state legislatures also have so-called "un-
isex" insurance bills before them that would
ban discrimination based on gender in set-
ting insurance rates and pension plan bene-
fits.
The insurance industry said eliminating
all sex-based differences from insurance
would ironically cost women $360 million
more per year for life insurance premiums
and $700 million more per year for auto in-
surance premiums.
The industry has also said that the cost of

the level of men’s benefits.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Fred, the comic
cockatoo who was once a star on the ABC-TV
show "Baretta," has flown the coop at Univer-
sal Studios and may be trying to become a val-
ley bird.
Fred - all white except for a yellow comb
— has been missing since Monday, his keeper
said.
At the end of a show Monday, there was a
“sudden noise, a very loud bang," said Steve
Barrons. “The bird was scared and flew off."
Fred was last seen soaring toward Los Ange-
les’ San Fernando Valley section.

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market

Among early volume leaders, Fluor rose %
