Job market still favors men
WASHINGTON - A white man who drops out of high school makes more money on the average than a white woman with a college degree, according to a study by Yale University.
That is one of the findings in a new report on employment prospects of professional women and minorities.
The co-author of the report, Betty M. Vetter, the report concluded that the job market for women and minorities was not going as well as one would have thought 10 years ago, when the federal government had just begun to commit itself to equal employment opportunity and affirmative action.
The study found that women and minorities have made dramatic gains in the past decade in acquiring the education required for a professional career. But opportunities for employment, advancement and good pay—particularly for women—have increased. The only cases of job loss among women and women have widened, the report said.
The report said the percentage of degrees going to women in the sciences, engineering, medicine, dentistry and law had soared in recent years. For example, 19 percent of the new medical and law degrees in 1977 went to women, compared with 5 percent in 1970.
The percentage of degrees going to minorities in those fields has increased, although not as fast, the report said.

Annex of Joplin hotel razed
JOPLIN Mo ... Workers used dynamite to demolish the remains of the 70-year-old Cameron Hotel, where two workers died last week, buried by fire.
two to three cases of dynamite were used to bring down the Connor Annex, which remained standing after the older section of the nine-story hotel and began an effort to secure the building.
The annex was built about 20 years after the original hotel and was about half its size.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is investigating the cause of the hotel's collapse. A safety specialist from OSHA, Carl Kinney, indicated he would return to Joplin this week to examine steel beams in the debris and to interview Summers.
A 30-year-old Joopin man, Alfred Summers, was found alive in the wreckage 35 days after the collapse. The bodies of two co-workers were pulled from the wreckage.
Kinney said he wanted to determine how extensively Summers and other workmen had cut into the steel girders in the basement while preparing the floor.

U.S. congressman killed during ambush in Guyana
GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP)—The Guyanese government airlifted troops yesterday into a remote jungle where a California congressman and three newsmen were ambushed and killed as they tried to cross the border from the camp of an American religious sect.
Guyanese officials said the attack on Rep. Leo Ryan's group apparently was staged by members of the People's Temple sect who were angered by his interference.
A Guaynabe government spokesman in New York, Jack Gelinas, said a company of soldiers sent to the sect's camp took one suspect into custody. Gelinas identified the suspect as Larry John Lyton, an American white age and hometown were not known.
AT LEAST seven persons, including American attorney Mark Lane, had been listed as missing after the attack. But State Department spokesman Tom Reed said in Washington that he had information that Mr. Garry was alive in Jonestown, Guyana.
Lane, who defended Martin Luther King's convicted assassination, James Earl Ray, and Garry were serving as counselors to Jim Jones, the founder of the California-based People's Temple sect that established Jonestown.
The State Department identified four of the dead as the 53-year-old Ryan; reporter Don Harris, 42, and camaman Robert Brown, 36, both of NBC News and Los Angeles residents; and photographer Gregor Johnson, 27, of the San Francisco Chronicle.
THE IDENTITY of a fifth victim was withheld pending notification of relatives, but Gayanese sources said it was an 18-year-old American woman from the settlement.
The U.S. Embassy identified the seriously injured as Jackie Speier, Ryan's attorney, and Michael Carr, his assistant Pasadena, Calif., who is a sound man for NBC, and Anthony Katsoria, Carolyn Boyd and Beverly Oliver. The embassy identified 32 members of the party who accompanied the Ryan party.
The State Department said the bodies would be flown to Georgetown, where a coroner is investigating.

The State Department said members of the People's Temple, which says it has 20,000 followers in California, had a plan to kill them as a result of suicide if they felt the sect was threatened.
