COLOGNE. Germany. Oct
10 (AP).-Chancellor Konrac
Adenauer acknowledged pub.
licly today that there are diff
ferences between West Ger
many and France.
He did not say what the Diff
ferences were, but it was as
sumed he was referring to
President Charles de Gaulle's
insistence' that France preserve
final control over her armed
forces and not lntegrate them
completely into the 15-natior
NATO alliance.
Mr.. Adenauer. speaking dur
ing the 30th anniversary cele.
bration of an automobile fac
tory, said his talks last week
end with Premier Michel Debre
of France were intensive and
strenuous" but we parted good
friends despite differences"

The chancellor added that he

France will remain good friends

operation with the United
States" That was construed
as a dig at Gen. de Gaulle, who
has been calling for a greater
voice in NATO for the European
nations and a lesser role fol-
the United States.
Informants in Bonn said
however, they feel Mr.. Debrt
succeeded in convincing Mr.
Adenauer that Gen. de Gaullt

IUELets Nonstrikers
EnterGE's Main Plant

SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Oct.
10 (AP).-The striking Inter-
national Union of Electrical
Workers permitted nonstrikers
to enter the General Electric
Co. plant here today for the
first time since the union posted
pickets last Thursday.
John Shambo. president OF
Local 301, said the locals exec
utive board decided yesterday
it would be unfair to continue
barring salaried workers be-
cause salaried workers were en-
tering struck GE plants else
where.
He also said the local had
proved that 1t could close the
plant, which is GE's headquar-
ters. Last week, city officials
declared a state of emergency
after picket line violence.
The union estimated at least
$500 pickets were on duty to-
day but said they had been in
structed not to bar entry.
No Violence in Either City
More violence had been
feared here and in Syracuse,
but none was reported in
either city this morning as the
unions nationwide strik e
against the company entered
its second week.
The Schenectady plant en-
ploys $4,000 of whom the IUE
claims to represent $500. The
company employs 14,500 in
Syracuse, of whom the IUE
says 1t represents 4,500.
The number of employees who
reported for work in each city
was not determined immedi-
ately.
It had been feared that vio-
lence might erupt again here
lence might erupt again here.
In Syracuse, several strikers
drove their automobiles inside
GE's Electronics Park, parked
them so they would block the
gates, locked the cars and left.
Cars Hauled to Lots
Company security guards
summoned tow trucks and had
the cars hauled TO the plant
parking lots. Some car win
dows were broken so that the
vehicles could be removed from
the gates.
One woman was arrested in
Syracuse for failing to obey a
police order to halt her car.
Earlier, about 600 Tue mem
bers appeared at their Syracuse
quarters for a 5 am. meeting.
There was little optimism
for an early settlement of the
strike.

in New York last night, said

make the comparison for the
first time.
The BIS made the survey in
so major areas throughout the
United States. In comparing
Government professional and
managerial jobs with those in
industry, the BIS surveyed
1900 companies. In comparing
Federal clerical and related po-
sition with industry, the BIS
surveyed $500 establishments.
The BIS plans annual re-
ports comparing Federal SAL
aries with those in industry.
Congress is expected to pay
special attention to these re-
ports, which probably will play
an influential role in any future
pay adjustments.
In addition to the White
House. the Civil Service Com
mission and the Budget Bureau
are working with BIS in the
preparation of the initial re-
port.
1t has not yet been decided
whether the report will limit
itself to general conclusions
about its findings, or whether
specific proposals will be sent
to the new Congress in Janu-
ary for changing the Federal
pay structure or the way that
Government salaries are now
set.
The BIS. report is expected
to show that salaries for Gov
ernment professional and
managerial positions generally
lag behind those in industry,
although in not all cases.
The report also is expected
to show that lower-grade Fed
eral classified jobs such as
clerical. stenographic and typ
ist positions usually pay as
high or higher than many
comparable industry jobs. Here,
too. however. there are excep-
tions. For example. the BIS
report is expected to show that
Government tabulating ma
chine operator jobs pay less
than the same kind of jobs in
industry.
VETERANS PREFERENCE
"A three-judge Federal court
in Dayton, Ohio, has ruled
against a non-veteran Govern
ment career employe who chal-
lenged the constitutionality Of
the Veterans Preference Act
giving veterans with career
status absolute job retention
rights over non-veteran career
lists regardless Of seniority.
The non-veteran, whose case
is being financed by the Ma
tional Association Of Federal
Career Employees, has now ap-
pealed. The non-veteran's ci-
william service dates back to
Guam during World War II
when he was captured by the
Japanese and imprisoned for
four years. During a recent

The Bank Charter was grant

1929, at which time Selby was
elected president, and served
until 1858. John A. Slower was
the first cashier and served
until retirement due to i'll

The Germantown Bank was
equipped with the finest vault
of any bank in Montgomery
County at that time. In 1858,
the bank was granted a charter
to open a branch in the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Only three banks in Mont
gomery County were accorded
the honor of opening at 100 per
cent capacity after the bank
holiday in the early 1905. Two
of these were the First National
Bank of Gaithersburg and the
Germantown Bank. No deposit
ors sustained any losses due to
the depression at either bank.
These two institutions were to

of the county once again. This

The success story of the
Maryland State Bank of Mont
gomery County begins on the
second day of March, 1891 In
Gaithersburg. This date marked
the first organization meeting
Of what was to become the First
National Bank Of Gaithersburg.
Plans proceeded rapidly dur
ing the following months and
the doors were officially opened
on July /, 1891. The first presi-
dent was Upton Darby. The
vice president was John B. Dia.
mond, who was to become the
president of the bank the fol-
lowing year.
Old records show that the
cashier during that early period
was r. B. Moore, who received
what was a very respectable
salary for that era, $3.50 a year.
The location for the new bank
was the corner of Summit and
Diamond ayes. Digging even
deeper into the records, we dis
cover that the property and
building cost a grand total OF
5000. But, again remember,
this was 1891.
Other Presidents
