The capital might be used for new plant or equipment, the research or development of new etc. Sometimes a corporation is able to finance expansion and modernization through internally generated funds.

When cash flow is not sufficient to meet the need, the corporation may borrow from the banks or turn to the new issue market. Corporations issue all types of securities through the new issue market. Many investors follow the calendar of scheduled issues carefully for attractive opportunities. One major advantage of purchasing newly issued securities is the commission savings. The sates commissions are paid by the issuing corporations.

However, a word to the wise don't let the savings of commissions affect your investment judgment. Select your investments, first, on fundamental considerations. An investor's first experience in purchasing a newly issued security may prove somewhat disturbing; from the standpoint that he may be asked to give his indication of interest before he knows what the exact price of yield of the security will be. In order to understand why this is sometimes necessary, it will be useful to review the entire process. When a corporation decides to come to the market, there is a public announcement.

A future date of issue is set. Preliminary prospectuses are printed and distributed through the involved brokerage and investment banking firms. If the tone is to be a corporate bond, note, or preferred stock it is normally rated by a service such as Moody's or Standard Poor. Thus information is circulated about the corporation and its security prior to the date of issue. Investors have an opportunity to study the general details and place indications of interest with their brokers.

If an upcoming issue looks especially attractive, it may become oversubscribed at an early date. Brokers, institutional investors and the more experienced individual investors normally have a pretty good idea of what the price or the yield of a new issue will be. They know it will be priced in accordance with the ongoing market, so they estimate the terms by examining the prices of similar issues as they are traded on exchanges and in other markets. In summary, if you are interested in knowing about new issues, inform your broker to keep you posted on the new issue calendar or watch for it in financial publications. If a particular issue is of interest, you can request a preliminary prospectus to obtain details on the company and the proposed issue.

If you find an item attractive, do not wait until the date of issue. Call your broker at your earliest convenience if you wish to indicate interest or would like help in sizing up market levels. When the issue actually is brought to market, the final prices and terms will be announced. If these are acceptable, you can advise your broker to let your indication of interest go through as a firm order. If they are not acceptable, you are not obligated by earlier having expressed interest.

(UPI) Betty Ambrose is considered an excellent police officer by her chief, but she's being busted back to meter maid duty and there aren't any meters.

Mrs. Ambrose, 41, joined the force in 1970, served as a meter maid for several years and then became a juvenile officer for two years on meter maid's salary. She recently completed a course in juvenile law enforcement, which cost the city $2,143. When she returned, she was told she would return to the street Monday as a meter maid. "She's a very capable person, a very qualified person," police chief Jack Rodgers said Thursday.

"Her work in the juvenile division was just fine. "But under the law I have no option but to move her into the meter maid position because that's her civil service classification." Mrs. Ambrose said she was being discriminated against because of her sex. Since she is classified as a meter maid by civil service, she said, she makes only as much money as a beginning patrolman. "There are no meters that's what I'm trying to get across to them," Mrs.

Ambrose said. She also'said she was next in line for promotion to sergeant if she couW serve as a regular officer. "The men are opposed to my being a sergeant. They fear my coming on the line and their having to take orders from a woman."

The weekly newsletter for chief executives finds average capital outlays to increase 24.4 per cent to an average $11.2 million next year. More than half (57.8 per cent) of the GPR respondents plan additions of new plant and equipment.

40.7 per cent cite plant modernization and automation as the main spending thrust. Corporate expansion will generate an average of 2M new jobs per company, the Report continues. The job additions represent a 7.6 per cent increase over the current average work force of 3,675. An average 219 jobs (78.2 per cent) are destined for the U.S. 61 (21.8 per cent) for overseas.

1976 sales for the 330 responding companies average $229.1 million. Anticipated net profits after taxes this year to average $8.2 million. Politics Uncertain The optimistic expansion forecast is clouded only by the uncertainty of White House politics brought about by the election of Democrat Jimmy Carter. 88.3 per cent of the presidents cite inflation as the key problem facing the Carter Administration. Almost two- thirds (65.0 per cent expressed a fear of increased government regulation.

Over seven-in-ten (71.1 per cent) expressed concern over the rise of foreign competition in the U.S. The Report warns that company presidents may have to reduce their expansion sights next year if the threat of a renewed Arab oil embargo resurfaces. It finds that only one-m-tbree (34.8 per cent) companies has a workable emergency energy plan in case of a cut-off of fuel supplies. Hopes Act Will Aid Others JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UP!) A husband who obtained court permission to turn off his wife's life support systems says he hopes the case will help other families avoid having "to go through what we went through." Celia Cain, 26, died Saturday when a mechanical respirator and circulatory device was switched off under court order.

"The whole family has gotten over the initial shock," said Gerald Cain. "It is our hope that in future times, this case will help families not to go through what we went through." The ordeal began Nov. 10 when Mrs. Cain had a hysterectomy operation. She developed difficulty in breathing following the surgery and lapsed into a coma.

Although tests revealed that Mrs. Cain had no brain waves and was therefore medically dead, doctors refused to disconnect the life support device for fear of being held liable. Under Florida law, a person is not dead until the heart stops beating. The machines kept Mrs. Cain's heart pumping blood to a dead brain and a body that could never move again.

At first Cain didn't want the mechanical aids removed. But doctors told him Tuesday that his wife's brain had begun to dissolve and that her blood was coagulating. Faced with the hopeless situation, Cain decided to seek a court order to let his wife die. MIU IIWS prt- S. Ilk 17M2.
