Increase In Debt's Toll Calls For New Answers
Debt fueled by easy credit reshapes American life and strains households. In 1965 consumer debt excluding mortgages reached 86 billion dollars, up 8 billion from a year earlier.

Congress faces truth in lending proposals requiring upfront disclosure of commitment and annual percentage rate. President Johnson has urged passage for years without success. Critics say no law can curb compulsive buyers. others argue debt limits should rest with individuals and creditors. Persistent bankruptcies over 13 years reflect deeper national character questions even in good times.
