Upturn predicted after record GNP drop in 1975 quarter
Brookings economist Okun said the slide is not an avalanche but a recession and that a recovery is possible later this year. GNP fell 10.4 percent in the first quarter due to a 35 billion drop in inventories while inflation eased to 8 percent. Home costs fell as rates eased and a 6 billion public works bill seeks 900000 jobs despite a Ford veto threat.
