Are we losing a pre-
clous language gift
through neglect? 1t is
strange that we in Ameri-
ca, with our rich back
grounds from other nationali-
ties, are not more interested
and practised in other Ian
guages.
Educators are doing some
thing to overcome this by de-
veloping foreign lang
programs for the elementary
grades.
1T is IN THESE early years
that the young students have
the best retention, enthusi-
asm and talent for mimicry.
At this age level they regard
the adoption of another Ian
guage as an adventure and a
challenge. 1t opens up a myri-
ad of interests not only in
the language but in other peo-
Piles and other countries.
Our American publishers,
recognizing this new field of
interest, have come up with
excellent materials that can
be used in the home and the
school. Grosset & Dunlap has
recently put out several titles
edited by the staff of the Ber-
litz Schools of Languages,
FRENCH FOR CHILDREN,
SPANISH FOR CHILDREN,
and ITALIAN FOR chill
DREN. Each Of these vol
tunes sells for $3.50.
TWO FAVoRITE FAIRY
tales, The Three Bears and
Little Red Riding Hood, are
included in each volume. The
physical makeup of all three
books is the same. The first
line is the foreign language.
The second line gives the pho
netic pronunciation and the
third line presents the Eng
liSh translation.
Useful and basic words
have been selected to tell the
tales. There is repetition that
will help the young student
retain the vocabulary. Numer-
Gus full page color and black
and white illustrations of
good quality add interest and
beauty to the books.

Virginia Kahl have collaborat-
ed and have turned out two
books, one in French and one
in English. The plot in the
three stories included re-
wolves about a little French
boy and his cat friend, Mi
chel.
The all French version is
designed for children who are
beginning to read French in
the elementary grades. The
English version can be read
by those in the early pri-
mary grades. These books can
be purchased separately or as

Statler Hilton Hotel, Senator
Bible said the increasing num-
Der of these organizations had
assured the future growth OF
the central city.
Senator Bible. chairman OF
the Joint Committee on Wash
tngton Metropolitan Problems
was among speakers at the
second annual Economic De-
velopment Council Symposium
by the oBard of Trade.
He said: THE future OF
downtown Washington is not
in the commercial heart of a
once smaller city, but with
these organizations"
Those are the basic activities,
he. said, that will support the
heart of area commerce. He
urged the civic leaders to bear
this situation in mind in their
future planning.
Washington is indeed cne
community" Senator Bible
said. It includes the central
city, the Federal Government
and local interests sS well, he
said. @.
He said the Board of Trade
itself had recognized these
new factors IN its recent name
change TO the Metropolitan
Washington Board of Trade.
Senator Bible said 81 per
cent of the areas Federal en-
ployes will be working outside
the District when the Central
Intelligence Agency completes
its move to suburban Virginia.
He said most businesses in
Washington today are "chas-
ing the dollar into the suburbs"
as a result.
But, he added, the largest
problems and greatest oppor-
tunitieS are still downtown. He
said a look at the second and
third-story levels of buildings
in, the old central city was a
study in obsolescence.
In other parts of the city,
Evening star., 1960-03-09

however, new Office buildings
are rising at rapid pace, he
said.
Thoe buildings, the Senator
observed, are testimony to
growing recognition by many
organization men that they
must congregate at one central
point to exchange communica-
ton and do business.
They have come to recog-
nize." he said, that if the
growth output of General Mo-
tors is more than the growth
output of Yugoslavia, the COM
pany needs an embassy in
Washington"
Senator Bible also said his
committee expects to receive a
draft of legislation to imple-
ment the area transportation
study. He said the draft would
be submitted by the President.
Two other speakers, Russell
Chase, District sales manager
OF the Shell Oil Co., and Will
liam E. Finley, director of the
National Capital Planning
Commission, advocated the
need for more planning of de-
velopmentS in the area.
Still another speaker, Will
liam Boucher III, executive di-
rector of the Greater Balti-
more Committee, Inc, said pro-
gressive growth of the metro
politan area depends heavily
on cooperation between busi-
nessmen and politicians.
A luncheon speaker, Walter

