COLLECTION GAINS
Credit Sales and Total VOL
umes Also Well Above
Year Ago.
By tie Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, April 15-Tne National
Retail Credit Association said today
1926 retail stores in 40 cities reported
increases in March, as compared with
March, 1896, averaging So per cent in
collections, 1873 per cent in credit sales
and 1874 per cent in total sales.
Thirty-four cities reported increases
IN collections, two reported no change
and four had decreases, according to
the monthly analysis The greatest
increase was 32.5 per cent at Pampa,
Tex. the greatest decrease S per cent
at Reading, Pa.
No cities reported decreases in credit
sales, although five of the 40 recorded
no change. The greatest increase was
40 per cent at Charleston, w. Va.
Thirty-six cities reported increases
in total sales, Charleston leading with
48 per cent. Three cities had no
change, and one, Vancouver. Wash,

The association attributed the gen.
eral increases to higher wages, an early
Easter, intensive collection efforts by
merchants, higher prices for farm
products and the extra business day in
March this year. Strikes, however,
tended to slow collections and credit
sales in some sections of the country,
the report added.

the House floor by Representative
Fritz Lanham Cd. of Texas,
chairman of the House Commit

Grounds. The measure, which
already has been approved by the
Senate, will carry amendments
believed to be noncontroversial
when it is brought up in the
House.
Commission Enlarged
AS approved by the Senate the
bill provided a commission COM
posed of the Secretary of In
terror and the chairmen of the
House and Senate committees on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
AS reported to the House by
Mr.. Lanham's committee the
ranking minority members of the
House and Senate Public Build
ings and Grounds Committees
are added to the tcommission.
1t is believed the amendments
will be speedily accepted by the
Senate.
Senator Joseph, T. Robinson,
Cd Arkansas, author of the reSo-
luton, said today that he had no
objection to the increase on the
commission and no opposition is
expected to the move when the
bill comes back to the Senate
for concurrence.
Expected to Pass
1t is expected that the resolu-
tion will be brought up in the
House within the next few days
and passed without much debate.
Representative Lanham explained
to his committee yesterday at the
public hearing. where the bill was
reported favorably, that the meas
ure simply authorizes the commits
sion to investigate the auditorium
proposition and report back to Con-
greSs. No authorization is included
for a site nor any appropriation
to begin work.
These propositions will have to
be worked out in the form of ad-
ditional legislation after the COM
mission makes its report.
