DETROIT FREE PRESS SIGN OF WANE OBITUARIES Last Rites Are Held Creighton Business Briefs NEW YORK (JP) Rumors that Gov. Thomas E. Dewey would become president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. when his term of office expires in 1950 were denied by the company Monday. A report to that effect received national circulation recently in a radio broadcast by Walter Winchell.

A company spokesman pointed out that appointment of Dewey as president would be a break in a long tradition for the firm. All previous heads have come from the company's ranks. urniture Shipments Up, but New Orders Fall GRAND RAPIDS () Furniture shipments in November topped last year by 12 per cent, Seidman Seidman, accountants to the trade, reported Monday. New orders, however, dropped 22 per cent below November, 1947, levels, and unfilled orders at the end of the month were 39 per cent below November, 1947. "Cancellations continued abnormally high, averaging 17 per cent of the amount of new orders booked," the accountants reported.

Support on Edible Dry Beans Extended WASHINGTON IP) The Agricultural Department announced Monday that its price-support program for the 1948 dry edible bean crop will be extended through February. The program had previously been scheduled to end Dec. 31. The extension was made, the department said, because processing facilities in some areas are inadequate to properly process the beans for price-support storage by Dec 31. Tide Water Fails Again to Get Purchase OK NEW YORK JP) Tide Water Associated Oil Co.

failed Monday for the third time in eight days to get a stockholders' vote on the proposed purchase of Doheny oil interests in California. Again the reason for failure was that less than 50 per cent of the outstanding stock, required for a quorum, was represented at Monday's meeting. Similar attempts failed last Monday and Tuesday. DuPont Handed Plutonium Problem WASHINGTON (JP) The job of figuring out how the chemical processes used in producing plutonium can be improved has been handed the E. I.

duPont de Nemours Co. by the Atomic Energy Commission. Announcing this today, the commission said a major portion of the country's atomic energy program is now being devoted to making plutonium. It is one of two fissionable materials used in atomic work. New York Curb Exchange 1 DEATH HOTICES FODBIKLSKI Felix.

Faricy, of the Association, said in a year-end statement that the 1948 freight traffic will total about ton-miles (one ton hauled one muej, up 44 per cent from 1929, the record prewar year.

However, he said that due to increased operating costs "the railroads were able to earn a return on the net amount invested in them which averaged barely 4'4 per cent, and out of this return the railroads must pay interest, rentals and other fixed charges, while out of what is left for the owners, a considerable part of the cost of providing necessary improvements must be met." REFERRING indirectly to a pending freight rate increase petition pending before the Interstate Commerce Commission, the AAR president said costs of railroad operation have increased more than per cent since 1939. The increase in the average level or freight rates in the same period, he said, has been only slightly more than two-fifths as much, and the average revenua received from hauling a ton of freight one mile has gone up only 28 per cent.

Bank Loans Off Sharply, Board Says WASHINGTON (JF) The Federal Reserve Board said Monday bank loans "slackened abruptly" in October and November, another sign that inflationary forces are waning. Loans to finance purchases of automobiles, refrigerators, furniture and similar items also were "sharply reduced" in October, the board said. But it ascribed this to the reimposition of consumer credit controls in September.

"Diminished growth in credit to real estate buyers and consumers probably accounted in large part for the reduced expansion in October at banks outside leading cities," the board's monthly bulletin commented. NEVERTHELESS, the slowdown in bank loans to business was cited as the "most striking of recent bank credit developments." "The increase in business loans in October and November was less than one-third that shown in the same months in previous postwar j-ears," the bulletin said. It added that one reason was that businesses were getting an "increased volume of funds from other sources" using part of their "record high profits" for capital and borrowing more from insurance companies. THE INSURAN'CE companies, in turn, raised money for business loans by selling Government securities to Federal Reserve banks a policy which' the board has hinted may lead it to ask Congress for regulatory powers over insurance company lending. The board report noted that New York City bank loans to business increased less than in October and November, compared to $600,000,000 in those months of 1947.

Financial Shorts The Standard of Detroit Group of insurance companies announced its 1949 training class for agents and employes, starting Jan. 24. The class will cover a course of 13 weeks. It will continue the policy of an annual training school for agents and field representatives. The Group is considering expanding the school for persons other than agents.

M. J. Pierce, manager of the educational department, will supervise the study. The Advertising Federation of America announced the election to membership of Luckoff, Way-burn and Frankel, of Detroit. The steady increase of General Motors stockholders since 1937 appears to have hit a plateau, with a very slight fourth-quarter dropoff.

Angus Dun, Bishop of Washing- Court Puts Flint Chief Back on Job Special to the Free Presa FLINT Circuit Judge George B. Hartrick, of Pontiac, puled that the firing of Flint Police Chief James T. Byars last June by Mayor Edward J. Viall was ille- 3.1 City Manager Harold Kinder said he will order Byars restored to duty as soon as he receives the ruling. BYARS will be eligible for full pay for the five months he was under suspension and for the six months since his discharge.

Judge Hartrick heard the case on Byars' appeal Irom a Civil Service Commission decision upholding his discharge. The judge ruled on a technicality without going into the merits of the dismissal. He held that Viall, then acting as city manager, had exceeded his authority in ordering the firing. KIXDER'S elevation to city manager came almost simultaneously with the ruling on Byars. It had the effect of restoring the chief to duty under a man who was his subordinate when he was fired.

Kinder was acting chief of police before he took the oath of office as city manager Monday afternoon. He had been a lieutenant in charge of the Traf- fic Engineering Bureau under Byars. The court ruling apparently ended a year-long upheaval in which the city has had three managers or acting managers and three police heads since last January. FREE ON BOND 'Hero' Finds Valor Goes Unappreciated A man who wanted to play hero when his home burned was referred to the psychiatric clinic Monday by Recorder's Judge Paul E. Krause.

Patrolman Claude LaCroix said Reid Champion, 23, of 1265 Solvay, insisted on rushing into his burning house three times last Thursday to rescue his brother, who was not in the building. POLICE AXD firemen had to pull him out each time, LaCroix testified. On the way to the police station, LaCroix had to sit on Champion's chest to keep him still, he reported. Champion pleaded guilty to being drunk and disorderly and was put on $500 bond pending sentence Jan. 6.

4-Year Terms for County Officers Asked James N. McNally, defeated after a two-year term as Wayne County prosecutor, thinks the term for County officers should be four years. In a letter he urged Gov. Elect G. Mennen Williams to ask the Legislature for a law providing for four-year terms on' a non-partisan ballot for all county officials.

McXALLY WAS swept out of office by Gerald K. O'Brien in the Wayne County Democratic landslide last November. McNally contends that a nonpartisan election would assure victory for "the best man for the office." McNally also told Williams he would favor giving State officers four-year terms, but ignored the nonpartisan angle in selecting the top state officials.
