Squires, display man- turer. street side of the Gebhart-Gush- ager, an $800 cash prize from a (Herald-Review Photo) Furniture Price Hike Predicted Chicago, July 12 (AP). Two buyers for organizations representing 1,300 of the nation's leading department stores said today that "most responsible sources" furniture inthine dustry expect a 15 to 20 per cent increase in prices within the next 60 or 90 days.

The buyers who declined use of their names made their assertion while prices of $1,000 and up were being paid for quality living room suites at the annual summer home furnishings show at the Merchandise Mart. They said: "Obviously the price to manufacturers of raw materials and semicomponent parts will have to be increased, but retailers will not see the full effect of this until about the first of the year. "The most responsible sources in the industry expect a 15 to 20 per cent price increase within the next 60 or 90 days, and how much of this will be absorbed and how much passes on to the consumer of course, cannot be foreseen." The first of the year, these sources said "will bring the first real indication of what will be the steady price range."

William Washington, July 12 Russia loomed large in the closing House debate tonight on the three billion, 750 million dollar British loan, as proponents declared the crucial vote Saturday will determine whether the world will look to America or Moscow for leadership. The long debate ended with Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R-Conn) declaring that Britain is "America's buffer state" against aggressionthat "she is the oldest and mostto-be-trusted ally." Previously, the Democratic leader, Rep. John W.

McCormack of Massachusetts, had told the House the whole world would be watching its vote and if America turns to isolationism many nations will enter the orbit of the Soviet Union. Mrs. Luce quoted from a previous speech to the House in which she said Britain serves as a buffer against Russia because Russia could not reach American soil without first passing through or above British territory. On the eve of the crucial decision both sides claimed victory. The first test probably will come on an amendment by Rep.

Everett Dirksen (R-Ill) proposing that Britain put up full security for any funds. The amendment likely will follow suggestions of Jesse Jones, former Commerce secretary, who has termed the credit in its present form a subsidy for the British empire.

Squires, display manager for the Gebhart-Gushard Co. Mr.
