Nordskog is considered a leader in the design and manufacture of airline galleys and related in-flight food service equipment and airline ground support systems. The Marketeer plant is situated on 11 acres of property at 26701 W. Redlands Blvd.

No purchase price was disclosed. By MIKE MURPHY Sun-Telegram Staff Writer REDLANDS Nordskog Industries of Van Nuys has re-opened the former West-inghouse Marketeer plant here following recent purchase of the maker of electric vehicles. Nordskog plans to resume production of the entire Marketeer line of golf carts and industrial trucks under the name Nordco Marketeer. A company spokesman said the industrial products division of Nordskog's subsidiary known as Nordco was the top sales and service agency for Market eer for 20 years. When Westinghouse owned the plant, it employed about 200 persons.

It was purchased by HMK Corp. in 1976. HMK went bankrupt in 1977 and closed the plant last July, with the plant reverting to Westinghouse ownership. R.C. Gray, manager of the Redlands plant for 11 years, is returning to manage the new operation, which is expected to employ 150 persons within six months.

Gray said he has already hired 20 persons to resume operations.

VARTAN New York Times News Service NEW YORK Stock prices edged lower Friday in an abbreviated trading session that saw both the New York Stock Exchange and the American Stock Exchange open at noon two hours late because of a severe snowstorm. The blizzard, Wall Street analysts said, also had the effect of muffling the impact of President Carter's State of the Union message delivered Thursday night on nationwide television. Although many brokers and market observers were absent from their offices in New York, the consensus of those reached was that the president said little to send stock prices markedly higher or lower Friday.

The Dow Jones industrial average dipped 1.73 points to finish at 776.94.

On the Chicago Board Options Exchange, 96,846 contracts changed hands, down from 109,841.

The broadcasting and cement groups provided the stock market with much of its excitement Friday, as most industry sectors remained relatively quiet. American Broadcasting Companies, the volume leader, sank 1 points to 35 while RCA Inc. rose 1 to 25 as the third most-active issue. A critical factor in both price changes was the announcement that Fred Silverman, the program chief of ABC-TV who led that network to first place in national ratings, will leave ABC. He will become the top executive of the National Broadcasting the broadcasting arm of RCA.

Also helping to send RCA's stock higher was a report by the company showing that December-quarter profits rose by 17 percent. Meanwhile, Merrill Lynch lowered its intermediate-term opinion, which encompasses a time frame of up to one year, for ABC's stock. Merrill Lynch, in reducing its rating from "0. K. to buy" to "Neutral," cited the management change.

The brokerage firm also reduced both its intermediate-term and long-term opinions on CBA Inc. This stock slipped to 46 Cement stocks provided the Big Board two of its best percentage gainers.

However, medium sized navels which had not yet reached their full growth potential have increased considerably in size, he said. As a result, the estimated yield per acre has been revised upward by 5 As of last December, the estimate was 289 field boxes per acre. The increased yield could more than offset clear rot losses, said Campana. "Grapes, which will not be harvested until next September and October, can only benefit from the rains," he said.

"The only problem with rain could occur if it rains in the fall when the berries are mature and the weather is warm. Then they could mildew and rot easily." Some 2,000 acres of west end "dry land" crops oats and barley, used mainly for animal feed are expected to benefit from the rain. Last year growers estimated the cash value of dry crops at $200,000. "Prospects for dry land grain crops, mostly in the Chino area, get better and better with each rain," he said. times a year.

Last year the county's 1,368 acres of lemons yielded an estimated $3.2 million in gross returns to growers. "Lemons are graded by color as well as size, and they're stored for a time to get the right color. In storage prior to packing, brown rot can damage unaffected fruit, but the extent of the damage can't be estimated until the fruit is ready for packing," said Campana. Potential losses from brown rot, however, may be more than outweighed by an estimated 10 increase (25 boxes) in the yield.previously estimated at 250 field boxes (55 pounds per box) per acre, said Campana. Harvest of the navel orange crop, mostly in east end of the county, especially Redlands and Highland, was interrupted about midway by the January rains.

Picking is expected to resume as soon as orchards are dry enough to allow pickers and equipment to come in, said Campana. Navel orange growers foresee no increase in their earlier estimate of a 5 to 10 loss to byproducts because of clear rot caused by the rain, said Campana. Navels sold in 1976 for byproducts brought an average of only 27 cents a OMAHA, Neb. (AP) Plans for capital spending of $585 million in 1958, a high for the company during a year, were announced by the Union Pacific Corp. Chiairman James H.

