The Commerce Department said the "real" Gross a i a nation's total output of goods and services stripped of in- flation--rose $13.4 billion between April and June.

According to a revised es- timate, the GNP soared 9.2 per cent in the first quarter. At the same time, the department reported that the inflation rate, as measured by the GNP implicit price deflator, grew from 4.3 per cent in the first quarter to 5 per cent in the second. The department also said personal 'income--all Income received by all Americans- advanced only 0.4 per cent in June, the smallest one-month increase" in the past five months. The moderate second quarter rise marks the fifth consecutive quarterly rise in the "real" GNP since the nation began pulling out of the recession last spring. The Commerce Department said the real GNP now stands at $1.259 trillion, 1.4 per cent above the $1.243 trillion mark which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1973 before the economic downturn began.

Government economists did not find the slowdown in the nation's growth rate par- ticularly distressing. Today's report is just a preliminary GNP assesment and most felt that the revised figures will look much better when more data is available. Retail sales, which make up roughly two-thirds of the real GNP, have perked up-again and business investment is expected to pick up in the months ahead.

Carter refused, however, to Icriticlze Ford saying, "I take ihim at his word that he did it end division and the tragedy." Carter held his news confcr- jence standing on the steps of jthc Plains High School under 'a blazing sun. He also was 'meeting today with an aide to "One of the things to be decided," Carter said, "would be the nature of the campaign against Ford or Reagan." He said Ford's record "cer- tainly" would be the issue against the President. Against Reagan, Carter said, the campaign would be "the inclination of Reagan to get militarily involved in a a a a Rhodesia." Repeating what he said in June, Carter said that he would not raise the question of the Nixon pardon during the campaign, saying "the Americaa people and would resent it" if the pardon were used by a candidate in the cainpaign.

Carter compared it to his own actions as governor in helping to aid state businesses. --He did "not see anything wrong" in a business arrange- ment between a member of his staff, pollster Pat Caddell, who has a high-priced con- tract with Saudi Arabia. --The Olympic Committee ought to establish the rules for participation in the games and the "host government should stay out of it."
