Boeing offered a better aircraft
vperationally and as far as they
have been able to determine, for
less money.
"The basis Of my recommended
tion," Gen. Curtis E. LeMay, All
Force chief of staff. was my judg-
ment that the operational advan-
tages of the Boeing proposal out
weighed the other factors in
volved."
Admiral George Anderson, chief
Of Naval Operations, said much
the same thing. In his testimony
he spoke Of the Importance Of
the ledge Of advantage" in weap-
ons during war time.
Gen. Walter T. Sweeney, whose
Tactical Air Command will be
the principal user of the Tx,
said the Boeing plane had a clear
and substantial advantage over
that of General Dynamic.
The subcommittee spelled out
these advantages in a chart Civ
ing operational comparisons based
on figures supplied by the Air
Force.
Out of is classifications, includ-
ing price, the Boeing proposal
was listed as superior to that of
General Dynamics in all but
one. This was in the number OF
aircraft that could be spotted on
a carrier Is more than Boeing).
The Tx is intended for many
uses in the event of limited war
in any part of the world. Hence
ferrying range was an important
requirement written into the
specifications for the plane.

Boeing Low Bidder

With Air Force Col. Charles
A. Gayle, who headed the evalu-
alton team weighing the rivaling
proposals, is the witness, the sub
committee developed at the out
set that Boeing proposed to carry
out the whole Tx program, in
volving more than 1,700 planes,
for a total price of $5,364, 300, 900.
General DynamicS' price was
$5,455 500, 900, or $91 million more
than Boeing's.
Using an Air Force standard
cost structure, Col. Gayle testi-
fled these prices were adjusted
upward to what the Air Force
team considered the actual cost
would be.
The result was: General Dy-
namicS, $7,OS3, 100000; Boeing,
$6,983 900, 900, or a difference fa-
voring Boeing OF 500 million, ac-
cording to the Air Force findings.
When other adjustments were
made and costs of support and
other equipment were included.
the margin favoring Boeing was
widened to $416 million, Col. Gayle
and other witnesses said.
Because it had listed lower
manufacturing and development
costs, Boeing's bid, Col. Gayle
said, was rated by the evaluation
team, as more unrealiStic than
the General DynamicS proposal.
Boeing underestimated overall
costs by % or % per cent as
against 18 per cent for General
Dynamics, the evaluators said.
Despite Mr.. McNamara's en-
phaSis on cost realism, the testi-
mony brought out that the De-
fense Department went back to
General Dynamics' own figures
when it came to signing a con-
tract or a letter of intent for the

He noted that just as high
school dropouts now find them
selves at the bottom of the en-
ployment list, so the student
failing to finish college may be
in a similar position as the col
lege population grows and an
ever-increasing number of grad
yates compete for jobs in an
automated society.
To acquire more information
on the problem, the job agency
interviewed directors of Hillel
Foundations at six large Mid
Western universities - North
western, Chicago, Michigan, Il
linois, Indiana and Wisconsin.
In addition to high tuition
costs, the principal factors in
Jewish dropouts from college
were found to be: The greater
academic pressure from swoll-
en- enrollments which tends to
force out students unable to
meet college study standards;
lack of motivation; disillusion
over the social aspects of cam
pus life; and vocational desires
which do not require a college
education and which are in con-
flict with goals of the students
parents.
The JVS official said there
also was "some evidence" of a
dissipation of the "traditionally
strong feeling among Jewish
students for scholastic achieve
ment."

Two young men who didn't
get started in building until
1860 have suddenly emerged
as leaders in the restoration
Of Capitol Hill to its one-time

neighborhood.
In thS year Barrett M.
Linde, : native Washington

aim Of renovating old homes
on the hill.
The name proved to be a
miSnomer. Federal Restora-
tons hasn't restored any
houses. But it has found an
increasing role for itself in
the growing movem ent to
copy the success of George
town in finding new dignity

Mr.. Linde is involved in still
a fourth firm, Barrett M.

t hat his building activities
have tended to upgrade the
Hill area, be has been buying
adjoining properties for resale
to remodelers at a profit.
He talks about his town
b ouses with more than a
touch Of ideahsm.
All of them tend to be Fed
eral in style and combine
''the grace and stateliness of
a bygone era with the conven-
fences of a functionally
modern custom home"

homes in the ''thirties" found
a ready demand, they added

worked his way up to carpen-
ter's helper. Although his late
father, Arthur, was a surgeon
here, young Barry had want
ed to be a builder since he
was in his teens.
On the advice of his father
in-law he studied law at night
for a year, but it didn't take.
He worked as a settlement
clerk for a title insurance
company and then became a
salesman for a commercial
broker.
Mr.. Linde and Mr.. Jaffe are
now constructing a group Of
eight homes in the 300 block
Of Constitution avenue NE,
near the Supreme Court build
ing. They feel that with their
emphasis on such custom de-
tails as m arble and slate
floors, solid cherry kitchen
cabinets and intercom-radio
systems, they can continue to
prosper and grow for years to
come without going outside
the District.

all the new homes going up on
the Hill.
NJ. Lin d e explained the
split corporate personality
thus: IN 1862 he and Mr.. Jaffe
formed Javelin Construction,
Ltd. "a d. C. firm) to build
homes on contract. Javelin,
however, currently Is doing
what comes naturally to the
partners-buying lots and
building on speculation.
Then the Arthur Develop
ment Co. was formed, in con-
junction with a third partner,
to develop some land in the
Briarcliffe-Kent area in the
western part Of the city.
There they have built four
fine homes and are planning
eight more.
The biggest feather In their
cap was selling a Capitol Hill
home to Alvin E. 0'Konski,
Republican Representative
from Wisconsin. Another was
bought by Mrs. Marjory Hen
bricks, treasurer Of the Water
Gate Inn.

