Dodek Urges
Speeding Plan
For Downtown

A call for action in revitaliz-
ing downtown Washington was
made today by oscar L. Dodek,
president of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association.
He declared businessmen
would like to see immediate
action on the terminal square
project. This would provide a
central bus passenger transfer
point In the heart Of downtown
by erecting a terminal for Vir-
ginia. Maryland and District
buses.
This would speed up trans
portation and aid In creating
better business conditions, he
believes. Other cities are plan
ming similar downtown prof.
ects and Washington should
be on the move, in Mr.. Dodek' S
opinion. An area bounded by
Eighth and Tenth streets, E
street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. has been considered.
The president of the bust
ness mems group would also
like to see closer cooperation
between all Washington busi-
nessmen and a businessman as
District Commissioner. if a
change is to be made at the
District Building. MIR. Dodek
is executive vice president of
the D. ]. Kaufman Mems Wear
Stores, Inc.
Completion Of the slum clear
ance program and construc-
tion Of the freeway plans to
provide easy access to down.
town are also on Mr.. Dodek s
agenda.
A speeding up OF many
pending projects which will
greatly aid the Washington
business men and push ahead
even further the rehabilitation
Of downtown is Mr.. Dodek' s
aim for 1861.
Every effort should be made
rapidly to accelerate the free
way system and to provide easy
access to the heart Of our city
so that shoppers and workers
can arrive in the business dis
trict in the shortest possible
time" he declared.
I'VE have many fine projects
under way. but I honestly feel
that the time for decision is
now.
Business men would like to
see some action on the Term
inal Square matter. which has
been under study for quite
some time, and there are many
other important committees
and groups who should spur
their efforts for quick fulfill
ment Of their purposes.
This is not to infer that
there has been inaction, as
quite a few projects have been
completed and many excellent
programs are now in full force. ="
Mr.. Dodek believes that
swifter clearance Of slum areas,
which have been in the
planning stage. should take
place.
