Government officials doubt a return to a 48 hour wartime policy, citing cost and manpower concerns. Layoffs anticipated in early 1951 as civilian demand shifts and munitions orders rise.

Credit Terms Bring Kicks
Washington reports Senator Maybank announced plans to seek government certificates of necessity to allow more liberal installment buying for lower priced cars. He urged the Federal Reserve Board to study relief amid complaints about current credit restrictions requiring one third down and up to 21 months to pay the balance, a policy he says harms low income workers. Maybank chairs the watchdog committee on automobile credit controls and leads the Senate Banking Committee which helped draft the law granting Fed discretion to curb installments.
