Consideration of a lower maximum credit allowance for underage GIs. (Though Albert maintains that under present policy no one is allowed credit for more than one month's take-home pay.) Albert also indicated that he would follow through with the agreed-upon points despite the breakdown in negotiations.

"I'm still willing to negotiate with anybody that's reasonable," he said. Both Rice and Albert reported that after last week's discussion they felt they had reached a significant agree-ment, with Rice stating, "Some of us feel that this thing can be worked out." Other members, of the group, however, felt differently, and pushed for a reso lution of the price issue before they would stop demonstrating. While the picketers presented a list of com-p a a i prices showing Brown's and Howard's to be significantly higher on some items than a number of downtown clothing stores, Albert admitted his prices were generally higher, but stated that much of the difference is due to the increased overhead caused by the magnitude of his credit operation. He said that he had offered to allow a 20 per cent discount on cash sales, but that the demonstrators had rejected the offer when they found that cash sales account for only five per cent of the two stores' volume. "They wanted me to cut all my prices 20 per cent," he said, "and I told them there was no way to do it unless they guarantee the accounts," adding that both stores commonly lose "quite a bit" on bad debts.

"I honestly feel like I've bent over backwards," he said, stating his belief that some of the demands are unreasonable. "They want me to cut my prices to the same as those charged by people selling for cash," he noted, adding that the group's comparative shopping did not compare his stores with "comparable" stores doing the same amount of credit business. ft No Bids Heard On Half Block In Downtown 3 Tne Newport News Redevelopment and Housing Authority (NNRHA) has received no proposals yet on its bid for a developer for a half -block parcel of Downtown Renewal ec 3, according to NNHRHA Assistant Director W. C. Phillips Jr.

The search for a developer for the parcel, which lies on the east side of Washington Avenue between 27th and 28th Streets, was turned over to local realtors several weeks ago in a move to permit the real estate agents to seek out a purchaser willing to develop the tract according to guidelines. Phillips said, however, the Housing Authority has had "some interest" from local realtors who would, like the opportunity to sell the property, to a developer. According to Phillips, the Housing Authority can go ahead with plans when it gets a proposal from an interested developer "depending on the caliber of the proposal." The parcel, a foot site adjacent to the pro-posd superblock, is designated for office and retail use. It us one of three parcels in Downtown 3, includiiig the superblock, and a piece on Washington Avenue where the old Daily Press building stands. Ship Services To Mideastern Gulfs Started Monthly service between east and Gulf Coast ports and the Arabic and Persian Gulf started from Newport News during the weekend.

First of four ships scheduled to make the monthly voyage, the motor vessel Al Omariah owned by the Kuwait Shipping loaded more than 6,000 air conditioners. The Russian-built Al Omariah cruises at speeds of about 18 knots and displaces approximately 13,000 tons. A spokesman for Thompson-Respress agents for the line here, said Newport News will be the primary port of call for the four vessels in the Port of Hampton Roads. By WAYNE BOWMAN Military Reporter A group of Ft. Eustis soldiers resumed picketing of two clothing stores immediately outside the post Monday night, after negotiations with the stores' manager broke down in a dispute over prices.

A discussion last week between Stanley Albert, general manager for both Brown's and Howard's clothing stores, and two representatives of the picketing group had reached a number of points of agreement on demands presented by the GIs, who have been picketing and calling for a boycott of the two stores sporadically for the past two months, assisted by a number of students from William and Mary. Other members of the group, however, rejected the settlement calling on Albert to reduce prices to "acceptable" levels before they would call off the boycott. When the manager refused to meet their demands Monday night, the group resumed picketing, calling out to prospective customers "Don't go in there; it's a rip-off!" In his negotiations last week with Ft. Eustis soldiers Karl M. Rice and A.

J. Kelly, Albert said he had agreed to the following points: No further use of Army authorities at Ft. Eustis for the collection of overdue accounts. Price tags to be put on all merchandise in the stores and on all items in show windows (this was being done at the time of the discussion, he said). Elimination of the practice of giving free merchandise to men who induced their friends to shop at the two stores, as soon as another equally effective means of advertising could be found.

Cash refunds or credit to a man's account on defec-tive merchandise returned within six months. Refunds on any unaltered, unused, saleable item if returned within 72 hours. (The stores had pre- Langley Hosts National Prayer Breakfast Today The Rev. Cotesworth P.

Social Services Getting More 'Elbow Room' The Newport News Department of Social Services is gradually getting some elbow room, as space vacated by the Health Department is being readied. Carpentry and plastering in the 26th Street building, shared by the welfare and health departments before the health department's shift to its new headquarters next to Riverside Hospital, has already been completed. Painting is underway as the final step to renovating the vacated clinics and laboratories to make office space. According to Selma Arner, director of the welfare department, the biggest move is scheduled for Thursday when the Family Service Unit "if nothing happens," will be moved into the 26th St. building.

The unit had been working out of the Carpenter building on West Avenue because of the cramped, shared facilities in the 26th Street quarters. Some parts of the welfare operation have already moved into their expanded space as the rooms are painted. The expanded room will not, however, be adequate to house all the departments under one roof. The Child Welfare Unit will remain in the Carpenter building. WILLIAMSBURG Dr.
