United Press International WASHINGTON — Despite stubbornly high interest rates, Americans took out $ 1.18 billion in new loans in April — the largest amount since the $3 bil lion increase in borrowing last September. The strongest category was revolving credit, typical of credit card and department store accounts, up $499 million, fol lowed by automobile credit, up $233 million, the Federal Re serve said Tuesday. Many of these loans had in terest rates of more than 17 per cent, and analysts say rates won’t come down until Congress pas ses a deficit-cutting budget. On Capitol Hill Tuesday, Congress was still trying to reach a spending plan. House Republicans agreed on a package that would impose deeper cuts in food stamps and welfare and keep the deficit be low $100 billion.

At the hearing, Phyllis Schlaf- ly said the ERA would send the nation’s “darling daughters” to war. The House convened Tues- as a Committee of the Whole to hear testimony on the ERA, advancing it to the voting stage. But no vote on the sensitive poli tical issue was expected soon in Illinois — considered a key state for passage by the June 30 dead line. Approval by three more states is needed. ERA backers charged the appearance of Cov. James R. Thompson before the special House session was nothing more than a “media show” as more than 1,000 people gathered at the Capitol to hear testimony. Thompson, accused of being only a rhetorical ERA supporter by feminists, said Abraham Lin coln would approve of the amendment. Watching the proceeding from the gallery were seven women who have been on a hun ger strike since May 17 for the ERA and who have received ex tensive media coverage since the start of their fast. Two of the fasters who collapsed Monday listened from reclining wheel chairs. Two ERA supporters wrap ped in chains were carried out of the Capitol by secretary of state police officers — one of them handcuffed and thrown out twice. Neither was arrested. The women were among 15 ERA backers ousted from the Capitol Monday after spending four days chained in the Senate chamber. Thompson told legislators Lincoln “would have not the slightest bit of trouble” approv- ing the ERA. Illinois is known as the “Land of Lincoln.” “He (Lincoln) would, in fact, have wondered why we had not done it long ago and moved on,” said the Republican governor who is seeking reelection. “We put so much pressure on Thompson he had to come here and do a media show of his own,” Mary Jean Collins, execu tive director of the Chicago Na tional Organization for Women, said after the hearing. Schlafly, leader of StopERA, called the amendment a fraud and “the greatest takeaway of rights in history.” She said the amendment could send 18-year- old girls to war.

THE SUMMER’S BEST MOVIE. NEWSWEEK BT ^ the Extra-Terrestrial A UNIVERSAL PICTURE side was confident predict passage, plan that would produce a slightly higher deficit, fully fund Medicare and bolster social programs. Neither enough to however. On Wall Street Tuesday, where anxiety mounted over Congress’ inability thus far to pass a budget, the Dow Jones industrial average fell 1.80 points to 802.23 — the lowest level since it hit 795.85 on March 17. Private economist Lacy Hunt, however, drew encouragement from the lending figures. “I think this good gain in con sumer credit is consistent with some other indicators that point to a consumer-led recovery that is now emerging,” said Hunt, of Fidelity Bank in Philadelphia. The consumer installment credit figures are watched by economists as much for what they say about trends of con sumer confidence as for the dol lar totals. Mortgage lending is not included in the totals. * "a a* • • “different spokes for different folks” 403 University (Northgate) Open 10-7 Mon.-Fri. 10-5 Sat. 846-BIKE Gene Gilda Wilder Badimr SOMBTHING FVNNY’S GOING ON HERE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * CAMPUS THEATRE SUMMER SPECIAL Thursday through Sunday All tickets $ 1 50 Closed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday PG * * 4- :> % * ‘t# Z* > > :> ■> * 4- * > + * * * NOW SHOWING S ! -MX SUMMER FILM SOUS' i June 10 DRAG0NSLAYER (1981, rated PG) ; A sorcerer's young apprentice (Peter Mac- Nicol) must save a Middle Ages English village from the evil red dragon Vermithrax Pejoritave You'll believe in flying, tire j breathing dragons alter this lilm.
