The board assigned Daniel F. Lawrence, its director, to study and report back on the proposed plan which would be a radical propriation at public hearings before Senate and House com- change in policy. Lawrence reported that the plan was first discussed informally with the board last October. David L. Crandall, U. S. Bureau of Reclamation regional director, since has been consulted and has lent some encouragement to the proposal, Lawrence said. mittees May It is hardly fair, Lawrence said, for residents of one area such as Vernal, to obtain assistance from the power revenues, while other areas such as San Juan County, have been unable to get a share.

With corporate profits already trending downward and with the outlook unimpressive for at least another several months, investors are naturally wary of making commitments in common stocks. But periods of market stress do provide opportunities to purchase reasonably valued issues, even though diligence must be used to select the best from the vast array of hard-hi- t stocks. Protecting Against Uncertainties Despite the multitude of stocks, care must be used to secure the best possible protection against the uncertain economic climate and the most advantageous position for benefiting from the eventual recovery of the market. Just because a stock has declined to a substantial extent does not auto carry. Hence, investors able to forego a high investment income can generally benefit more from the better-qualitstocks growth which can resist the adverse business and profits pressures and may be expected to pace the later revival in equity values. These would be issues of firms which are well managed and have shown growth in sales and profits in the past, with prospects for fury above-averag- e ther expansion.
