InstaIlment Credit
Washington Post)

The Federal Reserve Boards relaxation of install ment credit controls indicates that unlike spokesmen for the Administration it is fearful of business recession than of continued inflaton It is. however an open question whether nstalment credit regua- tons have been an important factor in slowing down sales of durable goods Certainly they have not been responsible for declines in production and sales textiles leather goods other products subject to control
 The main reason for the weaknesses that have industries is that supplies have become abundant and backlog demands have been satisfied, with the n- evtable result that sales either decline have to be stimulated by price reductions easier terms of payment. Incidentally the growth of consumer debt
 that the boards regulations intended to curb has itself been factor in reducing current demands for goods Existing controls have not prevented, though they undoubtedly have retarded steady expansion of installment credit which reached record level of 82 billion dollars at the end of 1948 subsequent slight decline of 145 million dollars, partly seasonal occurred the following month, coincident with fur ther slight increase in automobile instf iment sales credit.
 On the face of the record. therefore charges that nstallment credit cbs have had seriously restrain ing effect on sales appear to be unfounded Under the circumstances it is doubtful whether the easing of controls will have very pronounced effect in ex banding sales However timing is important factor in determining the efficacy of controls and it may be that relaxation of installment sales regulations coming at time when consumer incomes still high though nfationary forces subsiding will have a disproportionaely stimulating stabizing effect on buying.

TAFT AND NEW DEAL

Probably more than anyone else, Sen. Robert Taft of Ohio is the personificstion of the Republican Party. Therefore, when he called for a broader social program in an off ff-the-cuif speech the other day, it had the effect of shifting the COP cornerstone a few points to the left
 Taft's statement was delivered be- hind closed doors and was meant cnly for the ears of Republican Senators. Part of what he said has alreaay leaked to the press, but for the first time here is the full story of what happened.
 The stage was set for Taft's re- marks by his Ohio colleague, Sen. John BrIcker, who called for a tightening of the economic belt and a return to the standards of Re- publican thrift.
 Bricker's preaching was chiefly aimed against public housing, and in favor of his neat strategry to kill public housing by tacking an anti segregation amendment on the bill. This would drag civil rights into the housing fight and split the Democratic Party right down the Mason Dixon line Bricker suggest ed limiting debate on the anti segregation amendment by two thirds cloture and, for political req sons, divorcing the arguments from the public housing issue.
