Washington businessmen today
were studying a Board of Trade
survey giving concrete data on the
important question of the trend
Of retail business away from the
central business district.
! 1T Showed that, for every IS
| cents spent downtown for ap-
Iparei and home furnishings, 35
cents were spent in the outlying
lareaS.
These figures, the latest for a
wide cross-section of business. are
flor 1948. A similar tabulation has
jbeen undertaken only once before
last year in Cleveland.
Businessmen are convinced that
the trend has since been accentu-
ated. This is borne out by a
statement today by the Hecht Co.
Officials there reported that, from
February through September of
this year, so per cent of the total
sales was accounted for in their
downtown store. Their two Subur-
ban department stores, in Silver
Spring and in Parkington, Arling-
ton, account for 40 per cent.
Contrasted to 1948.
BY contrast. in 1948, sales of
apparel and home furnishings in
downtown department stores ac-
counted for 80 per cent of the
total such department store sales.
while the outlying department
stores accounted for only 20 per
cent.
The Board of Trades Metro
politan Sales Pattern Study was
made public last night. 1t was
presented at the first general
membership meeting of the Or
ganization this season in the
MayfoWer Hotel.
The survey analyses that part
of total spending accounted fol
by stores that sell apparel ano
home furnishings. This amounts
to 1915 million, or about one
fourth of the $1.46 billion totaI

Reds Would Liquidate
Third Of U. S.,Cvetic
Tells Trade Board

Matthew Cvetic, who helped the
FBI by posing as a Communist for
nine years, believes that if the
Reds took over the United States,
they would ultimately liquidate
one-third of the population of this
country.
He told the general membership
meeting of the Washington Board
Of Trade last night that the United
States, along with Italy. France
and Germany, stand high on the
Kremlin's timetable" of deStruc-
ton and dictatorship.
Much of Mr.. Cvetic's talk at the
meeting in the Mayflower Hotel
covered experiences and impress
sions he related at hearings before
congressional committees and
other groups since 1850. :.
Offers Program.
He offered this 11-point pro-
gram he said the Government and
individual citizens should carry out
to fight communism and Commu-
mist tactics:
l.. Demand that schools and COL
eges oust pro-Communist teachers.
2. Educate youth about the bene-
fits they enjoy in a free United
States.
3. Call on boards of education to
supply proper textbooks that ex-
pose the methods of communism.
4. Strengthen State and Federal
laws covering crimes of sabotage,
espionage, Sedition and conspiracy,
and remove the statutes of limita-
tions for such crimes.
S. Write members of Congress
to urge that the United Nations
never recognize Red China.
6. Elect men and women to all
public Offices who will not COM
promise with communism.
Would Sever Relations.
Z. Sever diplomatic relations
with Russia and her satellites.
8. Tass newspaper correspond
ents. who are merely Soviet
agents with typewriters," should
be kicked out of the United
States"
8. Call on non Communist
countries in the United Nations
to expell Russia and her satellites
from the U. N.
10. Denaturalize and deport
those who acquired American Cit
izenship to destroy the Consti-
tuition and freedoms by joining
the Communist Party"
II. Stop all aid to countries
doing business with Russia, Red
China and their satellites.
AS for Communist aims against
the United States, Mr.. Cvetic de-
clared he is convinced from first
hand experience with Communist
plotting that slave camps and
mass murder are planned for the
United States if the Communist
Party ever takes over.
Would Spare Young.
Here is the Communist aim
that was frequently discussed in
many Communist Party meetings
I attended," he said. 1.-The Com
munistS plotted to violently over
throw the United States Govern
ment, set up a dictatorship under
the thumb of the Kremlin and
ultimately liquidate-the Cons
munist word for mass murder
one-third of the population of
the United States. = o., -
Just which two-thirds of the
American citizens would be left
alive? The answer is that the
younger people will be left alive
because the Communists, who
have copied a page from Hitler's
book, concentrate on the youth to
take over country. Under COM
munism in the United States, the
Commies would leave alive older
people who could be temporarily
used"
Mr.. Cvetic estimated that the

TRACT OF LAND CLAIMED
BY JORDAN

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = A 300

Jordan, ownership of which had
been disputed by Jordan, has
been brought under cultivation, it
was learned. Two years ago, Arab
Legion units occupying the area
disputed Israel attempts to pillow
the land and a clash followed.
The Jordan-Israel Mixed Armis-
tice Commission, however, ruled
that the land, originally the prop
erty of the Palestine Electric
Corporation, was Israel territory.
No attempt was made this time
by Legionnaires to interfere with
the blowing which apparently
took them by surprise. The nine
tractors used in the operation
were moved into the area across
the dry bed of the Jordan River.
The area is expected to yield
winter crops.
