weakening Of optimism may be

Employment is increasing than
think it is decreasing.
ITO the largest extent" the

The deterioration Of attitudes
was found to be most pro-
nounced in short term business
expectations, but is also ap-
parent in the long term bust
ness outlook.
The economists also found
some favorable indications. In
Uentions to buy cars remain
high and should lend strength

The percentage of Americans
earning more than $4,000 a
year increased from IS per cent
in 1861 to is per cent at pres

The report indicates two
thirds of the people favor a
tax reduction and an increas-
ing number believe there win

cut would generate confidence

Survey Reveals Drop
In Consumer Optimism

ANN ARBOR, Mich, (AP).-
Consumer optimism toward the
American economic picture has
weakened In the last few
months despite recent eco
nomic gains, according to the
University Of Michigan Sur
vey Research Center.
Data obtained in the center's
May survey of 1900 adults
shows the economy will n t
gain new strength from an in
crease in consumer willingness
to spend.
The surveys were directed by
Profs. George Katona and Eva
Mueller Of the SRC Economic
Behavior Program, part of the
Institute for Social Research.
In May, 1868, the SRC index
Of consumer sentiment stood at
95.4, down almost three points
from February's 98.3. (The in
dex is based on consumer atti-
tudes to key questions in the
fall Of 1860 In August, 1862,
the index stood at $50 and
gained last fall.
SRC economists said deteri-
Grafton of consumer attitudes
was unexpected in light Of the
improvement shown in the per-
Torrance Of the economy this
spring and the optimistic pre-
dictions recently published by
experts.
Analysis Of consumer respon-
ses indicates three facJors re-
sponsible for the surprising neg
ative change.
ITO some extent it may be
attributed 70 the disappearance
Of q favorable influence. Last
winter many people SPOKE OF a
relaxation Of international ten
sions and thought it augured
well for the economy" the re-
port explains.