Subroc Nears
Use by Navy
By the Associated Press

The Navy said today that its
long-range Subroc missile, a
major breakthrough" in anti
submarine warfare, Is nearing
operational status.
Subroc is a combination
atomic depth bomb and rocket
which Is launched by q sub
merged submarine from an or
dinary torpedo tube. It's name
is a contraction of submarine
rocket"
The torpedo-shaped, two-ton
weapon ignites beneath the
water, emerges as a rocket,
speeds toward the target area,
then drops back into the water
to seek out its target and deto-
nate.
The Navy announcement
calls the weapon a major
breakthrough in meeting the
threat of missile firing enemy
submarine" and says its range
is greater than any other
anti-submarine weapon except
aircraft"
Speculation is that its range
is UP to 80 miles.
Subroc Is still undergoing de-
velopmental tests but is "mov-
ing toward operational status"
the announcement said.
The system was developed by
the Naval Ordance Laboratory
of the Bureau Of Weapons at
White Oak, Md, and the prime
contractor is Goodyear Aeros-
pace Corp. Of Akron, Ohio.
The first submarine equipped
with the new missile was the
Thresher, lost earlier this year.
A sister ship, Permit, also
equipped with the Subroc, has
carried out most Of the testing,
In the Pacific.
To date, an estimated $50
million has been spent on the
new weapon, not counting the
costs OF at-Sea testing. The full
costs are expected to be about
5000 million.

7.Ndfion Panel
Opposes Plan
For Affect

PARIS, Dec. 4 CAP)-The
Western European Union. an
advisory body Of legislators
from the six Common Market
countries and Britain, voted to-
day to oppose the United
States-proposed nuclear fleet
made up Of the nations Of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organi-
zation.
The proposal was put forth
by President Kennedy after q
meeting nearly a year ago with
then-Prime Minister Harold
Macmillan of Britain in a
meeting in Nassau, the Bahia
mas.
P0laris- Missile Surface
Under the United States
plan, the force would be made
up Of men Of the Is NATO ma
tons operating under joint
NATO control, but with the
United States retaining author
ity to fire the missiles.
The vote against the plan
known as the mixed-manned,
multi-national nuclear force
came on an amendment filed
by British Laborite George
Brown.
Urges Another Plan
He recommended, in effect,
that the plan be thrown out in
favor Of a system placing
NATO nuclear weapons under
joint political control and un-
der unified strategic planning
within NATO.
The European Union vote has
no direct bearing on whether
the plan will be accepted or re-
jected by the NATO nations.
However, the Unions position
could weigh heavily on the fl
nal decisions of the individual
countries in making up their
minds. Aside from Britain, the
other members are France, TIA
ly, West Germany, The Neither
lands, Belgium and Luxem-
bourg.
The vote came after a top
political lieutenant Of President
de Gaulle Of France raped the
project in a speech before the
European Union Assembly. JAG
queS Baumel said:
Military Absurdity'
The proposed multi-lateral
force is q military abSurdity.
A mixed-manned surface force
under uncertain control could
not be taken seriously.
Mr.. Baumel is secretary
general of the Gaullist Union
for the New Republic Party.
France has previously made
clear its opposition to the
force.
What tortured spirit in
vented the formula for this sur
face fleet after the American
experts had turned down the
idea Of mixed manned) sub
marines?" Mr.. Baumel asked.

culation that commerce and
trade actually was hampered,
and some areas had to resort
to the use Of foreign money.
In 1858, Congress was
forced to reduce the amount
OF silver In coins below 81
so that 1t would no longer
be worth while to melt them.
1t decided to retain the ira
ditional silver content Of silver
dollars. AS a result of this
action, the dollar piece still
contains more silver than q
dollars worth Of other coins.
Again during World War I,
silver prices jumped high
enough to make coin-melting
profitable, reaching $1.37 an
ounce shortly after the peace
treaty was signed. This time,
however, the Government held
melting to a minimum by in
voking a provision Of the
Trading With the Enemy Act.
Ironically, the Government
itself wound up throwing mil
lions Of silver dollars into the
pots to get bullion to loan
England after the war. Eng
land needed silver to help in
establishing the currency in
India.

Don't Melt Those Silver Dollars, Spend Them

until Two years ago its buying
and selling policies held world
prices at an artificially low
90.5 cents an ounce-the price
of silver has climbed rapidly.
Silver-hungry commercial, in
dustrial and artistic buyers
have in recent days pushed
prices up TO $1.29 an ounce, its
highest since the wild specula-
ton days during and after the
first world war.
When the price Of world silver
exceeds $1.29 an ounce, silver
dollars become more valuable
for their silver content than
for spending. They still contain
the 77/100th ounces Of silver
originally prescribed ny Con-
gress in 1902. plus little cop
per for hardness.
Silver, once useful only as q
monetary standard and as a
decorative metal, lately has
found an increasing number Of
applications in industry. It is a
major ingredient in photo
graphic film, for instance, and
its conductivity and resistance
to corrosion make its valuable
in the electronics industry.
Rising demand has pushed
prices from a low Of "a cents
an ounce in 1882 to its current
