Support for ban on nonreturnable containers grows
Federal agencies and U.S. senators show growing backing for proposed guidelines banning nonreturnable beverage containers on federal property. Industry and organized labor oppose, fearing a step toward a nationwide ban. EPA plans to publish guidelines in weeks with a 30 day comment period before final version becomes mandatory on federal property.

Consumer recession shifts blame from industry to households
Donald C. Bauder notes that the 1978-75 recession is a consumer downturn driven by inflation. Unlike postwar slumps, current patterns show reduced spending on housing and durable goods, with auto parts makers reporting a 10 percent drop in earnings per share over the past year after five steady years.

Show Me Attitude Hinders Recovery Optimism
The United States faces a cautious path to recovery as polls show uncertainty among consumers and businessmen. While GDP rose 11.2 percent in Q3 and unemployment sits at 8.3 percent, private spending and new capital outlays remain weak. Investors note savings inflows and mortgage lending but homebuilding stays depressed.
