Insta!|ment Credit Hits
$7,74S,00o,000 High
by the Associoted Press

Installment credit increased $30.-
100000 in October to a new record
high of s7,748,0O0,000, the Federal
Reserve Board reported last night.
The increase. however, was the
smallest one for any month since
the war.
That could have reflected the in
auence of credit controls-in effect
throughout October for the first
time in IL months-or a showdown
in consumer buying.
Even for automobiles, there was
slower rate of growth than in re-
cent months, although the total vol
ume of this credit increased $39,-
900 900 to a total of 1897 900 900.
| Credit for installment buying of
such other controlled items as re-
frigerators, furniture, radios and
washing machines increased $6,000,-
900 to total of 81 ,s22 900 900.
The volume of credit in the form
of installment loans, also subject tc
credit controls when used for buying
conr oiled articles, declined Sl5,000,'
900 to total of $3,929 ,000, 900.
A $3.50 900 900 gain in charge ac'
counts. however, sent the total vol

to a new record high of $15,039 ,000,'

dent Truman and Secretary of State
Marshall here for the last two weeks

proval both for the policies he has
been following and for those con-
templated.
Asked about the extent to which
Marshall Plan goods are being di-
verted illegally to Eastern Europe.
Mr.. Hartman. comparing this sort
of "bootlegging" to traffic viola
ton, said Il don't see any signs
in Europe of people going through a
red light that should worry us.

which I'VE approve" He added that

Trade Uncertainties
.Curtai| Buying Of
Consumer Goods
By }. B. WoIIoeh
North American Newspo Der Alliance

NEW YORK, Dev. 2-Until con-
sumer demand is more clearly de-
fined there is a growing disposition
on the part Of consumer-goods pro-
ducers and distributors to work
down inventories. Both also are
limiting their future commitments
and covering only their near-future
needs.
Consistent with this policy is an
increasing tendency to step up pro-
motional activities in order to facili-
tate an orderly liquidation of stocks
and thereby clear the way for any
price adjustments that may even
tuate next year.
These measures are largely pre-
cautionary, however, because all in
dications are of an inf1ationary
nature. Disappointing retail trade
has caused some goods to back up
on manufacturers and result in off,
price jobbing. But insignificant
quantities thus far have been in
volved.
1t will be recalled that this won't
be the first time that buyers back
tracked in anticipation Of price re-
visions, only to discover when they
returned to market that wishful
thinking hadn't reduced either
manufacturing costs or wholesale
quotations.
If trade history again repeats It
self. consumer-goods industries
once more will find themselves short
of goods at time when an upturn
in sales has placed a premium on
available supply. Consequent short
ages. as in the past, would tend to
supoort prevailing price levels,
1t has been pointed out that the
administrations indicated program
for continuing prosperity Is dis
tinctly inf1ationary in character al.
though its avowed purpose is con.
trary. Price control can compe
businesses to suspend operation.
rather than sell under costs.
In that eventuality, few marginal
firms would survive and competi-
ton would slacken.
Disposal of inventories Is under
standable under present ~circum-
stances. Reasonable gross margins
still are obtainable and require
only aggressive selling efforts to be
realized. Stocks subsequently will
be replaced on the basis of future
demand
1t is futile to look for price de-
1ation at time when the admin
istartion is bent upon applying re.
newed inflationary pressures. Dol.
lars cannot be endowed with greater
purchasing power until they are en-
abled to produce more goods a
lower cost.

Trustees Of Oak Hill
Ready TO Close Sale
To 7. n. De Lashmutt

Trustees for Oak Hill, the vir-
ginia estate of President James
Monroe, prepared today to close its
sale to Thomas N. De Lashmutt,
former Arlington builder.
Mr.. De Lashmutt offered a high
bid of $220,OO0 for the Loudoun
County property at an auction sale
September 2, but Federal Court
authorized a 90-day waiting period
in which the previous owner could
reclaim it.
The owner, Frank C.. Littleton,
failed to raise the amount needed
by the deadline yesterday, despite
numerous reports that he hoped to
do so.
Sees Prompt Execution.
Edwin E. Garrett, Leesburg at
torney and one of two trustees for
the property, said the title would
be executed promptly and Mr.. De
Lashmutt would be called on to pay
the $220,00O.
The mansion and 1,725-acre estate
were ordered sold by Federal Court
to settle claims against Mr.. Little
ton. These were reported to total
approximately 100000.
A lawyer interested in the trans
action said many propositions had
been submitted for ownership of Oak
Hill and added there had been much
activity at Leesburg over its trans
fer.
Preservation Move Fails.
Mr.. Littleton sought but was
denied an RFC loan to preserve the
property. The new National Coun-
Gil for Historic Sites and Buildings
had been working on plan to take
over the estate but. lacking funds,
was unable to perfect 1t.
Mr.. De Lashmutt, who now lives
at Evergreen Farm. Haymarket, Va,
announced at the time of the auc-
tion that he proposed to farm some
of the land
He said that with the passing of
the property to him he planned i'm
provements but that he won't touch
it until spring.
