The court denied Gibraltar's petition for an order barring Kemper from buying any more Gibraltar stock until a hearing has been held by state authorities to review a Jan. 12 decision permitting Kemper to buy up to 25 of the stock. A date for the hearing has not been set.

"We will proceed now with the hearing before the savings and loan commissioner," said Arthur W. Schmutz, attorney representing Gibraltar. State Savings Loan Commissioner Saul Perlis authorized Kemper to increase its holdings of Gibraltar to 25 from just under 10, but his ruling is subject to review if either party requests a hearing. Schmutz said Thursday that the hearing date will not be set until schedules have been arranged for witnesses, but it should be "within the next four to six weeks at the outside." Kemper has said that its acquisition of Gibraltar's stock has been for investment purposes only. Officials of Gibraltar the parent company of Gibraltar Savings Loan have contended that Kemper is attempting a "a non-negotiated takeover" of Southern California Options Society presents the committee.

Federal Reserve Chairman G. William Miller told the panel on Tuesday that levying surcharges would be a possible response to the weakening of the dollar overseas. Miller expressed confidence that he didn't believe such a step would be necessary, however. Blumenthal told the committee he thought the Administration would give "sympathetic consideration" to a proposal to permit higher interest payments on small, individual savings accounts. But he qualified his answer by saying he hadn't had time to look thoroughly into the question.

California Options Society (213) 625-3545 Continued from 16th Page ered slightly in late New York trading, closing at 83.39 U.S. cents, still down from 83.77 cents a day earlier. The Canadian currency fell as low as 83.30 cents at one point Wednesday before the Bank of Canada stepped in with what traders in Toronto called "substantial" intervention.

New York traders attributed the Canadian dollar's weakness primarily to end-of-the-month transactions by Canadian companies, which are buying U.S. dollars so they can pay dividends and make other remittances to their American parent firms. In Ottawa, meanwhile, Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau told the House of Commons that the "policy of the government since 1970 was to have a floating dollar, and that the value of the dollar is established by the market system operating in the normal way." In Tokyo Wednesday, the dollar rose to 201.425 yen, its highest close on the Japanese market since it hit 202.05 yen last July 20. The dollar had closed at 200.325 yen in Tokyo Tuesday. The dollar continued rising in New York Wednesday after the Tokyo exchange closed, finishing the day at 201.87 yen, up from Tuesday's 201.30.

Other late dollar rates overseas included: Frankfurt, 1.8642 West German marks, up from 1.8615; Zurich, 1.69825 Swiss francs, up from 1.68795; Paris, 4.28025 French francs, up from 4.2725; Amsterdam, 2.0140 Dutch guilders, up from 2.0090; and Milan, 841 Italian lire, up from 840.80. The British pound closed at $1.99 in London, down from $1.99575 Tuesday. The pound fell back slightly to $1.9870 in New York, down from $1.9968 the day before. Other late New York dollar quotations included: 1.8723 West German marks, up from 1.8643 Tuesday: 1.7020 Swiss francs, up from 1.69101; and 4.2920 French francs, up from 4.2725. In his congressional testimony the Treasury secretary said, are not attempting to peg exchange rates inconsistent with the fundamental economic and financial realities." But, Blumenthal added, "The United States is determined to prevent any resurgence of the kind of conditions in the foreign exchange markets which led to the actions on Nov.

1." He told the committee that other nations that participated in the dollar program, West Germany, Japan and Switzerland, "have committed their own substantial resources to those joint operations. There is, in fact, no quantitative ceiling on the total resources which the four countries are ready to use." On another subject, Blumenthal said he would oppose any move to impose a surcharge on imports if the dollar begins to weaken. Such a move would in itself be inflationary, he told VESSELS SAILED WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31, 17 For Vessel Time Queen's Way Bridge (Ja) Kobe Brook's Range (Tkr) Valdez 4:20 a.m. Japan Ambrose Ja) Yokohama 5:35 a.m. Sea-Land Trade Yokohama 6:05 a.m.

As recently as 1976, QM Productions had four TV series running simultaneously on the networks: "Cannon," "Barnaby Jones," "Streets of San Francisco" and "Bert D-'Angelo Superstar." "Barnaby Jones" is the only one in this season's lineup. Yasnyi said 13 new episodes of a QM series, "The Runaways," are RETURNED $80,000,000 TeleprompterCorporation scheduled to run on NBC in the spring, and that QM is involved in a $2.5 million pilot called "T.R.

Sloan" for NBC and two comedy pilots for CBS. He declined to estimate 1978 sales, saying only they they were higher than in the year before and, "1979 appears to be better than 78." Taft, which operates television or radio stations in eight cities, also owns Hanna-Barbera Productions a movie firm based here which also operates the Taft-owned Marine-land amusement park on the Palos Verdes peninsula. Taft also owns Cinemobile Systems, which provides technical services for movie productions. In November it reached an agreement in principle to acquire New York-based Worldvision Enterprises a television syndicator and distributor. Taft recently acquired an FM radio station in Tampa-St.

Petersburg, and reached agreements to acquire an AM radio station in the same Florida area and to acquire a Washington, D.C., television station.

The potential significance of the move was pointed up early in January by the terse announcement that John K. Maitland had been replaced as head of MCA Records by Bob Siner.
