The coupons can be used all at once, e.g. ten people can use one book for one show; or the cou- pons can be used individually. r',JM M1 (Continued from Page 1) fers when he said, "The Ameri- can people ... want us to take those actions I believe that fall within the middle ground of the spectrum." Okun said that "at least half expressed the opinion we have reached or are rapidly ap- proaching the time for a change" in the tight moneyj policy.I THE ECONOMISTS are "not talking about easy money," Okun- said, but rather about a reduction of the restraint that has produced record high in-' terest rates.' There were several distinct1 dissents to the monetary policy relaxation, but Okun said the "breadth of agreement ... was striking to me." Some of the economists urged tax increases, others called for tax cuts. Almost all agreed the line should be held on federal spending, but there was a split on exactly where cuts should come. FORD OPENED the meeting by telling the panel the Ameri- can people want the unvarnish- ed truth about inflation and "they are sick and tired of having.politics played with their pocketbooks." A possible indication of Ford's approach to the nation's eco- nomic problems came in his spontaneous response to an economist's suggestion that the country needs "positive think- ing.' After Walter Hoadley of the Bank of America called for up- beat thinking to counter "a lack of confidence in the future," Ford volunteered the opinion that Americans can't indulge in positive thinking unless they first have the truth. SAYING HE wanted "the un- varnished thruth on the table" at the meeting, the President said he was confident the people would respond positively if they got it. At the first of a dozen sessions leading up to a Sept. 27-28 sum- mit conference on inflation, a consensus emerged among eco- nomic experts that a depression is unlikely to develop but that output is apt to be flat, sluggish or even down a bit over the next 18 months. A sizeable number of con- ference participants represent- ing business, finance, labor and the academic profession--all of them professional economists- also called for a gradual easing of the Federal Reserve Board's tight money policy that has pro- duced record-high interest rates. MANY OF them conservatives as well as liberals, also recom- mended that serious considera- tion be given to a public service employment program in antici- pation of an early rise in jobless- EACH BOOK CAN BE USED FOR THE FOLLOWING POWER CENTER SHOWS: ness. 3 At the Capitol, Senate Demo- crats put Ford on notice that they are ready to keep Congress. in session for the rest of the year to deal with the economic, problems. At the same time, their leaders said it is up to the White House to make a specific move if any action is to be taken this year. Ford opened the day-long meeting in the East Room of the White House, broadcast live over public television and radio. "OUR PURPOSE," he said "is to find ways by which we, the American people, can come to grips with our economic dif- ficulties and surmount them." Declaring that "people under- stand economics very, very well and they are sick and tired of having politics played with their pocketbooks," Ford said: "These meetings are not going to be empty exercises in eco- nomic rhetoric. Neither are they going to reveal any quick mira-. cles. There is no quick fix for what ails our economy . "BUT BEFORE this confer- ence ends, I Mould like to see and to have set before the American people a consistent and considered package of the most promising answers that you can find." Where experts disagree on solutions, he said, "it will be necessary for the President and the Congress to make some very hard decisions."~ The President also described UM Stylists Open 8:30-5:15 p.m. on.-Sat. UM UNION inflation as a worldwide epi- demic. Arthur Okun, one of Lyndon Johnson's economic ad- visers, appeared to speak for a majority in saying of the eco- nomic outlook, "Recession yes, depression emphatically no." FORMER Treasury Secretary George Shultz said he thought the nation was "at or approach- ing the point where we should gradually ease monetary policy" established by the Federal Re- serve Board. Among those who agreed were Paul McCracken, an economic adviser to former President Richard Nixon; Carl Madden of the U.S. Chamber of Com- merce; Norma Pace of the American Paper Institute; David Grove of IBM, and Okun. A number of the economists expressed opposition to wage- price controls or guidelines at this time, but Robert Nathan, a Washington economic consul- tant, said "I think we're going to have to have direct inter- vention" by the federal govern- ment, possibly including con- trols. HENDRICK Houthakker of Harvard said "we cannot be happy with the present struc- ture" of the auto industry and suggested government might in- tervene perhaps through exer- cise of its antitrust functions to make it more competitive. Budget restraint was generally applauded and there was much talk of trying to increase the productivity of the work force. A number of the economilsts suggested tight money was cur- tailing investment in expanded Iproduction facilities. Shultz, who left government only a few months ago, produced one of the relatively few' laughs of the day when he opened his remarks by saying: "The economy is in terrible shape and I wish you guys in Sgovernment would do something about it."
