Bethlehem Plans
Expansion at
Baltimore

BALTIMORE, April 12.-De-
tails of Bethlehem Steel Co.'S
program to expand the rated
ingot capacity of its Sparrows
Point, Md, plant to 9 million
tons annually we're disclosed
today by C.. Thompson Stott,
general manager.
The planned 10 per cent in
crease will add 100000 tons
to plant already rated the
Nations largest at 80 million
tons.
Construction will get under
way on all phases this year,
he said, with some being sched-
uled for completion by Decem-
ber. Others will not be COM
pleted until 1861 or later.
Mr.. Stott had previously
stated that most of the in
creased tonnage would be pro-
vided by adapting the plant
new No. 4 Open Hearth Shop
for the use of oxygen. This
shop contains seven furnaces
rated at 375 tons each.

Decline Seen
In Du Pont Net

WILMINGTON, Del, April
Du Pont profits for the first
quarter of 1860 might be
slightly below last year because
OF many price reductions,
stockholders were told yester-
day.
Crawford H. GreeneWalt,
president of the E. I. du Pont
de Nemours & Co., Inc, said
sales for the first three months
totaled $535 million, about 6
per cent higher than the $506.5
million for the first quarter
Of 1859.
Even so, he reported, profits
which reached $69,522,00O for
the first quarter of last year,
equal to $1.53, probably will be
lower because of product price
cuts. Figures for 1860 were not
available yesterday.

Retail Trade Called
Key to 80 Outlook

The key to the current situa-
ton is whether retail trade will
rise to a level more in line with
current levels of income, Paul
w. McCracken of the School of
Business Administration of the
University of Michigan told the
Spring Economic Meeting of
the Union Trust Co. here yes
terday.
IF this occurs, uneasinesS
about inventories should begin
to dissipate and orders would
then be placed to make good
the projected increase in capi-
tai outlays," he declared. 1T
seems to me that this is a
reasonable expectation"

KrogerCo.Bid
ST. Million
FOrFood Town

The Kroger Co. of Cincinnati,
Ohio, has made an apparent
high bid of $1,714,941 for assets
of Food Town. Inc, which has
10 stores in this area.
The bid was submitted yester-
day at a Federal Court hearing
in Baltimore to consider plans
for reorganization of the Wash
ington food chain.
The apparent second highest
bid Of $1,703,941 was submitted
by Greenbelt Consumers, Inc,
which operates Coop super
markets. filling stations and
drug stores in the area.
Final decision on the offers
will be delayed pending a re-
port from the Securities and
Exchange Commission within
the next two weeks.
Judge Calvin Chestnut indi-
Gated that after receipt and
consideration of the SEC re-
port, he would call creditors to
hear his recommendation. Hear
ing was set for April 81. Cred
itors must approve the final
recommendations.
Creditors claims are expected
to approximate $2,980,000 al
though trustees have not an
nounced any definite figure as
yet. Unless the total reaches
SO million or over, the SECS
decision would be advisory
rather than mandatory.
The Kroger offer was de-
scribed by a number of cred
itors as better than expected. If
Kroger acquires Food Town as
sets, it will gain its first foot
hold in the Washington area.
Attorneys for Kroger pointed
out that their company op-
Grated 400 stores over the Ma
ton and had $l.9 billion of
sales in fiscal 1859.
: The SEC is participating in
the proceedings because 100, 900
shares of Food Towns preferred
stock was sold publicly in this
area at SO a share in April,
1857. All common stock is held
privately. A Chicago group
bought Food Town from the
original owners in May, 1858.

commented. He voiced a fear,
however. of too many park
ing lots" which eventually
might destroy much of the
areas business potential.
Parking lots alone do not
generate business" he warned.
Urges Identification Plan
A more logical improvement
of the downtown area, he said,
would result from a "beauti-
flcation" program.
Downtown must be made
pretty" Mr.. Dodek said.
Glance UP above the ground
floor on F street and you'll see
the ugliest sight in town. I
don't care if those upper floors
are rented. but the buildings
should be beautifled."
Shoppers, he said, want to
shop in attractive surroundings.
"a business should change it's
face every few years, whether
it needs it or not" he said.
Our business prospered after
remodeling. You've got to
Startle the public"
He voiced none of the cau-
ton that other merchants have
expressed about such proposals
as a downtown mall where
grass and trees would replace
traffic.
THE idea of a mall is ex-
cellent," he asserted. If you
could take about six or seven
blocks and fill the streets with
a mall that would be a sensible
thing to do"
I'm not afraid of change, A."

TALKING OF BUSINESS
Dodek Fears Threat to Downtown
In Code-Forced Building Chances
By WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star stan Writer

A leading Washington mer-
chant charged today that a
proposed District building code
threatens the future of the
downtown area.
Oscar I. Dodek, president Of
the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association, warned
members of that group that
full compliance with the pro-
posed code could cause the dis
location of many businesses"
He attacked a section of the
code he said would apply retro
actively to buildings three sto-
ries or more in height which
were built before 1946. The
code would require such install
lations as two interior stairs or
one interior set and a fire es-
cape or smokeproof tower in
almost all cases.
Charges Harassment
He denounced the retroactive
provision as unfair" and cha
RAISING" to downtown business
men.
IF they make people do these
things" Mr.. Dodek complained.
the whole downtown will be-
come unsightly."
Most downtown buildings he
said, were built before World
War II in full compliance with
District regulations. Many have
been remodeled since then with
the blessing of the authorities
Mr.. Dodek added.
Many of the buildings to-
which the retroactive clause
would apply, he said, do not
carry on business with the pub
lie above street level. Many
others are not accessible from
alleys, and fire escapes would
therefore have to be built over
the street.
Then we'd get into trouble
with the fine arts commission"
he said.
Sees Heavy Cost
The association warned it's
members last week end that
the code might cost them
thousands and thousands of
dollars"
"Of course" Mr.. Dodek said,
"the association will take an
extremely active part at the
public hearings and will Wig
orouSly oppose the impractical
and unnecessary requirements
of the proposed new. code"
"We just can't meet them"
he added. I'D practically go
out of business"
Mr.. Dodek is executive vice
president and general man.

was drawn up in compliance
with an Act of Congress in
1912. It enabled the Commits
sioners, Mr.. Ilgenfritz said, to
provide proper fire protection"
on buildings now existing and
hereinafter erected"
He said the District had tried
to draw up minimum but prac-
tical and reasonable regula-
tions."
A hearing on the matter is
scheduled in mid-June.
Fears Danger to Trend
ut couldn't have happened
at a worse time" Mr.. Dodek
declared. The trend of busi-
ness movement to the suburbs
has been reversed, and it's be-
ginning to go the other way.
Now they're proposing some
thing that will destroy that
business"
In other respects, however,
downtown merchants who have
held the line" against the
exodus of business to the sub
urbs are on the verge of new
success, he said.

distance of their work"

Few of the bidders at yester-
days auction of 1850 acres of
rolling farm land in Upper
Montgomery County seemed to
care much about the COWS, the
corn or what feed is being sold
for these days.
High bidders in almost all
cases we're spectators and de-
veloperS who indicated they
held a different view of the
lands potential.
The spectators and develop
ers had a hard time of it
though, because owners of the
seven LaytonSville farms up for
auction refused to sell all but
one because the prices they
were offered were not high
enough.
Bids ranging from $500 to
$640 per acre were turned down
by the owners, the heirs of the
late William H. FulkS.
Homes Planned
The one successful bidder
was Edward Mayne, an Olney
real estate man, who bought a
132-acre for S73,392, or roughly
$556 per acre.
The farm is located on Route
