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. -

At Board
Mrs. Ann Todd Tuesday
continued her feud with Eagle

of the district board of direct

meeting was whether Circuit
Judge Edward C. Kelly's re

an agreeable settlement of the
dispute would be effective.
Judge Kelly in presiding

hearing is on a temporary rer

statement," Mrs: Todd replied
later, "it is all up ' to the
Todds." - - ' .
"This board and Mr. Flury
(Ted Flury, district secretary
manager) will brook no criti

Mrs. Todd charged. "There

to the lack of a printed agenda

However, another of Judge
Kelly's suggestions was the
presence of a parliamentarian
to advise the chairman on
procedural matters, and Day
performed this function Mon
day. "We've had a pretty good

served. Mrs. Todd appeared particu

after which Day offered point-by-point
replies.
