FREEZING IS

Federal Reserve Board
Takes ACtion-New Move
in Defense Drive

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30 - ZAP =
The government cut down sharply
today on money available for pri-
vate loans and forged strong new
links for Harvesting the national
economy more firmly to the defense
line.
A Federal Reserve Board order
to it's 6,885 member banks called for
freezing $2,000,OO0,00O out of the
loan market.
The Board said it's action would
cut off a potential further increase
of SIP 1000 100000 in the already re-
cord-high volume of bank loans.
This is because banks could have
lent the billion dollars over and
over again.
The conomic Sterilization
Agency (ESA) announced that it
will open Is regional offices ito
handle price and wage problems" a
step apparently paving the way for
stricter controls expected later.
The National Production Author
ity (NPA) decreed that the US.
will take over immediately as sole
importer and distributor of natural
rubber. Since it already controls
synthetic production this move puts
the government in virtual control of
all rubber.
HOarding Forbidden
NPA announced this new move
last night only a few hours after it
had forbidden boarding of SIS essen
tial materials, including steel. lum-
Der and paper. An NPA spokesman
interpreted the latter ban to apply
to newsprint.
The Federal Reserve Boards
credit curb action was announced
last night after banks had closed.
Today the board called on industry
for a more rapid switchover from
civilian to defense production.
The Boards money freeze means
there will be less to lend to bust
ness firms, or to individuals who
want to buy houses, autos, televi-
sion sets, furniture. stock market
securities, or anything else.
There was nothing in the order
itself to raise interest rates for
those who manage to get loans.
Neither was there anything to pre-
vent banks from raising thosJ rates,
although of -cials did not 1pect a
rate rise.
