	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!

	It's still very hard getting folks here in Washington to understand what's going on, and what might happen. 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.

			==Biography==

			Clay Arthur Morrison was born July 12th, 1852 in St. Louis, Missouri. In 1859 his family moved to Riverton, Illinois -- about ten miles from Springfield. Two of his older brothers served in the Union Army, and one, George Morrison, died while serving with the 78th Illinois Infantry Regiment, at the Battle of Bentonville.

			He left home at the age of 14 to become a cattle-drover. In subsequent years he was a cowboy, ranch hand, deputy sheriff and sheriff, hunter, guide, miner, and cattle rancher. He was a Deputy United States Marshal in the state of Montana in 1895; his other sheriff duties were in the town of Black Rock, Arizona. He served with the Nevada state militia, and also with the Rough Riders in Cuba. He served as a second to John L. Sullivan, in the last bare-knuckles heavyweight prize championship fight, in 1889; Jake Kilrain was the opponent, and Bat Masterson was the timekeeper.

			Since 1896, his home has been Carson City, Nevada. The Mortimer Mine "struck it rich" after 1897, and he built his current home in 1900. He's the owner and publisher of the Carson City News; and also owns radio station KGNV in Reno, one of only two in the state. The station is an affiliate of the CBS network, and broadcasts on 1450 kHz, with a power of 500 watts.

			He's on various minor boards and commissions in and around Ormsby County, Nevada, and has been a member of the Carson City volunteer fire department since 1904, as part of Warren Engine Company #1. He's a member of the Democratic party, and of the Ormsby County Democratic Club. And of course, since 1930 he's been Nevada's representative in the United States House of Representatives; he's a member of the Judiciary Committee.

			Beginning in August of 1932, he was usually in New York, directing the project to build Tesla's "Protective Ray". He has a secretary and a couple of staff in Washington, plus another staffer in Reno, Nevada.

			His home address is

			:Clay Morrison
			:500 North Mountain Street
			:Carson City, Nevada

			His office in Washington D.C.:

			:Hon. Clay Morrison
			:15540 P Street, Suite 121
			:Washington, D.C.

			Or you can send mail to him via the House Offfice Building. Since late July of 1932, he has an office on the 81st floor of the Empire State Building.

			:Clay Morrison
			:350 Fifth Avenue, Suite 8100
			:New York City

			While in New York, he usually stays at the Drake Hotel, at 440 Park Avenue near 56th Street, in Manhattan.

			He's 5' 11" tall, with gray hair and a bushy mustache. He carries any number of scars, calluses, and bent-out-of-shape minor body parts, but nothing too dramatic. He wears a sort of "wampum" wrist-band, and a plain silver ring. Those who know him well realize he usually carries a single-action .44 caliber revolver, in an old leather holster. Except for a battered "western" hat, he dresses pretty much the same as any other member of Congress.
