Commerce Dept. Reports Gaias WASHINGTON UPI — The nation’s output of goods and services scored its biggest gain in nearly 16 years during the first three months of 1986, the Commerce Department reported today.

The gross national product rose II6.9 billion to an annual rate of $714.1 billion. It was the biggest quarterly jump in the GNP since the outbreak of the Korean war, when consumers rushed to buy up

things hi fear of possible shortages. That was the third quarter of 1950, when GNP increased $17.7 billion. The advance during January, February and March this year was more evenly spread among consumers, businessmen and the government. Government economists stressed that the latest increase was “more balanced” than the big Korean rise. Since the economy was much smaller in 1950, that increase amounted to more than six per cent in the nation’s over-all output The latest advance, coming

on a much bigger base, was only Tho Daily Bafmar, Oraancastla, Indiana S about 2.5 per cent Tuaaday, April 19, 1966

Thus the first quarter GNP figures are not expected to tip the scales in favor of a tax increase to head off inflation. Nevertheless, the Commerce Department noted that prices rose faster in the first quarter than at any other time during the current five-year business expansion. Nearly one per cent of the first quarter’s 2.5 per cent gain was in the form of higher prices, the rest representing a real increase in the physical volume of production.
