The more one delves through the
Fact File of the American Watch In
s.itute. the more one becomes con-
vrnced that the closing down OF our
Watham Watch Company Is one OF
the top tragedies of the American
system OF watch manufacturing:
The truth Of this becomes evident
when one realizes that although all
types of manufactured goods. such as
automobiles. electrical appliances. ett I,

Quantities IN all industrial countries OF
the world. the Unsed States and
Switzerland are the only two who have

watch industry Of any importance

Company is essential to the defense OF
no, only the United States but Of the

There are about 1000 operations
in the manufacture of fine Ameri-
can watch. of which a large per-

As one American manufacturer puts
it. almost half of the operations
are inspections of which 20 per cent
are Inspections of inspections. In
this plant there is one inspector for
every six production workers"

Judge Studies Motion
To Disqua|ify Himself
In Axis Sally Appeal

An amended motion for q new
trial for Mildred E. (Axis Sally
Gillars was before Judge Edward
M. Curran in District court today
with the suggestion that the jurist
disoualify himself from ruling.
Chief Defense Attorney James
J. Laughlin In the amended mo-
ton requested that arrangements
be made to place Judge Curran
under oath to testify at the hear
ing on the petition. He wants to
question Judge Curran. Mr..
Laughlin said, about conferences
the iurist held with prosecuting
attorneys while the trial. which
resulted in Miss Gillars' convic-
ton as traitor. was in progress.
Pointing out that in Baltimore
the trial judge automatically dis
QUALITIES himself from hearing
motions for a new trial and the
petition is laid before the full
bench of the Supreme Court, Mr..
Laughlin suggested that similar
procedure be adopted in District
Court. Such a procedure, he con-
tended. would make for fairness
and impartiality because we know
from experience that trial judge
is reluctant to admit that he
committed error in the case"
The amended motion further
contended that Judge Curran
should have been disqualified from
the trial at its inception because
he was the United States attorney
for the District who signed a
treason indictment against Prof
Max Otto Koischwitz, the man
whom Miss Gillars said she loved

One of the great dangers 10 ma.

to work to such fine tolerances with

physical fitness.
There are only 10000 such per.

them being attached to Waltham.
This personnel attended special

that time is of the essence in naval
operations. If a navigator's watch
should be as little as four seconds off

tween success and failure. even of life
and death. to our own forces who
may be required to move into an area

Of the bombardment. The same is
true of integrated air-ground attacks.
Start Inspection System
In fact. virtually all operations of
a mechanized nature, whether mill
tary or otherwise. must be founded
on a precise measurement Of time.
In the l8S0's, when the mounting
number. of railroad accidents was
shocking the nation, one of the first
and most effective remedies found
was the establishment of the watch
inspection system. Today rail-
roader must own watch which
meets certain specifications (it must.
incidentally. be an Elgin, Hamilton
or Waltham) and he must submit this
watch for inspection every two weeks.
The critical Importance of timing was
thus recognized in efficient and safe
railroading.
The story Of marine chronometers
is. perhaps. the most vivid illustra-
tion of this necessity Modern naval
operations land ocean navigation
generally requires that ships be
equipped with timekeeping instru-
ments whose rate is constant to the

The marine chronometer, special
timepiece of marvellous accuracy. was
first developed around the middle of
the 18th century to serve this pur-
pose. Up until the time of the U. S.
entry into the last war. the navies Of
the world depended largely on Swift
erland and England for, their supply
of marine chronometers.

The only place to turn was the

which until then had never manu.
factured a marine chronometer. But
to the immense relief of the United
States Navy (and Allied navies) an
American watch manufacturer. alerted

UNABLE TO FUNCTION

Without special timing instruments
Of extremely high precision. modern
military establishment would be
virtually unable to function This
is true in an absolute sense in the
case of long-range air and naval
operations (The basic concepts of
modern western hemisphere de-
fense.)
Such timing instruments can be
produced lin quantity, at any rate)
In only two countries of the world.
the United States and Switzerland.
Should the productive capacity OF
either of these be allowed to de.
cline, or disappear altogether. the
worldwide balance of military po'
tential would be seriously altered.
Switzerland is in the opposite
hemisphere from the United: States.
In the past war. all shipments OF
military timing instruments from
. Switzerland to the Allies were cut
off. 1t may be said, then, that the
defense of the United States and
of the. community Of nations asso-
ciated with US supposes the existence
and dictates the growth of the Ameri.
can jeweled watch industry.
Only Contact of Subs

able in the operation of military air
craft and submarines. When
