Firm Here
Aiding in
ROcketry

The Schonstedt Instrument
Company, primary supplier Of
magnitometers for use in rock
cts and satellites, has just
doubled its company floor space
at Brookville Road, Silver Spr,
ing.
The company was established
in 1858 by its president, Erick
o. Schonstedt. The Extensive
use of magnitometers in scienti.
fic research rockets and satel.
lites has made the firm a leader
in the scientific space measur.
ing instrument field.
Magnitometers are used for
measuring magnitic field inten.
sites and for determining the
orientation of rockets and satel.
lites In space. They are also used
in the control systems that di.
rectionally stabilize satellites
with respect to the Earth's mag.
netic field.
Much of the information that
has been obtained concerning
the termination of the Earth's
magnetic field and the magnetic
fields associated with the solar
winds has been recorded by the
Schonstedt instruments.
The firm manufactures a slow
speed tape recorder and instru.
ments for automatic weather
stations. And develops and
manufactures Instruments for
oceanographic research.
When the firm was estab-
lished 1t had only two employees
and it produced the magnito-
meters for the Employer VI.
Since that time the number has
grown to 20 full time employees
and they have supplied instru-
ments for many of the research
satellites and rockets including
the Employer X which travelled
10000 miles into space.
With the additional floor
space the company plans to ex-
pand its activities into fields
which its past size would not
warrant. Associated with Schon-
stedt in the management of the
company are John E. Clarke,
vice president and Charles r.
Upton, chief engineer.

First National Bank

Recent merger of Farmers
Banking and Trust Company
with the First National Bank
of Maryland brought the re-
sources and experience Of one Of
Marylands' largest Banks into
Montgomery County.
First National was founded
in 1906 and embraces almost
the entire life span of our ma
ton. The year 1868 marks the
Banks 18th anniversary. For
almost 16 decades the Bank has
been an active part of Mary.
land, sharing its hopes and as.
pirations, its problems and its
expansion.
Ten years after the town of
Baltimore was Incorporated, the
Bank now known as the First
National Bank of Maryland,
was chartered. First designated
as the Mechanics Bank of Balti-
more, the new Bank was ap-
proved by the Maryland State
Legislature in 1906,
During this period. banking
was dominated by the First
Bank of the United States. In
fact, there were only % banks
In the United States in 1900. Ma
tional Banks did not come into
being until 1868.
1t was in this setting that the
present First National Bank of
Maryland was founded to pro-
vide the needed financial serv-
ices in this rapidly growing
port and industrial center. Man.
agement of the bank included
many industrial pioneers under
the leadership of John Weather
burn. The initial paid in capital
was $4,000.
A significant provision in the
banks constitution stipulated
that nine of the IL directors
should be practical mechanics or
manufacturers, and further
more, should have actually
wrought at some mechanical or
manufacturing trade for the
term of three years at least.
Thus from its inception the
bank recognized the importance
Of small business and a need to
work closely with the commun.
ity. The War of 1912 directed
the nations efforts to protect
Ing its shipping and ports as
well as inland cities. With the
cessation of hostilities the bank
became deeply interested In
pioneering commercial under.
takings.
Through the bank, funds were
made available to expanding
Baltimore firms which were
directing their efforts toward
carrying the city's influence and
trade to the promising middle
West.
The War of Independence, the
beginning of the Iron Horse"
and the Civil War all were pre-
ludes to a new horizon. Through
two World Wars and the trials
Of the thirties, First National

NEW YORK, Oct. 10 (AP)
Former President Dwight D.

United States should start
withdrawing some Of its troops
from Europe.
He said such a move would
have many repercussions, ="
but that it was needed both to
ease the drain on American
dollars. and to encourage West
European countries to develop

