Suits of the eco- mIent said, data de- University Research uantitative Econom- employment totaling 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 fth annual c Outlook, producing line in GNP ne in gross national P) from $435.4 billion $432.7 billion in 1958 ents the total value s and services pro- from 68 million to n the number of em- ed labor productivity; Force Increases ease from 70.4 to 70.8 e nation's work force, continued shift from Credit Buying Rise Noted . - - 1946. Eleven years later, they were only $360. '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." 1319 S.

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. pp" I x 4 MEMEER N EiE t '4. padding S~ *4 ~ ~ 44 a~ *~~4 44" *1 4 ** ** '71 4444 makes the dif-ference, ~ushions. your clothes More than an inch of soft padding DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN hued from Page 4) as the second, scheduled g Semester, will be open' 1 public without charge. d:: The recital organist, pre- Wed., Nov. 6,' rium,'has been 1: Linda Reck, pianist, 8:30 p.m. Wed., Nov. 6, Assembly Hall, per- in partial fulfillment nts for the degree of Miss Reck is a pupil and her program will ons by Bach, Schubert to the general public. acdemic Notices of of Business Administration:- ts from other Schools and Col- atending to apply for admission e spring semester should secure tion forms, in Room 150, School .ess Administration Building, as ,s possible.
