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.

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

250 million dollars previously hi
the bill which 'would be spent on
northern projects and substitute
a blank sum linked to tidelands
oil royalties which could eventual
ly amount to 350 million dollars
or more.
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
