the SPRINGFIELD (Mo.) LEADER-PRESS Feb. 1, 1973 27 Wall and Main Streets Business Corner For complete stock market details, "read The Daily News, regularly -The Business MirrorNixon's Wary Of Inflation By JOHN CUNNIFF NEW YORK (AP) You can detect in President Nixon's economic report to Congress the satisfaction of a man who feels he has wrestled some very big economic problems and now has them nearly tamed and responsive to his will. While the general prediction is that it will be another "very good" year, he said, "I believe it can be a great year." And in the spirit of things he has setsome goals that critics might think quite optimistic. But it is clear too that he is extremely wary that these very same problems, inflation especially, might challenge his leadership. It can be a great year, he said, only if we are prudent.

By implication: more restraint, less self-indulgence. These are some of the pocketbook goals the President has set: -A continued reduction in the inflation rate to around 3 per. cent, averaged out for the year, and a rate of even less than that during the final months of 1973. This is a critical goal and one to watch all year long. Many private economists feel the rate will be 3.5 per cent or above.

Moreover, they fear it might be rising rather than falling as the year progresses. It also is a goal that can be reached only by a bumpy road. Food is expected to make headlines in the next few weeks as record-high farm prices arrive at the checkout counter. It won't seem like inflation is receding. The administration concedes it has set its sights high, and it appears to be relying both on the self -discipline of producers and consumers in exercising restraint, and the discipline of the big stick it hasn't used so far.

-Less optimism is shown in regard to employment. It is even suggested that the level of idleness that must be tolerated has.been raised from 4 percent of the work force to 4.5 per cent, at least for 1973. The job goal is for a jobless rate of about 4.5 per cent by late in the year, compared with 5.6 per cent last year and 5.9 per cent in 1971. The rate last year fell through the months to a 5.1 per cent level in December. While an earlier figure of 4 per cent had been set as the goal, without a specific date for achieving it, the administration is seemingly wary that to seek that level too quickly might force prices higher.

Economically, -full -employment is not full employment. It is the rate of joblessness that can be supported without producing shortages of skill that, in turn, push up labor costs and then prices. Millions of Americans will generally be out of work at any one time: unable to work, between jobs, laid off and looking, unskilled and otherwise idle. -Incomes are projected to rise sharply in 1973. This doesn't mean that bigger pay raises are forthcoming, but it does mean that people will have more money to spend because inflation will be reduced.

In addition, billions of dollars in tax refunds already are beginning to filter back to those who had too much money withheld during 1972. Billions of dollars is on its. way back to consumers. -Good prospects are foreseen also for homebuyers, as- more than 2 million units. become available for the third straight year, Add to that figure.

a rough total of one-half million mobile homes and you have a boom. If that level is achieved it will. tend to keep prices from rising sharply as in the previous two years, when there larger backlog of unsatisfied demand. But continued increases in lumber prices and slightly higher mortgage rates might offset those gains. In summary, many economists share 'the President's hopes, believe them possible and even likely.

But like the President, they feel it will take some skiiful management of the economy, by the President. -Sylvia PorterWho Gets What? NEW YORK Let's say you're working out the details of a divorce in 1973. You own one car. Who gets it? Usually the wife. If there are two cars, each of you husband and wife will take one.

Let's say the family house is in both your names. Who gets the house? Usually the wife. Even if the house is in the husband's name only, the divorce settlement often provides ownership for the wife. And if a husband wants the divorce badly enough, he may be persuaded to pay off the mortgage on the property, too. What about the furniture? Most of the stuff stays in the house in a typical agreement.

The husband will take only items which are obviously his alone (sports equipment, special desk, sort of thing). A husband may walk out of a house in which he has invested $75,000 or more with next to hothing to show for it. (There may be other arrangements, of course: an agreement to sell the house and divide the proceeds; or the wife may keep the house until the children are grown; many other variations.) Below are key guidelines on other assets. Life insurance policies: The wife and-or children are typically kept as beneficiaries until she remarries or until another date mutually agreed upon. If the husband is not insured or if his group policy is not sufficient to cover this part of the settlement, the husband may be required to take out a new life insurance policy.

Details on this must be spelled out in the divorce agreement including who pays the premiums and who deals with such matters as dividends and policy loans. And, as a general rule, the husband not borrow against a life may insurance policy that is part of a divorce agreement or change its provisions in any way. In the $10,000 income bracket, a husband might make his exwife the beneficiary ofsa $15,000 to $20,000 life insurance until she remarries. In the $30,000 to $40,000 range, a divorcing wife would generally be fortunate if her husband made her beneficiary of a $50,000 life insurance policy. Health insurance: A husband is required by most agreements to maintain at least Blue Cross or some other hospitalization inasurance for ex-wife and children.

Thus, husbands usually are required to buy individual policies for their wives at considerable extra cost. In a "generous" settlement, Blue Cross and major medical insurance coverage might be included. If the separation agreement calls for the husband to pay for any of the childrens' medical and dental expenses not covered by insurance, the agreement should spell out just what expenses are his responsibility. It may also specify that such big expenses as orthodontia, cosmetic surgery, psychiatric treatment may not be undertaken without his consent.
