...Mark 106" system, considered one of the Navy's most sophisticated anti-mine devices will also be towed by helicopter, and it produces a "multiple output" of signals that can detonate acoustic, pressure or magnetic mines...
...confessed to a nagging worry about food prices-and with good reason. The Agriculture Department last week reported that farm prices jumped 5% in January, the second straight monthly rise of 5%. The Administration has responded by taking steps to raise meat output: it ordered another 9,000,000 acres of land restored to production of feed grains. The move will not affect prices until late summer or fall...
Many more women nowadays are finding jobs, and thus adding to the increase in national output, 43.8% of all working-age women now are employed. But their unemployment rate has been persistently much higher than that for men; last year it was 6.6% v. 4.9%. Surprisingly, women's earnings have actually fallen farther behind the incomes of their husbands, brothers and male colleagues in the past 15 years or so.

...closing and adopt a few worker suggestions. A traveling saw that cut pipe into sections after it left the furnace was repaired and overhauled at a cost of only $3,000. Workers had been asking for the adjustments for years; once they were made, spoilage dropped from 29% of output to 9%. In addition, a few storage racks and inspection tables were rearranged to permit a smoother flow of work. Two crucial but low-paid employees who operated a pipe straightening machine were given raises from $3.70 to $4.07 an hour. And the workers made a relatively minor change...

Industrial production in October, the most recently recorded month, fell 7% from the same period a year earlier, and farm output in 1972 was down roughly 10% from 197 1. The quality of production has slumped in nearly every category: most Chilean bread, for instance, is now a coarse, sour, brown sludge that produces more gas than nourishment. Allende is talking about handing back to Chilean businessmen some of the companies that his government earlier...
