WASHINGTON (AP) — The
government said Tuesday its chief
economic forecasting gauge fell fora
third consecutive month in Decem
ber, die traditional, but not infalli
ble, signal of an impending reces
sion.
While some economists said the
three downturns were indeed fore
telling an end to the record five-year
peacetime expansion, other analysts
disagreed, contending that 1988 will
feature slower growth but no out
right downturn.
The Commerce Department's In
dex of Leading Economic Indicators
has taken on added significance
since the record 508-point decline in
stock prices that occurred on Oct.
19.
The 0.2 percent December de
cline in the index followed a sharp
1.2 percent November drop, which
had been the biggest setback in more
than six years, and a smaller 0.1 per
cent decrease in October.
Since the leading index was cre
ated in 1948, it has fallen for three
consecutive months a total of 12
times. In eight of those instances, a

recession followed. The other four
times economic growth slowed but
there was no recession.
The last time the index declined
three months in a row was from
June through August in 1984. No
recession followed, although the
economy entered a two-vear period
in which growth slowed as a soaring
trade deficit robbed American man
ufacturers of sales.
Some economists insisted that the
leading index was signalling an ac
tual recession, which the\ said had
been triggered by a loss of consumer
confidence after the collapse ol stock
market prices.
“The question now is not whether
we are in a recession, hut how long
and how deep it will be," Irwin
Kellner', chief economist of Man
ufacturers Hanover I rust, said.
Michael Evans, head of a W ash
ington forecasting firm, said he also
believed the recession has begun,
noting a second economic report
1 Hesdac which showed that sales of
new homes fell in Deceinbei for the
second consecutive month. Ihe
housing industry is often one of the
first sectors to show weakness ini
economic downturn.
I he Commerce Department rJ
port said that home sales fell 6.2pf[
cent in December, the biggeststj
bac k in seven months, with J
weakness concentrated in the Non:]
east.
The Reagan administration,hi 1
ever, downplayed the significance I
the leading index. Beryl Sprintfl
the president’s chief economic id
viser, told reporters that the ad*
istration had no intention ofchanfl

economic growth in 198S.