Big CoImputers
Cut Data Cost,
Robinson Says

Fantastic growth in the ca
pacity of data computers already
has brought a sharp reduction
in unit costs of computing, but
the increasing rental price of
the machines will limit COM
petition in this highly special
lied field.
This was reported yesterday
by DR.. Herbert w. Robinson,
president of CELIA, Inc, COM
puter service and research firm,
in an address before the WASH
ington Society of Investment
Analysts.
C-E-I-R started as a research
firm and the little $50 computer
of International Business Ma
chimes was its first data ma
chine. DR.. Robinson pointed out.
Then the 704 computer ap-
peared. 1t cost several times
more than the $50, but it
worked so times faster. Then
came the 709 computer and it
was two to three times faster
than the 704. and now C-E-I-R
has three 1000 computers on
order. They are five times
faster than the .09, said the
speaker.
When IBM can deliver its
still larger Stretch somputer
next year, it will cost $40 mil
lion but it will be Is times fast
er than the 7090, DR.. Robinson
added.
The cost of renting these ma
chimes has reached the point
where it is going to be hard
for new firms to come into
this field and compete with
C-E-I-R, said Mr.. Robinson.
AS wonderful as they are.
they cannot be exploited to the
fullest without expert analyti-
cal work and programming
The pioneering that C-E-I-R
has done in this field has built
an expert staff that places It
in a commanding position he
declared.
The new 709O machines will
accelerate the trend toward
lower costs per computation, he
said. They can perform calcu-
cisions at the rate Of 100000
per second and are so efficient
that they will make the 709s
obsolete. he said.
C-E-I-R will get the first of
its three IBM 7090 computers
in June this year. 1t will be in
stalled in the company's Ar
lington computing center and
will replace the present 709.
The second will be installed
when the New York research
center is moved into the Union
Carbide skyscraper at Park
avenue and Forty y-Seventh
street.

WINGS & WHEELS
BY CHARLES YARsRou6H

Those among you who have

vailed.
Beginning Monday, March

compact" the middle car" and
"big Falcon" the little Mer-
curry" the Ford Motor Co. 4
Comet goes before the public IN
Mercury showrooms here a week
from tomorrow, and its recep-
tion will more than interest
ing to watch.
In four days of driving it
about in this snow region I
found it certainly an attention
getter; the quietest of any of
the compacts from the stand
point of body noise and re-
markably stable on snow and
ice.
Almost 200 pounds heavier and
some IA inches longer than the
Falcon, the Comet has the iden-
tical, 90-horsepower. six-cylin-
der front engine. Some may
find the increased size leaving
something to be desired in the
performance end of the prod
uct. I
For the average driver land
they certainly outnumber all
others the Comet power is
quite adequate. Its automatic
transmission didn't appear to
drain any power from it, but
a straight shift could conceiva-
bly, add a few ponies.
Some of the prospective GUS
toners will readily sacrifice a
bit of performance for the pres
tige, for the higher styling in
side and out, and be willing to
pay roughly about 500 more
than for the Falcon.

Savage Graduated
AS End Lieutenant
From Air Academy

Gordon S. Savage, 81, son. of
Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon S. Saw
age, East Mount Vernon Street,
Smyrna, graduated yesterday
from the United States Air
Force Academy. At commence
ment exercises, he was award
ed a Bachelor of Science de-
gree and commissioned a Sec
ond lieutenant in the Regular
u. S. Air Force, with the wings
of an aerial navigator. Prior to
his commissioning, Savage held
the position of Cadet Squadron
Adjutant and Flight Command
er. He graduated from John
Bassett Moore High School,
Smyrna, in 1856 before winning
his appointment to the Air Force
Academy. While at the acad-
emy, Savage was member of
the ski club and the judo club.
His first duty assignment after
graduation will be to enter Air
Force pilot training this sum-
mer at Moore Air Force Base,
Texas. The Air Force Academy,
located north of Colora d Q
Springs, Colorado, offers cadets
a four-year course of Academic
and Airmanship studies design
ed to provide a foundation for
further development as career
officers. The curriculum is
neither a scientific nor a liberal
arts program, but a balance OF
both. With full-sized classes of
approximately ITO cadets enter
ing each summer, the Cadet
Wing will reach its full author
lied strength of over $500 in
1862. Most graduates complete
Air Force pilot training after
leaving the Academy.

Rotarians Inspect
CalnpbellCompany
Soup Installation

The Smyrna Rotary Club de-
parted from their usual plan of
having a formal program follow
ing dinner at The Wayside Inn
on Thursday night when the
members left The Inn for a tour
of the facilities at the new
Campbell Soup Company at
Chestertown, Md. A tour of the
company's chicken processing
plant was conducted by G. L.
Gardner, plant manager. The fa-
cilities were opened in Febru-
ary of this year and a total of
more than 300 persons are en-
ployed on each of two shifts.
The tour revealed to the Rotar-
ians a modern, well-equipped,
and safe installation, and they
saw the large retort baskets in
which the chickens are placed
after they are thawed out; also
the retorts in which they are
cooked. They also saw many
employees in white uniforms
breaking apart the chickens,
sorting, and inspecting before
being sent to the freezing rooms.
Modern broth kettles were seen,
and also the chickens placed in
carts for delivery to scales for
weighing. The plant is one of
several Campbell installations,
including major plants complet-
ed since World War II at Sac
ramento, Napoleon, Portage la
Prairie, Canada; and Kings
Lynn, England. The influence of
the plant and its impact on the
town and the whole area was
told. Arrangements for the pro-
gram were made by w. L.
Wheatley.
