(AP) Economist Alan Greenspan told the nation's governors today that the national economic recovery will begin to slow dramatically in 1984. Greenspan, who was former President Ford's chief economic adviser, spoke to the National Governors' Association at its annual convention in Portland, Me.

Greenspan said the problem underlying the recovery is that it is based on factors that are generally immune to the pressures of high interest rates. When the economy reaches a phase that's driven by capital investment, said Greenspan, it will become affected by interest rates. And that, he added, will slow down the recovery. Reduced inflation alone will not solve the problem, Greenspan told the governors, nor will the tax increases the governors are calling for. Greenspan also said no real cure for the nation's economic problems is likely until after the 1984 presidential elections.

He said after the election, a number of things could be done to bring federal budget deficits under control including cuts in defense spending growth, reductions in entitlement programs and some kind of tax increase.

Blim has helped liquidate several stores including a foot Beno's in San Luis Obispo, and one in Modesto, which was closed Sunday. The Beno's store in Modesto was forced to close its doors, "the victim of a higher rent which it decided not to match and economic conditions in the area which slowed business at the store in recent months," according to the Modesto Bee newspaper. Both employees and customers will feel the loss of the Beno's store in Modesto. For some customers, according to Blim, it was the only large store they ever shopped at. Blim was employed by Beno's in San Luis Obispo from 1960 to 1974, when he went into business for himself.
