Penney, With !, $50 Stores,
Cuts Ribbon to Open Another
BY Richard Rodgers

il G. Penney, the merchant
prince. says opportunities are
greater today than ever before
in his experience.
And his Is a lot Of experience
In the SO years since he opened
his first place, he has built an
empire of some 1850 stores, the
largest department store chain
In the world.
Mr.. Penney cut the ribbon yes
terday at ceremonies opening the
chains latest outlet, in Alexan-
dria, Va, on North Washington
street between King and Cam
eron streets.
When I first went to work In
q store. ! was In my nineteenth
year and made $2.27 q month, !"
he told reporters. BE sure you
get that right-$2.27 a month.
not $227 q month and not $2.27
ia week or an hour"
Later two partners who OPP
Grated q six-store chain let him
buy q partnership in a new place.
He had $500 Of his own and bor-
rowed $1,000 to make up his
share.
Fired Ambition.
when I got that chance, it
fired my heart with an ambi-
ton / cannot describe" he said.
In those days. in Wyoming,
he dreamed Of the day he would
be a partner in a 25-store chain.
Eventually he bought out his
partners. Before long he had Is
stores Of his own and started
dreaming Of having so.
when we reached So" he
said, II knew there were no
limits"
His stores still operate as they
did then-a strict cash-and-car-
ry policy.
How about today's trend
toward credit and deliveries?
WELL" he replied. I'VE have
seen the organization grow in
so years to 1850 stores under
that policy. We don't have any
idea Of changing it,"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1954-08-20

Later yesterday Mr.. Penney
addressed Alexandria's Chamber
Of Commerce.
Free competition, as / see it,"
he said. lis not q dog-eat -dog
struggle for q given amount Of
business. Free competition is a
healthy spur that improves the
job each merchant does. so that
more and more business Is at
tracted into an area for all the
merchants to share"
More Stores, More Profits.
He said that "every time we
open a store in a new town
everybody profits from the ar
rival OF another unit In shop
ping area"
Mr.. Penney lamented the fact
he hasn't been able to get around
personally to every one Of his
stores.
do you realize it would take
me five years if ! just spent a
day in each one?" he asked.
At that, he estimates he has
visited about IS per cent Of his
stores.

Army 10 Try Officer
Held as Collaboration
With Reds in Korea
By The Associated Press

FORT SHERIDAN, Ill, Aug.
20.-An Army lieutenant colonel
goes on trial today before a
general court martial on charges
he elaborated with the Com
munists in a North Korean
prison camp.
1t. Col. Harry Fleming, As, of
Racine, Wis, is the first Ameri-
can officer to face a court martial
for behavior as a prisoner of
war in Korea.
The 5th Army said Col. Flem-
Ing is charged with violating the
95th and 96th Articles of War
and the 1880 and 134th articles
Of the Uniform Code Of Military
Justice - in essence, that he
"wrongfully elaborated with
the enemy and committed acts
detrimental to fellow prisoners of
war"
8 Years In Captivity.
A prisoner for three years, Col.
Fleming was released in the ex-
change of prisoners last Septem-
Der. An artillery officer. he was
captured in October, 1850, while
serving with the military adj
vlsory group attached to the
South Korean 9Th Infantry
Division near the Yalu River.
A previous court martial in
Washington convicted Cpl. Ed
ward S. Dickinson of Crackers
Neck, Va. of similar charges of
collaborating with the Commu-
nistS while a prisoner and SEN
fenced him to 10 years in prison.
Similar charges are pending
against another enlisted man.
but Col. Fleming is the first
officer to be charged with COL
liberation.
Schwable Not Tried.
A board of inquiry in WASH
ington decided not to try Col.
Frank Schwable. a Marine fiier.
before a court martial for germ
warfare broadcasts made on
Pieping Radio. The decision
was based on evidence that Col.
Schwable had broken under
mental torture.
The board decided. however,
that Col. Schwable, as result
OF his behavior. had lost the
capacity to lead troops. He has
been reassigned to the Pentagon.
The Air Force has been hold
Ing similar hearings at Scott
Air Force base near st. Louis to
determine the fitness of a num-
Der of Air Force officers who
confessed falsely that the United
States waged germ warfare.
None of these inquiries has re-
suited in court martial.
