of Hecht Go.

Net earnings of the Hecht Co.
declined to $6SO.72l or So cents
a share in six months ended
July 81, compared with $796, 900
or 81 cents a share in the same
period, Chairman Samuel M.

Sales in the six months
amounted to $47,O36,341, COM
pared with $48. 8.457.576 a year
earlier.
This years firSt-half re-
suits include nonrecurring
costs incurred in termination
of major lease obligations and
other expenses resulting from
the closing of Hecht's Four
teenth street store in New York
City in 1885," the report said.

ring expenses approximately
equalled the operating losses of
this unit included in results
of the first half Of 1885," it

and rental properties of this
store now has been completed"
Sales comparisons for the six
months reflect elimination of
the New York store as well as
the opening of the new Ed

report declared. Sales of other
units have been affected by the
opening of several new shop
ping centers in their trading
areas. it said.

that only a worldwide COM
mon moral force could insure
international justice and
peace"
Now people everywhere real
lie. Mrs. White said, that in
