I Piogresjs of the $251 million

I dies for chronically depressed
ft sections, was halted by refusal
I of the House Rules Committee
1- to clear fit for floor considers -

I House. Jt is possible, too,- that
■ the 6 to ,6 tie ivote of the Rules
■ Committiee could be shifted to j
I a majority in favor of floor con-
I sideration.
I Needless to say, there is still;
■ apprehension over the outcome j
K among the congressional forces
■ opposing unessential spending
■ and seeking to preserve state
I and local governmental func-j
I tions.
I With the end of the eongres-
I sional session approaching, the.
I big spenders are working over-'
I time in lan effort to push their 1
I pet schemes toward enactment.
I This pressure is certain to be
I intensified in the weeks to come.
I Opponents of the area redevel-
I opment 'legislation and other j
R similar Spending proposals—con-
I tend that such problems should]
I be handled at the state and local]
I levels. They maintain that it is
I unfair to tax residents of other
I areas for the benefit of small
I segments of the population
I whose problems are temporary !
I and can* be handled by the exer-
I cise of private enterprise inge-j
I- Huity.
I If such federal largesse is!
I given to a few communities, it is*
I pointed out that this would serve
I as an incentive for every other;
I community in the nation to ex-
I pert financial assistance from;
K Uncle Sam instead of grappling
I' with the problems themselves.
I The opponents assert that the)
I habit of running to Washington]
I for assistance in meeting almost;
I every problem that arises must!
I be broken—or else the govern-;
| ment will be plunged again into!
inflation-creating deficit financ-'
ing-
The area redevoipment bill isj
only one of many measures be- 1
fore Congress which would boost j
federal and wipe out
any prospects for a surplus in
the fiscal year starting July 1.
In fact, a count made by;
Senator* Morton (R-Ky.) shows
that the big spenders had in-,
troduced legislation calling for
additional federal outlays of
f $325 billion over the next five]
years.
This would be in addition to'
the expenditures proposed in the |
Administration’s budget, estimat-j
ed at $79.8 billion for next year
against receipts of SB4 billion. |
“Let the tiniest scratch or:
pimple appear on the national’
economic body and in rush the,
big spenders with their federal;
aid ‘band-aids’,” Senator Mor
tem told the American Society
of Newspaper Editors.
“Theyt, 1 have developed more
remedies than there are ills,”
he added. “They have an elixir
for every elector. And a few
bottles left over, just in case."
In his opinion, however, there!
are more votes lost than won j
“along the route of (fiscal) ir-'
| responsibility.”
Another spending proposal,
threatening serious inroads on
; the prospective budget surplus
£ would provide a $1 billion spe
ll cial assistance fund for subsi
l dizing the housing industry.
The attitude of the Eisenhow
• er Administration was reflected
in a vigorous statement by Rep.
Halleck of Indiana, the House
Republican leader, saying the]
bill, by Rep. Rain (D-Ala.). was;
“a billion dollars worth of ba-j
looey.”

The National Outlook
The Cost Os Consumer Credit
B\ • Ralph Robey
No one likes to pay sat ex
orbitant rate of interest ,on a
loan or borrowed money, no r to
see any one else forced to do *x
Yet tens of thousands of |\ er
aons are paying such rates con
stantly without even being axvsAre
of it. It is to eliminate thvs
lack of knowledge that SenatiV
Paul Douglas (D-JU.) has intro
duced a bill requiring that all"
charges on installment credit I
and personal loans be stated as
a simple interest item—6 or 8 or
10 percent, or whatever it may ;
be.
The lack of awareness by bor- •
rowers of whai they actually are
paying arises in many instani'es ■
from the failure of the lender to
indicate the difference between
a cash and a time purchase price
(generally, this probably is be
cause the purchaser does not
even inquire), and in many in
stances because of the manner
in which the charge is stated.
For example, if one borrows
$1,200 for one year at 6 percent
and has to pay back SIOO a.
month, his real interest charge
is not 6 percent but about twice
that- This is because under
these circumstances the borrow-.
er does not have the use of I
$1,200 except for one month—l
the first month—and each month I
thereafter the amount he has I
left of the loan declines SIOO.
Yet when he has only SIOO of
the loan remaining his dollar in
terest charge is the same as
when he had $1,200.
That is the simplest example l
of interest rate distortion, but I
even it would not lie especially 1
easy to correct, and its oorrec- j
tion would not accomplish the I
objective of the Douglas bill, j
The- Senator is after the compli
cated cases and believes if the
real charge was known by the
borrower we would have less
■use of such credit.
Now, installment credit is ex->

, pensive, and even under the best

[ substantially more thaw other
I forms of credit. In the ease off
, a single payment loan, for ex

by the office of the lender or
mail him a check in payment oS
the loan. If the lender is a com
mercial bank, the loan otdinar

' ing his account debited by the
V»mount of the loan at its ma

In the case of installment ere

praciicte of the lender to send a
collectar to pick up the pay

pensive than in the case off a
one payment loan.
Almost nil consumer credit in
volves sonar investigation off the
borrower, and all of it should be
based upon such an examina

mally are for lelatively small
amounts, the cost of such a
search is proportionately much
higher than it is for business
loans.
The percentage of loss on con-,
sumer credit is amazingly low. I
but there are losses, and if it is
I
necessary to repossess the ar-;

means for the collection of the
balance, expenses become high. s
Because ol these and other
items there is no possibility off
bringing the cost of consumer
credit down to the level of nor
mal business loans. At the

that it would be highly desir
