Weeks predicts best US year with inflation under control
Secretary of Commerce Sinclair Weeks told a National Press Club luncheon that this year will be the best economically for the United States if inflation is controlled. He cited a 5.1 percent rise in output to 431 billion dollars annual rate in the first half, but a Commerce report warned some of that gain reflected higher prices rather than real activity. Personal income rose to 340 billion, up 8 percent, while consumer spending advanced 3 percent to 277 billion for the first half.
