“The objective of the legislation [28 U.S.C. § 1407] is to provide centralized management under court supervision of pretrial proceedings of multidistrict litigation to assure the ‘just and efficient conduct’ of such actions. . . . It is expected that such transfer is to be ordered only where significant economy and efficiency in judicial administration may be obtained.”1 (Emphasis added.) H. R.Rep.
