Professors v. Politicians. Many economists think that the nation wilf need a quicker and greater increase in money than Burns apparently has in mind if the Administration is to head off a recession. Milton Friedman's followers argue that it takes six to nine months for any switch in monetary policy to make its impact felt on the economy. Beryl Sprinkel, vice president of Chicago's Harris Trust & Savings Bank and a member of TIME'S Board of Economists, calculates that industrial production is likely to drop an additional 4% even if the Federal Reserve begins...
