In another speech to the con-
ference, Prof. John B. Lansing of
the University Survey Research
Center said consumer attitudes
have shifted toward increased
willingness to borrow. He indicated
this was especially true during the
early 1950's.
Moderate increases in total con-
sumer debt during the past year or
two probably reflect increase in
population and consumer income
rather than a further shift toward
willingness to go in debt, he re-
ported.
Tendency Not Unsound
Because most of those who are
going in debt are ones who can

safely afford it, such a tendency
is not as economically unsound as
it might seem at first glance, he
added.
Prof. Lansing pointed out that
family incomes have risen spectac-
ularly in the past decade, 40 per
cent in stable dollars jumping for
the typical (median) family be-
of the typical family showed an
appreciable decline. These assets-
including checking accounts, sav-
ing bonds, and other items quickly
convertible to, cash-were about
$400 in the typical family in early
tween 1945 and 1956. He said the
trend is still up.
While income rose sharply, Prof.
Lansing noted, the liquid assets

1946. Eleven years later, they were

'Prices Moving Up'
On inflation, Prof. Lansing said
studies by SRC indicate consumers
"are aware prices are moving up
and expect them to go higher. Few
consumers, however, feel worse off
because of the increases."
The director of the McGraw-Hill
department of economics, Dexter
M. Keezer, told the conference in
another address that private capi-
tal formation during 1958 will de-
crease.
But he added that an increased
demand for this type of invest-
ment can be expected over the next
three to five years.
Investments Rise
He noted that investment in new
producing facilties will be about
10 per cent higher than it was in
1955. Investment for new plant
and equipment by electric utilities
will probably be higher in 1958
than it was this year.
Keezer forecast these changes
in the major components of capital
formation for 1958:
Business investment in new
plant and equipment down seven
per cent from 1957; homebuilding
up 10 per cent from this year's
level; changes in business inven-
tories down one billion dollars
compared to an increase of the
same amount this year; and all'
other capital formation, including
equipment expenditures by farm-
ers, professional persons, and in-
stitutions, up five-tenths billion
from last year.
He said there is good reason to
expect increased spending by busi-
ness for new plant and equipment
during the next three to five years.

"Growing Up in Modern Amer-
ica" will be the theme of the an-
nual Parent Education Institute to
be held tomorrow in Rackham
Building.
Topics for discussion are based
on discussion programs of parent
and family life education pub-
lished in the National Parent-
Teacher magazine. The program is
under the auspices of the Univer-
sity Extension Service and the
Michigan Congress of Parents and
Teachers (MCPT).
Education Class
The morning program at Rack-
ham Lecture Hall will begin with
a class in parent education, "This
My Very Own," led by Mrs. Belle
Murry, of the E-4tension Service, at
9:15 a.m. A talk by Prof. Walter
Sindlinger, of the education school,
Union Changes
Sunday Night
Films Policy
The Union yesterday announced
a change in its Sunday night foot-
ball film policy, according to Stew-
art Frank, '59BAd, head of the
Union house committee.
Because of difficulty in obtaining
the films, the Union will show the
films a week after the game instead
of the day after which had been
the previous policy. This week's
showing of Iowa game films had
to be canceled when the films did
not arrive from California where
they are processed.
According to Frank, films of the
Iowa game will be shown Sunday.

on "College-A Grade School Deci-
sion" will be given at 10:30 a.m.
Give Panel
The general assembly will fea-
ture a panel, "The Family Group
in Modern America," at 1:30 p.m.
at Rackham Lecture Hall. Mrs.
Charles W. Neldrett, president of
MCPT, will preside.
The following study groups will
be held in the afternoon: Pre-
school-"Home-Grown Character
Traits," elementary--"A Line on
Children's Problems," junior high
"Community Stresses and Strains"
and senior high-"The, New Teen
Ager."
Following a dinner at the Con-
gregational Church, Prof. Edward
Stasheff, of the speech department,
will talk on "The Case of Children
vs. Television."

Most of the increase in families
using installment buying 'credit
and those with over $500 of this
debt has been in middle and up-
per income brackets, according to
Prof. James Morgan, Survey Re-
search Center program director.
Prof. Morgan bases this state-
ment on a report published by the
Federal Reserve Board and based
on Survey Research studies, which'
also indicates that large increases
in the total amount of installment
debt would not significantly
change the number of families,
heavily burdened by debt of this
type.
The average ratio of debt to in-
come of families using installment'
credit can remain stable or eveli
drop with the growth of this type
of credit, since many of those us-

ing installment credit for the first
time are high income families.
The proportion of families
whose incomes are under $4000
who use installment credit has
actually decreased, the Survey Re-
search data indicates. The num-
ber of families with more than
$500 installment debt has re-
mained proportionally the same
during the same 'interval. ,
However the report shoves that
families with more than $4000
annual income have stepped up
both their rate of participation
in installment buying and the
amount of such buying. The
greatest percentile increase in
number of families with install-
ment debt is among those with
more than, $10,000 annual income,
where the percentage changed
from 26 to 35.
