"The Federal Reserve Boa'.'d Monday dropped Its voluntary credit restrain program a program designed to curb lending and help fight inflation. The board said ihe program Is being suspended "In the light of current circumstances" but wiU be held on a standby basis ready for use again If needed Under the program, banks and other lending Institutions were en couraged to make loans odly for defense or essential civilian pur poses. Regional committees were set up to screen loan applications to see if they complied with the program. MOTOR FACTOR The nationwide volunteer drive started in March, 1951. In the nine months from the start of the Kor ean War until the program started, business loans in major banks had increased by more than five and a half billion dollars, a major factor in the inflationary surge of that perioa. In the 13 months since the credit restraint appeal was made, busi ness loans have -increased only a little over one and a half billion dollars and two-thirds of this in crease has been idue to defense loans. A spokesman for the board said the agency feels the program can be ettective and lair only in a period of '"real emergency." An casing of Inflationary pressures in recent months' has , lessened Uie need for the program, the spokes man added. DANGER . j,, . , He said the board feels such a voluntary restraint can be lmrosed effectively only when the immedi ate danger of inflation is "more critical. - Reserve Board officials added that a "complicating factor" was President Truman's recent order releasing citv and state govern ments from the program. This opened the way to bond issues for veterans' bonuses and other state and local government . spending which had been withheld. By ROWLAND EVANS, JR. WASHINGTON M The White House negotiations started by President Truman over the weekend in another effort to end Uie steel dispute have collapsed. And both union and management spokesmen privately said Monday the Supreme Court freeze on wages In Uie industry, pending a final court ruling on government seizure of the mills, played a sugnlficant-' role in the breakdown. The CIO Steelworkers Union and the Industry quit trying to settle their conflict over a new work con tract late Sunday because, as Presidential Assistant John R. Steelman put It, they were "so. far apart that no agreement" could be reached. Benjamin Falrless, President of U. 8. Steel Corp., and CIO Presi dent Philip Murray had been in day and night session with other union and Industry officials since , Saturday morning at the urgent request of President Truman. ACTION CALL ' Steelman nreslded over the futUe negotiations after Truman opened the sessions oy saying ne wanted action. When the breakoff came. Murray said the Industry was on a "strike against collective oargaimng.'- Tne industry aald Uie union "still re fuses to consider" a cent "package" offered it. Tne steel w oncers rant ran seeking what the Wage Stabiliz ation Board recommended a 17 ',2 cents an hour wage raise ' plus other fringe benefits and the union shop which would compel all workers to belong to the steel union. The average wage in the industry la slightly under 12 an hour. Arthur B. Homer, president of Bethlehem Steel and spokesman for the Industry, said in a state ment Uie union still refused to consider an offer made three weeks ago which, he said, would glva the worsen si a day increase. instead. Homer said, the union Insisted on the full recommenda tions of the Wage Stabilisation Board, Including a union shop. no proposals were oiiered oy the union . . . " Homer said. , NO MENTION Any public mention of the Su preme Court wage stand, which lasts only until the court has de cided Uie case, was conspiciously aosent. But the Industry lawyer who has been working closely with the legal aspects of the controversy said the steel companies wanted the Su preme Court to decYj the const! tutionality of trvmacNi seizure of the Industry - AprU 8 to avert a strike. . He said, however, that Industry fear of a government-Imposed wage boost Just about balanced off its desire for a high court confirma tion of Judge David A. Pine's sweeping decision that the -seizure was "wholly illegal and without autnority oi law." - - . . On Saturday afternoon, the threat of a wage raise was removed.
