HlOQeSC executive, Julian II.
Ray, who founded VITA with
one other partner and $4,000
cash as a "sideline" consult
ing business.
An unassuming president
associates address him as
"Julie'D, he started out as an
engineer % years ago doing
rather unexciting studies of
electrical cable for a New Eng
land wire company.
BY World War II, however. he
was immersed in some exotic
projects for the Johns Hopkins
Applied Physics Laboratory. He
helped perfect the proximity
fuse for American artillery
shells. Later he pulled apart
captured torpedoes to learn
what the German designers
were UP to.
After the war, Mr.. Ray
shifted to missiles, working on
the fire control system for the
Nays Terrier and later the
Talos at White Sands Proving
Ground, N. Mex.
Set I'm ShOp in 1850
BY the winter of 1850 he was
hankering to run his own shop.
He set up a tiny two-room Of
flee in the Dupont Circle
Building.
The original idea was an en-
cheering service to help local
statesmen on missile contracts,
but it didn't pan out that way.
People thought we were five
per centers hiding behind a
technical screen" explains Mr..
Ray. But we landed a job for
RCA helping develop the Nays
Terrier missile. and it gave us
our real start"
A restless company, VITA has
moved its headquarters often
1t occupied suite at 5000 Con-
necticut avenue NV, then
opened a machine shop in Alex
andria, then decamped to Be-
thesda. In 1856 its Offices were
relocated at 979 Rollins avenue
in Rockville, the present site.
The workshop followed suit two
years later.
! It's Biggest Job
WTA's biggest Job was de-
vising some means to move a
Atom Talos missile safely
around the inside of a ship.
Back in the old days, the big
gest thing a battleship fired at
the enemy was a 16-inch shell,
The shell weighed a ton or
more, stood a couple of yards
high, and was hefted to the
guns turret by a power ele-
vator.
Nowadays the Navy has a
much bigger lob wrestling with
missiles aboard ship. The Ia
los, a huge anti-aircraft missile,
weighs almost four times as
much as the obsolete 16-inch
shells, is five times as long, and
vastly more complicated. In
a rough sea it takes a pretty
firm pair of mechanical hands
to attach the warhead and
booster sections and move 1t
about.
VITA, which has 40 engineers
on it's payroll of ITO, studied
the problem and came up with
a system involving two large
carts. Operated by hydraulic
power, they run on a couple OF
tracks and permit seamen ia
pick up a missile, tote it from
one area to another safely by
pushing levers. The cart has
a built-in electronic brain
that registers when the war
head is loaded, and it will re-
fuse to bulge if a crew acct
dentally tries to move the mis-.
sile into forbidden areas.

think fears about our situation
are exaggerated? j
Answer-KAMITZ: The an
swer to the question whether or
not the balance Of payment out
look is really a matter of great
concern, in my judgment, de-
ponds on the structure of total
investment as well as on other
considerations that cannot be
found on either the current or
capital account side: AS long
as there is confidence In the
dollar and as long as central
bankers all over the world can
be sure that they will not suffer
any disastrous damages from
their dollar investment, one
should not look at the gold
outflow in a way a rabbit looks
at a rattlesnake. The confidence
in the dollar, in turn, depends
at least as much on the fiscal
and monetary policy of the
United States as on the amount
of gold in your banks.

banker Of the world" it is quite
natural that capital outflow
should continually exceed re-
ceipts from money invested
abroad.
In this connection. I feel
sure that we in Europe can and
will make an increasing con-
trihution in the aid to develop
ing countries and that this will
improve the situation in the re-
spective columns Of the United
States balance of payments.
Other Reasons Offered
Question - PORTER: Any
other reasons for not sharing
the "pessimism" on our pros
poets?
Answer-KAMITZ: Yes. 1t is
overlooked too often that a
spree Of private United States
investment is taking place in
Western Europe which very
much contrary to the govern
mental aid to underdeveloped
countries-will bear its fruit
within a few years time. One
can already see how these in
vestments in Western Europe
have increased the amounts of
dividend payments to the United
States. That private capital and
money exports seem more un-
favorable at present than they
will prove in the future is also
true for the so-called "hot
money" Needless to say, in
the case of a less pronounced
boom in Western Europe and
with interest rates gradually
declining, substantial proper
tions of hot money" will re-
turn to the United States from
London and Frankfurt and thus
improve the balance of payment
aspects for the dollar.

