ary Harold Brown said Thursday.
‘ n an address prepared for the

i States would not expect to fight

it Western access to Gulf oil.

“Where we are involved, we do
not expect to stand alone. 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 the 1970s will be re
membered as the decade when most
women worked outside the home for
the first time.
“Women accounted for three-
fifths of the total labor force growth,”
she noted at a recent news briefing.
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.

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.”

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.

with a guy from the phone company the other day.
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. I
don’t think he’s worth it.
