l96l-Busy and Important Year
For IBM Federal Systems Division

IBM Federal Systems Divi-
sion President Charles Benton,
jr., described 1861 as "a year of
growth in the IBM tradition"
in a letter to employees this
month.
One phase of this growth was
the addition of a Communica-
tons Systems Center in Rock
vile - specializing in analysis,
stimulation, development and
programming of communica
tons devices and applications
and two technical centers in
Bethesda.
The IBM Space Systems Cen
ter, Bethesda, will develop data
handling techniques in space
satellites and missile systems.
The IBM Intelligence Systems
Center, also in Bethesda, special
izations in techniques for index
ing, storage and retrieval of dig
ital and graphic information.
Toward the end of the year,
the division also announced that
it had taken a six months op-
ton on 122 acres of land near
Gaithersburg to build a facility
for its headquarters and infor-
nation systems analysis and de-
velopment personnel.
Space Systems
In 1861, Federal Systems Divi-
sion was given new assign.
ments in military and civilian
space exploration and aviation.
At the Space Systems Center,
Bethesda, and the Command
Control Center in Kington, NY,
IBM work on Project Mercury
included providing the real-time
computing systems for tn
worldwide tracking and ground
Instrumentation network, de-
signing, programming and test
ing the launch, orbit and re-en-
try computation system, and de-
veloping and manufacturing the
special computer equipment nee.

bat area data professors. The
Space Guidance Center in
Oswego, NY, applied digital
technques to control systems
for satellites, space vehicles,
missiles, high-speed aircraft, ad-
vanced weapons systems a n d
submarines.
An example Is the Air Force
Titan II guidance computer de-
veloped at the Space Guidance
Center under contract to AC
Spark Plug, the electronics divi-
son of General Motors.
Another project, under con-
tract to Grammar Aircraft En-
gineering Corp, was the devel-
opment of an advanced memory
and professor for NASA's Orbit
ing Astronomical Observatory
(OAO) planned for launching
in 1868. Based on new technol-
ogy developed at the center, the
memory has no moving parts,
can withstand the violence of
launching and is designed to op-
crate reliably in the spacecraft
for more than a year.
The Federal Systems Division
is also responsible for providing
IBM data processing systems
for the record-keeping functions
and to solve management prob

agencies.

AN OPEN LETTER TO
JOHN ]. HASSETT

Director of Information and Economic Development
Montgomery County, Maryland
There's lot of work to be done 80.
AS the nations top income area, we may be
lulled into the complacency of g. all's well,
why try harder?"
There are some hard-fact dollar-and-centS rea.
sons why
Like we could have had Melpar, Inc, as a
county resident
Like we could have had American Optical
Company as county resident
Like we just lost EIectronic Teaching Labs to
Hagerstown-
Like we could have had host of other de-
sirable neighbors who finally decided to locate
elsewhere.
True, some so new firms have located in the
County since 1950-good neighbors all, an asset
to the financial and economic stability of our
community. and yet the welcome afforded
them has not always equalled that of other
counties.
But this we hope is closed chapter.
The office of Information and Economic Devel-
opment, progress-minded County Manager
and an active County Council-all now exist
ent-can help nail down our claim as the
nations number one location for scientific and
R&D industry.
AS a source of information and publicity, your
office has facile task. A good press" is no
problem for an area that has so many cultural,
social and economic banners to tout. However,
corporate decisions to locate new site require
more evidence than aesthetic qualifications
And this is the big job to be done.
We hope you will have the unreserved support
of the Council, Planning Commission, Sanitary
Commission and every other official agency In
volved in a coordnated assault on planned
economic development to make selective indus
trial expansion reality.
Progress has shape :. we look to your office
to give it direction.

Earlier yesterday, the Guild
unit rejected an offer by the

In the earlier action, the unit
voted 1892 to reject the

an effort to concentrate on
greater increases for Post COM
mercial employees.
1t was at the subsequent nego-

months.
Some Reserve partisans may
protest because the Reserve will
feel the full impact before the
Guard does.
The Army is anxious to COM
plete the entire reorganization
before next summer, so Reserv-
lists and Guardsmen can go to
two-weekS training camps in
their new formations.
Despite criticism, Mr.. Nc
Namara and the Army have
not budged from the basic ele-
ments of the plan first an
nounced early last April.
However, there have been as
many as n alterations in de-
tails in an effort to meet GER
tain State needs and require
ments, such as engineer and
military police troops for
States which face recurring
flood disaster situations.
Among other things, the
Army has pared down the net
number of units to be elm
mated from an original 1874 to
the current 100.
The Army long has sought to
reShape the Guard and Re-
serve. But the real impetus for
the new plan came from the
experience in the 1861 Berlin
crisis when it took five months
to get two Guard divisions in
shape for combat after they
had been called into Federal
service.
Accordingly, the Pentagon
plans to create a quick reac-
ton force of six prime Guard
divisions - four infantry and
two armored- which would be
strengthened from their pres
ent 5000 or so men each to
perhaps IL 900 each.
At the same time, however,
the eight lower priority Re-
serve and Guard divisions
would be reshaped into bri-
gades of about 1000 men each.

The American Federation OF
Government Employees has
asked the Civil Service Com
mission to require Govern
ment supervisors to furnish de-
tailed documentary evidence in
cases where they deny Within
step salary raises to employees.
This and other employe
safeguards were urged by the
AFGE In regards to the pro-
vision OF the new pay law
which no longer makes in
grade raises automatic as they
used TO be.
The AFGE said the rules
should provide ample notice to
the employe that the in-grade
raise is being denied, the right
to recourse to the grievance
procedure and the requirement
that the denial OF an in-grade
raise must be supported by
documentary evidence in the
employees record.
Under the Commissions ten
tative regulations, employees dc
not have the right TO any spe-
cific reasons why they are be-
ing denied an in-grade salary
raise. nor do they have re-
course TO their agency's griev-
ance or appeals procedures, nor
the right OF appeal TO the CON-
mission. The csc plans 10 is

within 90 days and has asked
for union and agency sugges-
tons.
In commenting on the csc
tentative rules. John Griner
AFGE president. said the vast
majority Of Federal employees
are and have been performing
their work at an acceptable
level"
IF such is not the case, Their
management in the Fedora
service is facing a serious In.
dictment." Mr.. Griner noted.
The AFGE said the csc
should require Government
supervisors TO specify why they
