SENTINEL
BY Robert L. VOllmer
Rockville Plant Manager
Sprague Electric Co.


The electronics industry in
1862 continued to merit its des.
ignation as a growth industry.
Total factory volume was APP,
proximately $13.2 billion com
pared to S12.1 billion in 1861;
this is gain of SO, against a
gain of approximately SO for
the economy as measured by
the Gross National Product.
The 1862 business climate has
been one of caution brought
about by the mixed trend OF
many economic indicators in
the late spring and summer
months. However, talk of a
business recession this winter
has been belied thus far by the
refusal of business activity to
move away from the high pla-
teau that was reached about
mid-year In the forecasts for
business in the coming year,
economists differ as to the ex.
tent and timing of the next
move, but they are now in gen,
eral agreement that the Gross
National Product in 1863 will
average higher than for 1862.
All major markets for cleo
trOnics contributed to the
higher volume our industry
has witnessed in the past
year. Especially notable was
the strength i'm demand for
consumer products, dollar
sales of which increased to
$2.4 billion after having re-
manned for the previous three
years at a $2.2 billion rate.
For 1868, we look for another
good year in home entertain
ment electronics with total
sales reaching about $2.4 billion
In TV, it is expected that black
and-white set sales might close
ly approximate those for 1862
In fact, recent surveys of con
sumner buying plans reveal high
er intentions to purchase TV
sets than at any other time in
the past two years. Home radio
and photograph sales should
closely approximate 1862 also
while auto radios volume may
be off somewhat in line with
generally expected production
of about 6,500,0O0 cars.
For the present, our industry
can certainly look for higher
shipments of military and space
electronics through the calendar
year 1868 and probably through
calendar year 1864. The Depart
ment of Defense has pointed
out that the economic impact
of the expansion of defense con
tracing has been fully reflected
as yet in industrial production
since performance and delivery
follow awards by period oil

Department adds that individual

were written in with spaces
after each where cumulative
sub-totals would be written to
show who was winning.
Volunteers were manning
more than a dozen telephones
to inform callers of the results
as they came in. An air of
expectancy hung over the news
room as everyone waited at his
assigned place for the excite
ment to begin.
Suddenly, a phone rang. 1t
was the first result. The call
er reported that KensingtOn,
custOmarily a sOlidly Demo-
cratic precinct, had gone solid
Republican.
The result taker, a seasoned
political reporter in the county
was flabbergasted. Impossi-
ble," he said. But the figures
were there, real and unchal-
lengeable.
ITS Republican sweep" he
said to the ID or Is persons who
were in the room. Then the
phones began ringing and pre-
cinct after precinct began re-
porting Republican majorities
BY $780,, with only about one
third of the results in, there
seemed little doubt about the
outcome. At IL pm. it was all
over but the COP shouting. The
Republicans, along with the con-
sentative candidates for the
School Board had scored a stun
ming political upset.
The voting was to touch off
speculation on what caused the
voters revolt. 1t was hashed
and rehashed for weeks.
Why were the Democratic lib
erals thrown out?
Only two weeks before the
election the United States De-
partment of Commerce had an
nounced that Montgomery Coun-
TVS median family income of
$9317 per year was the highest
of any of the nations 3037
counties.
So this made Montgomery
County "the wealthiest county
In the United States" And In
such q county one would ex-
pect somewhat higher govern.
mental costs.
But the voters were economy
minded. Campaign cries of
waste and extravaganza" aim
ed at the incumbents by the
challengers hit pay dirt.
Some observers said the lib
erals" were thrown out because
they spent too much. Others
countered that the explanation
lay in the simple fact that the
County Council, principally to
finance a requested teacher sal
airy increase, increased the coun-
ty tax rate by 81 cents in an
election year.
Others, hitting somewhat clos
er to the truth, pointed out the
Democrats had been in the driv-
er's seat for eight long years
and it was time for the pendu-
lum to swing back toward the
Republicans.
Some said the Democrats
had become alOOf, too far
from the people and they had
become unrespOnsive to pub
lie needs. Meanwhile, these
observers pointed out, the Re-
publicans were working hard
and developing an effective
campaign organization.
Still others placed a large

the CAP'ers lashed out at
mounting government costs and
accused numerous incumbents
of being members of an inter
locking directorate"
A cartoon depicted them as
spiders preparing to devOur
the taxpayer.
One factor. agreed to by all
of the spectators, was that the
Democratic party was badly
split. Moderates and conserva-
tives making their bid in the
party primary in May lost
heavily and the liberals cap
tured party machinery and a
lions share of the nominations.
AT years end, Democratic
strategists were bordering how
their divided party could be re-
united. But it appeared that
still another intra-party power
struggle aimed at capturing par
ty precinct offices this October
would be more likely course
than party unification or har-
mony.
At the end of December,
smouldering differences be-
tween the four School Board
conservatives and the three lib
eral holdovers on the board
erupted into the open. They
traded verbal blows publicly on
the subject of what, if any,
budget cuts should be made.
And the course of school admin
istration during the next two
years-until the 1864 election
will, it appeared, be an.< hing
but smooth.
In any event, the four con-
servatives will control the vot-
ing on the seven.member
board for the next four years.
The course the Republican,
dominated County Council will
pursue during the coming year
was anything but clear at years
end.
During the first few weeks
in office they made it abundant.
ly clear they are economy mind.
ed and dollar conscious. But
until this years budget is
adopted several weeks hence it
will not be shown how far they
will be willing-or able-to cut
governmental costs.
Members of the building
and real estate industries, ex.
tremeIy important ones i'm the
county-if not the most i'm
pOrtant, as the county's pOpu.
latiOn continues to grow rap
idly, are repeatedly hoping
that the new County Council
will be somewhat more gen.
erOus in allowing development
in certain areas than their
predecessors.
The Democratic Council was
fairly rigid on insisting on
growth criteria before most re-
coming pleas were approved. If
the Republicans are more gen.
erous with their reZoning ac-
tons it will undoubtedly slim
ulate the economy of the county.
But it could, at the same time,
contribute to more haphazard
growth and weaken orderly
planning and growth.
The answer may be provided
in 1868.
