Their assessment is popular a mong government analysts out side the White House too, al Addresses Lillington Rotary Gilmore Optimistic On States Future Islington Rotary Club held its "annual Christmas party at the Hickory House in Sanford.

The General Accounting Office (GAO) said its check of subma rine flotillas stationed in South l Carolina and California indicated : that )1 million In hazardous duty pay was going to officers and men who did not qualify for It.

The au (Continued on Page Six) though some do not rule out the possibility of either a boom or a recession. Overall, there Is less certainty about the business picture than there was a year ago when the chief question was how far and how fast the economy would ad vance after the tax cut. Johnson’s Council of Economic Advisors Is making Its plans on the assumption that U. S. pro duction will grow about 4 per cent in 1965 compared to about 5 per cent In 1964. Chairman Gardner Ackley de scribed this rate of expansion as “excellent . . . but not one that has us jumping for Joy.” He said a 4 per cent growth is not enough to reduce unemployment, eat in to unused plant capacity or ex pand profits. Why The Slowdown Whv the expected slowdown in 1965? “We’ve just about had it (the lift) from the tas cut,” was how one highly-placed analyst put it. Although the tax cut’s final in stallment goes into effect in 1965, the withholding rate on wage earn ers fell the full distance last spring. '1 Thus the feeling in the coun cil is that little more in the way of a boost to .consumer spending can be expected from that source. Excise tax reduction, promised by President Johnson for 1965, is counted on to do little more than offset a possible letdown after consumers have made up the auto purchases they missed during the fall strike.
