TALKING OF BUSINESS
Best Is Yet to Come, Konn Says,
In RevitoIizinq Downtown
BY WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star stan Writer

The revitalization of down.
town Washington is of to a
good start but the best is yet
to come.
That's the opinion Of Sol
Kann, president of S. Kann
Sons Co. department stores,
who pointed to visible signs of
progress toward his prediction.
He cited a few of them-the
recent rem cd cling of such
structures as the Interocean
Building, the Hub Furniture Co.
and his own store-as examples
of the coming new look.
ut is a combination of i'm
provement in looks and trans
portation that will revitalize
downtown" he said. This
combination is sure to bring
more people to the center of
the city"
He was confident that the
civic groups now at work on a
solution to the downtown areas
problems will come up with a
workable master plan.
Hopeful for Sales
These problems - such as
transportation, parking and
facelifting - are not things
that can be worked out imme-
diately." he said. But merchants
are hopeful, he said, that re-
vitalization will halt a moderate
decline in downtown sales in
recent months.
He suggested that the recent
Federal pay raise may help to
increase sales in the more i'm
mediate future.
Mr.. Kann conceded that the
question of financing the down.
town program may pose some
difficulties.
"The Federal Government,
the city and the merchants will
have to work together on that"
he said. Some of that money
will have to be public funds"
He observed that lit would be
in the Districts interest to keep
trade here" If businesses are
forced outside the District to
maintain a high level of COM
merce, he said, the city will lose
considerable tax revenues.

also has developed an air-cush-

Two former Air Force officers,
William H. Alper and Melville

firm. Mr.. Alper is president and
Mr.. Beardsley is vice president.
The stock is being offered
through directors and officers
and the company does not in
tend to pay any commissions at
present. The company has 2
million shares authorized, of
which $4,000 will be outstand-
ing after the offering.

He said he will continue his
"insistent efforts to obtain full
