Bankers Urge Government To Drop
Control Of Installment Buying
I.J1JIJJJI
Ut.
WASHINGTON, May 14. OP)
The American Bankers Asso
ciation Thursday urged ending
government controls on install
ment buying.
The group's recommendation
was made to a Senate Banking
subcommittee by T. C. Boushall,
president of the Bank of Virginia.
He said "deflationary forces" ap
pear to have the upper .land in
the economy, thus eliminating
the need of credit curbs.
Boushall was backed up by Ed
ward E. Brown of the First Na
tional Bank, Chicago, and W.
Randolph Burgess of the National
City Bank, New York.
But Committee Chairman May-
bank (D-SC) said he favors keep
ing the controls on a "stand-by"
basis. He added, however, he did
not think they should be enforced
except on purchases of low-priced
automobiles and "possibly one or
two" other scarce articles.
Maybank, who also is head of
the full Banking Committee,
agreed with a recommendation by
Brown and Burgess for cuts in
bank reserve requirements so that
more money will be available for
lending. He said the economic
situation now is "just the oppo
site" of what It was when Presi
dent Truman submitted an anti
inflation program to Congress
last January.

Count Of Festival Ticket Sales To
Determine Winners Of Campships
Boy Scouts and Camp Fire Girls do not yet know who won the
contest in which they participated during the past month, to see
who could sell the greatest number of tickets to the Spring Festival.
Although the proceeds are not all In, Mrs. Elizabeth Gibson, execu

to 'the National Guard for the opporunlty to take part.

of .'tlflcet . sales. Although the
Camp Fire Girls are hbping they
win these prizes, they still do not

Prince Aly Khan
On Swiss Trip
CANNES, France, May 14.
W) Prince Aly Khan left today
for Switzerland, presumably to
visit his two children. Actress
Rita Hayworth, scheduled to wed
the prince on May 27, did not
accompany him.
Informants at the prince's cha
teau said he would spend about
three days in Switzerland and
then go to Paris, leaving for
the Riviera about May 24. The
children in Switzerland are those
of the prince and his divorced
tngllsn wile, Joan Yarde-Buller.
In Paris, the newspaper Paris
Presse printed a picture of what
it said was one of the 300 wed
ding invitations sent out by the
couple. It read: "Miss Rita Hay
worth and Prince Aly Khan in
vite you to their wedding at the
Chateau De L'Horison, Golfe
Juan, on the 27th of May, 1949,
at p.m.
French papers also said one of
the prince's presents to the Ameri
can film star was an Italian au
tomobile, an Alfa-Romeo, which
cost 6,000,000 francs ($18,000.)
A Paris newspaper said her
wedding dress will be pale blue

Last Ditch Defense
On Shanghai's western out

apart Chinese villages to clear
a last-aitcn defense line. But the
Ill-directed activity seemed to
make sense. Most responsible
persons feel the Reds will march

a shot.
Fighting in the whole Shang

At some points the Reds appear

inese penetrations seemed to
be less than 10 miles from the
city but the Shanghai garrison
command indicated they had
been beaten back.
A Nationalist communique said
Red advance units on the north
ern prlmeter had been thrown
back around the townlets of
Shilitselln, Yuehpu and Yang
chang. All are from 10 to 15
miles from Woosung.
The situation appeared to have
swung temporarily at least in
the Nationalists' favor. But it
was obvious the Communists
were aiming at the vital mari
time gateway and it still was in
great peril.

Revaluation Of
Property Needed,
Seeger Declares
Throughout Oregon there exists
a need for re-evaluating proper
ty, In order to equalize the tax
load on all real property, said
Deanne Seeger, former city man
ager of Eugene, at a dinner
meeting of municipal officials of
Douglas County arranged by the
League of Oregon Cities here
Friday night.
With population of Oregon
cities increasing and the need
arising for municipal improve
ments, the cost of proposed bond
issues is sometimes greater than
assessed valuation, Seeger said.
He suggested that municipal of-1
ficials who know of property im
provements which are not on
the tax rolls, should visit their
county officials to urge that
deputies be placed in the field
to assist the county assessor in
locating such property.
"I'm not blaming the county
assessors, but the system under
which they must operate," Seeger
said.
This discussion was one of the
highlights of a meeting in which
the city officials reviewed the
problems of sewer and sanita
tion improvements, issuance of
bonds to finance the cost of
such work, and the ability of
property to meet the assess
ments. The meeting was presided over
by Hollis S. Smith, mayor of
Dallas and vice president of the
League of Oregon Cities. Seeger
opened the meeting with a re
view of recent legislation of spe
cial interest to municipalities.

sentatives Included, besides bmltn
and Seeger, A. N. Westling and

There was disagreement
whether Eisler could be taken

and this is an extraditable offense
for which he might be removed

Nixon is a member of the

Senators Giving
Serious Thought
To Police Force
WASHINGTON, May 14. UP)
A group of senators gave ser
ious thought today to an interna
tional police force lor the North
Atlantic Alliance.
Senators Mundt (R.-S.D.) and
Hendrickson (R.-N.J.) said they
are among several lawmakers
who look favorably on such a
plan to enforce peace.
Mundt said he will back a move
for an international police force,
to Include Spain, Turkey, China,
Argentina, and all otner non-
Communist countries of the
world."
Hendrickson said he is "svmua-
thetic to the objectives," but has
not yet become an active sup-
loiter of the plan. He added that
le'd like to see it done under the
United Nations.
The two senators cave their
views to reporters in separate
interviews.
Brldee expert Elv Culbertson
has interested a group of sena
tors in his idea for settina ud a
"contingent force" among the 12
pact nations.
This volunteer armv would be
made up of exiles and citizens of
countries not large enough to
have their own armies. It would
be controlled by a central council
on which the United Slates
would have two votes and the
other countries a total of five.
Culbertson said this proposal
will be made in the form of a
resolution in connection with the
senate's consideration of the
Atlantic Treaty and Arm-s for
Europe program. With U. S.
backing, he said, the other pact
nations probably would accept It.
Mundt said such a plan mav be
offered when the $1,130,000,000
arms program for pact nations is
brought before the senate.
But he added his major objec
tive will be to get this govern
ment to lead the way in a world
disarmament move, coupled with
international arms inspection.
