WASHINGTON ) - Inflation
soared to an annual rate of 6 per
cent and the country's economy
spurted to near-record levels dur-
ing the first quarter of the year,
the government reported yester-
day.
Economists warned that there
are signs the economy is over-
heating and will have to be slowed
down.
The gross national product -
the total value of the country's out-
put of goods and services - in-
creased a record $40 billion from
January through March to an an-
nual growth rate of 14.3 per cent.
The GNP is increasing at a sea-
sonally adjusted annual rate of
$1.235 trillion, the report said, com-
pared to $1.164 trillion at the end
of 1972.
Consumers were both buying
more and paying more, the figures
showed; and a top government
economist said the United States
was experiencing inflation under
conditions of very strong demand.
The economist, Chairman Her-
bert Stein of the President's Coun-
cil of Economic Advisers, called restraining inflation, and it could

FILMS FOR FINAL WEEK
Fri., Apr. 20 BELLE DE JOUR
Dir. Luis Bunuel, 1966. (French, subtitles). With Bunuel (Tristana Vir-
diana) having just won the National Society of Film Critic's Directoriol
Award and about to receive the Academy Award for The Discreet Charm
of the Bourgeoise, we thought we'd bring back Bunuel's finest film. Cath-
erine Deneve plays a frigid wife who turns to prostitution in the afternoon
to conquer her sexual fears. Many surrealistic freudian dream sequences
filled with ships, masochism, sadism, fantasies-which are dreamt'and
which are real?
Sat. & Sun., Apr. 21, 22 TH E SI L ENCE
Dir. Ingmar Bergman, 1964. (Swedish, subtitles). Stars Ingrid Thulin and
Gunuel Lindblom. Inability to communicate is one of Bergman's favorite
themes. Two sisters arrive in a large city in which a strange language is
spoken. They choose different ways to express their sexuality. Choices:
promiscuity, masturbation, incest, lesbianism, reproduction.
Wed., Apri. 25 PAMELA AND IAN.
Dir, David Greene, 1971. Ann Arbor made film about a bisexual love tri-
angle. Well received when we showed it here a couple of years ago.
Thur. & Fri., Apr. 26,27 SHADOW OF DOUBT
Dir. Alfred Hitchcock, 1943. Stars Joseph Cotton, Teresa Wright, Hume
Cronyn. Screenplay by Thorton Wilder. Hitchcock's personal favorite among
his films, although rarely seen in Ann Arbor. Study of a teenager's attach-
ment to her Merry Widow Killer Uncle-one of Hitchcock's most terrifying
films.
Short: Betty Boop, M.D.
Sat. & Sun., Apr. 28, 29 NIGHT AT THE OPERA
Dir. Sam Wood, 1935. The Marx Brothers get into the Opera business-
with Margaret Dumont as the patron of the arts. Unforgettable sea cruising
crowded cabin scene. Produced by Irving G. Thalberg for MGM.
Short: T.V. Goofs.
