televised press conference last
night against what he said ZAP
pears to be a threat Of uni
lateral Intervention" in the
Congo.
His warning obviously was
aimed at Moscow. although he
did not single out Russia by
name as he read q carefully
prepared statement stressing
that there should be no mis-
understanding" Of the United
States position.
Sharp Conflict
Mr.. Kennedy forcefully stated
the American position in q way
that underlined sharp conflicts
with major points in Q Soviet
statement Tuesday. These
conflicts include:
/. The President said the
United States will continue to
support the United Nations
presence in the Congo" Rus.
sia demanded withdrawal Of
U. N. forces within q month.
2. Mr.. Kennedy reaffirmed
that the United States recog-
nizeS President Kasavubu's
government as the only legal
authority entitled to speak for
the Congo as a whole" Mos
COW has recognized Antoine
Gizenga, pro- Communist dep
uty to slain former Premier
Patrice Lumumba, as the act
ing Premier Of "the legitimate
government Of the Congo"
The President left no doubt
about the target Of his warm
ing against unilateral inter-
vention in the Congo by casting
1t in language strikingly sim
liar to parts Of the Moscow
statement appearing to threat
en- Intervention.
Cites u. N. Duty
II would conceive 1t to be
the duty Of the United States
and, indeed, all members of
the United Nations" Mr.. Ken
nedy said, Ito defend the
Charter Of the United Nations
by opposing any attempt by
any government to intervene
unilaterally in the Congo"
The Moscow statement Tues
day, noting an appeal from
Mr.. Gizenga for assistance,
said:
THE Soviet government con-
siders that the rendering of
such assistance is the sacred
duty of all freedom-loving
states. For its part it is
ready to render all possible as
sistance and support :"
While carefully avoiding de-
filming exactly how the United
States would oppose such in
tervention, the Presidents
statement seemed to imply that
il Russia sent armed forces to
support the Gizenga group,
American troops would be used
to support the U. N.
No Meeting Planned
At the same time, Mr.. Ken
nedy kept the door open to
conciliation. He expressed
hope for improved Soviet
American relations so ut will be
possible for us to cooperate in
peaceful ventures rather than

Space Tells Story

Just how much greater spectrum of goods and
services be concentrated into the citys core is
expressed in terms of floor space. According to Mel
vim F. Levine chief panner for the National Capital
Downtown Committee it's estimated there are 66
million square feet of retail floor space now avail
able downtown. BY contrast. the Wheaton Plaza Re-
gional Shopping Center, occupying 80 acres and one
of the largest such centerS in the Nation has about
IL million square feet of floor space, according to
Mr. Levine. ~
Suburban centerS fulfill general shopping needs"
he notes. "Bu the typical suburban center can only

town is at the center of population area
and it's stores the greatest range of color style
sizes and so on in merchandise"
The other extreme is the specialized shop, so
narrowly focused that it sells to perhaps every Tooth
person. Such store needs to be at the heart of
2-milion-market to find its customers And retailing
experts forecast these stores will multiply here Just
they have along New York'S Lexington

Increased specialization by stores and greater
depth" in goods: these two aspects OF retailing
that promise to loom more prominently in downtown
stores of the future.
For the shopper according to planners, this will
mean trips into Washington to find those articles
unobtainabe suburban centers or to find broader
range of choice not available elsewhere.
An example may be found in one OF the largest
of Washington's department stores decade ago
it sent no more than four buyers abroad each

