Another department official, Will

that controls over the use of trans

beyond their February % expiration

He said this is necessary because
railroads now are operating with the

In urging extension of export pow

an American note protesting
charges made during the recent
treason trial Of former Premier
Juliu Manu- that United States otfi-
cials plotted to overthrow the Buch-
Arrest government.
The American note said the
charges were based on political
motivation and insincerity.
The Romanian reply signed by
Foreign Minister Anna Pauker and
delivered to American Minister Ru-
dolf Schoenfeld, said the truth OF
the accusations made at the trial
against American officials was
clearly obvious from the state

Federal Reserve Asks
Permanent Authority
To Control Credit
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

The Federal Reserve Board today
asked Congress for permanent au-
thority to regulate consumer in
stallment buying.
r. M. Evans, a member OF the
Board Of Governors, told the Sen
ate Banking Committee that If
Congress Is not disposed to enact
permanent legislation, power for the
necessary restraint" should be set
up for at least three years.
Mr.. Evans outlined views Of the
reserve system in connection with
one phase Of President Truman's
cost-of Living program-the section
dealing with restoration of consum-
er credit controls.
THE need for regulation is acute
at the present time, but the need is
not merely . temporary one Mr..
Evans said.
Experience has shown that ex-
cessive expansion and subsequent
contraction of consumer installment
credit contributes substantially to
economic instability"
Favors Former Restrictions.
Mr.. Evans asked for control legis-
lation which he said would be in
much the same form" as consumer
credit restrictions which expired
November l. They permitted the
reserve banks to Ak the amount of
down payment in buying on the in
stallment plan, and the period over
which the debt must be paid up.
Mr.. Evans said, however, that
controls should apply not alone to
/ installment buying OF so-called
durable goods-such as automobiles
washing machines and refrigera-
tors-but to "installment credit for
other consumer purposes" He did
not elaborate.
Before the hearing the American
Bankers Association criticized resto-
ration Of controls over installment
buying. The association last night
made public testimony prepared for
submission to the committee by
Kenton r. Cravens of st. Louis.

buying" Mr.. Cravens' text said,
"but from the vast purchasing
power in the hands Of the public
generated by the wartime fiscal
practices of the Government and
continued excessive spending by
Government"
The ABA was emphatic in its OBJ
jections to credit curbs, Mr.. Cravens
said:
The association does not believe
that consumer credit constitutes a
critical area in the imitation pattern
nor does it believe that reimposition
of consumer credit controls will act
as a significant deterrent to the in
f1ationary forces presently at work
Savings in Danger.
Consumer credit is an alterna-
tive to the dissipation of the saw
ings of the public to the extent
that it is used by people who woulc
otherwise redeem their war bond!
or use savings deposits in banks
borrow against their savings ane
loan shares, or life insurance poll
cies, etc., to secure cash with which
to buy goods.
Consumer credits are repaid in
relatively short time, and may pro-
vide the necessary stopgap to fore
stall the liquidation of savings de-
posits or war bonds"
