Financial experts were in agreement, however, that most firms will not take full advantage of the liberalization of dividend announced Thursday by the Com- ''mittee on Interest and Dividends. Under the Committee's new guidelines, a company can choose between an annual dividend no more than 4 per cent, which has been in effect since economic controls began in August W7I, or an amount' based on their payout ratios from 19O to 1972. "The. obvious first candidate for a dividend hike is Genera) Motors with its historic payout of 70 per cent," said Joseph S.

Philuppi, a vice president and automotive analyst of Blyth Eastman Dillon Co. "The auto industry, however, is conservative by nature," he said, "and will hold back on boosting dividends to the maximum because of the high probability of a downturn in sales next year." Oil Miller, also of Blyth Eastman Dillon said, "Some oil companies such as Phillips and Exxon could hike their dividends by as much as 20 per cent under the revised guideline while others night do better under the old 4 per cent rule because of past earnings patterns." Many Wall Streeters said utilities 'were likely to increase payouts because they traditionally attract the more conservative, dividend-oriented investor. "Most industries experiencing unusually high levels of earnings without too many debt commitments will raise 1 said. Harry Laubscher of Walston "Co. He pointed to high payout ratios in the heavy capital goods sector, including steel and railroad equipment, and the chemical industries.

"The committee's move increases the attraction of many issues already oversold and sufficiently appealing," Laubscher said, "but it also helps provide a floor for many issues." The government' actkm on dividends was not without its critics in the Wall Street com- a near-term basis, the step is psychologically said ABen Shaw of Harris, Upharn, "but on a long-term basis.

"It always has been a dream," Judith said, "and we hope we will meet President Nixon to 'thank him." Dressed in bright, multicolored pant-suits, the 18-year-old twins spoke through an interpreter at a news conference called by officials of the Mormon Church. "Our friends at home wish they would have this opportunity," Judith said. Judith and Ruth were to begin classes Monday at the Brigham Young University in Provo, 40 miles south of here. The girls are members of the Mormon Church. "The missionaries (in Bolivia) showed us photographs of the BYU campus and told us it was a good school, and we believe them," Ruth said.

They were 3-years-old when Nixon, then Vice President, held them in his arms during a visit to a public health clinic in La Paz, Bolivia, and told their parents he would see to it that someday the girls got a college education in the United States. Their mother never jost faith in Nixon's promise, but their father was always a little skeptical. The girls turned 18 March 28 and Mrs. contacted Nixon through a United Press International bureau employe and reminded him of his promise. Nixon said he remembered the twins and would honor his commitment.

The girls were flown to Utah after a whirlwind visit in Southern California they toured Disneyland. The twins begin an intensive English course at BYU, attending class six hours a day.
