I've gotten Mr. Tesla on the government payroll, and we've set up an organization to try and detect, prevent or minimize whatever's bound to happen at Manhattan in October. There are some level-headed engineers, and some wild-eyed young kids from Princeton and Harvard, in the group I've put together. Tesla himself is quite a handful, and doesn't like being managed. We've set up a lab for him in Brooklyn, and there's a larger plant with a generator and other heavy equipment being built on Long Island, near the airfield at Garden City. Tesla's got a lot of theories and plans - that's the problem, sorting out the wheat from the chaff! | I've gotten Mr. Tesla on the government payroll, and we've set up an organization to try and detect, prevent or minimize whatever's bound to happen at Manhattan in October.

There are more and more groups -- newspapermen, ministers, local politicians, officers in the Army -- coming to the government and presenting evidence, and asking what's to be done. You asked me to look into the Pentheus Corporation back in March; they've been sounding out the government about what to do in the case of a big natural disaster. Fortunately or not, President Curtis and the Republicans aren't likely to spend much money on a national response to a disaster - mostly just have the Army provide a lot of tents and help with feeding people right afterwards, like when there was that big earthquake in San Francisco back in '06. I'd say if Pentheus wants to have major government involvement in their schemes, they'd have to sound out Governor Roosevelt - he's talking about having jobs programs involving millions of men, some of them in large, isolated camps out West. I've been pushing the Treasury Department to look into where Pentheus gets their money from - are they paying their taxes - etc. One thing I do know: Pentheus has been spending a lot of money to get chummy with the American Legion; building Legion halls, sponsoring conventions, putting senior officers of the Legion on the company payroll with fat salaries, and other shenanigans. |
There was a big appropriation in the War Department budget that was just passed for Citizens' Military Training Camps. I haven't been quite able to figure out what the Army intends those for; it's possible that some faction within the Army is working with Pentheus, or someone else, to recruit men for something. Officially it's all just some preparedness thing with no particular person behind it. | There was a big appropriation in the War Department budget that was just passed for Citizens' Military Training Camps.
