Huge Savings To
Back Buying Of
Credit Goods

CHICAGO - u. S. families have
substantial nesteggs saved up to
support any future rise in time
buying, judging by latest reports
on personal savings, John E.
Murdock, president of the Ameri-
can Finance Conference, reports.
Economists generally are hoping
for an increase in installment buy
ing as a means of increasing pro-
duction and jobs, Murdoch says,
and the figures on savings show
consumers are in position to buy
more heavily on credit while keep
ing their personal savings as Sc
curity for emergencies.
Saving 7.7oS OF income
Consumers were saving at the
rate of 19 billion dollars annually
in the first quarter of 1854, which
represented TT per cent of dispos-
able income, according to the
latest figures released by the u.
S. Department of Commerce. Muir
dock explains this was slightly be-
low the rate of savings for the
fourth quarter of 1853 but corr
siderably over the rest of 1853.
Consumers ended that year with a
little over Is billion in net savings,
7.3 per cent of their disposable in
come.
. Highest Since War
The portion of their disposable
income they are saving at this
point also represents the highest
percentage since the end of World
War II when compared to annual
savings. In 1947 when durable
goods were generally available for
the first time in six years, con-
sumers we're saving only 2.3 per
cent of annual disposabIe income
although they still had savings &C.
cumulated during the wartime tc

back them up in any emergencies,
Murdock points out.
1T is a generally accepted
theory among business analysts
that consumers must increase
their installment buying if busi-
ness is to continue the slight up
ward rise that has been seen in
the past few weeks. The figures
on their savings show they are in
an ideal position to do so" Muir
dock says.
He points out that while dispos-
able income in the first quarter of
this year dropped slightly below
the last two quarters of 1853, con-
sumers are still receiving more
takehome pay than a year ago,
according to government surveys.
Madison County Democrat. (London, Ohio) 19??-1958, 1954-07-30

reported and government officials
at Washington have ordered an
other vote to be taken. Seventy
percent of the farmers who voted
in Union County voted against
controls.
It is believed that the 1855
wheat allotments which were sent
out about the middle of July pro-
voked unfavorable action since
many farmers who had a1lotments
of fifteen acres or more last year
were cut below that acreage for
the coming year.
In Canaan Township and the
northern part of Madison County
it was reported that the vote was
very slim one and there too,
the farmers were opposed to gov
ernment controls.

changes, if any, and any other
legislative suggestion which may
be made.
Clerks of Boards of Elections,
especially, have been invited to
meet with the committee. Board
members also are invited If they
wish to attend.
In addition to the session with
the Legislative Committee, the
election officials will also hear a
discussion of Char G e-backs" of
election expenses - the apportion-
ing of expenses to the various pol
itical subdivisions, a matter which
has needed some Qualification in a
number of counties.

Union Co. Farmers
Not In Favor OF
Crop Controls

In the nation wide poll last
week farmers approved the gov
ernment production controls only
by a slim margin. The eastern
and corn belt farmers definitely
voted to do away with controls,
but the western wheat state farm
ers and those of the deep South
voted overwhelmingly in favor of
strict controls and high price
support. Two thirds of the voting
farmers had to approve the con-
trolls before they could be put into
operation by the government.
About 70 percent of the nations
farmers who voted were in favor
of the II percent cut back in
acreage for 1855. The action now
guarantees them price supports to
be set some where between IS
and 90 percent of parity.
The majority of the Ohio farm
ers voted no on the issue last
Friday, and the light vote showed
that many farmers were too dis
gusted to go to the voting places
to cast an opinion. In Darby, Jer-
ONE and Millcreek townships
there were a total of IA who
voted. The vote stood at SO for
and 18 against. In seven town.
ships which voted at Marysville
with 252 eligible only SO voted.

Sister Denies
|Maxene Andrews
Tried Suicide

CHATSWORTH, Calf. R-Max-
enc Andrews of the singing An
drews Sisters, treated yesterday
for what police called an overdose
OF sleeping pills, took them acci-
dentally says her sister, LaVerne.
"Maxene loves life too much to
end it." said LaVerne, adding that
her sister was completely ex-
hausted" from recent tour
through Australia with LaVerne.
Neighbors quoted Maxene as say
ing she took the pills becase she
was despondent, police said.
"The housekeeper found her un-
conscious and rushed her to the
hospital and in the excitement said
Maxene must have taken IS pills, "
LaVerne explained. Later she
remembered there were only five
pills in the bottle"
The sister act split up last year.
Patty now is singing solo in Las
Vegas, New.
Last night Maxene had recovered
sufficiently to return home and
wrap Christmas packages.
