Delay in surcharge raises costs for taxpayers and deficit

Economy Slows Slightly After Strong First Quarter

Washington reports April growth remains solid but eases from March pace. Personal income rose to a record $670 billion annual rate, yet wages slowed due to a 200,000 telephones strike and civil unrest after King assassination. Auto output fell 4 percent to 8.5 million units, with May goals set at 9 million. Overall GNP growth for Q1 revised to $1.4 billion with consumer spending up sharply.
