/ protest against the recent
indiscreet statement by Secre-
tary of State Dulles regarding
the Indian-Portuguese contro-
versy over Goa.
AS q descendant, on both
sides of my family. Of pre-
Revolutionary American patri-
OTIS who fought successfully
against British colonialism. a
lifelong friend Of India and
follower Of Gandhi, also an &C
tive participant in the activities
of the Washington branch of
the India Independence League.
which I helped to organize over
81 years ago. may be qualified
to comment on Mr.. Dulles
statement, wherein he referred
to Goa as a Portuguese prov
ince and seemed to sympathize
with Portugal's claims to Goa
as a colony and dependency
American foreign policy as
authorized by Congress lever
since our achievement Of
independence from colonial
status always has heretofore
been sympathetic with the
struggles of oppressed peoples
everywhere to achieve indie
pendence and self-government,
so Mr.. Dulles tacit indorse-
ment of the Portuguese posi-
ton In this struggle of the
Goans for liberty is a reversal
of our anticolonial policy Of
about 1870 years standing.
The Goans are admittedly
Indians for chronological. racial.
religious and geographical rea-
sons, also because of identical
language and culture. there
fore the merger of this small
area with the Republic of
India is officially. morally. po-
litically and logically right and
inevitable.
The best way to permanently
and peaceably settle the Goan
problem is through a vote Of
its citizens, Economically con-
Quoted, and preferably under
the United Nations auspices.

Saturday Openings Boost
Downtown Stores Sales

Leading Washington mer-
chants are much pleased with
the results of keeping the big
downtown stores open on Satur-
days during the summer.
They won't go back to summer
closings either, they agree. They
learned their lesson year age
when a transit strike cut down
shopping during the week and
forced stores to consider Satur-
day hours in order to bolster
sales.
Andrew Parker, president OF
Woodward & Lothrop, told The
Star yesterday that Thursday
and Saturdays are the best
downtown shopping days of the
week and that Saturdays have
the edge.
People who work through the
week and are unable to get to
the stores have time to do their
shopping on the final day of
the week, he said.
Harry M. Davidow, executive
vice president of the Hecht Co.
said his organization also was
much pleased with results of
Saturday openings so far, but
felt all downtown stores needed
to do more toward promoting
and advertising Saturday shop
ping.
If all stores join in the promo
tional campaign all will benefit,
he emphasized. He said results
of the first two Saturdays since
July 4 had been satisfactory
although sales last Saturday

IT think Saturday openings
are a must" declared Ralph
Goldsmith. president of Lans-
burgh's. fPeople here have the
time and desire to shop on Sat-
urdays and it is up to us to stay
open to serve them. Saturday
openings a year ago turned what
would have been a losing month
into a profitable one"
M. L. Harrison, superintendent
of S. Kann Sons Co., said stay
ing closed on Saturdays for so
many years was very foolish
thing.
Nov that the value of staying
open has been proven, we are not
likely to ever go back to the old
summer schedule. Our COMPETE
tors wouldn't let us if we wanted
to-" he said.
Some moderate increase in
temporary personnel has been
necessary in order to take care of
vacations and the additional
Saturday hours, said Mr.. Har-
rison. However, this has been
cushioned by other factors.
Demand for summer items so
far this year, covers q wide
range. with no particular stand
outs such as fans and air-condi-
TONERS were a year ago. The
merchants still are whistling
about that bonanza. THE heat
brought a rush for anything that
might keep the customers cool.
They are not too worried about
the present cool spell. THE

NEW YORK. July 21.-The

within a narrow range this week
to wind up without overall
progress. Treasury bonds were
of sharply.
Industrials registered a good
advance while utilities and for
eign dollar liens improved a
fraction. Rails declined, and in

The net result was practically
an even balance on dead center
The weeks volume was only
$18,397,500, higher than the

ment, then recovered strongly
Thursday and Friday to close

The Government bond market
was in a descending spiral, with
weakness particularly evident in
long range issues. For the week,
the 2las Of 1868 gave up 1882
at SO 4/32 bid on Friday. The

Forgotten Records

The American people soon will
be requested to search for mis-
placed or forgotten historical
documents bearing on Alexander
Hamilton and his times, Senator
Mundt, Republican of South
Dakota, said today.
Columbia University will aid
in editing them.
The Senator, chairman of the
Alexander Hamilton Bicenten-

Iof the plans for an adequate
observance, starting January IL,
1857. 1t will mark the 200th
anniversary of the birth of Alex
ander Hamilton.
Senator Mundt asserted:
1T is our plan to formally open
the bicentennial year with an
appropriate ceremony before a
Joint session of Congress. In
the course of the year we expect
that many of the State Legis-
latures will hold similar joint
sessions.
also, we are most hopeful
that special ohServances will be
held in cities and communities,
especially in those places closely
