THE BIG BOARD delayed its opening until 11:15 a.m. an hour and 15 minutes after the scheduled start of trading because of transportation problems posed by snow and high winds that hit much of the northeastern part of the country. The activity that followed was brisk by usual standards, but it was considerably off the pace of January, when the daily total averaged more than 30 million shares. Brokers noted a natural tendency to take profits after a dramatic rise in stock prices all through last month.

And the chairman of the Civil Service Commission testified that his acceptance of hospitality at a Rockwell International Corporation hunting ledge on Maryland's Eastern Shore involved no conflict of interest because he had been invited by a long-time personal friend.

"There was no way in which I could help his company and there wasn't the slightest hint of that," said Commissioner Robert E. Hampton. THOMAS V. JONES, president of the Northrup Corporation, and Robert Anderson, president of Rockwell, said their companies' hospitality was offered to government officials only to further goodwill and provide an informal channel for exchanging legitimate information and ironing out problems.

high. THE DIVESTITURE proposal is in line with a still-pending antitrust suit filed by the Justice Department more than a year ago in an effort to force to spin off Western Electric and other subsidiaries. Those who favor divestiture say it would bring more competition in the telecommunications equipment industry and thus could help lower prices. Western provides about SO per cent of Bell System's equipment. The FCC study contended long-distance customers have been overcharged because of improper bookkeeping practices, an excessively large plant and improper accounting.

The staff said customers are entitled to refunds of more than $1.6 billion for the years 4971-1975. THE UTILITY SAID THE FCC study "is just one analysis of the thousands of pages of testimony and exhibits entered into the record in this case. The analysis of those same facts most assuredly will be in sharp contrast to those of the FCC staff attorneys." A decision may be made by the FCC itself, which could take up to two years. jjOURSt STAR STATE REPORT Tiptcn, Ind.
