DATE OF KRUCKMAN
LEAVING POST OPEN
Conference Of Director and Other
D. C. Bicentennial officials
Held on Retirement.

The stage was set today for the re-
tirement OF Arnold Kruckman as d.
rector Of the District of Columbia BIZ
centennial Commission. but the date
was left q matter Of uncertainty.
The matter Of when Mr.. Kruckman
would leave the work of preparing for
Washington's participation In the ex-
tended celebration next year in honor
of George Washington was to be set
tied Friday, according to O statement
by DR.. Cloyd Heck Marvin, Chairman
Of the local commission.
Mr.. Kruckman, who was brought
here from the West Coast to serve as
director of the District commission,
could not be reached today for a state
ment of his plans.
DR.. Marvin. DR.. George G. Havenner,
recently made executive vice chairman
of the local commission, and Mr.. Kruck-
man this morning held conference on
the matter.
Afterward DIR. Marvin said all he
could report at this time was that final
decision as to when Mr.. Kruckman
would leave was to be reached Friday.
DR.. Havenner had no comment to make
except that no final decision had been
reached as yet.
Recently there has been some differ
ence Of opinion over policies of the
commission growing out of the sale of
Bicentennia1 stamps and posters under
which the commission was to receive
minor portion of the receipts and the
remainder to 60 to o commercial con-
Germ and its salesman handling the
stamps and posters.
These activities and the general sale
of concessions by which the work of the
District commission was being financed
in part was severely criticized by Repre-
sentative Sol Bloom Of New York, asso-
ciate director of the United States BIZ
centennial Commission.
Mr.. Kruckman replied at the time
that the commission was confronted
with the alternatives Of carrying on re-
duced program activities or countenanc-
ing sale of concessions by which 1t
would derive some operating funds.
When DR.. Havenner recently was APP
pointed executive vice chairman of the
commission the subsequent resignation
of Mr.. Kruckman was seen In some
quarters as o natural result.

He challenged also the assertion that
