Prime Loan Rate
Is Reduced by Banks

NEW YORK. Mar. 18.-Bor-
rowing costs were sliced a quar-
ter of one per cent yesterday,
cut which will save both small
and big business many millions
of dollars.
Guaranty Trust Co. here ini-
tiated the move by lowering it's
prime" loan rate from ga to
3 per cent. Today. commercial
banks across the country were
following suit to meet compe-
tition.
The prime" rate is the mini
mum interest charge at which
a bank lends money to custom
ers with the highest credit stand
ings. However. there is custom
arily a proportionate decrease
IN interest rates to all business
borrowers of lesser standing.
Underlying the interest reduc-
tlons is the decline in business
borrowing which has many bank
ers worried. The Federal Reserve
reports that business loans at
member banks for the week
ended March 10 amounted to
$22.475,000,000. This is 1894. :
100000 less than at the same
time a year ago. Bankers hope
That the new and lower rates
Will stimulate borrowing.

Rev. Vernon E. Carter, a Bos-

this program with a dynamic
and enthusiastic congregation.
Though the church is small in
number at the present time,
Rev. Carter foretellS that such
a program now being planned
will increase the membership
as leaves breaking forth from
a tree at Springtime. At pres
ent he is seeking men and wo-
men who have leadership abili-
ty, musical talent, and gospel
groups trying to do missionary
work in the community to help
in laying the ground work of
this church. Already Mr.. Luther
Allen has been selected to man
age the work of drum and
bugle cadet group. Miss Nancy
Norwood has been selected to
organize a girl scout troop, and
Mr.. Edward Williams for the
boy scouts. A committee on pub
lie and Group Relations has
been selected and will have a
special meeting this Saturday
at 4 p. m. with DR.. Howard
Thurman, Dean of Chapel and
professor of Religion at Boston
University School of Theology.
This meeting with DR.. Thur
man will be held at one of the
lounges in the Daniel Marsh
Chapel at the University for
the purpose of getting a clear

on the inter racial aspect of
the Christian churches as the

proach. The scouts. cadets, and
other religious educational pro-
grams are expected to be in
filtrated with white, colored and
any other races. Although the
word Methodist is in its name
the church will not emphasize
denominations. The Church will
incorporate certain Methodist
rituals and SacramentS but is
not a part of any organized
Methodist movements. It is sole

does not look to any higher
