(Continued From Page 1) The President assigned to individual consumers the "im portant role" of "shopping carefully." Housewives can do much to protect their own pocketbooks, he said, by insisting on quality merchandise at fair prices. The government economists believe the outlook is for "good, but not spectacular" economic growth in 1959.

They said rapid expansion like that of the 1955 boom "is not in the cards." But "the general feeling is that things will improve as we go along, and that 1960 will be better than 1959 by a long shot." Eisenhower said the admin istration will do its part in the fight against inflation by keeping a close watch on all government and private activities that affect the economy. He announced he will appoint a top-level cabinet committee for this purpose. A lower-level working committee, prol ably headed by Raymond Saulnier, chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, also will be set up to scrutinize such federal activities as procure ment, stockpiling and farm price supports that directly affect price stability. He said the most valuable contribution Congress can make is to keep government spending within the limits of the $77 billion balanced budget which he submitted Mon day. But he also asked the law makers to enact several spe cific pieces of legislation.

His major requests were for: -A basic amendment to the 1946 "full employment" act to make it clear that the government is just as concerned with stabilizing prices as it is with promoting high levels of employment and produc tion. While the act is merely a broad statement of pur poses, Eisenhower felt that the amendment would be helpful as a sort of formal declaration of war against inflation. -A general tightening up of the anti-trust laws, including broader powers for federal agencies to investigate or block business mergers. -Enactment of the union re form legislation which he pro posed last year, -Authorityto extend feder al aid, including development to communities which are still suffering heavy un employment. -Extending coverage of un employment insurance to several groups of workers who are now excluded, such as employees of very small firms and non-profit organizations.
