ceived from his economic advisers
report that business conditions
are still very good and the out
look "promising' as the White
House disclosed that MI. Truman
has been holding a series of un-
publicized night conferences with
business leaders.
The estimate on the business
outlook came from Leon Keyser-
ling and John D. Clark of the
Presidents Council of Economic
Advisers during White House
call. DR.. Edwin c. Nourse, coun-
Gil chairman, is out of the city.
After seeing Mr.. Truman, the
economists told reporters they had
made an oral report to the Pres
ident saying there had been little
economic change in the past
month and that there was a de-
cline in the number of new claims
for unemployment compensation.
Retail sales for January and Feb
ruary, they reported, are up to
levels of those two months of last
year and business investment plans
appear to be good.
Some Prices at Peak.
Mr.. Keyserling reiterated that
the standby imitation controls,
which the President has urged on
Congress, still are needed. He
pointed out that the latest figures
show prices on metal, metal prod
ucts, fuels and lighting are at all
time highs, which, Mr.. KeySerllng
said, demonstrates that lin some
areas there is still imitation"
He, in effect, repeated DR..
Nourse's recent warning to the
public about not getting "jittery, "
declaring we must keep the people
from getting a distorted phycho-
logical fear of the situation.
In the meantime, Eben Ayers,
assistant press secretary, told re-
