100 Housewives

Inc customer can feel more
secure because the battle with
the INSCRIPTIONS operator has
been joined. Throughout the
nation, aroused housewives are
united with Government in q
massive counterattack on de-
ceptive practices.
The following story may
show you how you can do a
tremendous amount to help
safeguard yourself and your
neighbors against the racke-
teers.
Within a few weeks after the
establishment Of the Bureau
Of Consumer Frauds and Pro-
lection in my office-perhaps
the first Of its kind in any
State-housewives enlisted in
an all-out war against fraud.
Today, a committee of 100
housewives, with representa-
tiveS in every one of New York
States 81 counties, functions
as the "eyes and ears" of the
bureau.
Is an outmoded refrigerator
or one with rebuilt parts labeled
as new" being sold? Is a
salesman, dealer or merchant
misrepresenting merchandise?
Preventive Action
The members of the COM
mittee of 100 housewives chan
mel the information to us for
investigation and action. That
is preventive" action of the
highest order.
In addition, the committee
all members serve without pay
carries on a consumer-educa-
ton program.
The housewives are backed
up by an Advisory Board on
Consumer Problems which
helps US draft measures to pro-
tect the consumer and legiti-
mate businessman. The board
comprises representatives of
business. labor, industry, wom-
ems clubs. Better Business Bu-
reaus, ira de organizations,
newspapers and financial insti-
tutions.
The attorneys general in
many other states have created
similar watchdog consumer
units.
On the national scene, the
frauds section Of the United
States Attorney Generals Of
flce. the Postal Inspection Serv-
ice and the Federal Trade Com
mission are intensifying their
endless war against frauds.
The National Association of
Attorneys General has named
me to head a committee on the
problem of consumer frauds
and protection.

Seen Despite
Rise in Costs

Associated Press Business Writer

Associated Press Business Writer
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Cash
registers tangled a happy cli-
max to q sensational Christmas
buying season this week but
there were two discordant notes
on the business scene.
Merchants have been toe
busy to tote up the exact total
Of yule sales but all indica-
tions are that the record 1855
buying spree was exceeded.
On the darker side, consum-
ers took another kick in the
pocketbook from the cost oi
living, and hopes for a volun-
tary settlement Of the steel dis
pute grew DINNER.
The extent of holiday shop
ping was indicated by two sur
veys. Dun & Bradstreet report
ed that dollar volume of over
all retail trade this week was
up l to 5 per cent over a year
ago. The trade newspaper
Women's Wear, said depart
ment and speciality stores
raised their sales for the sea-
son by 3 per cent.
The toy manufacturers said
their sales will top 1858 by Is
to 20 per cent and exceed the
record set in 1857.
Living costs, the Department
of Labor reported, climbed to q
new high in November. This
was the sixth new record in
seven months.

Associated Press Financial Writer
NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-In
light pre- Christmas trading,
the stock market declined this
week for the first time in five
weeks.
The trend was confused most
Of the time as -end tran
sactions continued to create
cross currents. Volume declined
progressively from Monday to
Christmas eve.
The Associated Press average
of so stocks fell $l.30 to 1928.
The Dow-Jones industrial aver
age declined $5.96, closing at
67O.69.
The initial news that the
steel companies had agreed to
company-b -by-company talks to
end the strike was rather bull
ish but a second thought by
Wall Street was not tinged
with enthusiasm. Steelmaking
stocks lost ground.
Aside from the steel strike
situation, the overall news was
good. Christmas business was
booming. Leaders of the biggest
companies had glowing fore
casts for the coming year or so
Tax-losS selling, switching
relnvestment and portfolio
changes of the big institutions,
however, robbed the market of
trend.
The five most active issues
this week on the New York
Stock Exchange were: Hupp
Corp, up Ia at 91s on $40, 200
shares; Standard Oil New Jer-
Sey). of "a at 472s; Universal

The Justice Department is
considering a conference OF
Federal, State and local law en-
forcement agencies to plan es-
tablishment of such a national
clearing house of information.
Function Explained
The agency would function in
a manner similar to the FBl
which documents the identity

siers on those guilty Of ques-
tionable practices and frauds.
The battle against deceptive

has now been Joined on the
local, State and national levels
Buying Guide for Consum-
ers: Don't accept an oral agree
ment. Get it in writing. Make
sure you understand what the
agreement says and that il
protects you fully. Be sure that
installations of appliances and
such furnishings as carpeting
are guaranteed by a dealer, be-
cause a manufacturer can claim
that a products warranty has
been voided if it has not been
installed properly.
Don't be misled by the dealer
who lures you to his establish
ment with an attractive adver-
tisement of a standard brand
item and then tries to talk you
into a higher priced off f-brand
article. Beware of the story
that he is all out of the adver-
tised item, or that there will
be a long wait for delivery, or
that what he now is trying to
sell you is better than the ad-
vertised article.

more for the year ending June
80, and the probability Of q
small deficit in 1860.
The debt ceiling requires
some action In the next so days
because the temporary IS bill
lion increase voted last year
also expires June 80. On that
date the limit would go back to
the permanent ceiling Of $3.50
billion.
The administration In Janu-
airy asked that this Congress
raise the permanent limit to
S285 billion. plus another tenn
porary increase for the coming
year.
Mr.. Mills and Senator Byrd
both said they will have to be
convinced at public hearings
that the permanent ceiling
should be raised, But there is
little doubt that both Houses
viii grant another temporary
increase.
These tax and debt limit ex-
tensions will be needed regard
less Of whether this session Of
Congress increases the Presi-
dents 1860 spending program.
1860 Balance Hopes Dim
Even without the increases
Congress currently is consider
ing for housing, airports and
other domestic purposes, Mr..
Eisenhower's hope for a ball
anced 1860 budget seem to have
disappeared. One primary rea-
son is that Congress is showing
no inclination to raise gasoline
taxes and postal rates, which
the President counted on to
achieve the SIT billion balanced
budget he submitted.
Senator Symington, Demo-
crat of Missouri, charged last
night the Republicans are try.
ing to put the -onus" Of deficit
financing on the Democratic
Congress.
He said the deficits in pros
pect for 1859 and 1860 came
about, mot because Democrats
invested money to make the
country grow, but because Re-
publican cutbacks caused our
revenues to shrink"
