Economic Experts Clash With Ike on 1954 Outlook
Two prominent economists challenge President Eisenhower’s optimistic 1954 forecast as Senate hearings open. Stanley H. Ruttenberg says manufacturing employment remains well below a year ago despite late upturns, while Leon Keyserling warns 1954 fell short of maximum employment and production and 1955 likely won’t close the gap. Ruttenberg notes a growing economy requires steady expansion. Keyserling doubts affluent growth will curb unemployment and absorb new labor entrants.
