Perhaps partly for this reason, economists for the prestigious 100-man Business Council, which met in Hot Springs, Va., stuck steadfastly to their cautious prediction of a $620 billion gross national product for 1964-even though the Administration expects the G.N.P. to hit at least $623 billion and some private economists feel that it may go higher. Viewing all this backing and filling, Associate Dean Walter D. Fackler of the University of Chicago Business School...
