Economists predict
failing oil prices
will aid U.
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Falling oil
prices will give the United States
stronger economic growth and lower
inflation this year while pushing the
threat of a recession farther into the
future, business economists pre
dicted Monday.
The National Association of Busi
ness Economists said its latest survey
of 300 of its members found them
optimistic about economic growth.
A survey just three months ago
found only 15 percent of the econo
mists thought the current recovery
would last another two years. But
now 37 percent are predicting the
recovery will last until 1988 or be
yond.
Oil, which a month ago was selling
for $25 per barrel on the spot mar
ket, has now dropped below $14 per
barrel.
For 1986, the economists pre
dicted the economy would expand at
a rate of 3 percent, up substantially
from the weak 2.3 percent growth
turned in during 1985.
The survey found the economists
who advise the country’s top cor-
S. growth
porations holding these views on
other issues:
• Inflation will hold steady at a
rate of 4 percent this year, the
fourth straight year of low inflation.
The administration is predicting
consumer prices will rise 3.8 percent
this year.
• Unemployment will remain
about where it is, averaging 7 per
cent at the end of the year.
• The federal budget deficit will
total $180 billion for the fiscal year
that begins in October, substantially
higher than the $144 billion target
called for in the Gramm-Rudman
balanced-budget law.
• Congress is likely to enact some
type of major tax overhaul legis
lation this year, the economists pre
dicted by a margin of 56 percent to
44 percent.
• The recent sharp declines in
the value of the dollar will not turn
into a rout. Some 73 percent of the
economists predicted the dollar
would fall by less than 10 percent in
the next 12 months.
Marcos leaves Philippines
(continued from page 1)
forces could provide protection to
the departing president and his fam-
tfy-
“We have no intention of harming
anybody,” Enrile said. “Our only in
terest is that we can settle this so we
can now start working to serve the
interests of the people.”
Aquino’s vice presidential run
ning-mate, former Sen. Salvador H.
Laurel, speaking on NBC’s “Today”
show, said Marcos “seems to be ame
nable now to the idea of stepping
down provided that assurances are
made for a safe conduct.” Laurel
said Enrile and Ramos spoke to Mar
cos for almost two hours.
Earlier today, the commander of
the military region that includes two
strategic U.S. bases had announced
that his officer corps had thrown its
support to Aquino in her struggle
with Marcos for control of the coun
try.
Brig. Cen. Isidore de Guzman,
commander of the central Luzon Is
land military region told reporters
the move was a collective decision of
the officers.
De Guzman’s military region in
cludes seven provinces, and the cities
of Olongapo and Angeles, where the
Subic Naval Base and Clark Air Base
are located.
Aquino took the oath of office
from an associate justice of the Su
preme Court, Claudio Teehankee,
promising to “fulfill my duties as
president of the Philippines.”
Before she was sworn in, a procla
mation signed by about 60 opposi
tion legislators in the 190-member
National Assembly was read.
The proclamation said, “We pro
claim Corazon Aquino and Salvador
Laurel the duly elected president
and vice president respectively, enti
tled to the recognition, obedience
and allegiance of the Philippine peo
ple.”
Reading of the proclamation was
drowned out by the crowd changing
“Cory, Cory,” Aquino’s nickname.
Court OKs no pass, no play
(continued from page 1)
carefully after the first full year of
implementaion has been com
pleted,” he said.
Texas Attorney General Jim Mat
tox said he had had little doubt the
high court would uphold the law
and added that parents, students
and teachers “now know this is the
law unless the Texas Legislature
changes it.”
Students who challenged the law
for the most part were prevented
from participating on interscholastic
athletic teams.
But in their appeal to the Su
preme Court, they said the penalty
affects the right of free expression
because students, for example, could
be denied a spot on the school news
paper or in school government.
At an earlier stage in the suit chal
lenging the law, lawyers argued that
it discriminates against black and
Hispanic students. That argument
was not raised in the appeal acted on
Monday.

ing “legal options” that could involve
blocking the takeover.
But Bryan added that he had an
ticipated a Lorenzo bid and crit
icized Eastern management for th
warting the alternative he pushed:
an employee buyout.
Eastern’s board of directors last
month advanced their annual share
holders meeting, along with the
deadline for stock acquisitions, by
two months to April 11, leaving em
ployees with an estimated 20 to 30
percent of the stock.
Bryan said he expected Lorenzo
to run Eastern “in the same pattern
he has established with his other air
lines,” but urged him to avoid laying
off any of the current 41,000 em
ployees or other major cutbacks.
“We believe Lorenzo represents
an interesting opportunity,” Bryan
added. “We do not feel intimidated.”
Bryan’s union signed a three-year
contract last May. He said he had of
fered to take a 15 percent wage cut
to stave off Lorenzo’s effort, but said
there would be no reason for his
union to amend its current wage
agreement.
“There is tremendous potential in
this agreement to make Eastern a
much stronger and more compet
itive airline,” Borman said in a
statement Monday. “There is no
question that the sale was in the best
interests of our employees and
shareholders.
“The only alternative would have
been to file for protection under
Chapter 11 of the federal bank
ruptcy law, which was an unaccepta
ble solution.”
Borman said pilots, who an
nounced they agreed to three years
of 20 percent wage cuts, and flight
attendants agreed to needed wage
concessions, but lack of cooperation
by Bryan’s machinists forced the
sale.

CHIROPRACTIC—A FAMILY AFFAIR
Every family member deserves the health advantages chiropractic care can provide. The effects
of chirt>practic adjustments produce specific reactions which are beneficial to all ages. -
Children, in paritcular, need a chiropractic examination to correct their posture and detect
any structural weaknesses which may exist but are undetected. Play time produces many falls,
bumps, bruises, and jolts. Parents should not shrug off seemingly “minor” injuries.
Chiropractic is a good f^ealth habit every family should acquire.
