quest for leyeled-on prices"
The members adopted resolution
which individually and collec-
lively pledged the group to ZEN
courage sound real estate apprais-
ais by sellers of property before
offering them on the market" and
to counsel with the owners against
sales "at prices in excess of rea-
sonable value based on present re-
placement costs"
Georgetown Cut Pushed.
The resolution declared that re-
sale prices of homes have in many
cases been placed at too high a
level.
As the Nationwide movement to
cut prices by 10 per cent or more
gained additional support among
businessmen in the District, the
Georgetown Trade Guild announced
that it expected to get the pledges
Of approximately $50 merchants in
the Georgetown area to cut their
prices beginning Thursday.
A 10 per cent price slash on all
merchandise will be placed in effect
| for 30-day trial period. it was an
nounced by James P. Fitch, chair
man of the businessmen's group.

| vile area will also institute a lC

chandise starting tomorrow, Sylvan
Dietz, spokesman for the storekeep-
ers, said last night.

In addition, businessmen in a
number of other nearby Maryland
and Virginia towns are expected tt

clude those in Arlington County ir
Virginia, and Prince Georges anc
Montgomery Counties in Maryland
Leading the meetings tomorrow
will be sessions by the Business
mems Association of Silver Spring
and the Alexandria Retail Business
mems Association.
The Silver Spring group has 49,

port of the more than $50 retailers
who provide most of the mer-
chandise for Alexandria S 75,00t
population.
Mean while, the Washington
Board of Trade has announced that
it will begin collecting information
on price cutting in other cities, in.
Guiding Newburyport, Mass, where
the plan to cut prices by 10 per cent
was Matched.
| William H. Press, executive secre-