Evans said the plan represents an increase of $167 million or 40 percent over capital expenditures during 1977. Evans said each of the corporation's operating companies will invest at record levels, with more than 60 percent of the expenditures earmarked for the Union Pacific's energy businesses. The Union Pacific Railroad's share will be $220 million for capital improvements, a $15 million increase over last year's outlay.

The Chicago Board of Trade and Mercantile Exchange opened on schedule.

The New York Stock Exchange said it was unable to open at its normal 10 a.m. trading time but opened at noon. The American Stock Exchange also opened at noon, two hours later than normal, according to a spokesman. At the Philadelphia-Baltimore-Washington Stock Exchange in Philadelphia the opening was put back one hour. Trading opened normally at Chicago's Midwest Stock Exchange, and the Boston Stock Exchange.

The Pacific Stock Exchange in San Francisco also opened but delayed trading in options until later. U.S. corn planting to decline WASHINGTON (AP) Farmers indicate they will cut back slightly on corn plantings this spring but may give a hefty boost to soybeans, the Agriculture Department said Friday. In its first general look at 1978 harvest potential, the department said surveys on Jan. 1 indicated that farmers may plant 79.3 million acres of corn, a reduction of 2.1 percent from last year.

But soybean plantings could hit a record of 63.1 million acres, an 8 percent increase from 58.3 million in 1977. A senior department official said the report did not indicate that the nationwide strike called by the American Agriculture Movement has had an impact on 1978 crop planting intentions. The Colorado-based movement wants farmers to quit producing crops until their prices are raised. Faced with rising grain surpluses, the Carter administration has taken steps itself to curb 1978 production, including an acreage set-aside plan for wheat and one tentatively announced for corn. Howard W.

Hjort, the department's director of economics, told a news conference that the report showed farmers Intend to plant slightly more land to the 12 crops surveyed than had been anticipated. Asked about the impact of the strike movement, Hjort said, "it would seem that relatively few farmers were planning reductions in excess of the set-aside" program to curb grain output this year. But Hjort cautioned that the report "is an indicator and an early indicator. That's all it is." Farmers still have several months before spring planting of major crops and could change their minds before then, he said. metols NEW YORK (AP) Spot nonferrous metal prices Friday: copper 63 cents a pound, U.S.

By JOE BAKER Sun-Telegram Business Editor SAN BERNARDINO County farmers probably gained more than they lost from the more than three inches of rain that fell here since Jan. 14, the county Department of Agriculture said Friday. "Brown rot did continue to affect the lemon crop," said Richard A. Campana, assistant agricultural commissioner, "but it looks now like there will be a dry period which will enable the growers to get in and treat the fruit to keep the condition from spreading when the lemons are stored prior to packing." Brown rot in lemons and a similar clear rot in navel oranges was first noted after more than three inches of rain fell from Jan.

3 through 11 with insufficient time between rainfalls for the fruit to dry. Campana said brown rot is a fungus caused by prolonged water soaking, and can be checked by spraying with a copper sulphate mixture if another rain does not wash it off too soon. He said harvest of some of the lemon crop, mostly in the west end of the county, can begin immediately, continuing for the next two months as more lemons ripen. The fruit is harvested three or four r. relax icssy John C.

Kenefick, railroad president, said $156 million will go for equipment and $64 million on road and fixed plant improvements. The program calls for 2,565 freight cars and the purchase of 800 jumbo grain hopper cars. Other scheduled items are 280 miles of continuous welded rail, construction of 100 miles of centralized traffic control signalling and related equipment on main line track, and construction of an automobile unloading facility near Denver. Champlin Petroleum Rocky Mountain Energy and Upland Industries Corp. are other Union Pacific subsidiaries participating in the capital spending program.

Thursday night drew mixed reviews. The dollar started the day with a sharp decline as dealers expressed disappointment that Carter failed to announce new economic measures to bolster the currency. But the losses were mostly recouped as dealers reflected on Carter's address. Profit-taking, technical factors and support from European central banks also edged the dollar back upward. "Things settled down when people realized that although he said nothing new, he at least confirmed the U.S.

intention of keeping the dollar stable," said one dealer in London. Carter's annual economic report to Congress, in which he repeated that the United States would fight speculation in currency markets, came too late in the day to affect prices.
