Installment Plan Purchases Enabling
Many Americans To Realize Long Dreams
, New York (U.PJ The
splashy ads tell of one of the
phenomena of America's great
economic boom.
Pay $1.59 a day and own a
1995 Buick, says one.
Or buy a brand new home, no
money down, 30 years to take
care of the mortgage.
A vacation? It you have a job
your signature is enough to get
you $500 cash for the holiday.
Sending your son through col
lege? You can do that on the
cuff, too.
Making Dreams Com True
Those are some of the more
colorful manifestations of a
staggering splurge of buying on
the installment plan. Thanks to
the sign which reads "Buy Now,
Pay Later," more and more
. Americans are making their
dreams come true by signing
on the dotted line. They're doing
it at a time when credit is the
easiest In 10 years.
The result: A record $24,000,
000,000 in installments credit
piled up by the public. Add to
that non-installment credit such
as charge accounts and single
payment loans, and total consu
mer credit at the end of May
mashed past $31,500,000,000.
Ret Enough
That is slightly more than all
the money in circulation in the
United States. It is also five
times the installment debts in
the year just before World War
II.
Back . of the record-toppling
figures boil the production lines
which are turning out the great--est
flood of merchandise in the
nation's history. Auto produc
tion, for example, is at all-time
peaks and it is estimated - that
more than 80 per cent of the
HOSE HAZARD
Montville, Conn. (U.R)
Firemen fighting a house blaze
were hard pressed for water.
They discovered a nearby pond
and unrolled their lines across
railroad .tracks and began
pumping. Minutes later a freight
train passed and cut the hose.
The house burned down.
CHURCH BELLS
. Louisville, Ky. (U.R) Bells
from 15 steam engines headed
for the scrap pile have been pre
sented by the Louisville & Nash
ville Railroad to churches in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama
and Virginia. The railroad has
donated 349 bells to churches
along its lines since 1951.

1955 models were sold on the
installment plan.
This sort of thing makes the
manufacturers happy but it wor
ries some bankers and econo
mists.
Between March and May, they
warn, some $1,200,000,000 was
added to the buying power ' of
consumers merely by the boost
in installment credit.
Banks Worried
These funds were created by
the banking system and do not
reflect an actual increase in. sa
vings or current income," ex
plained one banker. "You want
to encourage this in time of re
cession but not in a boom period
when it merely forces prices up.
Of course we are not in this
kind of boom yet, but the credit
picture bears close watching."
This astonishing ' American
credit habit is beginning to take
hold in Europe. Foreign coun
tries long have balked at what
they call the "never-never" sys
tem of buying and they cling to
such old-fashioned ideas as view
ing a home mortgage is a sort of
stigma. '
Now they are beginning to
melt. Typical is Austria where
you now can pay your dentist
or even settle a traffic fine in
easy payments.
Science Seeking Pill
To Control Alarming
Fertility in Humans
By DELOS SMITH
United Press Science Editor
New York (U.R) Scientists
striving to give the human race
simple and sure way of con
trolling its prodigious and
alarming fertility for exam
ple, something as easy as taking
an aspirin believe they are on
the verge of success.
They're talking very reluc
tantly, when they talk at all,
since no scientist wants to rouse
false expectations. But this
writer has been given good rea
son for believing that several
easy "aspirin tablet" ways which
act on the fertility of animals,
now are being tested very
quietly and privately in human
beings.
Since fertility in whatever
"biological system," whether an
imal or vegetable, results from
chemical processes, these scien
tists are working : with chem
icals which "antagonize" those
processes. So far as experimental
animals are concerned, a potent
antagonizing chemical or chem
icals is contained in a weed
which grows in the Rocky
Mountains.
Weed Called 'Lithosperm'
That this weed has anti-fertility
properties is well known;
indeed, it has come to be called
"lithosperm" "litho". being a
combining word form, meaning
"stone." What is new and ex
citing to investigating scientists
is that science is very close
to separating its anti-fertility
chemical or chemicals from the
i est. of the plant's many sub
stances. When scientists can work with
the pure,, unadulterated antag
onist, it will be a simple matter
to find how much of it is needed,
and how often, to assure a posi
tive result. The scientists then
can learn to make it, to assure
a cheap, unlimited supply. They
are experimenting now with ex
tracts which are heavily sat
urated with the anti-fertility
"factor," most probably in hu
man beings as well as in ex
perimental animals.
Another far-advanced quest
for "fertility control" is through
the chemical maze which is the
body's system of internally se
creting glands. The pituitary
glands secrete hormone-like sub
stances, gonadotropins, which
circulate with the blood and
regulate stages in the fertility

production. Here the idea is to introduce
substances from the outside
which would "antagonize" the
gonadotrophins. Chemical sub
stances such as those contained
in lithosperm antagonize sperm
atoza or ova the male and fe
male germ cells after they've
been made. The hormonal me
thod would antagonize the ma
king of them.
A Terrifying Urgency
The hormonal method is about
to be tested in human beings, if
indeed it isn't already being
tested. It requires injections
in its present stage of develop
ment; the lithosperm method is
by pills.
Some scientists and groups
place a terrifying urgency upon
the finding of some easy, sure
way of "controlling fertility"
a method which would be acces
sible and acceptable to the mas
ses in such countries as India,
Japan, Egypt, and Puera Rico
and even in the United States,
but with less urgency here.
The Planned Parenthood Fedr
eration, which has spent $300,
000 on the scientific search for
such a way since 1948, put it
this way:

'Beat Feet' Probably
Owner's Own Fault
St. Paul, Minn. (U.R) If you
have "beat feet," it's probably
your own fault. .
At least that's the opinion of
Minnesota doctors who reported
in a state medical association
bulletin that the feet take abuse
few other parts of the body have
to take. .
First, feet are not necessarily
a "foot long." They stretch dur
ing the day, becoming longer in
the evening than they were in
the morning. They are also
longer when you walk on them
than when you sit down. And
they swell when- they're hot.
The doctors said shoes should
be purchased with an eye to
this process of lengthening and
swelling, and that alternating
pairs of shoes also is a good
idea.
Cramming feet into shoes that
don't fit, the bulletin warned,
invites corns, bunions, hammer
toes, fallen arches and flat feet.
And, what's worse, a disposition
to match.
