Columbia S&L Isn’t Pursuing Plan to Go Private
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Columbia Savings & Loan Association Chairman Thomas Spiegel reiterated that the company isn’t actively considering going private. Columbia was sued last week by five of its shareholders who alleged a pattern of self-dealing involving Columbia, several of its officers and directors and Drexel Burnham Lambert Inc. to depress Columbia’s stock price in anticipation of a management-led buy-out. Columbia, known for its heavy investment in junk, or high yield bonds, said the suit is without merit. Mr. Spiegel said one House amendment calling for savings and loans to liquidate their junk bond portfolios in 24 months to reduce their risk would be “a disaster” for Columbia. He said under that scenario, Columbia would have to liquidate 35% of its total portfolio, or $4 billion of junk bond securities, in 24 months, and that buyers wouldn’t pay full value to Columbia for those securities.

UAL in wings as possible target;Stock takes off on NWA bid
The stock price of UAL, United Airlines’ parent, has soared $12 in the two days since Checchi’s $121-a-share offer for NWA Inc. was announced. UAL rose $5 to $133 1/2 Tuesday. UAL had no comment on the rise in the company’s stock this week. The jump in UAL stock has been fueled by speculation that NWA’s spurned suitors – which include Marvin Davis and Pan Am Corp. – may use the money they raised for NWA to go after UAL. Or someone else may come forward. UAL is the strongest takeover candidate. [Kevin Murphy] says UAL’s asset value, after subtracting debt, is $200 a share. Here’s what could make UAL attractive to a suitor:

Stocks slip despite hot airline issues
“The market’s just taking a breath,” said Toronto analyst Dunnery Best, of Prudential-Bache Canada. “There’s some worry that the Canadian dollar’s continued strength is going to start hurting exporters.” On the NYSE, NWA was down 37 cents at $113.75 after soaring on Monday. Pan Am, a loser in the battle for NWA, was up 25 cents at $4. AMR Corp., the parent of American Airlines, had jumped $1.50 to $63.50. United Airlines’ parent UAL Corp. surged $5.62 to $133.50 after several analysts said they believe its asset value is far higher than its current stock price.

Would-Be Operator Has Been in a Slump
Corporate raider Saul Steinberg, whose Reliance Financial Services Corp. is one of Quadrex’s largest shareholders, has been pressuring the company to bolster its earnings. The publicity from Quadrex’s pursuit of Rancho Seco has at least helped to bolster the company’s stock price. Some experts have estimated that it would cost Quadrex $500 million to acquire and operate Rancho Seco – almost 10 times the company’s revenues of somewhat more than $50 million last year. It also has to show SMUD that it can handle potential financial liabilities if a nuclear accident occurs at Rancho Seco – a heavy burden.

Princeton-Newport, Drexel cheated, prosecutor says
[Mark Hansen] alleged that Drexel via [Bruce Lee Newberg] purchased stocks from Princeton-Newport, then sold them back a short time later to create bogus losses that Princeton-Newport declared as tax deductions. The indictment in the case, handed up last August, alleged $13 million in bogus tax losses. In another alleged scheme, Hansen claimed Newberg, with the help of the Princeton-Newport defendants, illegally drove down the stock price of C.O.M.B. Co. in 1985 before a Drexel offering of $25 million in bonds to the Minneapolis-based merchandiser.

Paramount Alleges That Time’s Bid for Warner Is Illegal
Time last week spurned a hostile $10.7-billion cash offer from Paramount in order to press ahead with its planned merger with Warner. Time’s board altered its original plan to exchange shares with Warner, however, to avoid putting the decision to a shareholder vote. The upshot is that Time will have to borrow heavily to acquire Warner, leaving its shareholders with no immediate cash payment and a declining stock price. Paramount initially sued Time and Warner on June 7-the day it launched its hostile bid for Time-in an effort to overturn some of Time’s anti-takeover defenses. Paramount lost its first round, however, when Chancellor William T. Allen rejected the hostile bidder’s request to stop Time and Warner from exchanging blocks of stock that left Time with 8.69% of Warner’s voting shares and left Warner with 11.04% of Time.

Lin Broadcasting Rebuffs $5.8-Billion McCaw Cellular Bid
Lin Broadcasting on Tuesday rejected a $5.8-billion takeover offer from McCaw Cellular Communications and said it was talking to various potential buyers and exploring other alternatives. The New York-based cellular telephone and broadcasting concern said the $120-a-share offer McCaw made on June 6 for the 90% of Lin that it doesn’t already own is inadequate. The offer, Lin said, discounted the company’s chances of acquiring Metromedia Inc.’s interests in cellular systems in New York and Philadelphia. (excerpt)

Stock prices slipped further Tuesday, despite another strong advance in airline issues, which sent the Dow Jones transportation index to a record high. Late futures-related selling and losses in the technology sector ended an afternoon of directionless activity as the Dow Jones industrial average fell 7.01 to close at 2472.88. “It’s just a nonevent, other than a few select stocks,” said Jack Baker, head of the equity block trading desk at Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc. “Unfortunately, I think everyone’s basically moving to the sidelines.”

Report Gives Boost to Local Firms’ AIDS Vaccine
An experimental AIDS vaccine made by two Washington area biotechnology companies is “one of the two strongest contenders” in the race to protect people from the deadly disease, according to a Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc. investor report released yesterday. Viral Technologies Inc., a subsidiary of Cel-Sci Corp. of Alexandria, and Alpha 1 Biomedicals Inc. of Washington began human tests of one of the AIDS vaccines, HGP-30, in Britain last month, the report said. The other vaccine cited — being developed by Merck & Co. of Rahway N.J., and Repligen Corp. of Cambridge, Mass. — had impressive initial results in chimpanzees but is not expected to be tested in humans before late next year.

Hard road ahead for auto stocks, analyst says
Auto stocks fell Wednesday after Jack V. Kirnan, senior auto analyst at Kidder, Peabody & Co., told investors to bail out of Ford and General Motors. He’d downgraded Chrysler to a “sell” more than a month earlier. Ford fell 3/8 to $48 3/4; GM, 5/8 to $40; Chrysler, 1/4 to $25 3/8. Answer: Stock prices today reflect a widespread belief in a “soft landing” in the auto industry. We don’t buy that argument. Our study of the used-car market shows the risk of a “hard landing” is much more likely than anticipated. Used-car prices relative to new cars are the weakest they’ve been since the recovery began. That lowers trade-in values and reduces demand for new cars.
