Bright economic outlook adviser predicts postwar prosperity
Leon H. Keyserling, chair of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, voiced optimism at the White House that the nation stands at a peak of postwar prosperity and that the future business outlook is good. He dismissed recent price upswing as not signaling inflation, while Treasury Secretary Snyder warned inflation controls may be needed. Building materials rose about 4 percent as home building and auto sales led demand. Non durable goods output remained near late 1949 levels.
