Economists Predict Slowdown To Clip Inflation In 1969
Four university economists told Congress that the anticipated economic slowdown will modestly temper inflation in 1969. They warned unemployment may rise to about 4.0 to 4.5 percent, up from 3.6 percent in 1968, and supported extending the 10 percent surtax beyond June 30. They endorsed restrained policy by President Nixon's advisers and noted labor hoarding may mask the slowdown as weekly hours fall while layoffs remain limited.

Trawlers Reappear Off Carolina Coast
A Soviet bloc fishing fleet reappeared off the North Carolina coast on Monday. Coast Guard reports say the fleet, split into two groups, was 15 to 25 miles offshore with no vessels within the 12 mile limit. Observations noted six factory ships and about 65 trawlers, plus 19 trawlers and one factory ship 15 miles south of the main group. The spokesman said the distant trawlers did not seem to be fishing while the fleet was seen during routine coastal surveillance.
