Their destination was unknown. Mrs. Mitchell, who threatened to leave her husband unless he quit his post as head of the Committee to Re-elect President Nixon, was joined at the club by the former attorney general Monday and neither left their room until the abrupt backdoor exit, Calling herself a political prisoner, Mrs. Mitchell earlier had issued Mitchell an ultimatum to quit politics and shortly thereafter he traveled from Washington to the Westchester Country Club to discuss with her what aides said was a personal matter.

A Commerce Department analyst said no one should pay too much attention to the small increase. But the composite index of leading indicators increased by only 0.2 per cent over April, the worst performance in a year. On top of that, the April advance of 1.4 per cent in the index was revised downward to 0.9 per cent. Harold C.

It is not viewed as a sensitive measure of the precise strength or weakness of the economy. Passer noted that only eight of, the 12 indi.ators are now available for May.

Despite his comments, the index of leading indicators didnt look very good. Only two of the eight indicators available for May, hulding permits and in dustrial materials prices, showed improvement. Of the six which declined, those for the average work week, and for contracts and orders for plant and equipment declined, sharply. Also showing unfavorable movements were new orders for durable goods, initial claims for unemployment insurance, stock, prices and the ratio of prices to labor cost. The administration has sad that the economy is on a strong upward change.

Marina Whitman, a member of President Nixons Council of Economic Advisers, said Thurs' day the economy is expanding at an accelerating rate. The recovery is no longer in question, she said. At a speech in Minnesota before the Associated Industries of Minneapolis, she said the outlook is for rapid growth of the economy the rest of this year.

A UDA spokesman insisted the Protestant barricades would go up to stay and any army efforts to tear them down would be resisted. The UDA spokesman, who in sisted on remaining nameless, said his organization has 43,000 fully trained members. He refused to say how many were armed. Thousands of Protestant workers- belong to the UDA.

UDA leaders were reported considering a stoppage of electricity and other public services to the Catholic Bogside and Creggan areas of Londonderry walled off by the IRA.
