Sharp Gains in Loans Reported in Capital By Bank Officials By Edward C. Stone Washington bank officials report a sharp rise in personal loans which has been going on for several months and especially since the first of the year. The loans cover a very wide range of uses. Enough new automobiles are ar riving here every week so that a good many loans are for the pur chase of these machines. Loans on refrigerators and other house hold goods are also in growing de mand, especially by veterans who are furnishing homes. Other bor rowers are assembling all the medi cal. dental and other bills into one sum and making loans to meet reg ular payments. Bankers say loans on automobiles are running larger than most of the others. However, the size of personal loans, as well as the num ber, is increasing. Several bank officials estimated today that the average size of these loans is from $500 to $600. That is from $150 to $250 higher than before the war. Loans for Homes Expand. Banks must remain within the bounds of the Federal Reserve Board’s regualtion “W” curb on credit. This fixes the amount that can be loaned for certain purposes and fixes the payment time. Rule ‘ W” has always irked bankers as they believe they should be allowed to decide for themselves the amounts to be granted on sound loans based wholly on merit. Building and loan officials saidj today that their loans have also increased recently. They are par- \ ticularly pleased with the demand by veterans for money for homes. Like the bankers, they are using great caution on these loans be cause of inflated real estate prices, and are guarding veterans’ interests against too high appraisals. Trust Company Adds Director.

While hopes for settlement of the coal strike persisted, Wall Streeters believed these were based more on wishful thinking than on facts and numerous customers, consequently, resumed selling operations. Isolated dividends, earnings and splitup pos sibilities still provided bidding in spiration for individual favorites. Dealings slowed after a fairly ac tive opening and irregularly lower trends prevailed near the fourth hour. Among scattered strong spots were Paramount Pictures, Pfizer, Food Fair Stores, National Distillers, Cer tain-Teed and Greyhound. Resistant were Montgomery Ward, Sears Roe buck, Texas Co., American Can, Douglas Aircraft and Sperry. Off fractions to around 4 most of the day were Allied Chemical, Du Pont, Union Carbide, New York Central, Southern Pacific. Northern Pacific, United States Steel, Bethle hem. Chrysler, General Motors, ; Goodrich, United States Rubber, ' American Telephone, Distillers Corp 1 Oliver Corp., Anaconda and Philip Morris. Washington Exchange • SALES.

May 9 (jpt.—With traders spending most of their time discussing the new Government ceiling price increases, activity in grains was very light today. May rye weakened and at times was down the full 5-cent limit on moderate offerings. Oats were bid at maximums with only a few transactions made. Chief conversational topic concerned the action Board of Trade directors may take on present contracts. Three possibilities were seen: 1. Close out the contracts at present ceilings and start with new' con tracts on Monday. 2. Keep present con tracts. giving “longs" a “windfall** if prices rise to new maximums. 3. Effect some sort of compromise price between present ceilings and new ones, closing out the contracts at these compromise prices. May rye closed down .*» cents at S2.673*. All other grains were unchanged at ceil ings. A cargo of 4ti5.O0n bushels of oats was loaded for shipment East. Reports from the country said there was some ex pansion in corn offerings.

Report Soon on Russian Withdrawal By th« Associated Press NEW YORK, May 9.—Iranian sources indicated today—amid a stony Soviet silence—that they hoped to report soon and con clusively to the United Nations Se curity Council on the departure of Russian troops from Iran. Tire Iranians appeared satisfied with the Council’s action yesterday in deferring further discussion of the Soviet-Iranian issue until May 20 to obtain fuller information on which to determine its next move. As Iranian Ambassador Hussein Ala prepared to return to Washing ton today, a spokesman for Iran said he expected a "conclusive” re I&rt from his government well before that date. Won’t Seek Soviet Report. The Council, in the face of Russian Delegate Andrei Gromyko’s boycott of yesterday’s meeting and the con tinuing silence of Moscow on the Council’s request for information on Iran, decided not to call on Russia again for the status of Red Army: withdrawals. Instead, on the motion of Amcri-i can delegate Edward R. StettiniusJ jr„ it took into account “the com-1 munication and travel difficulties in that remote area” and asked Iran to supplement her preliminary re port of May 6 as soon as possible or report any information whatever not later than May 20. Mr. Ala reported in a memoran dum to the Council Monday night that four northern provinces had been cleared but that interference in Azerbaijan prevented Iran from ascertaining whether the evacuation there was complete. merer was no opposition to the Stettinius resolution from either Prance or Poland, which previously had supported Russia's unsuccess ful attempts to have the Iranian case dismissed from the agenda. Australian Delegate Protests. The Council adjourned without setting a date for its next meeting after a 43-minute session at which the Russian boycott brought from Australian delegate Paul Hasluck the assertion that "it seems the Soviet government has ignored this Council." Mr. nasiuck demanded that the Council “obtain from the absent member a clearer idea of what he claims is the effect of his absence.” Britain’s Sir Alexander Cadogan declared "the absence certainly does imply some sort of evasion of re sponsibility or obligation,” but he discounted Mr. Hasluck’s conten tion that the absence of a member, even one with veto power, might stall the Council completely. Mr. Hasluck contended that the Council or some other competent U. N. body must clarify the veto issue and decide what action may be taken when a delegate absents himself. He said each member "acts in a representative capacity that extends beyond the representation of his own government,” and added: “Can we entertain a situation where a member • • * can select an occasion on which he does not choose to act as a representative? If we entertain that idea for a moment, it would undermine the whole structure of this body. Routine Meetings Today. "If. in addition to that, we enter jtain the other proposition that a j member by absenting himself could ! also prevent the Council from taking | action, then we not only fail in our duty as representatives but I sug gest that we defeat the whole pur pose for which this body was cre ated.” Sir Alexander retorted that “the absence of one of our number from this table does not halt the Council. We sit here and function.” U. N. activities today were limited ; to routine committee meetings while the Security Council’s subcommittee | on Spain prepared for a Friday ses : sion. The subcommittee next week may i hear Jose Giral, Prime Minister of : the Spanish Republicans exiled in i Paris, who is expected to arrive I about Monday with new evidence i against the Franco regime. The Re : publicans already have presented documents to the Council through Polish Delegate Oscar Lange in sup port of his motion for a collective U. N. diplomatic break wuth Madrid. Eisenhower and Sinatra Honored by Catholic Youths By the Associated Ptess CHICAGO, May 9.—Gen. Eisen hower and Frank Sinatra were among the 10 men honored by the Catholic Youth Organization for outstanding work in the field of youth at the CYO's 14th annual ‘sportsmen's dinner last night. The Most Rev. Bernard J. Shell, auxiliary bishop of Chicago, pre sented Sinatra with the Club of Champions award for his efforts in the interest of racial and religious tolerance. He termed the radio singer “an honest, fearless and forthright fighter against intolerance, who has utilized his influence with a vast following to further those ideals which are the heartbeat of our de mocracy.” I Brig.
