Sharp Price Cuts
Agency officials note that
while the prices of some United

duced by one-third, prices Of
foreign drugs have been low
cred much more. The initial

More than 10 million house.
holds are now headed by a
woman.
Never before have SO many
women been the sole or pri-
mary income-producers, buyers
and financial managers of so
many households. Eince 1865,
the number of households
headed by women has more
than doubled. AS recently as
1850, the proportion Of house.
holds headed by a woman was
IA per cent; it's now up to 1875
per cent. In contrast to the to-
tai households headed by wom-
en-, those headed by men are
only around 4 million. (The
balance of our 54,652, ,000
households are headed, Of
course. by husbands and
wives.)
In social welfare minded
government circles, the rea-
sons and implications this trend
are coming in for mounting at
tention. But even among busi-
nessmen who are aware Of the
significance of our changing
population mix" there are few
who recognize the challenges
and opportunities inherent in
the fact that women now DOM
ir-ate so many millions of
households. What are some rea-
sons, implications?
A first obvious reason Is the
fact that women in the United
States outlive men, and so in
their older years they become
household heads simply because
they are widows. In almost 6
million households the woman
is a widow and the average age
of women heading households
Is So. In the 35-44 age group
the total of woman-headed
households starts to rise Steep
ly. hits q peak in the 55-64
age category.
A second obvious reason is
rate Of separation and divorce
In another is million house,
holds the woman Is separated
from her husband. In IL mil
lion she is divorced.
A third obvious reaso' is the
large number Of women who
never marry. In almost is mil
lion households the woman Is
single.
A fourth obvious reason is
the extent to which women
have become wage-earners and
financially independent in re-
cent years. Only few decades
ago. women who were widowed.
separated, ETC.. would have been
compelled to live with relatives
because they couldn't earn the
paychecks TO finance living

Star Special Writer


More than $l2 million has
been saved in the last three
years by buying foreign drugs
for the military services, ac-
cording to the purchasing
agents Of the Defense Supply
Agency.
This procurement policy has
had the whole-hearted support
Of Defense Secretary McNa-
mara, who has restricted other
overseas buying.
With annual expenditures of
$73 million for medical sup
plies, including $40 million for
drugs alone, the Pentagon is
the drug industry's largest Gus
toner. Over a year ago, Mr..
Mcnamara transferred the uni
fled buying Of medical supplies
from the Navy to the Defense
Supply Agency.
Since December. 1859, the
Pentagon has paid $8,353, 900
on 81 contracts to Italian.
Swedish and Danish drug firms.
The lowest domestic bids on
the same contracts came to
$40. .478,000. The prices ranged
from one-half to less than one
eighth Of American bids. Last
year the savings were reported
to be $5.33O,000.
Practice Defended
Officials Of the supply
agency say the high-priced and
often identical bids Of United
States patented and produced
drugs justify continuing the
Navy practice Of overseas
purchases. Pentagon officials
say domestic producers have
been offered royalties Of 10 per
cent over their costs. The Con-
troller- General has upheld this
policy. 1t was pointed out that

United States District Court
here to upset the Interstate

sion allowing the money
making Chesapeake & Ohio
Railway to acquire control of
the financially faltering Bal
timore & Ohio Railroad.
The department made its

claiming eventual merger would
cost the union 3,107 jobs.
The ICC in its answer had
asked the court to uphold its
decision of last December 81

stock control Of the BScO. The
ICC authorized this prelimi-
nary move toward a proposed
merger of the two lines despite
protests by the antitrust diH-
sion Of the Justice Department
and others.

filed the Justice Departments
answer. He told the court the
ICC decision "is erroneous In

quate findings upon substan-
tial evidence with respect to the

BluetOngue. an infectious virus
disease Of sheep. must now be
regarded as a disease problem
of the sheep industry of Mon
tana. DR.. G.. c. Halver Of the
Montana Livestock SAINT y
Board told ranchers attending
the sheep and wool production
school held recently at Montana
State College.
Montana experienced its first
outbreak in August Of 1862 and
while the death loss was light,
the disease has an economic i'm
pact on the industry. DR.. Halver
said.
BluetOngue IS an insect-spread
disease and the only known
spreader is a tiny "nO-see-um
gnat which feeds on animals pri-
marily at night The sheep bitten
by the infected gnat sickens in
about seven days with first symp-
tons being depression and high
fever. reddening of the skin and
mouth parts. nasal discharge and
stiffness. Later as the case pro-
crosses. mouth parts take on a
blue color and lameness may be-
come severe. Pleura-pneumOnia
may also appear. The illness runs
from three to II days, the short
er being the fatal case.
A vaccine has been developed
for bluetongue which DR. Halver
said. seems to be efficient in
controlling outbreaks of the di-
sease. II gives immunity for II
months in adult sheep, but for
shorter time in lambs and year
lings. The vaccine, he said, must
not be used on ewes during the
first 60 days Of pregnancy. Suck
ling lambs, If vaccinated by July
10 and yearling ewes vaccinated
at shearing time. should acquire
enough immunity TO carry them
through the bluetongue season
of late summer
First described in South Afri-
ca in 1912, bluetOngue appeared
in Texas in 1913. showed up in
California in 1882 and has since
been spreading gradually in the
western states.
