WASHINGTON (fa A serious slump in demand for such durable Items as autos, appliances and machinery will come in a few years "whether or we have one in 1954," the American Economic Assn. was told today. Albert Gailord Hart. Columbia University economist and former Treasury consultant, made the prediction and said the goverri- ment should, move to hold any recession within moderate bounds.

"What should worry us is not the possibility of a recession which is normal but the fact we have so little In reserve to deal with one," Hart said. Dr. William J. Fellner of Yale University told the economists' annual meeting that measures developed to cope with depressions will lead to a smoother patter of up-and-down economic cycles than the country experienced before World War H. Dr.

Fellner Raid greater political influence of persons belonging in the relatively low income groups" and by the ability of "relatively overproducing" industries to obtain government subsidies. He cautioned that the government might go too far in warding off deflation and might attempt to prevent "even moderate fluctuations in employment."

Is Uncertain SEOUL Gen. Maxwell D. Taylor stood in a snowcovered Korean valley today and told 8th Army soldiers he did not know what two U. S. divisions would be leaving Korea or where or when they would go.

"The decision to transfer two divisions out," he said, "was a high- level move and I do not have the details. It may be weeks or months before the transfer is made." president Eisenhower announced recently that the two divisions would be pulled out. "Don't listen to rumors," Taylor told troops of the U. S. 25th Division's 27th Regiment.

"As soon as we get authoritative news from the horse's mouth, we'll let you know." Taylor said he thought that after the divisions to be transferred were known the "fair way to do it would be to send out the men who have been out here about 16 months and transfer the short-tim- ers from the divisions to other divisions that are staying." "But I don't know yet that will be the procedure," he said Adenauer Named 'Man of the Year' NEW YORK magazine today chose West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer as its 27th annual Man of the Yenr.
