Prince Georges was back in the
hands of the club members yes
terday, the day after the conclu-
sion of the $4,000 Washington
Star Open. Sam Snead and the
pros who trailed him in the 72-
hole medal-play tournament were
en- route to Reading, or already
there, ready for another four-day
siege for another SIS, 900 purse.
Snead's 16-under-par shotmak-

 GUT BAG
 ON BUYING
Big Drop in loans Also Ciied-Cauiion Is Rat
 ed as Health"

WASHINGTON, April l.-tH- Merchants. taking a cue from their oustemegs, are going ligst on buy ing.
 Very conservative inventory and erying policies7 were cited by gov 1rnment officials today as the chist cause of a drop ia business loans since Christmas. This drop has cutdene anything of the aort in previous rost-war' years.
 These loans are used in large part to finance purchases of stock3 of goods. Officials said merchants not only have cut back buying for inventory-lest they get caught in a phase of declining prices-but also have been paying off old loans as fast as possible.
 The business loans drop. as mea- Surei in Federal Reserve Board re- rorss rom member banks in the naticns leading cities. has run un- krcken for the last ten years. It carried the volume Of business loans down s570.c3o.00o from an unusual cailing-in of loans ty the eoard.
 Buying caution by merchants was rated healthy sign. The official position is that the country would be better off is businessmen guard against building up big in~ Yentories. such heavy stocks or goods might later have to be dumped in forced selling, something that has aceenuated trouble in the past boom and bust cycles.
