This reflects a new attitude

horrible, space planners are
coming to regard 1t as just an
other one Of many risks. In

MANDATORY TRANSFERS
The Air Force has issued Its
new regulations providing for
widespread mobility Of ats civil-
ian employees from one locale
to another. This column last
August disclosed the Air Force
was drafting such regulations.
The reassiRnment system will
be on a voluntary basis as much
as possible, but Air Force off,
cials concede that some Of the
reassignments from one locale
TO another will be on a man
datory basis.
The new system has brought
sharp protests from the Amer
lean Federation Of Government
Employees, which charges that
1t violates the rights Of Air
Force civilian employees and is
another step In a move TO mil
itarize" civilians. The AFGE
contends that the new policy
will work severe hardshlps on
civilian career employees and
their families, since inadequate
relocation allowances are pro-
vided; will increase defense
manpower costs. lower civilian
morale and reduce work pro-
ductivity and operating eff

Banks and SGLs Here
Are Closed for Today
By DONALD B. HADLEY
Star Financial Editor

All District banks and saw
ings and loan associations were
closed today in observance of
the Presidents proclamation of
a national day of mourning. 1t
took the entire week end, how
ever, to reach a decision.
District savings and loan
firms waited to see what banks
would do. They did not want
to close unless the banks did.
However, arguments piled up as
to whether the banks could
legally close. The savings and
loan organizations finally de-
cided a little before noon yes
terday that they would close.
The bankers reached the
same decision about 6 pm.
after a 48-hour debate and two
statements from the Controller
of the Currency, who has juris-
diction over them.
There still is much doubt
among the bankers that Dis
trict banks can legally close ex-
cept by joint resolution of the
two houses of Congress.
Under Federal banking laws
a bank cannot refuse to honor
the terms of a legal instrument
except on a legal holiday. A
bank is required to be open for
all regular business days and
cannot close except on a legal
holiday as provided by law. To
do otherwise. a bank faces the
risk of substantial damage

There is no fixed guide to how
consumers and businessmen will
feel and act.
The general expectation, how
ever, is that after the first
shock the consumer will 60 on
with his spending plans, and
that business will 60 ahead
with its production schedules
and planning for mOdernization
and future expansion.
Only an unexpected change
in the policies Of the new ad-
miniStration and the attitude
of the Congress, or in the trade
and political policies of other
nations, could upset the basic
strength of the economy, in
the view Of those economists
who have spoken out so far.
mat Strength Is mqueS1oned
today.
Consumers enjoy the highest
total tof personal income on rec
ord. More Americans than ever
before have jobs, despite the
stubborn core Of jObleSs.
Industrial production in re-
cent weeks has risen to a record
high. Manufacturers report an
increasing flow Of new orders,
assuring busy production lines
in coming weeks and months.
AS a result, perhaps, they have
boosted the total Of money ear
marked for new plants and
equipment.
The money markets have been
firm. The available supply Of
investment funds has kept long
term interest rates stable and
encouraged strength in the con-
struction industry.

first day of business since Pres

In Tokyo, President K enne E.

a1fectlng business, industry and
finance.
This is the hopeful expecta-
ton of almost all business lead
ers and economists who have
assessed the long-rm conse-
quenceS Of the assassination.
They feel that confidence-at
both consumer and business
levels-wid prove strong after
the initial period of shock and
bewilderment.
Gyrations in stock and COM
modify markets are expected
for a time. They customarily re-
act dramatically to any shock,
particularly to any news that
involves Short-term uncertain
ties. And in the markets reac-
ton breeds reaction, as they
get back in step with the rest
of the economy.
But confidence of the public
as a whole, rather than Just the
passing judgments of stock and
commodity traders, is the key
to the business future.
Confidence is a fragile thing.

Action Sought

The House Government Oper-
ations Committee said no new
laws we're needed to stop the
use of accounting gimmicks,
widely known as window

bigger or stronger than they
really are.
Window dressing" is done,
briefly, by temporarily adding

The committee urged the
three Federal agencies that SUI.

banks to try to talk banks out Of
using dressed-up statistics, in
the official reports on conditions
that they have to submit and in
their own public claims about
their condition.
But, if moral suasion"
doesn't work, the committee
said, the supervisors should be
able to take action.
Thus, the panel recommend
ed, sometime between now and
next June, the agencies should
require banks to publish along
with their statistics a pledge-in
the form of a "certification"-
that no window dressing" is
included.
Then, if the agencies find that
a bank nevertheless did dress
up its statements, they could
expose this fact in public and
''refer the matter to the Attor-
ney General for possible prose
