Recession Puzzles Officialdom By James Marlow
Washington analysts describe the recession as a hesitant march with both Eisenhower supporters and Congress blaming each other for inaction. President Eisenhower avoids tax cuts while economists dispute the recession’s direction. Figures from Weeks and Johnson reveal unemployment remains high, raising questions about timing a cut or inaction. Meany calls for unemployment relief and tax cuts, while the administration resists. One more month may reveal the economy’s true direction as the “little green man” struggles to show the path forward.
