At the same time, the labor department reported productivity of the private economy as measured by output per man hour increased at a relatively slow annual rate of 1.7 per cent in the second quarter of this year. The administration has been counting on productivity increases in excess of 4 per cent to spur the economy without producing more inflation. The Commerce Departments regular survey of consumer buying plans showed that the number of families which said they were planning to buy a new car within the next six months was 10 per cent lower in the most recent survey than it was last April. The report also showed a four per cent ebb in the number of households planning to buy a new home. The number of families that reported they expect substantial increases in income dropped from 19.9 per cent in April to 17 per cent this month. The survey also showed the number of major appliances likely to be purchased within the next 12 months declined from 26.1 per 100 households in April to 24.1 per 100 households in July. Expectations for the purchase of furniture and carpets declined from 28.4 per 100 households In April to 24.4 In July. Both reports were considered a administration for setback economic strategists who had been hoping for productivity increases and for an upsurge in consumer buying. The productivity growth in the non-farsector of the economy was m somewhat less than for the total economy but the 2.8 per cent rate was well below the 3.2 per cent productivity growth considered normal for the economy and was even farther below the growth usually recorded when the economy is pulling out of a slump. Law Dean Finds Overemphasis On Advocacy NEW YORK (ACCN) - The new dean of Columbia Universitys school of law says the nations law schools are ignoring a basic lawyers skill how to bring people A $1.5 million apartment complex By Daniel K. Cunningham Daily Record Columnist An apartment complex will change the skyline of the 4th South curve near 1050 East. Some 125 apartments in three buildings and recreation facilities will replace the 11 homes now on the site, announced E. Keith Lignell and Burton M. Todd of Salt Lake City. Because of the slope, even on ground level you have as nice a view as you would in a high rise," said Mr. Lignell, adding that the buildings will range from three to five stories high.

Richard Huss of Ron Molen & Associates is the architect. He said shingles and brick siding somewhat similar to the Shaughnessy in style will be utilized. Pacific Mutual Finances A swimming pool and recreation building with a therapy room, exercise room and locker facilities are also included in the project. Mr. Lignell valued the project at $1.5 million, with Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co. providing both interim and permanent financing. Richard S.

"In a world increasingly polarized, he says, it is ironic that the one buic lawyer's skill usually ignored by legal education is how to bring people together. When a conviction has been affirmed, a mandate is necessary in Illinois as in other jurisdictions to compel the defendant to begin serving his sentence. Frequently, however, convicted defendants seek further appeal. When doing so, they request the court to stay the mandate until their appeal finally is decided. That enables them to remain at liberty on bond for an additional time, frequently more than a year. At present, stays are routinely granted over the objection of the states attorney. Hanrahan proposes that the Illinois Supreme Court adopt a rule similar to Rule 21 of the U.S. Court of Appeals for th 7th Circuit. That rule provides as follows: Whereas an increasingly large number of unsuccessful petitions for certiorari have been filed in the Supreme Court from this circuit in i recent years, in the interests of minimizing unnecessary delay in the administration of justice, mandate will not be stayed hereafter simply upon request. On the contrary, mandate will issue pursuant to Rule 41(a) of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure except upon a showing, or an independent determination by the Court, of probable cause to believe that a petition would not be frivolous, or filed merely for delay. Citing several cases, Hanrahan asserts adoption of such a rule would facilitate the administration of justice. |
