EASED TERMS HIT BY GREDIT GROUP Letting Down of Bars for Instaliment Buyers Meets Opposition_. Es the Associated Press, SPOKANE, Wash,, June 15.—Easier terms for installment buyers drew se- vere criticism today from the head of the Nation's retail credit experts. Here for the silver anniversary con- vention of the National Retail Credit Association, L. 8. Crowder of St. Louis, the organization's general manager, said credit men were concerned more with liberalization of installment buy- ing than with the sharp rise in the total volume of such transactions. “The majority of members of the association are opposed to this liberali- zation, which is not sound business and may prove dangerous,” he declared in an interview. “The association is opposed to com- petition between stores in credit serv- ice or installment terms, believing competition should be limited to the grade of goods.” He said the association committed itself at the last two oconventions against liberalization, because of fears such sales would prove disastrous in any downturn in payrolls. He predict- ed a similar resolution by the 1937 convention. Citing the sale of a broader list of commodities on deferred payments than in 1929, Crowder saw danger in average maturities from two to three times as long as before the depression. “We also are opposed to installment selling without a reasonable down pay- ment, or sales without carrying charges,” declared Crowder. He said the practice of selling without a down payment originated with the Federal Housing Administration. More than 1,000 credit men are.reg- istered.

In an address prepared for the an- nual commencement at the Rensse- laser Polytechnic Institute, Ferguson advised the graduates to “play and cultivate hobbjes” since “it is no. longer considered advantageous to work all the time.” J “I have lived,” he added, “to see the rich young man pass out of the picture both with regard to money and well-being, and I still know & great many hard-working engineers who have been able to acquire a com- petence at 60 and are still very much alive. “The day of great fortunes is rap- idly passing away, so that the most you can do is live sensibly and use- fully.” Best Irrigation Results, If one shallow irrigation well does not give a sufficient water supply, then several such wells should be installed in & straight line about 40 or 50 feet apart.
