lCurbs on Charge Accounts
Being Considered by Officials

The Federal Reserve Board is
studying whether to extend ex-
isting credit curbs to charge ac-
counts. but at this time has nc
plans to tighten the curbs on in
Stallment buying, it was learned
today.
Secretary of Commerce Sawyer
said yesterday that in his opinion
credit should be tightened in
every way possible to fight inf1a-
ton and that consumer credit
should be restricted further.
1T is hard to overestimate the
peril facing US if we cannot keep
the inf1ationary spiral under con-
trol," he said. He added that
current restrictions on credit have
not yet had any marked effect.
Buying Rush Subsidies.
A Federal Reserve Board Off
cial. discussing the consumer
credit curbs, said it was felt that
the fever had gone out of the
buying rush.
January figures on consumer
credit for the end of January
(the latest availablel show
slight drop from the totals from
the end of December. But this
is generally seasonal trend.
The January decline, a Slight
one, was the first recorded since
February, 1850. After that tie
trend was upward and became
steeply upward after the out
break of war in Korea.
Charge accounts, however,
showed an increase in January.
which was counter to the trend
of a year before.
Total consumer credit out
standing at the end of January
was $l9.9 billion as compared
with $40 billion at the end of
December. In January, 1850, the
total was $16.3 against $16.8 for
the month before.
Automobile sale credit was 81
billion in January against SAL
billion in December and $3.1 bill
lion in January. 1850. Other in
stallment credit and loans totaled
S9.2 billion in January, which
compares with $9.3 billion in De-
cember and SIS billion in Janu-
airy, 1850.
Charge Accounts Rise.
Charge accounts amounted to
S4.23 billion in January. In De-
cember the total was S4.22 billion
and in January, 1850, it was S3.5
billion.
Some officials have urged curbs
on charge accounts as completing
the purpose of Regulation w,
which regulates installment buy
ing. They have pointed to the
possibility of unscrupulous retail
erS evading the installment curbs
by making lenient private agree
mentS to sell by charge account
on time basis.
The charge account regulation
OF World War II called for settle
ment of bills by the 10th day of
! the second month after the month
of purchase. Otherwise the store
was permitted to allow no more
charge account purchases until
the bill had been paid.
| Retailers-particularly in in
stallment selling-already are ex-
pecting higher excise taxes to curb
sales. Business since January /
Evening star., 1951-03-16

was described as not bad. but
harder to get. One retailer said
more taxes would make selling
high-priced goods trough" and
sitter curbs on installment buy
ing would be murder"

Light Support Blocks
General Market Drop;
Changes Held 10 81
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 14.-Scat-
tered buying support blocked a
general retreat today in the stock
market. Prices headed lower
from the opening but quickly
steadied and regained a sub
stantial portion of the loss.
Gains and losses ranged around
a point either way, but the minus
signs held the edge and depressed
the market on average.
The radio-television division die
better than the market as whole
and showed generous plus signs
all the way through. Some of the
motors and Steels worked theil
way upward as did a few of the
air lines and rails.
A lot of the individual strength
came from corporate announce
ments. The Milwaukee road kept
ahead on the announcement of a
81 dividend on common out o1
1850 earnings. An initial dividend
OF 81 was paid last December out
Of earnings prior to 1850.
Motorola continued up today or
its earnings report showing profits
equal to $14.56 share for 1850
as against Sc share the previous
year.
CeloteX gained on the earnings
report for the quarter ended Jan
uary 81 equal to 95 cents a share
compared with 20 cents the yeal
before.
Government bonds were steady
in the over-the-counter market
after yesterdays sharp fall below

sion in 1850, including the COM

turbo generator at the new Po-
tomac River plant.
Pepco's net income dipped
slightly in 1850, despite a 5.8 per
cent increase in revenues. Net
available for common stock barely
covered dividend requirements of
80 cents a share.
Mr.. Neal reported that 2,308. 800
common shares, or 54 per cent of

1850, and a new all-time high for
that month.
