Measurements are presented of R, the ratio of the total hadronic cross section to the cross section for mu pair production, and of the inclusive charged particle momentum distribution Sdsigma/dx for e/sup +/e/sup -/ annihilation at center of mass energies of 5.2, 6.5 and 29.0 GeV. The ratio R is found to be approximately 3.9, consistent with quark-parton model expectations, at each of the three energies with an estimated systematic uncertainty of 6%. The inclusive cross sections show significant deviation from the scaling behavior predicted by the quarkparton model.
