BUTTERWORTH HIT RETAILING “WASTE” Washington C. of C. Has Rep- resentative Merchants of City as Guests. ‘The inefficient retailer causes billions of dollars of waste through ignorance and the employment of old-fashioned methods, William Butterworth, presi- dent_of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, declared in an ad- dress last night at the December meet- |ing of the local Chamber of Commerce |in the Mayflower Hotel. One of the features of the meeting was the presence as guests of & humber !of representative retail merchants of | the District, who were introduced by David A. Skinner, secretary of the United States Chamber of Commeorce, another speaker. Charles W. Darr, president, also | spoke briefly on the retail trade organ- izations here and introduced Maj. Gen. Anton Stephan, president of the Mer- chants and Manufacturers' Association, whom he invited to the platform. Announcement was made that the Amateur Athletic Union had accepted the invitation of the local chamber to hold its 1930 conyention in Washing- ton. The chamber indorsed the com- munity Christmas tree celebration, Merchants Who Were Present. Among the retail merchants intro- duced by Mr. Skinner were: T. C. Dulin of Dulin & Martin, A. Abbott of Goldenberg’s department. store, C. B.| Dulcan of Hecht Co., Harry King of | Lansburgh and Charles A. Goldsmith of | B. Moses & Son. R. E. Buckley, A. C. Case and W. F. Hisey of Palais Roy: M. G. Gibbs of Peoples Drug Store: Isaac Gans of Saks & Co.. Edward Yonker of the Sanitary Grocery Co., S. W. Zink general superintendent in the District of the Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co. and Simon Nye of 8. Kann's Sons. Emphasizing the importance to the Nation of solving the retailer's problems in his speech Mr. Butterworth said: “The retailer is the key man, the sentry who guards the strategic bridge over which merchandise flows from the pro- cer who maintains the steady progress of “During the last two or three years surveys and studies of a local and gen- era] nature have been made of the re- tail trade field. From these surveys and investigations we are learning that ail is not well in the retailer’s household. Notable among these studies was the distribution census in 11 representative cities of the country and the grocery survey conducted in Louisville, Ky. Co- incident with the first findings of the Louisville survey was the Department of Commerce’s startling estimate that the waste in distribution amounts to the amazing figure of $11,000,000,000. Cites Reasons for Loss. “From the minute investigations of the Louisville survey we find that a gen- erous proportion of the loss in distribu- tion results from a lack of understand- ing of primary and fundamental busi- ness rules. Bluntly, the truth is that in Louisville there are too many retailers who do not have the slightest knowledge of business procedure, and who, conse- quently, have no claim to the privilege of classification as a unit in the eco- nomic mechanism which is business America. This truth, unpleasant as it is tragic, may well apply to Washington or any other city. 3 “A survey by the University of Buf- falo shows that only 5 men of each 100 who start in this business in any one year will be in business 10 years later,” the speaker sald, “It is the purpose of the national chamber, the central organization of the Federated Business Men of Amer- ica, to inform as many retailers as pos- sible and to ald in transforming the rekeeper into a mer- chant. Such task as this no one It requires the assistance of trade sociations and chambers of commerce everywhere,” Mr. Butterworth said, adding: ¥ “The challenge of newer competition must be met by the small retailer with that effective old-fashioned remedy which President Hoover last Thursday recommenged to the National Business Survey Conference — the old-fashioned remedy of hard work.” Skinner Lauds Capital Progress. Although agreeing with Mr. Butter- worth that retail trade offers a prob- lem worthy of deep consideration, Mr. Skinner held that the trade conditions here are bright and the merchants of Washington are to be congratulated on the progress made in the development of the National Capital as a retail center. “During the past few years the re- tail trade facilities of Washington have been improved and extended to an amazing degree,” Mr. Skinner declared. “Washington's mercantile establish- ments have kept up with the procession in quality merchandising. They dis- play goods of high quality at moderate The selection made available fo the buyer is equal to that in almost any shopping center of high quality in the Nation. “The trade area of the retail mer- Our merchants are successfully compet- ing not only with the mail order house, but with merchants in neighboring communities. In many instances they ice to the consumers.” Mr. Skinner said Washington's prosperity was due in great degree to its peculiar situation. The merchants fluctuating pay rolls, he declared. Then again, he asserted, retail trade in creasing number of tourists who visit the city annually. One of the District’s most urgent needs, the Commerce Secretary de- clared, is an efficient convention bureau. He urged the merchants and business men to organize such s bureau, which, he said, would not cost in excess of o TARDIEU ABANDONS BUDGET ATTEMPTS Bill to Postpone Opening of Fiscal Year to April 1 Is Introduced in Chamber. PARIS, December 11.—The Tardieu government, abandoning its attempt to put the budget through Parliament be- fore December 31, yesterday introduced into the chamber a bill postponing the opening of the official fiscal year from January 1 until April 1. This creates a precedent for which French government finance officiale have been working since 1910, and by establishing it the conservative Tardieu government has made one of the most radical changes in French fiscal policy in a century, BLAST TIES UP TUBES.

