I've talked with several people who've said they're in- terested in running (for lesser offices) depending on who's leading the ticket." Harry B.

GREGORY NOKES Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) The government's great gold auc- tion was a flop in selling gold but it proved that Americans have kept their common sense, officials say.

"In the U.S. Treasury gold auction, demand was less than had generally been antici- pated," said a Treasury De- partment statement Monday and that was an understatement in itself. Although (he government was auctioning 2 million ounces of gold, it received bids on only 954,800 ounces and- accepted bids for just 750,000 ounces. In addition, it appeared that most of the gold was bought by foreign banks. The biggest bid was for about 400,000 ounces from the Dresdner Bank of New York, a subsidiary of a major West German bank.

Two Swiss banks also were among the major bidders. The complete list of successful bid- ders was to be made public to- day. Except for bids from a few U.S. industries and banks, most bids from Americans were for a single 400-ounce bar of gold, the minimum amount being auc- tioned by the Treasury, The minimum bid price ac- cepted by the government was $153 an ounce, considerably be- low world market gold prices, although a few bids ranged as high as $185 an ounce. The gold sold Monday will bring the government more than $100 million in revenue.

Treasury Secretary William Sugar's place is in the factory as well as in the kitchen. In- dustry uses sugar in tanning leather, silvering mirrors, making hair tonics, shoe polishes; aBHesires, photo- graphic materials, explo- sives and detergents. TONIGHT'S SCHEDULE BOYS-- Barbourville at Shopville Lone Jack at Lynn Camp Harlan at Williamsburg GIRLS-- Harlan at Williamsburg WEDNESDAY Laurel County Invitational E. Simon expressed delight that Americans did not buy up all the gold at sharply higher prices, "It once again proves that the American people are a good deal smarter than many people give them credit for," Simon said at a news conference. Of the 219 valid bids received by the General Services Admin- istration, 100 were accepted.

The successful bidders will be able to pick up their gold at the U.S. Assay Office in New York or at U.S. mints in Denver and San Francisco, after paying the full amount of their bids.

Antibiotic Costs Are Questioned NEW YORK (AP)-limited competition among drug com- panies is costing consumers at least $180 million a year in the purchase of expensive antibiot- ics, the Council on Economic Priorities has found.

The council, a nonprofit pub- lic interest organization, said in a study released Sunday that "market domination" by large drug companies has created a situation where one company can sell the highest priced ver- sion of an antibiotic and still retain a major share of the market. The council said a loon at seven antibiotics revealed that five of the drugs were the high- est priced but yet were the most widely sold. Paul A. Brooke, who headed the study, attributed this situ- ation to patents which last 17 years and leave the original brand name imprinted on doc- tors' memories, and federal regulations that require phar- macists to ful prescriptions with the brand name specified by the doctor.
