Because aggression against one could spread to threaten all, others in the region may well — and surely ought to — join in the collective defense,” Brown said. Brown noted France and Japan re ceive about 75 percent of their oil from the Persian Gulf, while Ger many gets 45 percent. He noted, too, France traditional ly has maintained a significant naval presence in the Indian Ocean. Brown also used the occasion to counter critics who say the United States is incapable of coming to the defense of the region. He said a battalion of Marines is due in the Indian Ocean on March 24 and confirmed the United States plans to position seven ships in the region in June with heavy equip ment for a 10,000-man Marine bri gade. He said the United States has sent a discreet warning to the Soviet Un ion by flying three separate B-52 missions from Guam to the Indian Ocean area to participate in sea sur veillance operations. “The first land-based tactical air craft could be in the region in a mat ter of hours, and significant units backed up by AWACs (airborne command posts) within a few days, ” Brown said. “The 1st Battalion of the 82nd Air borne Division could arrive within 48 hours of a movement order; the entire division could close in in about two weeks. “A full Marine amphibious force (one division and air wing) could be deployed in four weeks.” Rare Pennsylvania earthquake thought an explosion, thunder United Press International PHILADELPHIA — The cu rious rumbling sounded vaguely like an explosion, but it wasn’t. It was just an earthquake, rare for the Philadelphia region. “I knew something happened, a plane going by or thunder, ” said Evelyn Tait of a mild quake that rattled windows Wednesday in northeast Philadelphia and sub urban Montgomery County. “I didn’t know it was an earth quake.” Dr. Richard Bischke, geology professor at Temple University, said he was told by the Lamont- Doherty Geological Observatory in Palisades, N. Y., the quake reg istered 3.0 on the Richter scale. He said the quake occurred at 12:07 p.m., followed by an after shock at 12:20 p.m. He said he believed the epicenter was lo cated just south of the Hunting don Valley Fault. Police reported neither dam age nor injuries. Officers said they received many calls from re sidents who feared there had been an explosion. Southeastern Pennsylvania has experienced mild earthquakes before. One occurred in the Phi ladelphia area on Feb. 28, 1973, and another in Lancaster County on Oct. 6, 1978.

Herman said many women are coming into the work force at entry- level jobs. Over half are in just 20 occupations — most related to homemaking tasks and support roles, like clerical work. In 1978, while the median income of women who worked full time throughout the year was about $9,300, more than 30 percent of women heads of household earned less than the $6,600 poverty level, Herman said. Many favorable actions have occurred during the past decade to improve the position of women, in cluding: an increase in educational attainment, passage of a law banning discrimination based on pregnancy, amendments in the minimum wage law that extended coverage to many jobs held by women and congres sional passage of the Equal Rights Amendment, she said. Herman said the bureau’s current priorities involve entrance of more women into non-traditional jobs, the earning gap between men and women, child care for working pa rents, safety and health in the work place and equal pay for equal work. The agency is also concerned about treatment of women in pension and Social Security systems, alternative work schedules such as flexitime and part time and sexual harassment of women on the job. ... . .ikveral of the developing conn tial hopefuls tomf blllit b, g fleets in the re c ent the next four prE® n [ Y ears more out of considera- is vote Saturday 1 '* nationa l pride than practical 'bile both DenM'. 10mics ’ be said - . s have primarl later said °P e " registry or flags onyenience, Panamanian and rida, Georgia anu recor s. ^ ^ £ oun( j g oa l an illusion candidates haves gainst Israelintk' d its later expla®! ition error had f :es for Carter. and has had to resort to subsidies to keep its fleet on the seas. Even the Russians, who conceal the real costs of building and operat ing their ships and who base their maritime operations on political and strategic, as well as commercial, con siderations, have resorted to open registry. Slater said. They lease a number of ships built and financed by European consortiums that oper ate under Liberian or Panamanian registry. Slater said the idea that develop ing countries, with their limited financial resources, should be aggressively encouraged to build and try to operate big merchant marine fleets is nonsense, particularly in this era when there is a world-wide sur plus of shipping and intense com petition. The global situation in shipping is so tough, he said, that if present trends continue, even the North European ocean shipping industry, which has been so great in the past, may disappear within 10 years unless it gets massive government sub sidies. In the market presently, Slater said, major users of bulk tonnage (tankers and dry bulk cargo ships) are unwilling to enter into long-term employment contracts for ships. The resulting existence of only a short term market makes ship investment decisions extremely difficult. “Any collapse in the bulk freight market in the next 12 months could be catastrophic to many ship own ers,” Slater warned. Against this somber background, he said, the UNCTAD proposals can only be regarded as “a formula for financial disaster.” U. S. dollar up, gold down dollar might go higher still, influ enced by higher interest rates in the United States. In London, gold opened at $635.50 an ounce, down from Wednesday’s close of $644.50. In Zurich, gold opened at $637.50 an ounce, down from $646.50 at the close Wednesday. United Press International LONDON — Still buoyed by high U.S. interest rates, the dol lar opened higher on all Euro pean exchanges Thursday. The price of gold started the day lower in Zurich and London. A dealer for Barclay’s Bank In ternational said there was talk the Drug makers investigated United Press International WASHINGTON — Despite a proposed government crackdown, some drug companies still pass off medicines as their own brand when they really have little to do with their manufacture, congressional investi gators said Thursday. Bob Eckhardt, D-Texas, said that the Food and Drug Administration “has failed to act decisively in a year and a half despite the subcommit tee’s strong recommendation that the FDA promulgate regulations to stop the practice. ” At issue is a procedure used by some name brand drug companies to send a representative to the manu facturing plant of a company making cheaper generic or non-brand pro ducts. The presence of that agent allows the company to put its brand on the product even though the rep resentative has little to do with its manufacture.

And he was tryin’ to hand me some big line about how my phone is worth more to me now than it ever was. And that’s gotta be a bunch of baloney. It’s the same old phone that’s been sittin’ there ever since we moved in and if anyone’s made any changes in it, I sure can’t see ’em. I mean all you need is a phone and a pair of wires and another phone on the other end, right? So it turns out I’m wrong and he drug me down to what he calls a switchin’ center and holy cow! that place is crawlin’ with stuff that goes click and stuff that goes beep and how they stand to work there I don’t know. And then he started explainin’ what all that junk does and he lost me after the first word. But I did find one thing out. It sure takes a lot of equipment so my kid can yak at his girl friends.