Charles Stelzle Is Asked to Leave Place on Film Board. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, December 11.—The New York Herald-Tribune says today that William C. Redfield, former Sec- retary of Commerce, has resigned the chairmanship of the motion picture commission of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America. He resigned, the Herald-Tribune says, after learning that the commis- sion had been organized by Rev. Charles Stelzle, a Presbyterian clergy- man _and publicity representative for the Council of Churches, at the sug-| gestion of Will Hays, president of tne | Motion Picture Producers and Dis- | tributors of America. | The Federal Council of Churches de- | cided at an executive meeting in Chi- cago last week to dispense with the services of Mr. Stelzle as publicity man at the end of this month, and also re- quested him to resign from the motion picture commission, The commission was organized with 55 members last June. The announce- ment sald its object was to fill * long-existent need for suppl&lot educa- tional information concerning helpfui motion_pictures.” Mr. Redfield, who is an Episcopalian layman of Brooklyn, said his reason for resigning was that he “did not want to go on with the work.” WILLIAM C. REDFIELD. —Harris-Ewing Photo. The attention of the Federal Council of Churches was drawn to the connec- tion between Mr. Stelzle and Mr. Hays by an editorial in the Churchman, an Episcopal perlodical, criticizing Mr. Stelzle for being in the pay of both Mr. Hays' organization and the Fea- eral Council of Churches. Charges have been made, the Herald- Tribune says, that Mr. Hays was seek- ing to control the sentiment of the churches through the commission or- ganized by Mr. Stelzle. TRIAL OF OILLEASE. CASE NEARING END Defense in Doheny-Elk Hills| Suit Expects to Be Through Today or Tomorrow. By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, December 11.—With the announcement of defense attorneys that the presentation of their testimony probably would be completed today or tomorrow, indications are that the Gov- ernment’s suit against Edward L. Doheny and the Pan-American Petrole- um Co. for the cancellation of valuable EIk Hills, Calif., naval reserve ol leases will close by the end of this week. Federal Judge Frank Norcross of Nevada, who is hearing the case with- out a jury, has announced plans to re- turn to his home bench by Monday. Deposition Introduced. A deposition by H. Foster Bain, former chief of the United States Bu- reau of Mines, was introduced by the defense yesterday in an effort to show that the leasing in 1921 of 660 acres of the Kern County reserve to the Doheny interests by Albert B. Fall, then Sec- retary of the Interior, was legitimate. In his deposition Bain said he often had pointed out to Secretary Fall and others the necessity of drilling certain offset wells in the res:lrve to protect the Government's inteyests. Bain said Doheny _had protested against high royalties on certain other leases and the department felt he “had something coming” to him. For this reason, he said, the leases now in con- troversy were awarded without competi- tive bidding. Seeking Cancellation. The Government is seeking cancella- tion of the leases, contending they were awarded (hrough eanspiracy between Doheny and Fall after che Jate Presi- dent Warren G. Harding had trans- ferred control of naval oil reserves from the Navy to the Interior Depart- ment. A $100,000 bribe Fall recently was convicted of accepting from Do- heny also is cited as involved in the leasing. E. E. Klipstein, Bakersfleld, Calif,, oil operator, testified that mining claims for fuller's earth, a clay used in beau- tifier compounds, returned to the Gov- ernment by Doheny as part considera- tion for the leases, really were valuable, He said the claims were filed in 1910 with the intention of development. The Government contends the claims were filed in order to forestall oil develop- ment, and that the amount of fuller's earth on the properties was too small for commercial development. Defense attorneys indicated that Do- heny, who has been subpoenaed as a witness, may not be called. They sald much of the testimony he was expected to give has been covered.

BOWIE STEPS OUT AS COMMISSIONER Woman Appointed Successor to Prince Georges County Official. By a Btaff Correspondent of The Star. UPPER MARLBORO, Md., December 11.—Brice Bowie, Prince Georges Coun- | ty” Commissioner, has resigned, and a woman, the first to sit on the county board, has been named to succeed him. No reason has been given by Mr. Bowie | for his action. He conducts a clothing | store in Washington. Bowie's resignation was sent to Gov. Albert C. Ritchie, and the Democratic State_central committee recommended that Mrs. Mary W. Browning of River- dale, & member of the committee, be appointed.
