Report indicates most Americans will tie nuptial knot
WASHINGTON-Nearly 95 percent of all Americans
have married or will marry sometime in their lives, the
government reported Saturday.
At the same time, one in five of those who have
already married has been divorced, and one in three post
World War II marriages will end in divorce, the Census
Bureau said.
Soo datelines
In a report called "Perspectives on American Husbands
and Wives," the bureau said that since most of those who
divorce ultimately remarry, most Americans spend most
of their adult lives married.
"Past history indicates that almost everyone will be
either a husband or wife at some point in their life," the
report said. In 1977, the figures indicate, only 6 percent
of men and 4 percent of women in their early 50s had
never married.
Social scientists regard the latest report as significant
because the government makes a point of conceding that
much of its past family data has been based on statistics
concerning the male "head of household."
But the new report indicates that economically and
socially, the American family has changed considerably in
the last decade: more women are working, seeking more
education and heading their own households; and more
men are helping with household and child rearing
responsibilities.
Terrorists attack
Tel Aviv, Israel-Three Palestinian terrorists attacked a
guest house on the northern Israeli town of Maalot early
Saturday, Israeli troops killed the Arabs, authorities said.
Occupants of the government-run facility scrambled
down sheets knotted into ropes to escape the terrorists,
who had sought to take hostages in an effort to negotiate
freedom for 10 Arab prisoners in Israel.
Police said a 34-year-old Israeli woman jumped or fell
to her death from the top floor of the three-story
structure in an effort to escape the guerrillas, who were
armed with grenades and automatic rifles.
The attack began when a guerrilla entered a second
floor room and took a man, his wife and child hostage. A
number of soldiers on patrol engaged the Arabs in a gun
battle and it was "all over in a few moments," a spokes
man said.
Maalot, six miles from the Lebanon border, was raided
in 1974 by Palestinians who took pupils hostage in the
school and killed 28 Israelis.
Good schools important
Washington-Business leaders say good schools and a
low crime rate are more important than corporate tax
breaks and labor costs when deciding whether to relocate
or expand their firms, according to a congressional study
released Saturday.
Sponsors said the survey suggests that cutting taxes is
not enough to attract business if a city is seen as a poor
place to live.
However, the study by a subcommittee of the congres
sional Joint Economic Committee found that a "city
government's attitude toward business" is the single most
important factor to businessmen in making key decisions.
The panel surveyed 1,290 firms in 10 large cities.
Judges be aggressive
Washington-A presidential commission is getting ready
to recommend that judges in major antitrust cases turn
away from their traditional passive role and instead
agressively move the cases to completion.
The recommendations of the National Commission for
the Review of Antitrust Laws and Procedures, some of
which would require legislation, are scheduled to be re
leased within 10 days.
The recommendation will then go to President Carter
and Attorney General Griffin Bell.