For Expansion
Businesses

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. Nov. 80
(AP). - Charles H. Percy
president Of Bell g. Howell Co.,
told investment bankers today
that o period Of recession is q
good time for business to take
action for expansion and active
growth.
Mr.. Percy, in a speech pre-
pared for delivery to the 49th
annual convention Of the In
vestment Bankers Association
of America here said that
times Of business attrition
present positive opportunities. "
He added:
II think we can learn from
our past experiences as we
look ahead.
The recession of 1858 and
the recent softness in certain
segments of the economic sys-
tenn have caused American
businessmen to re-evaluate
some of their management de-
cisions and some of their &C.
tons.
I'VE were gratified at Bell
& Howell in 1858 to be able
to counter the defiationary
swing of the cycle by taking
positive action, rather than
tightening UP all along the
line, retrenching and 'batten-
ing down the Matches We
ended that year with a 20 per
cent increase in sales and a Is
per cent increase in profits. -
he said.

YOUR t
MONEYS WORTH
How Strong Is Our Dollar?
BY SYLVIA PORTER

The outflow of gold from the
United States has been causing
concern abroad as well as here.
What does q leader of the
European financial community
think Of the United States
dollar now?
Today's interview is with
Reinhard Kamitz. president OF
the National Bank of Austria
and one of Europe's leading
financiers.
! Question - PORTER: DR..
Kamitz. how seriously do you
view the heavy outflow of gold
from the United States? Do you
think our dollar is weakening .?
Answer - KAMITZ: Since
World War II the United States
has. as matter Of fact. run a
slight deficit in its balance of
payments in most years. The
situation became serious in
1858 and 1859, however, thanks
in part to a. decrease in United
States exports and an increase
in imports. While your Ma
ton continued to show a sur
plus Of exports, it was not
enough to right the balance OF
payments. The resulting out
flow of gold to balance Amer
ica's accounts has caused wide
spread concern. To some, the
situation has even suggested a
weakening of the dollar as O
medium (the prominent med
ium) Of international ex-
change.
Gone Too Far
Some Of the experts" have
gone a bit too far. I am afraid
The prime Importance Of the
United States balance of pay
ments to the international
monetary situation makes II
highly advisable to investigate
the positive and negative as
poets of its future course.
Question - PORTER: What
do you mean by "the positive
and negative" aspects Of the
United States position now?
Answer-KAMITZ: The bal.
ance of payment outlook al
this time has two sides: The
current account movements ano
the capital transfer prospects.
The most encouraging item
of the United States current
account is the improvement in
exports-in a remarkable in.
crease in United States exports
almost 50 billion was gained
over last year. At the same
time there are some major risks
on the current account side
which stem from the fact that
the net receipts on the current
account could diminish rather
drastically as soon as the pres,
ent leveling off is replaced b,
a new boom in the United
States. 1t is obvious that il
such a situation imports, espe,
cially from Europe, would in.

in our minds about two weeks
before the annual county fair?
Whether we are participat-

about this event that aWakens

The fair has often become
an annual reunion for old
Friends, perhaps they never
have the time or opportunity
all through the year to see one
another, but come fair season
and these folks know that the
old friends will be there and
it will take the entire three
days for them to catch each
other up on the happenings
of their lives during the past
months.
I think the most impressive
time during the fair is the
night before the big opening!
It is heart-warming to walk

for the three biggest days of
their lives.

their displays and their booths
