activity has plainlynd substantially turned to normal, and the econy has obviously retued to self- sustaini trend growth, they ll almost certainly have waited too long. >> reporter: war had many on wall seet scratching tir heads. that's mostly cause it was a 180-degree turn fromhat the fed id wednesday after its meeting on intert rates. licymakers said economic conditio are likely to warrant exceptionay low rates for an extended period. whis warsh publicly contradictg his boss, fed airman ben bernanke? economt chris low says no one really knows, so iestors should take the comments aface value. >> it oks like a senior offial at the fed sending this message, that evenhough it's not nessary right now, the rkets should prepare at some point for a faly aggressive titening. reporter: economist bob brusca says dissension at e d is normal; the way warsh i

publicizing is not. >> ion't know if he has litical aspirations. i don't know if he just wantto draw some atteion to himself. maybe he's thinking of makg some headlines and pnts about inpendence so he can go and do something else. and thisertainly does elevate his name. up until now, he's beea pretty quiet governor. >>eporter: as for the future of ierest rates, economists say expect them to remn low. today's developments, hover, suggest there could be aot more debate aboujust how long they'll st that way. zanne pratt, "nightly busine report,"ew york. >> paul: those warsh comment puzzled wall street th morning. stocks headelower as an unexpected declinen august durable goods and a smaller- than-expecd rise in new home sales had investors doubtinghe recovery's proects. stockstair-stepped their way lower as the dowosted a 58-point mid-day loss withhe nasdaq off 20 ints. the sell-offas cushioned a bit
