Operations of the “easy-credit racket” particularly striking at people in the low-income brackets in our community have been exposed from time to time over a period longer than two decades. The racket as it related to installment buying or easy payments and usury in ragard to interest rates or carrying charges has involved nearly every type of merchandise and various kinds of services. Reports or allegations on file at The Recorder, some for several years, indicate that low-income peop’e have been victimized on buying on the installment plan— everything from a “four dollar” (bed) blanket through categories of commodities up to Cadillac motor cars. Agencies or organizations committed to fair dealing in credit buying are now blaming credit rackets upon the operation of garnishee laws in many areas of our country. THE GULLIBLE buyer who defaults on weekly or monthly payments may have his salary attached (garnisheed) in keeping with the law in numerous states. A recent survey conducted by a U.S Senate sub-committee indicates that laws permitting wages to be garnisheed affords the basis for the easy-credit racket now spread generally over the entire nation. The survey assails the exorbitant interest rates reaped by unscrupulous credit sellers Again the survey noted “deceptive and misleading” methods are used by installment sellers and money lenders to conceal the actual interest raite. Devices used to hide exorbitant or high annual rates of interest, among othes, include, the “add-on”.
the “monthly rate” and the “discount.” The interest rate is figured on the full face amount of the credit, rather than the declining balance in “add-on.” Thus what may be advertised as 6 percent financing, figures out to an annual rate of over 11 per cent. The “monthly rate” relating to small loans and revolving credit accounts where the interest is stated at, for example, IV2 percent a month—works out to 18 per cent a year, even if applied only to the unpaid balance. The “discount” is a variation of the “add-on” with the interest charge being deducted in advance from the face amount of the loan or credit. This interest rate is usually higher than the debtor thinks it to be. THE SURVEY indicates that “extra fees”, service charges, insurance, etc., are seldom reflected or interpreted in quoted interest rates. Also revealed in the survey were typical ranges of annual interest rates for different types of credit as follows: Loans by ciedi unions, 6 to 12 percent; autos financed through dealers, 11 to 13 percent; retail stores, 10 to 18 percent; large personal loans, 18 to 30 percent, and small loans 30 to 36 percent. The survey indicates that most consumers are paying actual interest rates two or three times higher than they believe they are being charged. Following the survey a “truth-in-lending” bill has been sponsored by the Senate Sub-committee This proposed law would require all lenders and installment sellers vo state not only Iheir total finance charges, but also the annual rate of interest on unpaid balances.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AND— Following newspaper stories of cross-burnings and a racial disturbance at a radar station here, the Air Force announced that it was making a thorough investigation of the reports. Reports of . t h e racial trouble were first published in the Albuquerque Tribune. It was reported that several men were facing court martial action as a result of the incidents. Lt. Col. S. A.

Force Base, issued this statement: “Six airmen are currently lodged in Kirtland Air Force Base guard house on suspicion of assault and disorderly conduct... “During the altercation, a cross constructed of broom handles and rags was burned near a barracks. The squadron commander, who lives on station, dispersed the brawlers and instituted order immediately.” One airman told the newspaper that friction between white and Negro airmen at the station had been brewing for some time. The fight Sunday involved not more than four Negro airmen and a large number of white men, • According to reports of airmen, one quarrel sftarted inside .the c’ub when a Negro airman walked over to a table where another airman and his date were seated during the dance. Later two Negro airmen got into a fight with a white airman in the parking lot outside the club. ABOUT 1 A.M. Sunday, another airman and his date came out of the club and a Negro airman knocked him down and slapped his date, ithe paper said. The girl, a high school student in Albuquerque, confirmed that she had been slapped. She said the base commander had asked her not to say anything about the incident Airmen questioned said that after the dance a group of airmen went to one of the quonset barracks at the station, dragged a Negro airman outside and beat him. The Negro reportedly was not involved in the earlier fights. One or more white airmen then fashioned a crude cross of broomsticks, draped it with sheets atod set it afire, the airmen said. A
Africa
(Continnea from rage z) Police regulations requiring natives to carry identity cards or passes were eased late last week. The natives will not be required to carry passes until further notice, according to the announcement. This restriction on natives provoked the protest or demonstration at Sharpevllle and Langa early last week in which 72 natives—men, women and children—were mowed down under fire of police rifles. REPORTS indicate that nearly 200 were wounded and some of these died In hospitals. Other sources placed the figures of the dead or fatally wounded above 90 in number A world-wide wave of criticism followed the slaying of the demonstrators by police. The U. S. State Department made an official extraordinary denunciation of the mass shooting of the protesting workers, women and children. Prime Minister Nehru of India, a nation of approximately 400 million population, predominantly “colored’' people has long been a critic of South Africa’s racial laws. Speaking before the parliament of his country, Nehru observed that the “mass killings” are “not the end of an episode but a prelude to future conflicts.’^ He declared, “I cannot imagine the people of Africa submitting to this.” Political opponents of Prime Minister Hendryk Verwoerd of South A/rica have demanded a thorough probe of the violence visited upon the protesting workers, their women and children, and an end to South Africa’s “drift to disaster.” Following such criticism it has been announced that he would consider naming a commission to study the crisis. Prime Minister Verioerd’s Nationalist Party has mastermineded the rigid segregation laws and white supremacy policies of the country. NEARLY FOUR-SCORE leaders of militant or liberal movements and organizations were arrested this week, Negro, Indian and white persons, a sequel to the march on a Capetown police station by more than 30,000 natives. Thje march on the police station was staged in a demand that other leaders who have demonstrated against the government’s policies on segregation be freed. The marchers jammed all of the principal streets of Capetown, the pariamentary head city of South Africa. Armored cars patroled most streets of the capital city, and police, including natives, guarded street corners and several government buildngs. Prime Minister Verwoerd observed that order would be maintained if it even became necesary to supplement 18 regiments of the citizens' force with aid of the regular army. The demonstrators made a formidable impression, then , dispersed without precipitating any acts of violence. Earlier his week, many housands of natives stayed home from work in the mines and steel production centers “to mourn the deaths of the demonstrators.” South African law forbids the natives to strike.
