WASH INGTON — President
Reagan has decided against im
posing quotas on imports of ca
sein, the protein component of
milk used to make imitation
cheese and other dairy substi
tutes.
The U.S. International
Trade Commission advised
Reagan in late January that im
ports of casein do not interfere a
great deal with the U.S. dairy
price support program and no
trade restrictions should be im
posed.
C. Michael Hathaway, deputy
general counsel of the trade
office, said that in view of this
finding, the administration will
take no f urther action on casein
imports.
The issue of casein imports is
a sensitive one for dairy produc
ers, who fear that casein pro
ducts, such as imitation cheese,
coffee whiteners and dessert
toppings, will take larger shares
of dairy product market.
Dairy producers already have
lost a battle to margarine, made
from vegetable oil. Seventy-two
percent of the butter market is
held by margarine.
When lumped with casein
products, dairy substitutes have
30 percent of the potential dairy
market, according to new statis
tics put out by the United Dairy
Industry Association.
Substitutes have 50 percent of
the cream market, 15 percent of
the flavored milk drink market,
5 percent of cheese business and
1.7 percent of the ice cream
market, the association said.
Reagan asked the Interna
tional Trade Commission to in
vestigate after an Agriculture
Department study found that
casein imports had raised the
cost of the dairy price support
program by $300 million.
In response to Reagan’s final
decision, Patrick Healy, secret
ary of the National Milk Produc
ers Federation, said failure to
deal with the price support costs
in light of the administration’s
desires to reduce the cost of the
$2.5 billion dairy program “is
totally irrational.”
Max Berry, general counsel
for a group of companies who
use casein in their products, said
the dairy industry’s contention
that casein imports raised gov
ernment dairy purchases “was a
red herring — a smoke screen
generated by the dairy lobby in
an effort to cover that industry’s
real problems.”

WASHINGTON — The gov

tome of statistics reveals bits and
pieces of life in the United States
in the 1980s: both marriage and
divorce are on the rise and males
are more outnumbered than

The Census Bureau’s Statis
tical Abstract of the United
States 1981 provides the “most
up-to-date facts available” on
trends in the country. The
annual report is based on some
information not available to the
bureau for the 1980 census and
the latest available to resear
chers in November 1981.
The report shows marriages
were up in 1980, but not as
much as divorces, the ratio of
men to women declined, inter
racial marriages, legal abortions
and the number of unmarried
women giving birth all in
creased.
There were 2,413,000 mar
riages in 1980, up from
2,159,000 in 1970, but there
were 1,182,000 divorces in
1980, compared to 708,000 in
1970.

In that year, there were 106
males for every 100 females. But

But the number of families

VENTURA, Calif. — Two
California condors that lost their
egg in a domestic squabble last
month have produced a second
egg, representing a significant
breakthrough in the attempt to
save the endangered bird.
Biologists said Friday the
second egg was laid about 40
days after the first egg was lost.
Researchers spotted the new
egg Thursday from an observa
