(ACCN) -The extremely vigorous upswing now under way in the nations economy is likely to moderate somewhat during the rest of 1973, in the opinion of three economists from . the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City who spoke to Colorado bankers during a series of economic forums in that state, May At each forum, sponsored by the Bank and the Colorado Bankers Association (CBA), the bankers heard the current economic upswing characterized by broad gains in output, sales, and employment, but with disturbingly large price in- creases at the wholesale and con- levels.

Dr. Davis noted that the present goal of Federal Reserve policy and the Governments fiscal policy is to slow down the growth of real output to a pace more sustainable over the longer run. "Without such policies, he said, "upward pressures on wages and prices would intensify and serious imbalances would develop in the money and capital markets. To prevent such adverse developments, the Federal Reserve is now pursuing 3 less expansionary policy, as Seated by the moderation in the fate of growth in the money supply, n recent months. .A highly optimistic farm income picture clouded- with some im-DPliant question marks was sketched for the bankers by Dr. Harshbarger. While it may seem improbable, he said, 1973 could be a better year for farmers than 1972. Last year, net farm income rose nearly 20 per cent above isf71 and went over the $19 billion mark for the first time.

Such prototype malfunctions,2 though irrelevent, may leave a lasting adverse impression on the jury. One way of avoiding this prbblem, Hart suggests, is to videotape the functioning of the actual product or an exact duplicate. Through this process, the jury is actually able to witness the precise operation which may be at issue. He cites the case of Zollman'v. Symington Wayne Corp., videotape as as an use of demonstrative evidence. By showing a videotape of experiments conducted with the product in question, the defense successfully demonstrated that the testimony of the plaintiff's expert was contrary to physical facts and scientific principles. The author summarizes his case in favor of videotape as follows: ". . . Videotape is clearly admissible under Federal Rule 30, provided the proper foundation is laid. . . The machinery involved in videotaping is compact, highly mobile and easily operated. The equipment, including both camera and viewing device, costs about $1,500. A one hour videotape, which may be reused, costs about $40. The future of videotape is a means of presenting demonstrative evidence appears unlimited.

"Current projections point to farm 'ncome above WO billion this year, due largely to the sharp advance in livestock prices earlier this year as well as the prospects of another year of strong foreign sales, he said. "However, this estimate is hardly a sure thing, he cautioned. "If demand should fall off unex- pectedly, larger supplies will likely put farm prices into a tailspin before yearend, causing net income to fall. Thus, we should be somewhat wary in assessing the outlook for 1973, especially since production costs be sharply higher than last year and Government payments are likely to be sharply lower, Dr. Harshbarger indicated. Speaking on the state of the economy in the afternoon lead-of- f session, Dr. Stahl noted that the economys present strength reflects the ongoing strong momentum of activity seen during much of 1972. The outlook for all of 1973 suggests considerable further real gains in output, employment, and income, although the pattern of advance during the year is likely to be marked by declining rates of gain in real growth. "At file same time, concern over price and wage developments probably will intensify. Both the recent behavior of the major price indexes and the uncertainties surrounding the effectiveness of Phase 3 controls underscore the seriousness of the. inflation problem, he said, Visible progress in restraining price inflation is a crucial prerequisite to moderating the rise in wage costs, Dr. Stahl indicated, in light of the extensive collective bargaining scheduled for 1973. Despite the outlook for sub- stantial economic gains for the year as a whole, serious problems of inflation and the longer-terdurability of the present economic boom will concern economic will m policymakers. . Dr. Stahl asserted that excessive outlook concern over the short-term business has turned our attention from, a more important consideration: the behavior of our which institutions economic economic a generate particular outcome. In this connection, he urged fundamental and corrective actions to improve the operation of the marketplace and to enhance the economys competitiveness. "Controls might' have an appropriate role to play in certain instances, he agreed, "but their growing acceptance by large segments of the business community and the public generally suggests a reluctance to address ourselves to the fundamental causes, rather than simply treating the outward symptoms of our economic problems." for far-reachi- ng I |
