End of Regulation W
Seen To Have Little
Sales, Price Effect
Washington (U.R) Gqvern
ment economists predicted
Thursday that removal of install
ment buying controls will have
"little effect" on sales or prices
of automobiles, TV sets and
home appliances.
They said the Federal Reserve
Board's decision to suspend
"Regulation W" was based on
the belief that consumers will
not go on a credit-buying binge,
but will continue to pick and
choose as they have been doing
In the face of high prices and
plentiful goods.
Can Counter Expectations
The "no boom1' forecast from
federal experts can directly
counter to the optimistic expec
tations of many manufacturers
and dealers, who have blamed
credit controls for their sagging
talcs.
The initial public reaction also
tended to belie the government
predictions. Buyers flocked to
new and used car lots In many
cities soon after the suspension
was announced late Wednesday.
Newspapers here and elsewhere
blossomed out in full-page ad
vertisements of automobiles and
appliances with "no down pay
ment up to 24 months to pay."
Builders Attack
Encouraged by the suspension
of Regulation W, the building In
dustry prepared to redouble its
attack on the Federal Reserve
board's Regulation X, which re
quires stiff down payments on
houses.
But the word from adminis
tration and congressional sourc
es was that no "major ' relaxa
tion of the housing credit rules
is in sight.
Informed sources said the Fed
eral Reserve Board, is "consider
ing" modifying the present re
quirement of a 50 per cent down
payment on homes In the
$25,000-and-up bracket.

New York OJ.R) William
Fox, 74, fabulous pioneer of the
movies who once was master of
' $100,000,000, died Thursday.
He got into the movies as the
operator of a "nickelodeon" and
became a titanic figure in the
giant industry that sprung from
the early "flickers."
But he lost his power and for
tune during the depression of the
early 30's, became a bankrupt,
served a prison sentence for de
frauding the government, and
died a relatively poor man.
Causa Not Told
Fox had been a patient for a
year at Doctor's hospital, where
he died. Cause of death was
not disclosed but associates said
he had been ill for three years
of "a complication of ailments."
Fox at one time was said to
have been worth $100,000,000.
In his first 25 years in the picture-making
business, he built
the Fox Film Corp. into an em
pire that operated 1,100 theaters
across the country.
In 1930, he retired as head of
the film and theater corpora
tions which bore his name and
sold his holdings for $18,000,000.
A number of suits were filed
against him almost immediately,
Including one for $1,000,000 by
the receiver for the Fox Thea
tres Corp., another for a similar
amount by a Chicago theater and
one by a New York attorney for
$500,000.
Settlement Made
In 1941 creditors accepted
$895,000 in- settlement of all
claims and he was discharged
from bankruptcy.
But later the government
brought a criminal charge that

Skunk Smell Proves
Undoing of Fox
Houston, Tex. (U.R) A fox
that approached Dale Barnum
and Roy Robinson as they walk
ed through a wooded area of
Houston was at first believed to
be rabid.
He ran right up to the two men
"and seemed to be dazed as he
went past."
Barnum hit the animal with
a knapsack and rolled him into
a ditch. The fox got up and
continued following the pair
down a trail. Finally Barnum
clubbed him to death.
Then the two men realized the
fox carried a strong odor of
skunk.
"He apparently had been ar
guing with a skunk and was just
dazed by the smell didn't.know
what he was doing when he
walked up to us," Barnum said.
Homely Philosophy

philosophy has paid dividends

Four years ago, Robinson each
morning started writing a few
lines of philosophy on a green
blackboard at the entrance to
his lot.
It might be some such saying
as "The human is the only ani
mal that can be skinned twice."
When the sayings proved
popular and steady readers start
ed stopping, he continued his
messages with such as: "Many
a man goes broke trying to bluff
with two queens,'' and "He who
laughs lasts."
The customers started looking
forward to a new sign every
morning.
Later, when Robinson was
transferred to another lot and
dropped the signs, the protest
caused his employer to return
him to his old location with
instructions to "put those signs
back up.
Robinson believes one of his
most successful quotations is:

know. If It weren't for them,
you'd be a total stranger,"
