New York, Nov. 19-Mr William
J. Cameron, an automobile company
executive, reveals that automobiles
only cost 20 cents a pound now. He
points out that beefSteak brings 80
cents a pound and suit of clothes
runs to $3.50 per pound. A piano sets
you back at least 81 cents a pound
while a radio goes for about $165 a
pound.
1 hope this system of computation
doesn't get wide publicity in New
York, where the citizenry has been
known to go haywire over even less
convincing nifties. Yet there no

bilities Even Technocracy failed.
during its brief ascendancy, to open
up so many dazzling vistas.
The day may come when every
thing is priced by the pound Three
cent stamps, honest weight, cost $500
pound and if Mr.. Farley can spare
the time from his busy philanthro-
pies, he might devote some study to
ironing out this exploitation of the
underprivileged. The stickers could
be printed on heavy cardboard, with
a great saving in cost per pound, or
they could be manufactured in the
form of cubes with a lead center.
In the latter case a three-cent
stamp could be made to tilt the scales
at an even pound, thus reducing the
price from $500 to three cents. This
clear saving on the part of the public
could be deduced from the public
debt and result in a vast flood of
black ink to the Treasury's books,
as real as the profit chalked up when
we devalued the dollar.
There is no reason why the system
shouldn't be extended to the ap-
praisal of human beings. Sinclair

W. P. A, has been drawing $1,000 a

to consider him more seriously.

PLAN SHAKEUP
INU. s. SECRET
SERVICE
International News Service

A sweeping reorganization OF
the secret eervice embracing
numerous personnel shifts and
complete rediStricting Of regional
officers was disclosed today by
treasury officials.
The move, ordered by Secretary
OF the Treasury Morgenthau, was
made to obtain greater efficiency
and coordination in law enforce
ment activities"
~ 1t was learned that the nation
will be divided into a series OF
central field headquarters, each
headed by a supervisory agent.
Shifts Started
Many personnel shifts already
have been made. Harry Cooper,
chief Of the Omaha division has
been transferred to Baltimore as
acting supervisory agent in that
area. Transfers also were made
from the Buffalo office.
The program is the latest In q
series of moves instituted by Nor
genthau in recent months to eStab-
lish a closely knit enforcement
body from the various Treasury
police units.
During the past months Morgen.
thau has made several inquiries
into activities of the various
agencies which resulted in numer-
Gus dismissalS and transfers OF
key men.
Chares by Attorney General
Cummings that Secret Service
men had been spying on Justice
agents last summer brought about
the demotions of Joseph Murphy,
assistant chief of the service, and
Grady L. Boatwright, head Of the
st. Paul office.
Moran to Retire
Because of the illness Of Chief
W. H. Moran, Murphy subsequent
ly was recalled to Washington to
assist in the administrative duties.
Moran will retire at the close OF
this year. President Roosevelt al
ready has kept the veteran chief
in his post two years beyond the
retirement limit through execu-
tive. order.
Investigations are still going
forward into activities Of narcotics
enforcement. This inquiry already
has resulted in a complete shake
up Of tie narcotics bureau admin
istration in New York City.
The Treasury currently is con.
Quoting q vigorous fight against
the illicit drug traffic. Morgen-
thau recently reorganized the Gus
toms border patrol service as part
of the drive. A large force Of
agents has been concentrated in
Hawaii to arrest the flow Of con-
traband fro mthe orient.
