SET October and
10-Month Records
By Edword e. Stone

Bank clearlngS IN the Capital dur
ing october and the first 10 months
of this year broke all previous rec
ords for both periods, George M.
Bright, clearing house manager, an
nounced today.
In climbing to the highest mark
for any month in any year, can
celled checks reached 1921 ,480, ,024,
as compared with $297 1882 ,096 in
October, 1916, gain of $24,097, ,928.
The month was only the second on
record when clearing has crossed
the s300,000,000 figure, the other
being September.
Clearings in the 10 months
amounted to S2,820,20941 against
S2.575 ,290,770 in the same months
last year, an increase of $244 ,918,6 SAT
so far this year.
Bankers said today that price in
creases are an important reason for
the impressive clearings rise. Checks
for necessities are the largest they
have ever been.
Tax payments, general business
activity, high retail sales and the
cashing Of bonds by veterans were
other factors in the high check
totals, financiers asserted.
Loans Increase Sharply.
F. Wilson Camp, secretary of the
District Building and Loan League,
reported at the annual meeting that
total loans by the 27 associations in
the past II months were IN excess of
S130,000,00O representing nearly 49,
900 individual transactions.
OF the total amount, about $780,
100000 went into the financing of
5000 new structures, alleviating the
existing housing shortage to that
extent. The average loan in 1912
was $1,000 ard by 1947 it had ad-
vanced to $685., Mr. Camp said.
Building and loan interest and
dividend rates remained substan-
TALLY at the levels of recent years.
Five percent is the going rate for
average loans with Az and Az %
available on better-than-aver
security.
Dividend rates range from 29o to
4Fc, majority OF the aSSoclatlollS
paying the average of 80.
Outlay of s749,ooo Voted.
Directors of the Chesapeake Il
Potomac Telephone Co. has ap-
proved expenditures of s749,000 for
telephone Improvements in the Dis
trict, bringing the total outlay voted
this year to SIS ,909,0 900.
The major portion of the amount,
s671 300, will be used for installa-
ton in various Offices to permit
operator dialing on long-distance
calls. The company has $4,000 900
expansion program in the Washing
ton area.
Starting on December l, the In
dustrial Bank of Washington will
distribute 100000 to 5000 Christmas
Savings Club members. second
largest amount in IL years.
One hundred sixty-seven United
States life insurance companies, rep
resenting 96 per cent of total life
insurance owned, intend to adopt the
new C. S. o. mortality table, ap-
proved in the past two years by the
state legislatures, the Institute OF
Life Insurance reports. One hundred
fifty-one of these expect to have
completed the change by the end OF
the year.

Easier Credit Terms
Expected as Controls
Expire Tomorrow
BY the Associated Press

Easier terms for many INSTALL
ment buyers are expected as con-
trols over consumer credit fol-
low price ceilings of the statute
books at midnight tomorrow
night.
The amount of down payments
and the number of months to pay
will be strictly up to the seller for
the first time in more than six
years.
Some confusion prevailed at first
over the precise timing Of the ex-
piration of the control because OF
uncertainty over the meaning Of the
congressional resolution calling for
their end after November l."
Federal Reserve officials first said
that the resolution thus set mid
night tonight as the deadline. After
consultation, in the light of diff
ferent interpretations by Federal
Reserve banks, they said midnight
tomorrow would be the final official
position.
The expiring controls require
in general one-thGd down and full
payment within is months for
automobiles, radios. refrigerators.
washing machines and other major
household appliances.
Effect to Be Watched.
What sellers and lenders do with
their new freedom will be watched
closely by officials here who, from
President Truman on down. have
expressed fear of fuel being added
to the flames of imitation.
There is wide speculation that
the President may ask Congress
to revive credit controls when it
meets November II on his call to
combat high prices and consider
aid to Europe
But many officials expressed belief
that controls will not be restored
unless easy terms promote buy
ing spree.
Warnings against sharp relaxa-
ton of terms over expansion OF
credit have been sounded not only
by Mr.. Truman and the Federal Re-
serve Board, but also by private
associations.
Bankers Propose Minimum.
The American Bankers Associa- =
ton has suggested that terms be held
to this minimum:
! On new cars, one-third down and
"a months to pay: on 1916 or later
used models, one-third down and 18
months; on older models, 40 per cent
and Is months: on refrigerators, 20
per cent and So months, and on ra-
dios and Photographs, rs per cent
and Is months.
Some, Federal officials expressed
apprehension that ending of con-
trols might put q prop under high
prices by causing sellers and lenders
to put more emphasis on "painless"
terms than on lower prices to keep
sales rolling when signs of slacken-
ing appear.
The volume of installment credit,
bounding up at rate of $170, 0,000, 900
a month throughout the last year
despite the controls and the short
age of goods they affect, has passed
the $4,000, ,0000 900 mark and is near
ing the $4,000, ,0o0, 900 peak set in
l941. ~ -
