In fact, efficiency Is unacceptable to politicians In general because efficiency involves patience, say George P. Schulti, former presidential adviser who now heads Bechtel Corp.

of San Francisco, and Kenneth W. Dam, a professor of International law at the University of Chicago. They advance this thesis In their book, "Economic Policy Beyond the Headlines" (W.W. Norton New York). "Leadership all too often Is equated with 'doing they say, "and patience is equated with Indecision.

Indeed, one of the most difficult problems In economic policy Is finding ways to 'do nothing' while waiting for the lagged effects of actions already initiated to work their way through the market process." Schultz and Dam were talking about the political appeal of price and wage controls, for which they have absolutely no use, at least not in peacetime. "Past experience with wage and price controls shows how tempting It Is to adopt controls and how difficult it is to get rid of them," they write. The controls Inevitably lead to twists and turns and distortions of the economy, "One step leads to the next often a misstep until those In charge find themselves nowhere near the Intended destination." But the political appeal of controls Is undoubted, they write, because "the economist's lag Is the politician's nightmare. After the politician correctly perceives a problem and makes the best long-term decision, conditions don't Improve Immediately. "Where does that leave the politician while waiting for results? Defeated at the polls." CASPER Several educators from Natrona County School District No.
