PAGE 4 A HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON FRIDAY. MAY 29. 1 99 MARKETS and FINANCE Stocks WALL STREET NEW YORK (AP) - The stock market closed irrcjularly higher today with some prices softening as the session ended. The sain was apparently enough to make 1 new peak in the industrial aver ts. Volume for the day was esti mated at 2.900.000 shares com pared with 2,940.000 Wednesday. Gains and losses of fractions to a pom! prevailed among key (locks while selected issues post ed some wider cams. Steels, chemicals, rails and oils were hifiher. Coppers declined Motors, utilities, rubbers - and building materials were mixed General Tire kept a gain ol about 3 while Zenith halved a 3 point gain. National Lead added half a dozen points hi slow trad fng. High priced International Business Machines rose more than 7. Fractional losses were taken by Ford, Chrysler, American Tele phone. Kennecott. American Smelting, Eastman Kodak and U.S. Gypsum. The market was slightly higher at the start then widened its gains enough to top the closing record high of popular stock averages. The softening of prices after reaching their best left it doubtful that another record closing high would be established today. U.S. Treasury bonds continued to improve slight fractions in slow trading.

TU 4-5149 Senate Nears Passage Of State Yater Program Bv JAMES C. ANDERSON SACRAMENTO (UPI) The Senate drove toward passage of a statewide master plan for water development today despite last ditch northern opposition. I'd lor a final vote, which lead ers of Gov. Edmund G. Brown' administration predicted would certainly result in victory, wa: SB1106 by Sen. Hugh M. Burns iD-Fresno'. It would embark California on the largest water development pro gram planned by man a pro gram which will cost $1,750,000,000 at the start and may cost du lions more before it is completed The north fought Thursday to amend the bill. But all it suc ceeded in doing was winning adop tion of 12 comparatively minor changes. On five major tries to win further guarantees, the north lost. Brown's triumph in staving off northern attempts to make major changes in his water program was about the only victory the Dem ocratic governor achieved in the past 24 hours in the Legislature. Brown lost the first of the sev eral bills which make up his 256 million dollar tax program when an Assembly committee voted 10-6 against his proposal to levy a new tax on the production of oil and gas. And in another lower house com mittee, the governor saw his bill to set up standards for the conduct of unions amended into such shape that it faced almost certain de feat either in the Assembly or Son Vete unless changed back to its original form. , But the big fight for the gover nor was on his water program And on that, while he lost a few rounds, he won a split decision in the Senate Thursday after a three- hour tussle. Two of the dozen amendments which the north put in the bill with tne grudging consent of the ad ministration obviously will benelit the north. One would lift the ceiling on the Dorris Firm Awarded Bid i REKA Associated Lumber and Box Company of Dorris was the high bidder on 9.700 M board teet of mostly fir timber located at Willow Creek Mountain, east of Montague.

Another amendment, again ad. ded to the bill without open oppo sition of Brown's backers, extends the watershed protection act to the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta area and streams which feed into the delta. But on four other amendments, administration senators plus south ern legislators held firm and kept them out of the bill, sometimes by only two votes. Defeated after lengthy debate were amendments to assure ad ditional protection to the delta, one to invalidate the whole water bill if any section is ruled out by courts, another to give the Legis lature power to pass upon any contract to export northern water to the south, and finally an amend ment to insure additional money for northern projects. As Burns put it at the end of the lengthy debate: "We have made every conces sion (to the north) we could. We have accepted here today 12 amendments. But that is as far as we can go." Other developments in the Leg islature: Oil lax: An Assembly committee turned thumbs down on the gover nor's proposal to levy a 2 per cent tax on the value of oil and gas extracted from the ground. The committee's action prompted the governor to issue a hotly word ed statement in which he predict, ed the oil industry, which he called selfish, is "headed for trouble and I think the trouble is deserved." Labor: Brown's bill to regulate the conduct of union affairs limped out of an Assembly committer coupled with three amendments which organized labor inserted. The amendments would repeal the jurisdictional strike act and wipe on tne dooks laws wnicn prohibit hot cargo and secondary boycotts. The amendments, unless taken out of the bill before the session ends, are almost certain to result in Senate or Assembly disapproval of the whole package. One Senate committee previously killed a Brown bill which would have re pealed the jurisdictional strike act. Insurance: Although manage ment and AFL-CIO negotiators had agreed on a bill to raise max imum unemployment insurance benefits from $40 to $55 a week. the measure ran into opposition in an Assembly committee from the 1LWU, Steclworkers and Team sters who said only the highly skilled, high-paid workers would benefit. The committee took the bill under advisement after first deleting coverage for public em- pioyes ana workers lor nonprofit corporations. Agriculture: Rumors spread in the capitol that W. C. Jacobsen, veteran of 40 years in state ser vice, may be out July 1 as direc tor of the Department of Agricul ture. His successor may be James uryce, Lodi. lormer general man ager of the Walnut Growers As sociation.
