pletion of the contract.
Recently, representatives of two
airplane engine manu- facturers
sounded out the treasury on pros
poets for closing agreements in
cases involving plant expansion
for foreign war contracts. These
manufacturers pointed out that the
additional facilities would be avail
able for contracts from the United
States government if an emergency
developed
Several other manufacturers, who
would be asked to produce planes
and other military equipment if this
country were drawn into war, have
indicated reluctance TO expand
plants to meet foreign demands be-
cause OF fear they might be saddleo
with extra taxes after the European
orders end.
New Plants and equipment would
be reflected in computing COM
pany's net worth for income tax
purposes. Therefore, before engaging
in expansion, manufacturers want
assurance in advance as to the rate
at which they can deduct in their
income tax returns for depreciation
and obSoleScence of new equipment
and factories if an abrupt cessation
of European orders renders them
idle.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 20. up
New state taxes and a plan to en-
list federal aid in boosting Cali
fornia's old age pension payments
to $50 or $50 monthly for persons
over 60 years of age were proposed
by Gov. Culbert L. Olson last night
The governor did not specify what
type of new taxes would be sought,
but said he would ask the legisla-
ture when it meets in special SeS-
sion next January to petition con-
gress TO assume full responsibility
for an old age pension of $50 for
persons over 60.
AS an alternative the federal gov
ernment would be requested to low
er by five years the present re-
quirement of IS and increase the
federal contribution to $50 monthly
for each pensioner, he said.
Pending favorable federal action,
Olson said he would ask the legis-
lature TO lower the age limit to
so, and adopt amendments to the
present law waving all claims of
state or counties to property left
by pensioners at death.
The governor will meet with
heads of state departments today
to discuss methods of financing in
creased pensions and other SUBJ
jects to be presented for action by
the special legislative session.
Olson said 135,000 persons over
65 years now receive California
pensions and an additional 10000
would be added to the rolls if the
age limit were reduced to 80. The
present maximum payment of So.

the present method of delivery and
factory production occasioned by

Because of this delay, Philbrick

The government today considered
special deals with airplane manufac-

threatened tax increases which are
said to be preventing factory eXpan-
sion felt to be necessary TO meet
possible u. S. wartime needs
The Internal Revenue bureau
would be able to accord special tax
treatment under its administrative
authority. it was said. New legisla-
ton would not be required.
1t was understood the concessions
would be closing agreements be-
tween manufacturers and the gov
ernment which would stipulate in
advance the rate at which plant de.
probation and obsolescence would
be computed
Last September, Secretary OF the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr.,
informed both the war and navy
departments of his willingness to
negotiate closing agreements in the
case of army or navy contracts sub
ject to the VinSon- n-Trammell act.
This act limits contractors profits
on naval vessels to 10 per cent and
on military and naval aircraft to
IL per cent of the contract price.
Such a closing agreement, Nor
genthau explained. would set forth
in advance of the completion of con-
tract the manner in which the in
ternal revenue bureau would treat
the cost of any special facilities in
the computation Of the contractors
profits under the VinSon-Trammell
act. Normally, in the absence OF
such an agreement, the cost of new
facilities may be amortized by de-
