A small monkey has been tree-sitting and rafter-sitting since Saturday afternoon on the Seaplane Base. The lure of an apple got Adam, and the same method, but with no Eve, finally caught the escaped monkey at the Seaplane Base shortly before 1 p.m. today. Lt. J. R. Adams said that the monkey was trapped in a box by placing apples and other delicacies within reach and springing a trapdoor. Rivalry between VX-1 and HS-1 men who attempted to get the monkey down from the rafters reached a high point when the escapee got hold of a Coca-Cola bot- fle and aimed it at Lt. Comdr. J. R. Thompson of VX-1, executive officer of the Seaplane Base. Both di- visions went to work with a will, HS-1 finally turned the trick and the trap. At last report, the fugitive from a monkeychain was eating contentedly in his box quarters gazed at by some of his remote relatives. He will be held at the Sea- plane Base until claimed by his owner. If no one shows up. he may become a heli- copter pilot (so they say).

However, the Bank of America— the world’s largest bank—quickly announced much more lenient terms. A few hours after the con- trols were lifted. the bank an- nounced it will require no down payment for such household ap- pliances as refrigerators, ranges and washers, and allow 24 months to pay. Its new automobile financing terms are on a sliding scale, de- pending on the year in which the car was produced. On 1952 and 1951 new models, down payment is 30 per cent, balance in 30 months; on 1950-49-48 used models, 30 per cent down and 24 months for the balance; 1947-46, 30 per cent down, 18 months to pay; and on prewar models, 40 per cent down, balance in 24 months. On television and radio pur- chases, the bank will require 10 per cent down and 24 months to | pay. | Regulation “W”’ required a one- third down payment on automo- biles and 15 per cent down on furniture and appliances, with 18 months to pay. { The government still will regu- sate terms for real estate pu chases—under Regulation and officials said there is little likelihood of a suspension in this field An official of the Radio and Tel. evision Manufacturers Association said down payments probably will be reduced, especially on more ex Pensive sets, but time to pay prob- | ably will remain about the same The Natic nobil Association said finan expected quire a most ca to an aver Many bu | ment official effects will r sumer reaction ss ¢ pected to ease up on credit « Opening Here New Branch Is hills Rival The Winner! = Citizen Staff Photo BY 22 ABSENTEE BALLOTS, H.
