Manufacturing industries In
the United States are becom-
ing increasingly alarmed over
an old problem: Their inability
to measure accurately.
Errors in judging such things
as size, weight and tempera.
ture can be responsible for
failures in space, for air dis
asters and for the sometimes
unreliable performance of con-
sumner items like automobiles
and washing machines.
Experts in the burgeoning
science of measurement est
mate that these mistakes cause
waste costing billions Of dol
lars each year. Measurement
errors in the area Of space
exploration alone have added
several hundred million dol
lars to the Federal budget,
they figure.
Advances Unused
Technical advances, which
have mushroomed over the last
five years, are staying locked
III The laboratories because
science and industry have not
yet been able to develop the
exacting standards of measure
ment required for their adap-
tation to everyday life.
Industry is demanding more
accuracy more rapidly than 1t
is likely to get It," comments
William A. Wildhack, associate
director Of the National Bu-
reau Of Standards, where the
most exacting measurements
are made and where most Of
the research in the field is
conducted.
Moreover. measurement prob
lens, particularly in the aero
space and electronics indus
tries, are increasing. Industry
calls the situation "the meas
urement gap,". and this gap"
between scientific potential
and its current practical limi-
tations Is considered quite
serious.
One aerospace company, for
instance, says 1t could reduce
the number of times it test
fires its rocket engines, at a
cost of $125, 900 a test in fuel
alone, If accurate temperature
measurement methods were
available.
Gyroscope Error
Another company notes that
an error Of one-millionth of
an inch In the bore of a gyro-
scope can cause q rocket to
miss the moon by o thousand
miles or so.
Accurate measurement to
the millionth Of an inch is a
common requirement Of mod
ern industry. In setting up his
first assembly line, Henry Ford
never worried about tolerances
that close, but in making a
complicated radio. smaller

Senate Foreign Affairs
 Committee FavOrs Limited Nuclear Test Ban Treaty

WASHINGTON R - The Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee voted l6 to l Thursday to approve the limited nuclear test ban treaty without any reservation.
 It now goes to the Senate for what proponents predict will be overwhelmingly ratification.
 Sen. Russell Long, cast the lone vote against the treaty.
 The vote came after the com mittee beat down two motions to delay action, and another to de- mand access to all correspondence between Washington and Moscow leading up to and during the nego- tiation of the pact.
 Chairman J. w. Fulbright said the committee agreed to take the treaty up on the floor of the Sen ate Monday.
 A formal report will be submit ted to the Senate Tuesday or We'd nesday, embracing US. under standings" and interpretations" of its meaning, fulbright said.
 This would be designed to eli minate any need for any formal reservation which might require a re-negotiation of the pact ban ming tests in the atmosphere, un- derwater and in outer space, but not underground.

Civil Rights March DramatiZes the
 Wants of Negroes

WASHINGTON R - The his toric civil rights march on Wash ington - massive and orderly and moving - has dramatized the wants of Negroes in America, but leaders still faced the task of try ing to turn drama into action.
 Speaker after speaker told the 100000 Negro and white sympa- thizers massed in front of the Lin coin Memorial Wednesday that their demonstration was no more than a beginning.
 Those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content" said the Rev Martin Luther King Jr, twill have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual.'
 The estimate of the size of the audience came from Police Chief Robert Murray. He described it as the largest crowd of partici- pants in any Washington event" in his memory, and possibly the greatest number taking active part in an event in the capitals his tory.
 Demonstrators and their leaders made it clear that one sign of pro- gress, in their view, would be con- gressional approval of President Kennedy's civil rights bill.
 Kennedy, like the civil rights leaders, also talked in terms of a beginning. He met with King and other civil rights leaders after the demonstration and said, i've have a long way yet to travel"
 But the President also said "the cause of 20 million Negroes has been advanced by the program sc appropriately before the nations shrine to the great emancipator'
 Kennedy, in his statement spoke of the demonstration! quiet dignity" and this was tht element of the day that probabl. most impressed the City of Wash ington.
 Police had three minor arrests none of a demonstrator. Red Cros workers reported what they ex pected for a crowd so large: share of headaches, faintings broken bones and insect bites. De monstrators, tired and quiet, head ed home in their special buses ane trains.
 By g p.m., Washington police re ported the city normal, and re lieved almost all special police de tails from duty.

VALIC Unveils SeIf-EmpIoyed Pension Plans

Variable Annuity Life In
surance Co. Of America, first
entry in the field Of variable
annuities. has decided to pio-
neer in the field of pensions
for the self-employed.
John D. Marsh, president of
the Washington company, yes
terday announced it will offer
the first insured pension plan
created specifically to meet re-
tirement needs of the self
employed as contemplated
under the self-Employed Tax
Retirement Act of 1862.
1.-THE VALIc HR 10 Retire
ment Plan" has been approved
by insurance departments of
the Dlstrlct OF Columbia and
Of States in which the COM
pany operates, Mr.. Marsh said
at a news conference announc-
ing the plan.
Banks Studying Law
In the opinion of qualified
legal experts, the plan will
meet the criteria expected to
be set forth by the Internal
Revenue Service in its forth
coming regulations implements
ing the Keogh-Smathers stat
ute," Mr.. Marsh declared.
In the meantime, trust de-
partments Of Washington area
banks have been giving the
new law close attention. In a
number of recent cases, their
attorneys have advised that the
Internal Revenue Service is not
expected to have regulations
ready before November and
that 1t will take time after
that to draft model forms and
plans to permit bank trust de-
partments to offer plans to

guidelines from the IRIS has
been anticipated since the end
of 1862.
In order to guarantee full
protection to purchasers Of the
VALIC retirement plan the
contract will specify that If
this plan fails to meet IRIS
specifications, the company will
modify the contract to conform
to regulations or alternatively
refund the entire premium. Mr..
Marsh said.
Features Combined
The vALIC plan combines
features of the variable annuity
and a fixed-dollar annuity. he
declared. Under the equity
funded plan, the purchaser may
select any range Of benefits
from a 100 per cent variable
annuity to 100 per cent fixed
dollar annuity, he added.
An effort has been made to
avoid complexities generally as
ISOLATED with pension and re-
tirement plans and the buyer
has the option Of including such
benefits as life and disability
coverage in the annuity con-
tracts at special premium rates,
he told newsmen. Participating
employees of the self-employed
individual also will be able to
purchase these additional COW
erages If they wish, he said.
The VALIC plan also will be
offered ON a group basis and
will be geared to meet needs Of
associations Of self-employed
individuals at lower group pre-
MUM rates, he declared.

COTTON

NEW YORK (AP). Cotton futures
prices closed on firm ground this week,
with gains of to IS cents a bale.
The gains hid a mid-week plunge that
had dropped prices in much the same
as in the previous week, when
losses were IS cents TO Sl.AS a bale.
The recovery was aided by the prompt
stopping OF March notices, the continued
improvement in spot cotton values and
the tightness Of the free" cotton supply
Free cotton generally is that outside
Government warehouses, and its un-
was credited by observers
with a price rise in the spot market
that has continued since the middle Of
November.
Exports for the week ended last Tues
day were estimated by the New York
Cotton Exchange at los, bales com.
pared with 100000 a week earlier and
10000 In the same week a year ago. For
the season through March S, exports
totaled l,8lo.000 bales, far below the
3,OH.OOo bales in the comparable period
last year.

Last week the Sterling Park

The next step will be an
application to the United States

license is approved, ground will

center director.

Basically a free zone permits

some adroit savings.
