4 mic :Grov7th;i.Govani ists;Assert Total Output of Goods, Services Said Unchanged Washington HCPD- Govern ment economists said today the iteel strike stopped the nation's 0overall economic growth in the past three months and even may have caused a small setback. They , tentatively estimated that the total output of goods and servies in July,1' August and September remained at the $184,500,000,000 annual rate posted in the previous three months. But some late figures on inventories may show that the economy ac tually slid backward from the fpril-May-June level. Refrain From Guessing These calculations were more pessimistic than earlier o forecasts made on the assump tion that the steel strike would not last more than two months. This is the 85th day of the strike. The economists refrained from guessing how the econ omy might perform in the last three months of this year, other than to say it definitely would forge ahead once the steel mills resumed operating. Earlier confidence that steel and steel using industries could make up for the strike with brisk October-November-December activity was miss ing. Some officials said that if President Eisenhower used the Taft-Hartley Act to send the 500,000 striking ' steel workers back to work for 80 days, the overall " damage would be kept down. Catch Up in 1960 Others said that even with use of the Taft-Hartley law some of the lost production could not be made up until early I960.; A national production rate of $500 billion a year, once considered an outside . possi bility for. the close . of this year, now. appeared, delayed at least until 1960. Commerce Secretary Fred erick Muller said in a New York speech the high rate would be achieved early next year "unless the effects of the prolonged steel strike upset the apple cart." Some econ omists said the- $500 billion rate would not be reached be fore March. ' Others pointed out that most of the production lost by the steel strike quickly would w be made up. Many industries, especially steel and autos, have excess capacity and can step " up production for a while. - JCO EXCEPTIONS Mobile, Ala. - (LTD - City Building Inspector Clifford W.
