Tuns 28j, Controls Over Installment Buying to Fall ' WASHINGTON, June 25-TV i Dropping prices and dwindling I shortages are hastening the re moval of federal controls which have lingered through war, re ' coversion and post wr boom. . Although, some will remain, the end of the 1949 fiscal year at mid night next Thursday will bring to an end: 1. Credit controls over install ment buying by consumers. This may mean lower down payments for autos. 2. An U-inflation controls over bank reserves: their lifting will . free about $800,000,000 in bank f unHs for lending. J. Priorities to assure the export of v fertilizer, which now is In easier world supply; and the gen eral priority power to speed ex ports of any other goods whose - shipment would further U. S. for eign policy. fc 4 The power to regulate sales n1 use of the alloy antimony; it l now a dead letter. Kenewal Planned Also expiring, but likely to be renewed before the deadline are controls over tin from mine to consumer; and import controls over fats, oils and rice. The selective service may go in to mere "liquidation" status for lack of funds1- unless the senate rmmztnr- tv.fi-H t tk w budget cut ordered by the house for the fiscal year starting Friday I the money is not restored, selec tive erv ice says it can not even re gister draft-age youths or keep local draft boards running. Slated for sudden death is the War Assets administration, now nearing the bottom of its bins of billions of dollars worth of dis posable war surplus. Sntxtitate Arcney rnnfrvn is ijhinp rreatinn nf a new "general service agency" which would take WAAV activ ity, along with the government's buying, building management and re-onl-keeping chores. If senate and houj.e fail to agree on this bill by the oncoming midyear date however, WAA might be divided up amongthre old-line agencies. But in any case it still has work to do "white elephant" war plants to sell, leased plants to supervise, and odds and ends of surplus to get rid of. But the so-called "war powers" contained in the second decontrol act of 194S are' dying on the vine. Most of them were carry-overs from the famed "second war act" of 1942. which mobilized the civilian economy behind the arm ed forces. JAMKS E.
