Maximum Trade Expected.
It Is designed to draw the maxi
mum trade into the shopping CEN
ter. By the middle Of 1852. the
80 stores adjacent to the building
win be open-many Of them sell
ing items competitive with
Hecht's.
In addition to sales establish
fnents, there win be service shops.
Included in the development plans
are q drugstore. q valet shop. q
flower shop. o gasoline filling sta
ton as well as clothing shops.
grocery, delicatessen. q jewelry
store and an auto accessory store.
To the merchandising man, the
center Is in an ideal spot. The
selection was not a haphazard one.
Many surveys were taken to de-
termine the best location. Store
executives drove their automo-
biles in from many points to find
out how long it would take to
reach various points.
Outgrowth Of Experience.
The design of q one-stop shop
ping center is an outgrowth Of
the firms experience In Silver
Spring.
Hecht's moved into Silver Spring
to take advantage of the heavy
growth in population in nearby
Maryland, and the fact that fam
lilies there have a high annual
income.
When the store was erected
165.000 square feet-other stores
focked to take advantage of close
ness to a large department store.
Since Hecht's opened in Silver
Spring. 100000 square feet of other
types Of stores have been built in
the area.
The store executives found that
the establishment of stores close
by drew more and more trade into
the area. Another two floors were
added to the Silver Spring store.

alton was the same. Arlington and

Israel Workers
Set Fund Goal
AT S145 Million
Budget Needs Based
On 81 immigration oi
150, 900 to Palestine

A SASS million budget for aiC
to Israel and its emergency i'm
migration program was adopted
here last night by the United
Palestine Appeal.
The budget was announced at
the National Conference for Israel
opening session at the Shoreham
Hotel in response to a cable from
Israel's prime minister, David Ben.
Gurion. The prime minister
warned that a shortage of funds
could hinder Jewish immigration
to the new nation.
The budget needs were based
on an estimated immigration oi
100000 Jews to Palestine during
the next II months. Rudolph G
Sonneborn, national chairman OF
the group said.
1000 Attend Meeting.
About 1000 delegates from
throughout the Nation are attend
ing the two-day session here. The
delegates will reorganize the Ap-
peal as the central Embarrassing
agency for Israel.
Representative Roosevelt, OF
New York. in his first public ad-
dress since returning from a tour
of the Middle East last month,
told the group that peace there
depends upon the signing of a
Inon-aggression pact to which the
United States. France and Britain
also must be signatories.
Mr.. Roosevelt urged the estab-
lishment of military command
in the Middle East as part of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organiza-
ton.
Because Of the consuming
hatred of the Arab League for
Israel. they still have failed to
comprehend the basic threat OF
Kremlinism to the free world" he
said.
Cites Present Distrust.
eff left to their own device. the
nations of the Middle East would
not work out a 'non-aggression
pact because Of their present mu-
tual distrust." he added.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that with the
three major Western democracies
as .signatories to such a treaty
Middle Eastern states would have
difficulty in remaining aloof with
out exposing itself to examination
to its intentions toward its neigh
bors.
DR.. Nahum Goldman, chairman
of the Jewish Agency for Pales-
tine. also addressed the confer
ence last night.

The New Hecht Co. store, set
down in the middle of Virginia
communities across the Potomac,
is pioneer come to do business
with a boomtown.
The store. crammed. with So
million worth Of merchandise.
opened its doors Friday to serve
an estimated 100000 people In
Northern Virginia.
The fabulous growth of the
area made such a move inevitable.
The population Of Washington
has overf1owed into the suburbs,
came along. Shopping centers be-
came the rule.
Goes Beyond the Rule.
But the new store in Arlington
goes beyond the rule. It is bigger,
spreads out more and brings in q
structure the likes of which SUBJ
urban communities never expected
to see.
At first view the cluster Of build
ings seems to be a startling de-
Iparture from store operation.
The broad opaque facade of the
main Hecht store is reminiscent
Iof a showcase grown to Alice in
Wonderland proportions. The tur-
quoise blue brick bordering the
many -paned window heightens the
illusion.
Long, Clear Vista.
From the point of the 18-acre
triangle on which the building is
seated at Glebe road and Wilson
boulevard 1t seems that if you
looked long enough you could see
through the glass doors at the
front. down the long main aisle
out the glass doors at the back
and on as far as vision permitted.
The buildings at the rear inter-
vene. Here, at the back of the
store. the long lines Of the parking
garage form q tail to the main
structure.
Spread out on each side of the
garage like the ribs Of a huge fan
are other shops. There even
ftualiy will be 80, leased by Hecht's
to other firms.
The Hecht Co. says theirs is the
largest suburban department store
In the country.
Contains Five Floors
There are five f1oors--four above
ground and the basement--cov-
Iering an estimated $50, 900 square
feet. In addition. a SO. .000-square-
foot underground stockroom car
Iries reserve supplies.
The development recognizes the
importance of catering to the
Imotor-borne shopper. q fact many
times overlooked or impossible of
accomplishment In crowded down
town areas.
The ur-floor parking garage
at the rear has space for 1000
cars. To keep the traffic flowing
in and out of the garage. only the
first two hours will be free park
ing. After that. a charge will be
made. This way. the store hopes
to handle 10000 automobiles q
day.
100000 in Carpeting.
The new store contains $780,.
700 worth of carpeting, SITS. .000
worth of cash registers and $40,-
900 worth of chairs. The heating
unit is large enough to heat 125
six-room homes.
A 300-seat auditorium will be
available for community meetings
and other events.
But apart from statistics. the
physical layout also gives an i'm
preston of size. Broad aisles in
side the store proper add to the
impression. as do the simplicity OF
the supporting columns and the
soft interior colors.

HIGH SCHOOL
STAR SIGNS WITH
PITTSBURGH
BY A. S. (DOc) YOUNG

LOS ANGELES - (ANP) -
Bonnie Daniels, 10, fast-ball
pitcher who was graduated from
Compton High school last week,
Tuesday night signed a bonus
contract to play baseball for the
Pittsburgh Pirates organization.
The signing of Daniels mark
ed a continuation of indignation
in baseball and was doubly sig
nificant because Branch Hickey,
general manager of the Pirates
and the man who signed Jackie
Robinson for the Brooklyn Dod-
gers organization in 1945, sign
ed him up.
Ross "RoSy" FilhouSen, a for
mer professional star represented
the Pittsburg club as the con-
tract was signed at Daniels home
1871 E. l22nd ST., with his father,
Bonnie Daniels ST., and mother
looking on. Gilhouse, listed Off
cially as a scout for the Holly
wood tars, recommended Daniels,
whom he had watched in high
school and American Legion ball.
Five major league clubs were
interested in the right handed
pitcher: the Boston Braves, Pr
rates, Cleveland Indians, New
York Giants, and Chicago White
Sox. Their interest was stimulated
as result of contracts made by
this writer, who covered major
league ball in the East and Mid
west. Daniels originally was
noticed by Judson Howard, him
self former professional player
and friend of the pitchers
family.

Dean Clark chose for her sub

pleasant and persuasive manner
she masterfully handled her sub

her discourse numerous sayings

the Master, seeking first the

they should all seek to live on

numbers on the program was a
