General Imports
Reach New Hiqh
BY the Associated Press

General imports into the United
States last January reached a
new high Of $1,l18.500,000 the
Commerce Department reported
today. That is SO million higher
than the previous record during
October. 1856.
The January. 1857. figure was
about 6 per cent higher than the
preceding month and about 4 per
cent higher than in January,
1856.
Higher imports Of vegetable
food products and beverages,
which rose from $212 to $263. S
million helped boost the Janu-
airy total over the December
figure. Other increases were re-
corded in imports of textile
flbers. manufactures and nom
metallic minerals.

Living in Debt Increases
AS American Way of Life

the hordes who added about $15
billion to the Nations outstand-
ing mortgage debt total last
year.
This way Of life is most preva-
lent among younger families and
among those with incomes in
the middle brackets.
The study group is the Stats
tical staff of the Federal Re-
serve Board which had been
asked to report on instalment
credit to President Eisenhower's
Council of Economic Advisers.
1t finds that buying goods and
services on the cuff and making
payments on a house over many
years has become widely re-
spectacle. especially since World
War II.
11ec Average
Families have been putting n
average Of ii per cent of their
spendable income into install
ment buying in the last two
years. the group reports. 1t
thinks this will gradually rise
to Is or IA per. cent by 1865.
Most families pay little atten-
ton to how much more this
costs them In interest rates and
carrying charges. The control
ling concern is how much the
monthly payments will be and
If the family income will cover
them.
For example, the average
monthly payment on new cars
has stayed around $50 in recent
years. The rise in total auto
financing has come, in addition
to the number sold. in the
lengthening of the period of pay
ment. This has let instalment
buyers take on higher-priced
models.
Finance companies and auto
makers keep a close watch on
the volume Of repayments. For
one thing. they want to see the
percentage of defaults-which
has stayed reassuringly low. But
mostly they figure that as the
final payments near, the mo-
torist becomes a prime candi-
date for a new car-and a fresh
load of monthly payments.
Arguments Offered
Arguments pro and con on
consumer credit are a dime a
dozen. But the chief one used
by the advocates of an expand
ing economy is that only by in
stalment credit can industry
reach the maximum consumer
market. They say this has
spanked the Nations great in
dustrial growth and improved
the general standard of living.
Those of a worrying frame of
mind, many with memories of
past economic busts when mort
cages on homes and farms were
foreclosed. cars and appliances
'repossessed. sometimes fret about
the record total of debt now.
They ask what will happen to
the growing number of families
who budget much of their ex-
pectable income on the basis Of
future monthly payments. II a
business slump should mean lay
offs. short work weeks and thus
shrunken or disappearing in
comes.
The study group doesn't see
that likely again. And most OBJ
servers feel that signs of so deep
a recession aren't sighted yet on
the business horizon.

Eastman Asked
10 Aid in Trial
BY the Associated Press

Federal Judge Luther w
Youngdahl today asked Senator
Eastland. Democrat of Missis-
sippi, to appear as a witness in
the contempt of Congress trial
of Seymour Peck, New York
Inewspaperman.
Judge Youngdahl ruled that
Senator Eastland's testimony is
material"
The question whether the Sem
ator actually will appear re-
NAMED unanswered, however
Defense lawyers asked for his
testimony.
Assistant United States Attor-
ney William Hitz told Judge
Youngdahl he will advise Sem
ator Eastland of the ruling. But,
Mr.. Hitz said. he feels he will
be able to convince the judge
that such narrow issue" is
involved that the court can de-
eide the case without Senator
Eastland's testimony.
Has Immunity
A member of Congress cannot
be required to respond to q sub
poena while Congress is in ses-
sion.
Mr.. Peck's attorneys, Joseph
A. Fenelli and Telford Taylor
said they wanted to question the
Senator as to the nature and
scope of the inquiry which re-
suited in Mr.. Peck being called
as a witness before the Senate
Internal Security Subcommittee
in January. 1856.
Judge Youngdahl remarked
that he is seriously troubled by
some of the issues involved here :"
and said Senator Eastland's ap-
pearance as a witness would be
helpful and beneficial"
Language Changed
Later he changed this to say
1t would be material"
Mr.. Fenelli commended the real
purpose of the inquiry was to
find out whether news stories
were "slanted."
Mr.. Hitz said the purpose of
the inquiry was to locate Com
muniStS and rout them out re-
CARELESS Of where they may be
found"
Mr.. Peck. deskman on the
Sunday magazine of the New
York Times, was indicted for
refusing to name former Com
munist associates on the New
York Star. now defunct.

about United States promises to

to have said no commitments
had been made beyond express

Senator Sparkman contended.
however. that this country has
moral obligation to back Is
rael's claim.
There is an obligation on our
part to do everything we can to
make certain that navigation
through the gulf is not inter-
fered with" he said. II think
we have got to press in the
U N. to make certain that every
effort is made TO straighten this
matter out"
Senator Fulbright of Arkansas
reported. meanwhile, that Mr..
Dulles had confirmed what was
obvious from the communique
issued after his 2-hour talk with
Mrs. Meir. No new assurances
had been given, the Secretary
told Senators.
Mrs Meir apparently got no
more satisfaction in her talk last
night with Mr.. Hammarskjold in
New York.
