Retail sales growth slows in May;
Tiday, Ji
WASHINGTON (AP) — Retail sales grew just 0.1
percent in May, the government said Wednesday in a
report analysts predicted would help ease fears of infla
tionary pressures in the economy.
The Commerce Department said sales by retailers,
which represent about one-third of U.S. economic ac
tivity, edged up a scant 0.1 percent in May to $131.9 bil
lion, after a 0.4 percent drop in April.
Much of the slowdown came from two successive
drops in auto sales, but other categories, including de
partment store sales, also were anemic.
“If you put the two months together, there is not
much evidence of strength,” said Sandra Shaber, an
economist with The Futures Group, a Wai
based consulting Firm. “Department stores

Reagan wants
probe of Wright
by counsel
WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi
dent Reagan suggested Wednesday
that “everyone would feel that it was
more proper” if House Speaker Jim
Wright were investigated by an inde
pendent counsel instead of the
House ethics committee.
The committee is looking into al
legations by Rep. Newt Gingrich, R-
Ga., and others that Wright, D-
Texas, has violated House ethics
rules by misusing his office for per
sonal gain and improperly interven
ing with federal regulators.
Some Republicans, including Vice
President George Bush, have sug
gested that it would be better to have
the investigation conducted by an in
dependent counsel.
Reagan, asked whether he agreed,
said: “I have to wonder if it should
not be an independent counsel from
the standpoint of the relationship of
the speaker to the majority of the
committee. And I think everyone
would feel that it was more proper if
it was done by an investigator out
side— an appointed investigator.”
Although Reagan spoke of the
majority of the committee, the panel
is actually evenly divided among Re
publicans and Democrats, with six
members from each party. The
chairman of the committee is Rep.
Julian Dixon, D-Calif.
Wright was not immediately avail
able for comment.
