cable that indicat- ed his wife Aimee Semple Nc Pherson, internationally know evangelist, was the mother of a newly born son.
 Tt is incredible" said the TO- tund Hutton, as he wiped his per spring brow. T have reason to believe it is impossible. It must be a hoax" Then he resumed his pac- ing and still clutched in his hand the cable from Paris which was addressed to Darling Boy," n q read: Nine pound son d oin g splendidly. Understand press is in- quiSitive but am keeping quiet The cable was signed Wife"
 Hutton claimed that the wire must have been sent as prac- tical joke by someone other than his evangelistic wife. Nevertheless his business manager Harry c Brandon, cabled to Mrs. McPher- son Hutton seeking a confirmation Or denial of the information con- tained in the message and took time to deny reports that the home life of the evangelist and her husband had been stormy ano that a divorce might be pending.

 ID WHEAT DUMPING

CHICAGO, June 26. Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, told the Miller's National Federation it was conceivable that the United States might resort to dumping it's wheat surplus on the world market, if other wheat producing nations do not see light.
 It is probable that we will have the smallest total wheat crop in a generation this year, Wallace said, and many of you will ask, why worry about a surplus. The prob lem is deeper than that however. We still have our $50, ,OOO,O0 bush 'el carryDvef. a July first crop and prices on the uptrend. This means that we have tremendous crop next year.

AIMEE ADMITS HOAX MESSAGE SENT FIND
 OUT NEWS LEAK

PARIS, June 26. Aimee Semple Semple McPherson Hutton admit ted in a hospital Sunday that she was responsible for the cable to her husband in California announcing the birth to them of son here.
 The admission of the hoax was made through her surgeon, Dr. Henri Bove, who said he sent the message himself on the direct sug- gestion of Aimee in an effort to ascertain how private messages to the Angelus Temple leaked out to the press and which leaks revealed her presence in Paris.
 Mrs. Hutton's condition was still grave, it was said, after a serious abdominal operation by the fam ous gynecologist.
 Dr. Bove revealed that the fake birth message came back to Paris from America almost, he said, be- fore it could have been delivered to Hutton in Los Angeles. This en- abled Mrs. Hutton to direct the inquiry and discover the news leak.
 The surgeon, however, refused to specify how they found the news leak or what it was by saying only it was somewhere in the United States. I believe a certain newspaper is responsible.

SOLONS ARE PLANNING GENERAL REVISION OF
 FEDERAL TAX LAWS

WASHINGTON, June 26. - A general revision of the f e d e r taxation laws to remove the pre- sent inequalities and to bring them i nline with the fast changing ec- onomic conditions of today will be presented to the next Congress, it was learned.
 Drastic changes in financial con- ditions and in the lives of many citizens, as we'll as the tapping of new tax resources through the possible repeal of the 18th Amend ment, have caused House and Sen ate committees to take up the question of a revision of tax laws.
 Present tax laws, according to government officials, are obnoxious and have fallen short by billions of dollars to meet the federal gov- ernment's expenditures. A number of alternate tax plans are being drafted at concurrent meetings of the subcommittees of the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Finance committee in clos ed sessions. None of them can be considered as definite, however, un- til such uncertainties as govern ment revenue over the next few months and possible repeal of the 18th Amendment are removed.
 Among the general proposals now under discussion are widening of the present nuisance taxes as those on automobile tires, gasoline and mechanical refurbishings, a low rate general sales tax, a raising of exemptions on personal income taxes, and the elimination of du- plication of federal and state taxes

WHEAT SUBSIDY PLAN OF FRANCE EXPECTED
 ID BE UNAVOIDABLE

PARIS, June 26. - The French Chamber of Deputies approved a wheat subsidy plan by vote of 530 to 35 and dealth a drastic blow at international trade; a blow which is expected to have grave repercussions among the delegates to the World Economic Conference at London.
 The provisions of the bill are that foreign imports of wheat into France are forbidden even under the present temporary admission plan which is abolished. T h is means that France is unlikely to import a single bushel of wheat for at least year.
 A bonus of approximately one dollar a bushel is granted to French wheat exporters. The legal price of wheat in France is 115 Francs ($49O a quintal (3.67 bu- shels). This is $1.33 bushel.
 Anyone who sells or buys wheat at a lower price is liable to pro- secution. Owners of 10 quintals or more of wheat flour must declare whether it is domestic or foreign
 A credit of 40O,OOO,OOO Francs with which to operate this scheme has been created.
 The bill has been sent to the Senate and an early vote was ex- pected.
