Meanwhile, efforts to get Con' gress to extend the deadline were stalemated, according to Washing ton reports. Arguments put forth to congressmen by veterans' groups nationwide, including thsj advisory committee to the Ore gon veterans' department, urging! the time extension were these: 1. Veterans graduating from, college are having difficulty find ing Jobs in the current recession. 2. The recession Is forcing the lay-off of veterans ahead of oth er workers because they were hired last and lack senority. I. The bulk of veterans have not yet earned sufficient wage credit to draw state unemploy ment benefits. In Oregon, the STJCC said only 63 per cent of 94,680 veterans who filed for GI benefits since 1944 will be pro tected by state jobless payment when the veterans' program runs ont. On top of this, the state vet erans' department said, must bej figured thousands who never worked In Jobs covered by state! benefits. Oregon veterans received $81,-) 330,000 in federal Jobless pay in tha nearly rive years 01 tne pro' gram. The Jobless peak was in early March of this year wheni 24,329 veterans drew benefits ln one week. The lightest load, 1152 veterans, occured In October, 1948. Bank Business Loans Still Continue Drop WASHINGTON (,?) An unprecedented, uninterrupted half year s drop in bank loans to bus! ness was chalked up this week. The Federal Reserve Board re ported the 26th consecutive week ly decline in such loans for the seven days ended July 13. The week's drop was $12,000, 000. That was far less than the average weekly downslide which hss carried business loans by banks down $2,629,000,000 from the all-time peak reached last Dec. 22. The figures, gathered by the board from reserve system banks in the nation's leading cities, showed the total of business loans by these institutions had shrunk to $12,993,000,000 on July 13. Real estate loans alone were nearly one-fourth as high at $4,- 126.000,000. That was a new rec ord posted for this category aft er an $11,000,000 increase in the July IS week. Tha business loan decline Is generally attributed to reluctance of businessmen to borrow to build up inventories during a time of idecUnjiig prices.
