InstaI|ment Loans
Requiring Increased
Effort for Collection
BY the Associoted Press

NEW YORK, April 22.-Con-
sumers still have a good record
of paying up installment loans,
but it's taking more effort to
make collections, according to a
survey by the American Bankers
Association.
Paul Welch of Atlanta, chair
man of the ABA Installment
Credit Commission, said a survey
covering 300 banks showed there
has been little change in delin-
euency ratios during the past
year although more collection ef-
fort is necessary to keep these
favorable ratios"
"This should keep banks on
the alert to reappraise their cur
rent credit policies" said Mr..
WEIGH. I'm some areas and in
some classifications, there has
been a slight increase in delin-
quencies which may be occa-
stoned by local competitive con-
ditions and more lenient credit
terms; but the situation is by no
means disturbing"
Mr., Welch said the banks ag-
gregate of installment loans in
February was 81 billion, CON-
pared with $685. 100000, in
February, 1852. During the same
period, consumer installment
credit by all lenders went up
from approximately $13 billion to
almost SIT billion.
"The increase of about So bill
lion for commercial' banks is in
proportion to the overall increase
of about 81 billion for all lenders
when we consider that banks
hold 46 per cent of total con-
sumner installment loans, Mr..
Welch said.
The survey showed delinuuen-
cies higher than a year ago in
nome appliance loans, and direct
and indirect automobile loans,
and lower in personal, FHA Title
I, and property improvement
loans.

ber of individual issues.
Aluminium Ltd. was up a
major fraction. Western Union

volyed in a reported merger plan

Of the European defense treaty
to set up the six-nation army
that would include a half mil
lion German troops.
DR.. Adenauer has indicated he
would oppose firmly changes in
the treaty, which the United
States wants ratified this spring.
German officials have COM
planned that the French revis-
ions would give France a favored
position at the expense of Ger
many by permitting the French
to remove their troops from the
European army to French over
seas territories.
France has indicated that her
Parliament will not be likely to
ratify the treaty unless the pro-
tocols are adopted. Thus far,
none of the other European ma
tions have ratified the pact,
