Des Moines Tribune from Des Moines, Iowa • 33

Business Briefs Leased Wires to The Tribune A NEW PRODUCT for solid particles from refinery oil separating streams has been patented by a Gulf Oil Corp. subsidiary. The company said the product, called the "Gulftronic Separator" improves on existing technologies, such as centrifuges, by winnowing out more of the smaller particles in fluids. The company said the product may provide a better way to purify food and drug products. It could be used by the petroleum refining, chemical and vegetable oil processing industries, Gulf said.

LIFE INSURANCE sales are showing signs of recovery following an unexpected slump in the first half of last year, according to the Life Insurance Marketing and Research Association. Sales of life insurance in America in December were 12.1 per cent above a year earlier, the association said, the fourth consecutive month in which sales have been higher than the same month a year earlier. SHORT-TERM INTEREST rates in the United States and Europe, are likely to remain stable for most of the rest of this year, according to a survey by Amex Bank, the London merchant bank subsidiary of American Express Co. The survey of some 300 senior executives throughout the world showed that almost two-thirds expected the U. S.

prime rate to remain below 8 per cent through next January. The survey also showed that few executives expected the present U.S. prime rate of 6.5 per cent to drop below 6 per cent. TIRE RUBBER Co. has contracted with Measurex Cupertino, for nine digital computer-based tire calendar control systems.

Terms were not disclosed. Measurex said the system is used for quality and production control in the manufacture of tires. OLYMPIA BREWING Co. said it had a net loss of $406,000 in the fourth quarter of 1975, but that net income from operations for the full year, remained above the 1974 level, reaching $2,144,520, or $1.02 a share, compared with $1,649,625, or 79 cents a share, a year ago. An extra credit in 1975 brought final net for the year to $2,784,520, or $1.33 a share, the brewer said.

JOS. SCHLITZ BREWING Co. said it will begin national marketing of its new light beer Mar. 1. The national distribution comes less than four months after Schlitz light beer was test marketed in parts of 12 states.

Light refers to a lower calorie beer. INTERNATIONAL MINING declared its first dividend since 1970. The company declared a quarterly dividend of 5 cents a common share and an extra dividend of 10 cents a share, both payable Mar. 31, to stock of record Mar. 12.

The measure, sent to the House floor for debate, does not limit what someone who is awarded actual damages as a result of malpractice may receive for medical bills, rehabilitation, expense and salary loss. Other Changes The bill, the result of a study by a -sessions committee of the Legislature, would make several other controversial changes in Iowa law governing malpractice claims. One of the changes would permit judges in malpractice cases to review attorney's fees when a damage award is made. According to the bill, the judge would study the amount of the judgment, the legal issues involved and time spent by the injured person's attorney on the case before he ruled on whether the attorney's fees were excessive. The judge would have the power to reduce attorney's fees in the malpractice case, but the Iowa Supreme Court would review the judge's decision.

The measure also would Towans to arbitrate malpractice claims with their doctor or other medical officials involved. Arbitration Under the arbitration process, which sponsors of the bill said is patterned after a Michigan law, the patient and doctor would reach an agreement on the specific malpractice claim. However, the patient would be given 60 days to withdraw from the agreement.