nomic problems. But to stimu-
late the economy on a broad
national basis, he said, tax cuts
are most effective.
Wrong Way, He Says
I II the administration insists
on cutting taxes instead of in
creasing Federal spen din G,
Senator Gore said. the pending
tax bill is the wrong way to do
it.
He produced figures designed
to show that the bills rate re-
auctions would increase after
tax income much more for
w althy individuals than for
those in low-income brackets.
And he charged that Mr.. Dill
Ion failed to fight hard enough
for tax reforms aimed at clos
ing "loopholes" benefiting the
wealthy.
/ Mr.. Dillon replied that
&C r o sthe-board rate reduc-
tons inevitably give more relief
in dollars to the wealthy than
to those lower on the income
scale. because the wealthy pay
more taxes in the first place.
He maintained that he has
done his best to push reforms
through Congress, and has
made substantial progress.
FavOrs Larger Exemption
Instead of reducing tax rates
across the board, Senator Gore
said, the tax bill should in
crease the $500 personal ex-
emption.
He said he will fight as hard
as he can to amend the bill in
this respect. Increased exemp.
tons, he said, would concen.
trate tax relief on those in low
income brackets.
Mr.. Dillon said an increase
in the exemption from $500 tt
$1,000 would cost the Govern.
ment more than the $11 billion
revenue loss of the administra.
tons bill.
Moreover, he contended, THU
approach would be inequitablt
and ineffective, and would neg
elect the need to stimulate
business investment.
Commerce Secretary Hodge.
filed a formal statement yes
terday instead Of testifying. He
said the tax bill would stimu.
late both consumer spending
and business investment.

BY LEE M. COIN
Star staff Writer

Democratic liberals are caus-
ing almost as much trouble as
conservatives in both parties
for President Kennedy's tax
bill.
Rallying behind the Demo-
cratic Party's traditional BAN
'ner Of social justice" some Of
the liberals are attacking the
legislation as a rich mans bill
And they are dem an ding
that the administration stop
talking so much about curtail-
ing Federal spending in the
campaign to win conservative
support for tax reductions.
Despite the Presidents
pledges to hold spending down,
conservatives still are criticizing
him for proposing tax cuts at q
time Of big budget deficits.
So the tax bill is caught in
cross-fire from both ends Of
the theological spectrum.
Although the cross-fire prob
ably is not heavy enough to kill
the bill, it has slowed progress.
The specter Of battle over civ
il rights adds complications.
See Delay Until 1864
The administration has not
given up hope for enactment Of
the tax bill this year, but many
congressional supporters Of the
legislation predict a delay until
the 1854 session.
When the House debated and
passed the bill last month,
there was no talk Of social JUS
tice and little discussion on the
merits of giving big tax relief
to corporations and wealthy in
dividuals.
Supporters Of the bill in the
House spent most Of their time
assuring conservatives that
enactment of tax cuts would
unleash private enterprise and
make it unnecessary for the
Government to stimulate the
economy by increasing Federal
spending.
Gore Leads Attack
But now that the bill is be-
fore the Senate Finance Com
mittee, liberals are revivin g
traditional Democratic argu-
ments against tax reductions
for the wealthy.

early next year. Interior De-
partment officials announced
today. e
Secretary Of the Interior
Udall, who is attending a con-
ference of park superintendents
at Yosemite National Park,
Calf, has appointed George
B. Hartzog. jr.. to succeed Mr..
Wirth, a department spokes-
man said.
Mr.. Hartzog. a native Of

been in Government service II
years.
Praised by Udall
In the retirement announce
ment released this morning by
department aides, Mr.. Udall
praised Mr.. Wirth as a "dedi-
Gated leader who, almost SINGLE
handedly, conceived and won
approval of the Mission Sc pro-
gram which has done so much
to strengthen the national park
system"
Connie Wirth has won q
place on the highest honor
roll of those who have done
the most to preserve a rich
outdoor legacy for the Amer
lean people," Secretary Udall
said.
Mission 66 was the name
given to a broad program of
parkland improvements 10
year project with a target date
Of 1866.
The park chiefs retirement,
according to some Interior Of
ficials, reflects a difference Of
views among department Of
ficials on parkland use.
Stressed Recreation
Secretary Udall is known to-
favor increased development of
Irecreational facilities in the
Nations forest, mountain and
coastal parklands. Last year,
he created the Bureau Of Out
door Recreation.
In a telephone conversation
today Mr.. Wirth commented
on reports that some park serv-
ice oldtimers have resisted park
programs outlined by the new
Bureau Of outdoor Recreation.
Mr.. Wirth said he favors-I
and has so stated in the past
comprehensive planning for
the development of recreation
al facilities and believes that
the new bureaus planning
goals will benefit the Nations
parkland resources. He added.
however:
There's bound to be some
shifting and discussion when
a new bureau is set up. 1t takes
time for these things to settle"
Planning for Retirement

dicated that If published re-
ports of friction in the park
service implied that his retire
