Nevertheless, he predicted that beginning June and July this year, beneficial effects of deflation will be felt "accom- panied by a decrease in unem- ployment." 3 ECONOMIC INDEXES Citing figures to back up his theory, Weintraub said that by using all the three economic in- dexes - consumer, wholesale, and deflator - inflation in the gross national product has de- creased from a peak of 5.5 per cent in the first quarter of 1970 to 5.0 per cent in the third quar- ter. In the cost of living, the same decrease has happened, he· said. In February, 1970, the cost of living increase was 6.3 per cent. This has steadily gone down until 5.2 per cent this January. According to Weintraub, some fiscal policies that are bringing "disinflation," are curbs on NASA and national de- fense spending. LITERATURE CITED Weintraub, who has been an economist with the House of Representatives from 1963 to 1965 and also in 1968, has been tonored by the American Eco- nomic Society for his contribu- tion to economic literature. He received his BA from Wil- Jiams College and his MA and Ph.D from the University of Chicago.

Inter-Faith ·Marriages Topic of Clergy Panel Southern Cross Reporter .2 . .1 J -. ,7 / SAN DIEGO--Questions raised by inter-Christian marriages will be explored by a clergy panel and audience at a forum sponsored by the San Diego County Ecumenical Conference 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 28, at Pioneer United Church of Christ, 2550 Fairfield St. One of the panelists will be Msgr. John R. Portman, director of the San Diego Diocesan Ecumenical Com- mission. The Rev. John Huber, chairman of the con- ference's Ecumenical Relations Steering Committee, will moderate. OTHER ARE Rev. Melvin Harter, pastor of the host church and the conference's executive director; Rev. Jack Lindquist (Lutheran), Rev. James Mcilwaine (AME Zion), Rev. Hilka Green (United Methodist), Rev. Clark Plummer (United Presbyterian), and Rev. John Nicholson (Episcopalian). "Purpose of this program," Rev. Huber said, "is to share information regarding the practices of denominations with respect to marriages involving persons from different churches. "When youth approach their pastor or priest to make arrangements for such weddings, they should know what t.o expect from them. Whereas clergy may regard inter- Christian marriages as a problem, youth tend to see them as holding great promise for ecumenism." THE PROGRAM includes a film, "The Ecumenical Now," dealing with a Catholic-Lutheran marriage. Attention focuses· on the Eucharist which the husband and wife are not permhted to share together because of their different religions. Next month's program takes place March 28 when there will be an interreligious Youth Folk Celebration, 2- 5 p.m., at University of San Diego High School gym.

He said the aim of education is to produce a sociable society but it has failed because "we have p.-oduced a highly unso- ciable society." Educationists must get back to teaching more humane liter- ature and this must begin at the kindergarten level, he said. "There is a need to teach the fairy ta!e and the folk tale . . . (the lack of these) is the reason for the rise in the use of drugs. They are a way of getting 'out' of this system of getting and spending," Dr. Kirk said.

Campus reaction to the fight- ing in Laos is nothing like it was to the invasion of Cam- bodia because antiwar factions can't draw a crowd anymore, said Dr. Russell Kirk, an educator, author and columnist who spoke last night at the Uni- versity of San Diego's Cammo a Tl'ieater. "There are various reasons I for this , but the big one is that the students feel they have been used by radical elements for their own purposes," he said. "Campus unrest can be called a fad. It took various forms, one of which was anti- war. But it could also be pro- war, as in the Mideast, where the students supported Israel's fight." MICHIGAN HOME The general discontent across
