In the auto field some auto
dealers, the Associated Press re-
ported, say they already have
lowered the amount they have been
paying for the new used" cars and
late models in anticipation that the
new credit terms will make them
harder to sell.
The squeeze, in the car field. is
expected to be felt most by families
with incomes up to $4,000 or even
more.
Needs Fourth of Income.
With half the Nations families
having incomes under $4,000. the
number of them squeezed cut OF
the market could run to millions.
For cars costing $1,000, which is
the low price field today, the re-
quired terms would run $500 dowr
and roughly $50 a month FOL
10 months.
The monthly payments alone
would take one-fourth the monthly
income of a $3,840-a-year family
while operating would swell the
expense further.
The down payment could come
out of savings, still plentiful ano
distributed. Those with an ole

Penal Institutions Hit
By Rising Food Costs

The high cost of food is hitting
the penal institutions of the Dis
trict, according to Donald Glenn
mer. director of the Department OF
Corrections and he plans to ask the
Commissioners for relief.
Not only is food costing more, Mr..
Clemmer said, but the populations
of the institutions are increasing
aid for the first quarter of this
fiscal year a deficiency Of about
$4,000 is expected.
In addition to two meatless days
the inmates of the District Jail,
Workhouse and Reformatory are
being served a budget balancing
meal once a week. This consists
of soup and crackers and nothing
else. 1t Is usually served as Sunday
supper.
During the last fiscal year, Mr..
Clemmer said, the department had
aheen able to hold the per capita
cost to Al cents a day, but in the
first two months of this fiscal year
1t has risen to over So cents day.
Moreover, the director said, the
crops of vegetables grown on the
institutions farm were poor this
season.

Bureau Reports Decline
In District Birth Rate

In the first So weeks of this year
there were l,780 fewer white babies
born in the District than in the
same period last year, while l34
more colored babies were born in
that period, the Bureau OF Vital
Statistics of the Health Department
reported yesterday. =.
In the first nine months OF this
year, there were 1882 births re-
corded in the District. OF these,
l2.803 were white and 5,929 were
colored. In the same period last
wear there were 20.378 births re-
corded here. of which 1883 were
white and 5,795 were colored.
Oficials here attributed the de-
cline in births to the fact that many
workers left the city after being
dropped from Governpent rolls.

Beginning tomorrow, 1t will take a
copper cent down payment to pur-
chase such household equipment as
refrigerators, radios and furniture,
while one-third down will be re-
quired to buy an automobile.
The new credit rules for consum-
ers, announced month ago, were
set by the Federal Reserve Board
under authority granted by the spe-
cial session of Congress.
Up to yesterday, many stores were
offering household appliances for as
little as 10 per cent down although
auto dealers have for the most part
required at least a third down.
The new regulation may put the
skids under premium prices for new
used" cars. Finance men in the
industry expect that by forcing
higher down payments and monthly
instalments in some cases the move
will put late models beyond the
reach of many families.
Balance in Is Months.
These are the new rules;
On all purchases of $50 and up to
S. 900, one-third down payment on
new and used cars. Within the
same limits. 20 per cent down on
Irefrigerators, ranges. washers, iron
ers, radios, monographs and COM
binationS of home appliances, fur
uiture and home furnishings.
Where the balance after the down
payment is $1,000 or less. it must
be paid off in Is months. If the
balance is over $1,000, it may be
spread over Is months.
The new restrictions from the
Reserve Boards new Regulation w
During the war the old Regulation
w required a third down on all the
items except furniture which re-
quired 20 per cent down. The board
has the authority to set the exact
down payment required and to en-
force it through discount of COM
mercial paper at its member banks
Credit Men Satisfied.
Not affected are normal depart
ment store charge accounts, it was
pointed out last night by John K
Althaus. secretary of The Credit
Bureau, Inc. of Washington.
Mr.. Althaus said:
Actually, the new regulation is
designed to require customers to
do just what we've been preaching
they should do for years-'Pay your
accounts as agreed, but buy only
what you can afford and don't be
fooled into thinking the ability to
say charge it. increases your ability
to pay. Credit is no substitute for

panies.
2. The backlog of orders on hand
now is big enough to absorb all the
new cars that can be turned out IN
the next two years-at which time
the credit controls are scheduled to
expire.
Nobody knew how many OF these
orders were placed by persons want
ing a new car not to keep but to
resell at the profit afforded while
new used cars bring premiums OF
$500 to $4,000 above listed prices
for new ones.
Here's why the most vulnerable"
rating was given to used cars now
selling at prices carrying a premium
over the average retail value as
signed them in officially designated
price appraisal guides:
The credit regulations require that
the down payment cover not only
one-third of the average retail
value" listed in the guides but also
the entire amount of premium rep
resented in the sales price.
How 1t Operates.
For example. take a car selling at
s2.40O when its listed value in the
guide is $1,000. The down payment
would have to be 81 S1.200-one-third
of the guide value. or 5000, plus the
entire premium of $500.

now are under way for additional

build it to level above food waters.
Around the Memorial Grounds,
only temporary work Is done now
to readjust the sinking roadways,
walks and steps.

ing of piles to give surrounding

School Officials
May Ask City 10
Collect Tuition
Plan Would Simplify
Tusk With Students
From Nearby Areas

District school officials are plan
ming to ask the Commissioners to
take over the job of sending tuition
bills to students from nearby coun-
ties who attend schools here.
In past years, the school business
administration Office billed the nom
resident students and also acted as
a collecting agent for the District
Collector of Taxes. Under the pro-
posed plan, a list of pupils owing
tuition would be sent to the Com
missioners and it would be up to
them to bill the parents and collect
the amount due.
In the event a bill were not paid,
the. Commissioners would notify
school officials who would then Sls-
pend the student under the pro-
posal.
Plan Being Drawn Up.
The plan, plus new tuition rates
for nonresident students, is being
drawn up by group of school Of
ficials headed by Adelbert w. Helm
miller, who Is in charge OF the busi-
ness administration Office at Frank
lin Administration Building. 1t will
be submitted at the Board of Edu-
cations next meeting for approval
of the board.
Indications are that the plan will
be approved as the board members
have had their hands full of nom
resident tuition problems up to this
year and would like to simplify the
procedure as much as possible. 1t
is also believed that the Commits
sioners will agree to the plan.
Mr.. Heinmiller said the school Of
ficials would like to get out of the
collecting end of the tuition matter.
Previously, the law governing non
resident tuition was so complicated
that it was not practical to turn 1t
over to the Commissioners, he said.
Simpler This Year.
But this year it is much simpler
and is entirely feasible, he added.
This year, all students from out
side of Washington who attend
school here must pay tuition.
Such was not the case in past
years where various exceptions were
made for sons and daughter of per-
sons working here but living in the
counties, for sons and daughters
of persons who owned businesses
here but lived elsewhere and for a
number of other reasons.
Last year, Congress adopted legis-
lation requiring all to pay
During the first week of school
this fall, approximately 1,600 nom
resident students started back to
District schools. Last year there
we're more than 4,400 in Washing
ton schools.
No indication was given ss to
whether the new tuition rates would
be higher or lower than last school
term. They are drawn up at the
opening of each year and are based
on the actual cost of educating the
student here.
The tuition fees paid in do not go
to the school budget, but are placed
In a general District fund and must
be reappropriated back by Congress.