it dispatches Is year to Europe alone, in response

Views of ShooDers

Whv do shoppers come downtown from the sub
rrbs to buv and browse? On-the-spot interviews bv
Star reporter with store customers recently elected
answers partly based on logic partly on emotion
"Tt oves a sense ot adventure I don't get in
sh"nniro center" Virginia housewife said
"We women often tslk about how easy it is to
shop in pedal pushers and so on near our homes"
she added "But every now and then want to get
dressed up and go somewhere special. I don't have
anv concrete reason. It's Just emotional feeling
about coming down to the bio stores"
number of shoppers bore out the view of
planning experts-that the huge inventory of goods
in central stores acts like magnet exurbanites
"The other dav read an ad about a display of
artificial flowers at one downtown store" Silver
Spring (Md) matron explained. "You won't believe
it, but I've spent five hours here friend and I
decided as long we had made the trip, we'd explore
every floor"
Downtown is nice for specific items where you
want to big selection another echoed "I think
it will attract people in the future If it continues to
offer so many things" Al
And still another comment: IT find the stores
along street more plentiful, and they have things
there that you just can't find in any suburban place."
To be sure, the rivalry from the suburbs worries
central Washington merchants No serious study can
ignore the changes in buying habits, in population
distribution, and in traffic But competition planners
stress, does not mean only one of the two areas will
survive
None of the consumer -oriented enterprises in
the suburbs spell the doom of the central city,"
declared Gordon Kennedy, research director for the
Washington Board of Trades Economic Development
Committee. +
by definition the central city fulfills functions
which cannot be done elsewhere because it's at
point geographically closest to consumers"

North Building, Eleventh and G streets
Though department stores exert by far the
greatest pull on customers-a recent Downtown Prog
ress study showed SO per cent of all people who came
into town to shop went to department stores-the
small speciality store also seeks this central location
Consider, for example, AnselIs Pipe and Tobacco
Shop at 708 Eleventh street NV. For 20 years the
owner Israel Milton Ansel, operated on Fourteenth
street But 1860 he had chance to move to fringe
area when the building housing his business was

Next to the Cuban affair, the most
conversation on main street Montana
at the moment is the staggering add
ton to their cost of doing business
that will be the result of the Mon
tana Power gas rate increase. After
the corporation-motiva political
campaign about the ingredients that
make up a better business climate,
main street Montana is shocked at
the thought of added cost of heating
with gas; about the federal tax on
this increase. that will go to Wash
ington, D. c.; about the money it
will take out of local cash registers
into the Golfers in other parts of the
nation; of the added cost of operat-
ing state government, schools, court
houses, city halls, etc.
\ u
The Public Service Commission
hired an expert in the last rate in
crease request by the Telephone
Company-then ignored him-but the
precedent is there for hiring another
one this time.
But even more effective would be
for the people of Montana themselves
to let the Public Service Commission
know how they feel about the lousy
increase; because unfortunately, and
not a little shamefully, rate increases
are notably political rather than fac
tual decisions. y
The utilities spend thousands and
thousands of dollars in the political
arena electing their own people to
public office; they spend your money
and my money to beat us down on
the political level, and keep coming
back for more of our dollars SO they
can do a better job against us another
time.

Of the legislature nearly died of bore
dom they had things so easy.
Whether they are going to continue
20 pull the wool over the eyes of main
street is a good question. If main
street is independent in their think
ng, the power company could be
facing their own pitard.
Then there are the politicians who |
vhooped it up across the state about |

Where are they now? The added cost
to operating government from the
school district through city hall to
the State Capitol is involved in this
thing. .
The move that would add a first
note of sincerity to the better bust
ness climate canard would be for
the Governor to go to the Board
of Examiners and instigate action
against this increase because of the
added taxes it will take, if not for
the added cost of doing business on
main street or any other street.
The business mans political Bible,
the MONTANA CITIZEN, in it's hat
est issue damned everything in sight
except the proposed rate in

For whom, we might ask.
The Montana Power Company
isn't as sure of itself as it has been
in the past over the acceptance of
the general public to their gouge.
Evidence the promises they are MAX
ing in several areas of the state to
neutralize opposition.
This. to me, is cheap tactic. The
publicity given the promise of taking
gas into the town of Boulder is per-
haps the most revolving, because it
puts Commissioner Smith in a miser-
able spot.

nessman weeps over the cost of do
ing business and grabs the corpora

And the corporate glee of the utili-

patton of how long they can wait be-
fore they can do it again.
To make fools of SO many people

could only provide satisfaction to
he body without a soul--which is
what we have in the corporate struc-
,ure that comprises the private utili-
