2 Tha tnow-Joumdl, Or wood, 8 Juty 7 IMP Wall Street today Today Sneaker Thomas P. O'Neill said Tuesday that a tax cut in 198k was a certainty. Today early prices inciuocai Eastman Kodak, up at a vt to administer artificial resuscitation. The Corps will have a boat on display equipped with the necessary safety equipment and will demonsstrate its proper use. Marchi said DHEC last sponsored a semi nar about five years ago.

At that seminar, Marchi said, the turnout was good with approximately 7,000 persons attending. With the seminar's proximity to Lake Greenwood, Marchi expects this year's seminar to draw as many people as the last one. NEW YORK (AP) The stock market pushed ahead today, getting a little more mileage out of Tuesday's late rally. The Dow Jones average of 30 industrials rose 1.45 to 873.72 in the first half hour. Gainers outnumbered losers by a 5 3 margin among New York Stock Exchange-listed Houston Industries, up all 28.

Of the other drownings, one man washed up at a marina one fell of his air mattress and two drowned when they got into water over their heads All the victims have been males in their late twenties and early thirties. Summer said. He also said the average age for drowning victims is around 20 years old John Marrhi. sanitarian for the Upper Savannah Health Disrict, said the most common reason for accidental drownings is an unfamiliar shoreline.

"People just get into water over their head," Marchi said, illustrating the point by using area power lakes as examples. Most power lakes are formed by flooding dry land. This usually is done by building a dam across a river Lake Greenwood is an On Tuesday the Dow Jones in example of this method. "It (the shoreline) drops off very fast," Martin said, adding that before a person realizes it, the water is over his or her head Marchi said the other two major reasons for accidental drownings are boating accidents and people "horsing around" in the water. The main way to eliminate accidental drownings.

Summer said, is "to educate the public." So the Corps is Joining with the state Department of Health and Environmental Control, the American Red Cross and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism, to sponsor a water safety seminar, July 19, at the Greenwood State Park. The seminar will include demonstrations by the Red Cross on how to retrieve a person from the water; canoe safety; and bow dustrial average gained 4.35 to 872.27.

Analysts have noted some revival of interest lately in "asset" stocks such as gold and oil issues. The price of gold has climbed sharply in recent weeks, appa-rently reflecting some new inflationary expectations.

Those expectations have gained some impetus as talk of a tax cut has spread. House The NYSE's composite index rose .40 to 65.74. At the American Stock Ex change, the market value index was up 3.99 at 297.60. Saturday mail escapes ax City log Forecast a balanced 1981 budget as a way to combat inflation. Ironically, the new push for cutting taxes is considered almost certain to doom already fading hopes for balancing the budget for the first time in 12 years.

O'Neill said the House Ways and Means -Committee will begin hearings on the tax issue, perhaps aaaarly as during this month's congressional recess. White House press secretary Jody Powell confirmed Tuesday that Carter is studying the extent and timing of a tax cut, but he said the president remains concerned about "the ability to produce a reasonable and responsible product before the election." Powell said Carter still prefers to delay action until after the election. Asked Monday if he had changed his mind on a tax cut this year. Carter replied, "No, I don't think so." But Powell told reporters Tuesday, "We've obviously been looking at what a 1961 tax cut, if advisable, would look like." While several reports indicate the administration's mid-year economic and budget review will forecast a possible $2S billion tax cut in 1981, Powell declared that "absolutely no decisions have been made" about the timing, size or form of a reduction. One official, who asked not to be identified, said the administration is concerned that if it makes, an early commitment to a tax cut and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries "goes bonkers again" and sends oil prices skyrocketing, "we could be paw! right back up to 18 to 20 percent inflation again." Although the Post Office Committee's refusal to halt Saturday mail could be challenged by House budget-writers when the savings bill reaches the floor late this month, key Budget Committee members said continuation of six-day deliveries was not likely to be contested.

Rep. Leon Panetta, D-Calif a member of the Budget Committee, praised the Post Office Committee and other House panels for coming within $100 million of the $6.4 billion that the budget resolution instructed them to save. "We ought to be satisfied with what the committees have done," Panetta said. The Post Office Committee has staunchly opposed curtailing mail deliveries and in its savings bill agreed to trim only $250 million from the Postal Service's $736 million government subsidy. The committee's chairman.

Rep. James M. Hanley, D-N said that size cut would require no significant reduction in postal operations. WASHINGTON (AP) Saturday mail, once considered a prime target of congressional budget-cutters, appears to have escaped the ax and may end up even more secure than before. The House Post Office and Civil Service Committee refused Tuesday to comply with a House Budget Committee plan to scrap money for Saturday mail as a way to save the government $500 million.

The Post LICE Committee then went even further, voting to require the U.S. Postal Service, a quasi-independent agency, to continue surday a week deliveries. That order was attached to a $947 million savings bill the committee approved in response to a congressional mandate that it cut programs under its jurisdiction by $1 billion. The $1 billion was the Post Office Committee's share of $6 4 billion in spending cuts that Congress directed congressional committees to make as, part of the now-faltering drive to balance the fiscal 1981 federal budget.
