the Second World War. That
this relatively new industrial
giant is so suddenly and
sharply reduced by technos
logical advances in the field
Of weapons is both dismaying
and astounding.
The Government will not
need all of its shipbuilding
yards because cruisers and
battleships will no longer be
built. It will close some OF
its rifle and conventional
arms factories. A consider
able part of the Nations
productive machinery Is
either obsolete or inefficient
in competition with more
modern tools and machines.
Attenuation will close some
existing factories and open
new ones. A good many Of
those which will be closed
sustain whole communities.
Retail and service businesses
and homes have been built
around the payroll Of such
plants.
Inadequate Planning
1t is not to our credit as
an intelligent people that
we have no plans either in
government or business to
notify such communities well
in advance Of any impending
shutdowns, nor are there any
long grange plans for trying
to find some other producer
to move in when one form
of production is ended. There
has been talk Of a dual pur-
pose blueprint for industrial
plants, but nothing has come
of 1t. We do not know the
answer to the question Of
what we will do with the
several million persons whose
jobs will be abolished by
technology. =.c
Will the States or the Fed
eral Government train them
and find new employment?
We already see that we can
have the paradox Of employ
ment and unemployment,
both at record levels, at one
and the same time.
Without question, urgency
and planning are major
requirements Of our day and
age.

birds from cherry and other
fruit trees. The Russian mul-
berry, a vigorous grower and
a profuse bearer. is especially
recommended. Its berries
ripen at the same time as
cherries, and have been found
to appeal to birds more than
any cultivated fruit.
@. What is the Oregon
method of debating?-D. s.
A. The name is given to q
cross-examination type Of de-
bate which was developed 1T
the University of Oregon. In
this, each of the constructive
speakers (those who present
the first and second affirnda-
tive and negative speeches)
Is croSS-examined by an op-
posing speaker. Each side
then presents a rebuttal and
q summary. There are usually
two speakers on each team:
sometimes a team uses p
third speaker to present the
rebuttal and summary.
@. Please explain the
meaning of the x and P re-
ligious symbol.-D. j..
A. Chi and Rho are the
first two letters of the Greek
words XPISTOS (Christos)
and are often used as an
abbreviation for the name of
Christ. The p placed within
the x constitutes what Is
know as the monogram 0f
Christ. Constantine the Great
ordered this placed on the
shields Of his soldiers over
1000 years ago.

Significant Tennis Match
Best In Over 35 Years

1 once wrote a casual column about
tennis, and even have a manuscript on how
the game is played, but have always hesi.
tated to publish my thinking about the game
for the same reasons 1 suppose that an
alcoholic will not talk about liquor or drug
addict will not talk about heroin. You may
have noticed that I have no hesitation about
devoting this column to those pertinent
irrelevancies of life which string rainbow
around the day, or of injecting the dogs,
Chauncy and Mercedes, "the big white car"
or that ole debbil the States Attorney" into
this column. Heretofore l have permitted
the readers of this column to enter only into
the ante-room of my house. but today have
decided to let them out
This past week the National Seniors
Tennis Championships were held at Edge
moor Club in Bethesda, and my partner,
Henry Barclay, and I defeated the national
champions. We did not win the National
Clay Court Seniors, but the doubles match
we played was more significant to me than
any previous match I have played over a
period of thirty-five years. For brief hour
Montgomery County sentinel., 1961-07-13

the hands of the clock had turned back and
l enjoyed the feeling of control and strength
which l once had many many tennis MATCHES
ago. And one of the grand things about that
magic hour was that there were people in
the gallery who could look back with me to
the time in 1884 when brought to this coun-
ty its first national tennis championship. At
times during the match my partner and I
played with the confidence and sweet abandon
of youth When the match was over / ran
to the net and stopped short of attempting to
leap over it when 1 saw the faces of the
grandchildren of some of those 1 had PLAYED
during my college days staring down at me
from the gallery. The magic hour was over
and the clock had turned forward
Late that evening went into the trophy
room where l have an old pair of tennis
spikes which hung up several years ago. I
took them down, oiled the leather, sharpened
the spikes, and allowed 1 saw no wings
sprouting from them that needed clipping.
For the moment, it looked as though might
bring another championship back to the coun-
ty, and you know just might do that = on
the grass courts in September

Byron's $ Column

Call Barney Welsh We have a subject
for one of his famous columns
Can't you imagine what he could do with
one of the following detectives of the
Monocacy 'LiveIn" Projects sponsored by
the Montgomery County School Board:
Objective number two: "To see, hear.
and feel and even smell through abstract
methods much Of what is usually learned in
the regular classroom"
Along about six years ago young lawyer
who had been assistant County Attorney
decided to open law office in Silver Spring.
He chose the newest building - it was
called the Silver Spring Building and is now
known as the Guardian Federal Building.
He chose secretary And what jewel
she turned out to be. There is probably no
one more efficient than Flo Rael. And this
combined with a powerful sense of what to
do at just the right time and you have the
perfect Law Secretary
The first office wasn't very big. In fact,
it didn't even have window. But the brains,
ambition and the personality was there.
The practice grew 1t became one of the
best. 1t had expanded several times to larger
quarters with several windows.)
Then this lawyer formed partnership.
This month the partners decided amicably
to open separate offices.
The entire staff remained with r. Robert
Linowes in the Guardian Federal Building.
This includes Mrs. Rael, Mrs. Mary Rowzee
and Miss Aline SeIdeen. And John ID. Con.

