THRU SUN., SEPT. 3U-UCT 3, 1t>2 IN BilYAii/C B S, WE ACCiPf mue> SYAMP €m¥><ms\ United Pressi InterniTtional NEW YORK ■*— Consumers who have a large enough income to lead the economy out of reces sion are holding off buying big ticket items waiting for prices to come down further, a leading consumer survey shows. “A large percentage of the nation’s more affluent house holds are postponing purchases of big ticket items, including cars, on speculation that, prices will come down,” said Albert E. Sindlinger, who heads a widely followed consumer research firm based in Media, Pa. . “This new trend that we call ‘reverse hedging’ has come out of nowhere.” Sindlinger said. “And it will keep a lid on any hopes for an economic re covery.” Sindlingers confidence sur veys, which base the replies on actual liquidity and job security, break the population into two segments he calls stockholders, those who own some stock, and non-stockholders. There is a wide gap between them. More than 6S percent of the stockholders are confident ab out the economy and their own futures, compared to less than 20 percent of the nonstockhol der group. The non-stockholders, roughly two-thirds of the house holds in the country, are hurting badly. They’ve absorbed the bulk of unemployment and there are tremendous fears that more jobs will be lost, he said. Despite government figures on inflation, they still feel the inflationary bite, lie said. “Prices on necessities in the consumer price index — utilities, rent, ser vices and medical care, for ex ample — still are going up. “Taxes haven’t abated. Social Security and state and local taxes, especially property taxes, have gone through the roof,” he said. This puts largely lower- income and blue-collar workers in a squeeze, he said. The stockholder group, on the other hand, composed of the other one-third of households, is “a very distinct group. Not all are wealthy, but by and large it’s an affluent, sophisticated, edu cated group, and generally in cludes the upper-income seg ment of the population,” he said. These consumers have been relatively unharmed by the. bad economy. “They’re the only ones that have money to spend and if there is to be any cohsuniK er-ied recovery it’s going to come from this group, he said;: “But they’re telling us that % contrary to the 70s when they bought to beat price increases, whether or not they needed ah; item, they’re now postponing; purchases waiting for prices to come down.” “They’re playing a real wait*; ing game, and it’s going to pro-; long the slump at the retail; level,” Sindlinger said. Racial prejudice in federal courts? United Press International RICHMOND — The Virginia NAACP wants an investigation into an assistant U.S. attorney’s allegations that federal court sentencing is based on race, an official said. Allegations two weeks ago by Assistant U.S. Attorney David Baugh should be investigated by Harrison Winter, chief judge of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, state NAACP execu tive director Jack Gravely said Monday. Baugh angered U.S. Judge D. Dortch Warriner during a Sept. 13 sentencing hearing for a former goid-and-silver dealer convicted of fraud and given a 10-year sentence. A Baugh expressed concern ab out how white collar criminals were sentenced. He suggested tot Warriner that “the color of the collar is not the key.” When Warriner asked if Baugh, who is black, was sugA gesting that the court sentenced on race, the assistant prosecutor; said: “Yes, your honor.” Last week, Baugh was trans-- ferred off some of his cases in what a Justice Department; spokesman said “could be con-r strued as a disciplinary matter.” “There is a strong perception in the community that Baugh has done nothing wrong,” Gravely said.
