NEW YORK (AP) — Major banks
are raising their prime lending rates
in response to broad financial pres
sures that signal interest rates have
bottomed out for the near term on
loans ranging from home mortgages
to credit cards, analysts said
Wednesday.
Several of the nation’s biggest
banks increased their prime lending
rate to 7.75 percent from 7.5 per
cent Wednesday, following the pre
vious day’s increases by New York’s
Citibank and Chase Manhattan
Bank.
The prime — a benchmark used
to set interest on a variety of cor
porate and consumer credit — had
been 7.5 percent since Aug. 26. The
jump to 7.75 percent was the first
since banks raised the prime to 13
percent from 12.5 percent in June
1984.
The major pressures to boost the
prime rate come from prospects of
higher inflation and from the rise in
short-term interest rates over the
past several months, which has in
creased the banks’ cost of borrowing
in the money markets.
The sharp fall of the dollar has
been a major factor in the rise in
short-term rates. A weak dollar re
duces the returns on dollar-denomi-
nated assets for foreign investors,
who then seek to offset the drop
with higher rates from banks that
borrow billions in the global money
markets.
“This (prime increase) is not nec
essarily a judgment by money center
banks that rates are going to go up
on a sustained basis,” said William
Sullivan, director of money market
research for Dean Witter Reynolds
Inc.
“It’s more of a recognition of the
reality of rising rates” caused by the
recent instability of the dollar, Sulli
van said.
Rates also have risen on specu
lation that the Federal Reserve
might push interest rates higher to
encourage dollar-buying in the mar
kets, although many economists dis
count that possibility for the near fu
ture.
The major banks also face profit
pressures because of their loans to
Third World countries. The banks,
which have billions of dollars in out
standing loans to developing na
tions, have been refinancing much
of the credit at lower interest rates in
the face of possible default by the
debtors.
At the same time, the trade dis
pute between the United States and
Japan has increased speculation that
the dollar would fall further and
Congress would enact protectionist
legislation, both of which threaten to
boost inflation and, in turn, interest
rates.

WASHINGTON
sands of farmers
means to bypass the $50,000 limit on
federal subsidies in a trend that
could cost taxpayers more than $1
billion through 1989, government
investigators said Wednesday.
Lawmakers said that while the
31,000 individuals likely to reshape
financial operations to skirt the limit
through 1989 represent only a few
bad apples among the 2.2 million
U.S. farmers, the budgetary impact
already has been significant.
Calls for loophole-closing legis
lation accompanied a report from
the General Accounting Office, a
watchdog for Congress that esti
mated reshaped farming operations
have cost taxpayers an extra $328
million since 1984.
Farm lawmakers said the trend
could mean reopening the 1985
Farm Act under pressure from ur
ban congressmen in the name of fis
cal restraint.
The Reagarl administration and
many lawmakers pin hopes for revi
talization of the farm economy on
the 1985 law’s stress on stimulating
exports through admittedly expen
sive subsidies. This year’s program
carries an estimated $26 billion price
tag.
Rep. Dan Glickman, D-Kan., told
the House subcommittee on wheat,
soybeans and feedgrains it had au
thority not only over those commo
dities but over “another commodity
— and that may be the most impor
tant of all — and that is political in
tegrity.”
“Unless we can demonstrate to
our colleagues who would cut these
programs in favor of their own that
our house is in order, we must in
deed worry about these pressures,”
Glickman said.
Rep. Arlan Stangeland, R-Minn.,
urged lawmakers to make sure that a
minority of farmers are not just
draining the treasury.
GAO representatives demon
strated various means used to avert
the $50,000 ceiling on so-called defi
ciency payments made by the Agri
culture Department to those who
participate in the farm program, in
cluding setting up dummy corpora
tions and family trusts.
But they qualified that such re
structuring represented the ex
tremes and not the norm. They did
say minor children have in some
cases been made partners with their
parents to obtain extra $50,000 pay
ments.
Deficiency payments are made on
a “per person” basis and thus a
farmer who brings in his son as a
partner can double the amount of
the payment without any increase in
production.
In the past, federal price supports
have at times in effect set the U.S.
market price. These supports were
lowered under the 1985 legislation
to reduce the market price and thus
make U.S. farm goods more compet
itive abroad.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Gen.
Carl E. Vuono, head of the Army’s
Training and Doctrine Command,
will be nominated by President Rea
gan to become the service’s next
chief of staff, the White House says.
The White House announced the
decision on Tuesday, at the same
time the Pentagon disclosed that Ft.
Gen. Frederick F. Woerner Jr. had
been tapped to receive his fourth
star and take over the sensitive U.S.
Southern Command in Panama, the
joint U.S. military organization re
sponsible for all American forces de
ployed in Central America.
Pentagon sources had earlier dis
closed the 52-year-old Vuono had
won the endorsement of Defense
Secretary Caspar W. Weinberger
and was virtually assured of becom
ing the Army’s top military officer
this summer.
Vuono will succeed Gen. John A.
Wuckham Jr., who by law must re
tire in June after serving four years
as the chief of staff.
Vuono and Woerner, currently
the commander of the Sixth Army in
San Francisco, must both be con
firmed by the Senate before assum
ing their new jobs.
Vuono is a West Point graduate,
artilleryman and Vietnam veteran
who won his fourth star in July 1986
when he assumed his current post.
He is a native of Monongahela, Pa.,
who has gained wide experience in
both field and staff positions.

SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Pope
John Paul II called for the victory of
peace over violence as he arrived
Wednesday in this nation he has
called “dictatorial.” Police used tear
gas to disperse crowds pushing to
ward him.
President Augusto Pinochet, the
leader of Chile’s right-wing military
regime, met the pontiff at the air
port and told him the country is a
victim of a foreign campaign of
“hate, lies and the culture of death.”

Later the police used tear gas to
disperse crowds trying to push past
government cordons. Policemen
ripped away a sign held by a young
man that asked in Spanish, “Holy fa
ther, what is freedom like?”
In his reserved arrival speech
here, he said that despite “current
challenging problems,” he was in
Chile “exclusively on a religious and
pastoral mission.”
John Paul arrived after a 19-hour
visit to Montevideo, Uruguay.