office as an associate.
John p Moore has moved to another
office in the same building.
Many good things have happened to the
young County attorney who chose Montgom-
cry as the ideal spot to live and work. His
law practice has become one of the most
important in the county His family has
grown to include three daughters all of whom
have many of the same talents possessed by
Ada and Bob Linowes.
Jim Davis had made real legal mark in
the county, especially in the criminal field, in
comparatively short period of time.
His fatal heart attack last Friday after
noon caused shock and a sadness that was
almost overwhelming to his family, his
friends and his clients. 1t was particularly
difficult for his family to realize that such an
alive and vital guy was gone.
Jim Davis was fighting attorney. Not
only did he fight hard in all of his cases
but he knew what he was fighting about. He
prepared his cases. This, along with his
sharp mind; gained for him the respect of
court officials and fellow lawyers alike.
He was also gaining the reputation for
being champion" attorney. He would fight
for a lowly figure just as strong and hard as
he would for one high in society. And every.
one likes man. especially lawyer, who dis
plays courage and fight - sometimes against
great odds.

1t is our guess that Jim Davis would
have continued to grow in legal stature and
would have become nationally known for his
abilities.
For many reasons it is too bad that life
had to come to such an abrupt end for man
who loved life as much as Jim Davis and one
who was in the prime of life.
It is an odd thing about some people in
various communities in Montgomery County
They aren't sure just what it is they want
from County newspaper such as The
Sentinel.
They don't know whether or not they like
three issues a week. Some say they would
rather have just one fat Sentinel week
Others like it. Some would have you believe
they read nothing but small community
column filled with the personal doings of
limited number of their neighbors.
We would like to believe that people who
read this newspaper like it because it tries to
keep abreast of what is happening in the
county and the fact that it provokes one to
think.
1t is true that The Sentinel has strong
ideas on many subjects. This does not mean
however, that it expects every reader to agree
with all strong personal editorials and fea-
tured columns that appear regularly. But we
hope some of the opinions expressed will stir
within the reader an interest to look into
given matter and then form his own opinions.
That is one reason The Sentinel tries very
hard to be accurate and factual
If it were not for the newspapers and
some of the inquisitive reporters, we are
afraid public officials might try to work
little more unto themselves
For the past week or so, subscribers to
The Sentinel have received letter from Cy
NJ Campbell Publisher inviting them to re-
new their subscriptions for another period Of
time at an attractive price.
The response has been gratifying. And
some of the notations on the returned forms
have been interesting, to say the least. The
most forceful one received so far along with
check had two strong words: Hell, yes"
We read somewhere about the gift of
land Mrs. Jouett Shouse gave for musical
center. 1t was wonderful thing to do and it
must be rewarding to person of means to
have the ability and the heart to do such
thing for the benefit of so many of his fellow
citizens.
There are two young people in Montgom-
cry County who could do something just

convenient beltway as the first concrete act
to get The Montgomery County Arts Center

center in which all could be proud

MONTGOMERY
Local Author

Morris James Slonim of
Buckingham dr., Silv
Spring, has written a unique
book.
This is what a review in
The Wall Street Journal had
to say about it:
"In a day when Gallup
polls, Trendex and Kinsey are
practically household words,
books on sampling nonethe-
less have been aimed at the
professional statistician for
the most part.
$50 says Morris James
Slonim, Air Force statistician,
who is also the author of a
new volume aimed at execu-
tives who use the results of
sampling.
"Mr. Slonim's Sampling in a
Nutshell (Simon and Shuster,
las pages, $3.50, is a compe-
tent, light but informative,
non-technical discussion on
principles and application of
the intriguing process of ex.
amining a relatively small
number of items out of a
larger total and yet finding
surprisingly accurate charac-
teristics about the total.
ITO be sure, accuracy is a
sampling problem -as DR..
Gallup could attest from his
experience in the 194S Presi-
Dental poll. Mr.. Slonim main
tains, however, that if there is
an inevitable sampling error,
it can be held to a tolerable
levels ay within 10 of a
complete count.
'Even with a complete
count, the author hastens to
add, there can be an error
greater than the sampling
error. For example, he asks
his reader to consider the
very likely understatement of
the total population in a GER
tain mountainous r gions
where the haze makes it diff
cult to distinguish a census
enumerator from a revenue
agent.
Sometimes, too, complete
count is virtually impossible,
while a sample would give a
fairly precise picture. To wit:
A railroad may want to know
the number of railroad ties
with exposed knots on its
roadbed. A complete count
would be prohibitive in cost
and probably grossly inaccu-
rate.
again, errors are frequent.
ly attributed to sampling
when they are really report

a well known statistical para
dox that the average age of
women over 40 years old is
under 40 (as reported by the
ladies.) For equally esoteric
reasons, a lemon picker may

a perpetrator of slightly

procedures for these are
spelled out in the book--the
author holds the executive
can use sampling with conf
dence and profit.
"The author reports he has
effectively used sampling fer
such different Air Force prof.
ects as A.W.0.L. rates, air.
craft fuel consumption, clima-
tological research, clothing
sizes, engine attrition and
garbage disposal. He tells of
a probability sample conduct
ed by the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway to estimate in
terline freight fees due the
railroad. Though the estimate
was based on a sample of less
than 1919, it turned out to be
$3.50 accurate. Similarly,
Illinois Bell Telephone has
been successfully using sam
pling techniques for all sorts
of applications for the past Is
years.
"The moral of the Slonim
book seems to be: Sampling
is a tool; its effectiveness de-
pends on, as with all tools,
how intelligently and careful
ly it's used"
