The American Gold Star Moth
Iers, Inc, filed a suit in District
Court yesterday to enjoin the Ma
tional Gold Star Mothers, Inc,
from using a name so similar to
it's own.
The action came on the eve of
the national observance of Gold
Star Mothers Day. with both or
ganiZations scheduled to hold
memorial services today at the
Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in
Arlington National Cemetery.
Members of the groups, both
national organizations, are moth
ers who have lost sons during

incorporated last March.
Americans" Oldest Group.
The American" group, an old
line organization chartered in
1929, contended in its suit that
use of the National" name in
solicitation and sponsorship of
activities had caused confusion
with itself. AS an example, it
cited today's ceremonies, con-
tending that both organizations
had invited many of the same
persons to participate. The ma
tional" ceremony will be at 1915
a m. and the American" at l pm.
Mrs. Eleanor D. Boyd, of Long
Beach, Calf, national president
of the American" group, said
many of the organizations $4,000
members have complained about
confusion resulting from the SINH
lar names.
I'm trying to hold the door
open with them (NationaD to
see if the better way isn't to join
the old-line organization" Mrs.
Boyd said.
I'm trying hard not to fight
with them" she added. But now
I have to legally"
Caught BY Surprise.
Plainly caught by surprise by
the court request, officials of the
National" group stoutly defended
use of their name. Just as stout
ly, they made plain they have no
intention of joining their sister
organization.
The National" president. Mrs.
Evangeline M. Trenchard, here
for today's ceremony, said she
likewise didn't want to fight
anyone"

zone of the best indications of
the excellent condition of farms
and ranches is the fact that farm
ers borrowed less from banks dur
ing 1949 than during 194S," says
w. T. Campbell, chairman Of the

Reporting on the results of the
ninth national survey of agricul-
tural lendings, Mr.. Campbell noted
that there was a decrease in both
the number Of new loans and the
total amount borrowed by Ameri-
can farmers. "This decline is par
ticularly healthy in view of the
present uncertainties and the slight
drop in farm income in 1919. 1t
shows that farmers and ranchers
are wisely avoiding excessive debt
and holding onto their reserves in
case of emergency. In addition, the
rapid rate of repayment on the
loans indicates the farmers deter
mfnation to keep the nations agri-
culture financially sound" conclud-
ed Mr.. Campbell.
