WINGS & WHEELS
By CHARLES YARBROUGH

A man who probably knows
more than anyone on the prob
lens (and the courage) involved
in putting a new brand automo-
bile into the cut-throat Ameri-
can market. was in town to talk
about it last week.
At times. Richard E. Krafve,
general manager of Ford's new
Edsel division, made the whole
thing sound as simple as buying
a shirt.
Carefully skirting any styl-
ing, performance and price
comment on the new medium
priced" car due this fall as a
1858 model. Mr.. Krafve said the
then-unnamed Edsel probably
would have been brought out in
1850 had it not been for the
Korean war;"
On budget control. he told of
the early planning which pro-
duced a tentative decision on
what was needed in this car
and how much it would cost.
I'VE find right now that after
all of it. we are IS over the
budget The way to attain this
is to stand back and reason that
If something doesn't contribute
to the performance, the>appear-
ance and the safety of the car,
then throw it out"
Four of the cars have been
produced - hand made. The
well-founded rumor was out that
1t will come in four series and
ID models.
Mr.. Krafve's appearance in
Washington was the second in
as many weeks by upper echelon
motor industry officials, neither
of whom had any comment
whatsoever on the obvious in
crease in the numbers of smaller,
imported automobiles.

Utilities Needs Expected
To Boost 1857 Financing

A survey by the Securities and
Exchange Commission indicates
that manufacturing corporations
and public utilities plan to OBJ
tain around $8.4 billion through
securities markets or bank loans
in 1857, compared with $7.9 bill
lion last year. The two industries
accounted for almost three fifths
Of all 1856 flotations.
The survey indicated new
financing will include $50 bill
lion of bonds and notes, SIT bill
lion of equity financing and STA
billion of bank loans. In 1856 the
figures were: S4.8 billion, $l.4
billion and SIG billion respec-
lively.
New financing by manufac-
turers is expected to drop to SAP
billion. compared with SIS billion
In 1856. Utilities financing may
amount to as much as SAL bill
lion, a rise of about As per cent
from 1856.

YOUR

through anything as massive as
this-and incidentally. volume
six is still to come.
Rather. if you were staring at
these books as l am now. you
probably would echo the cry of
anguish of the Washington news
papermen when they learned
there wasn't even summary of
the report available.
OF course. the Reserve Boards
research division - headed by
Ralph A. Young-would empha-
size that even if the staff wanted
to make recommendations, it
shouldn't.
Comprehensive Study
But I have a strong suspicion
that just by presenting so COM
prehensive and searching" a
study. Mr.. Young and his staff
have done much to squelch any
case for a return to installment
buying controls at any time in
the foreseeable future.
The report, for instance. in
cludes so dizzying an array of
against direct curbs
over installment credit that
many congressman surely would
hesitate to approve the move
barring an emergency.
And the staff carefully points
out that the only experience this
country has had with installment
credit controls. has been under
war emergency or unusual post
war conditions; there has been
no experience with such regula-
ton under what might be called
normal peacetime conditions.
The report concludes that the
increase in inStallment credit
in the future is likely TO be at a
slower pace than in past years
and an increase Of s to 6 per
cent a year is a logical pro-
lection.
From this. it is not hard to
reach a decision that if thepace
OF the rise is moderating by It
self, we need not slap on any
detested Government regulations
to force moderation.

Last week to my desk in New
York came a cardboard box from
the Federal Reserve Board in
Washington. When / opened it.
l found five paper-bound vol
umes standing four inches high.
weighing about four pounds and

And each one Of those pages

For this is the monumental
study Of installment buying
which President Eisenhower di-
rected his Economic Council to
request from the Federal Reserve
Board on February IS, 1856. On
the basis Of this report. the Pres
ident figured he could decide
whether or not his administra-
ton should sponsor a return to
direct controls over our buying

So what recommendations has
the Federal Reserve Boards re-
search staff come up with as a
result Of its staggeringly detailed
study?
1t hasn't come up with any.
