Thursday, September 22,1983/The Battalion/Page 15 j NP at ‘all time high’ United Press International [WASHINGTON — The don’s gross national pro- ct is surging at a strong 7 rcent rate in the current arter on top of its 9.7 per il April-June burst of eed, the government pro- :ted Wednesday. In addition, the fun- mental inflation rate still is inking, the Commerce De- rtment’s Bureau of Econo- |ic Analysis said. The department’s tentative first look at the July- September health of the eco nomic recovery, dubbed its “flash” report since it is based on partial data, confirmed the best expectations of econom ists in and out of government. The latest back-to-back quarterly jumps, following a weak first quarter and the 1981-82 recession, are lifting the U.S. output of goods and services to an all-time high even after inflation is sub tracted, Commerce Secretary Malcolm Baldrige said. The continuation of a strong economic recovery in the third quarter “puts the value of U.S. production of goods and services 1.7 percent above the previous peak reached in the third quarter of 1981,” Baldrige said, mak ing up for the recession’s damage and then some. The GNP figures indicate “we are on a path of economic vitality we can sustain,” depu ty White House press secret ary Larry Speakes said. The broad GNP inflation measure, known as the “impli cit price deflator,” is growing at an annual rate of only 3.2 percent rate in the third quar ter, even less than the moder ate 3.3 percent rate in the second quarter, government analysts said.

It ed Mrs. Boleman would nev- be able to have a normal life in, noNS against Lucas, who currently is being held in Texas on five mur der charges there. The State Attorney’s office will decide if there is sufficient evidence to ask a Duval County grand jury to indict Lucas on first-degree murder charges. State Attorney Ed Austin said one of the unsolved slayings being considered for grand jury action is the death of Regina Azell Campbell, 24, the grand daughter of Neptune Beach Police Chief Howard C. Basil. Campbell was found strang led onjuly 12, 1980, under a car near the Basil house, where she had been staying. She was seen leaving a local lounge earlier that night in the company of an unidentified male. In the next two weeks, Booth said he will ask the grand jurors to indict Lucas as a co-defendant in the 1982 death of a 64-year-, old man who died from injuries in a boarding house fire. The grand jury already has indicted Ottis Elwood Toole, 36, on first-degree murder and first-degree arson charges stem ming from the Jan. 4, 1982, death of Nicholas Sonneberg in that fire. Booth said Lucas implicated Toole in Sonneberg’s death and Lucas is suspected of assisting Toole in that slaying. Toole is currently serving time at a Flor ida prison for an unrelated arson conviction. United Press International AKRON, Ohio — The jury deciding whether to convict a medical doctor of 21 rapes and 39 other criminal charges or ac- 3 uit him by reason of insanity eliberated for more than six hours Wednesday without reaching a verdict. In its first full day of trying to determine the fate of Dr. Ed ward Jackson Jr., of Columbus, Ohio, an internist and father of two teenage daughters, the Summit County Common Pleas jury asked one question — the definition of the word “re leased.” In two kidnapping counts against Jackson, 39, the jury must decide if the defendant re leased victims in a safe place un harmed. If the panel finds he did, seriousness of the charge would drop from a first- to second-degree felony. The seven-man, five-woman jury, which received the case late Tuesday after a 21-day trial, was scheduled to resume its deliber ations Thursday. Jackson, who spent Wednes- day in his jail cell reading the Bible, has pleaded innocent by reason of insanity to the charges. That admission, plus testi mony from seven mental health experts who said Jackson was dangerous, prompted visiting Columbus Judge Frederick Wil liams to revoke Tuesday the $300,000 bond that has kept Jackson out of jail since his arrest a year ago. William Jackson of Col umbus, who is not related to the doctor but has strikingly similar looks, was freed from an Ohio prison last year where he spent five years after being wrongly convicted of rape. The doctor later was accused in the case. Jackson sent a letter during his first day in jail to the State Medical Board, turning in his license to practice medicine. z o CL D O O I I -COUPON GAMES fjofote- BUY 4 game tokens GET 4 game tokens FREE Limit 1 per customer per day Void 10/31/81 Culpepper Plaza 693-7711 "I I B O o c ■o o NOdnOO-———— Central Texas Hardware Welcome Back Aggie Sale ROACH PRUFE ORDER LESS, NON-STAINING POWDER IS EASILY APPLIED WITH A TEASPOON UNDER KITCHEN APPLIANCES, IN CORNER OF SHELVES, ETC.
