OPA Proposes New Plan for Anti-Inflation Installment Buying Is Endorsed to Close Gap. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.- (P)- Price Administrator Leon Henderson offered today with his own unquali- fied endorsement a plan for install- ment buying now of consumer durable goods like automobiles and refrigera- tors for delivery after the war. The plan,, under discussion for months, was outlined officially for the first time at a press conference conducted by Henderson and Rolf Nugent, director of OPA's credit pol- icy office, who drafted it. Nugent said it was designed primarily as "an anti- inflation weapon." In issuing the plan to the press, the Office of War Information called it "simply a proposal under discussion at OPA" and said it "has not received the approval of the government." Secretary of the Treasury Morgen- thau already has taken a firm stand against the idea but Nugent said he theught some of Morgenthau's major objections had been eliminated by a provision which he contended would permit soldiers and ^ailors to partici- pate. Morgenthau told a recent press conference that an analysis had been made of Nugent's plan and numerous others along similar lines and he found no advantages over the present war bond plan. He held that members of the armed forces could not partici- pate and that they would return home to find high-paid war plant workers holding purchase priorities for con- sumer goods. In its revised form the plan gives members of the armed forces longer terms of payment to comperisate for lower incomes and provides for the issuance of post-war delivery certifi- cates through personnel officers and chaplains. "I unqualifiedly endorse it and of- fer it for thought and discussion pro- voking," Henderson commented. J MOVIE. PREVIEWS At the Michigan . . . At the State ..
