Some private economists worried that the bigjump in inflation was sig naling the concluding stages of the current long economic recovery and could well result in a recession some time next year. The White House dismissed the inflation figure. The Commerce Department re ported that the growth rate in the gross national product, the econ omy’s total output of goods and serv ices, was down only slightly from a revised 3.4 percent increase in the First three months of the year. But inflation, as measured by a price index tied to the GNP, regis tered the biggest advance since the third quarter of 1982. The GNP price index had risen at 3.5 percent rate in the first quarter. The Reagan administration, which is counting on a strong econ omy this year to keep the White House in Republican hands, hailed the strong growth numbers and dis missed the higher inflation rate as an aberration. “Prices have temporarily picked up, but they are not a harbinger of more general inflation,” Beryl Sprinkel, the president’s chief econ omist, said. “The price increases are reflecting the drought and higher import prices because of the fall in the dollar.” Others were more concerned. “We have had a definite upturn in the inflation rate which is a by-prod uct of our long expansion,” Allen Si nai, chief economist of the Boston Co., said. “The demand side of our economy is now exceeding our abil ity to produce, which is causing price pressures.” The Federal Reserve has already pushed interest rates higher as a way of dampening demand, and Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said the central bank stood ready to tighten further if inflationary pres sures did not abate. Michael Evans, head of a Wash ington forecasting firm, said he agreed with the administration’s as sessment that the spike in inflation in the second quarter was likely to moderate in coming quarters. He said it was produced primarily by higher clothing and energy costs, which have already declined since spring. He predicted that food costs would moderate as well, especially if more rain falls in the parched Mid west. All economists agreed that overall growth during the second quarter showed the hoped-for movement away from a consumer-led expan sion to export-led growth. WASHINGTON (AP) - Fetfc mortgage subsidies that allow them lion’s rural poor to own their ok home are cost-effective and shout he expanded. Rep. Henry B Goni* lez said Wednesday in releasing, private study showing the prograt lias succeeded in “the very toughtt hardscrabble places.” The non-profit Housing Assit tance Council study found panic pants in the Farmers Home Admit istration’s low-inconn homeownership program hadexcci lent repayment records, their snks dies declined and their incomes creased over a five-year span, arc the number of children livingbeloi the poverty level decreased signi cantly. The HAG tracked 894 sampi families nationwide who obtaict: subsizied mortgages in 1981 ai: concluded the rural homeownersk; program “represents a cost-effecni strategy to provide decent shelter; low-income households andtoass them in overcoming the burden: poverty.” The study, financed with agm from the Ford Foundation, ak found homeownership had indirs benefits, particularly on childnt such as stabilizing family livesoftk children. Among those sampled, two-life of the borrower-households werei or below 125 percent of the feden poverty level when the loans ve made, the study said. Nearly fifth of the households hadincoi below the poverty threshold l N COUl west seeii subj T rulii Tex had inve A U.S. officials impose rules for dealing with hostages \A7 A IT I M III TAM / A H J ^ t 111 f» 11 r*ci rwr ft Vi #=* W rro n 111 LJ 11 CIZ'L' rr*»rl t Vi at wh ( WASHINGTON (AP) — Still nursing scars from the Iran-Contra affair, Reagan administration officials are publicly imposing ground rules which seemingly limit flexibility to win the liberation of American hostages in Lebanon. Officials at the White House and State Department say no deals will be negotiated with Iran and that the U.S. government will discuss the hostage situation only with “authoritative” representatives of Tehran. Neither of these limitations was placed on the jockey ing in 1985-86 that led to the clandestine sales of U.S. arms to Iran, the diversion of proceeds to Nicaraguan rebels and the subsequent indictment of two one-time White House officials. Two American hostages — David Jacobsen and the Rev. Benjamin Weir — were released during that mer curial period. President Reagan subsequently argued that he was merely seeking an opening to Iran, not an arms-for- hostages trade, when he approved the transfer of TOW anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles to Tehran. A presidential panel disagreed with him, and so did a joint congressional investigative committee. Reagan eventually acknow’ledged that what had started out as an overture to moderate political el ements in Iran had turned into what the publicp ceived as an arms-for-hostages swap. Iran’s acceptance last week of a U.N. resolutioniir, posing a cease-fire in the long war with Iraq has raised expectations of an improved climate for getting tie hostages out of Lebanon. When asked Monday if the time was ripe to try out again to talk to the Iranians about the hostages, Reap said of the Iranian officials, “If they’re ready and wil ing to talk, it’s time.” But administration officials followed that broad brush remark with a series of statements stressinglimi tations on U.S. willingness to deal with Iran onthissuh ject. They said the administration would not againfal prey to something that can be construed as bargainiat with a terrorist nation for the release of hostages. While steadfastly insisting that officials aredoingal they can to learn the whereabouts of the nine Amen cans and get them out, minimization of the significance of statements from Iran suggesting a new interest in the issue has ensued. FAA scrambles to understand airline changes WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration vainly is scrambling to catch up with a rapidly changing airline industry whose decisions at times are driven by dollars and not safety, a congres sional study said Wednesday. The 183-page report by the Of fice of Technology Assessment sug gests that Congress provide the FAA with additional funds and press for more inspectors and air traffic con trollers as well as organizational streamlining that places more em phasis on safety. Unannounced inspections and pe riodic in-depth inspections of both large and small airlines by the FAA “are indispensable tools for ensuring public safety” but currently the FAA doesn’t have enough inspectors, the report said. The OTA is a nonpartisan agency that helps Congress deal with com plex and often highly technical is sues. Rep. Norman Mineta, D-Calif, the subcommittee chairman, said the report’s call for “stable and adequate funding” for the FAA is among its most important findings. Reach 60,000 readers per day The Battalion “For the balance of this century, the FAA’s funding needs will con tinue to increase if we expect to maintain the high level of safety which the public demands of avi ation,” Mineta said. But he acknowl edged those funds may be hard to find “under the enormous deficits that have piled up in recent years.” Safety records of U.S. airlines rank among the best in the world but the intense changes in the industry and airline competitionposes safety concerns, the report said. Girl escapes on U.S. Navy destroyer NORFOLK, Va. (AP) —An Ir ish teen-ager with a history of running away from home stowed away on a U.S. Navy guided mis sile destroyer, and five sailors ac cused of helping her during 10 days at sea have been arrested, of ficials said Wednesday.

Newlyweds disappear for 3 months CHICAGO (AP) — A pair of missing newlyweds have turned up in California, police said Wednesday, 3 months after the couple dropped out of sight with out a word to relatives or class mates at a suburban Christian col lege. Carolyn MacLean, 22, and Scott Swanson, 23, had eloped a week before they vanished April 2. Their ransacked luxury car was found in an alley, its motor still running. The couple were not seen or heard from until they sent letters i to their parents and contacted the MacLeans by telephone Tuesday, Commander Ettore DiVitoofthe police department’s youth divi sion said Wednesday. DiVito refused to provide de tails about the condition or ‘ whereabouts of the couple excepi to say they had called from the San Diego area. “As far as I know, there is no criminal activity involved in the case,” said DiVito.
