Free From Wage Hour Law.
The Washington Office of the
American Bankers Associate has
received ruling from the wage and
hour administrator holding that
For enforcement purposes the Wage
and Hour Division will regard en-
ployes engaged exclusively in the
sale of War bonds and War stamps to
private individuals as being engaged
in a local retailing capacity"
The effect of the ruling is to ex-
empt such bank employees from the
minimum wage and maximum hour
and overtime requirements of the
law. The word exclusively" appears
to be very important.

To War Plants

NEW york, Sept. 29.-Eleven de-
partment stores in cities ranging
from the Eastern seaboard to Des
Moines, Iowa, and st. Louis, Mo,
agreed today to turn over part or all
Of their air conditioning equipment
to help speed construction of vital
defense plants which cannot operate
without such apparatus.
The willingness of the stores to
sacrifice for the war effort was an
nounced by Lessing J. Rosenwald,
director Of the conservation division
of the War Production Board, who
indicated that air conditioned COM
fort would have to be abandoned for
the duration by ONCE workers,
theater-goers, hotel dwellers and
shoppers.
At a meeting of store representa-
tives, Rosenwald read a letter from
Donald M. Nelson in which the WPB
chairman explained the need for
calling upon private business for the
air conditioning apparatus.

tribute Immediately were Famous

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 29.-The
Secretary of States Office reported
today Is corporations had moved
their registered offices in two days
from Jersey City in fight against
taxation on intangibles.
Several others had left earlier,
fearing that new Hudson County
tax board, successor to one removed
by Gov. Charles Edison, would i'm
pose heavy assessments which would
combine with a heavy tax rate. At
present corporations are paying fat
rates, but taxes for next year will be
levied on valuations as of Thursday.
Most of those corporations mov-
ing out yesterday and today went
to rural Pennington, where the
assessments are high, but the tax
rate is only IA cents on each 500
because of ratables boosted by the
intangibles of big corporations, par
ticularly Standard Oil New Jersey
Corporations transferring there
yesterday were listed as:
The Sun Oil Co., United Fruit Co.,
Continental-Mexican Rubber Co.;

sv ths Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept, 29.--LiberalizA-
ton Of Government restrictions on
the use Of lead In war industry
plants to encourage its use instead
of scarcer metals vas forecast at an
early date by informed metal circles
today.
It was pointed out that the I'M
proved supply situation IN lead had
received ofncial recognition through
= No. 8 classification by the War
Production Beard, meaning 1t could
be used as 4 substitute, and trade
quarters expected this classification
to be translated into actual mean
ing shortly by revising the numerous
individual regulations governing use
Of the metal.
Drastically reduced consumption
due to restrictions and a continued
heavy flow Of foreign lead into this
country have built up huge stock
piles within the past several months,
1t was said.
While the possibility Of increas-
ing the flow OF the metal to civilian
industries was held to be remote at
this time, trade quarters believed
this vastly improved inventory posi-
ton would allow war plants to sub
'stitute lead in larger amounts for
copper, tin, zinc and steel.

the great organizations designed to
help make life more pleasant for
men engaged in the present war.
USO, OCD hospitality committees
and service centers for servicemen
all express surprise when questioned
about the admission Of merchant
seamen to their dances. lounges and
recreation facilities. And even where
a slight invitation has been ex-
tended to the seamen, the men
themselves express diffldence at ap-
pearing among uniformed men in
their ordinary civilian clothes.
The formation of the United Sea-
mems Service, Inc, setting up rest
and recreation centers in major ports
will help the situation somewhat.
Merchant seamen, however, still
have to pay full fare on railroads
when they are going from port to
port. They still pay full fare in
theaters. They still are outside the
vast number of activities operating
for all other men serving in the

Bond Discount Ruled
DeductibIe Loss
For Income Taxes
Ruling in American
Smelling Case Is
First Of Kind
By the Associated Press.

BY lHe ASsoclated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29.-The
Third Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
today that discount taken by cor
porations in an exchange Of bonds
for stock may be classed as deduct
ible loss on income tax reports and
may be amortized yearly during the
life Of the bond issue.
Pointing out that 1t was the first
ruling Of its kind by court, the
tribunal upheld a claim by the
American Smelling & Refining Co.
Of Jersey City, which sought a re-
fund Of $l6,7loe2 on 1925 income
taxes.
Judge Herbert r. Goodrich held
in the opinion that an exchange
Of bonds for stock is the same In
principle as If the bonds had been
sold on the open market and the
proceeds used to acquire the stock.
He also approved the use of New
York stock quotations to establish
market value Of the stock for con-
trast with the face value of the
bonds.
The Jersey City company claimed
a reduction of s128,539.32 in its 1925
tax report for amortization on
s37. 7.049 300 of first mortgage bonds
issued in 1917 to retire no. 900 shares
of 6 per cent series A and 300 900
shares of series B preferred stock Of
the American Smelters Securities
Co.. subsidiary which was
nquidated.
The company said 1t made the
exchange at an average discount Of
712 per cent.
The Treasury Department rejected
the company's claim on grounds that
no loss could be established except
by sale of bonds in the market and
use Of the proceeds for redemption.

Reports August Net
Far Above 1941
Eight Months Total
Shows Small Drop
From Yeor Ago
By EDWARD c. STONE.

Net earnings of the Chesapeake
a. Potomac Telephone Co. in August
amounted to $3.50, ,4o5, compared
with sSo. 1884 in the same month last
year, an increase of sl41.07l, accord
ing to the monthly statement filed
with the Public Utilities Commis-
sion today.
In the first eight months OF 1942.
net earnings totaled $983,779,
against $1,o45,2lo last year. a mod
crate decrease Of $41,431, due to
higher expenses. especially taxes.
Omcials explained that the AL
gust increase is not as startling as 1t
first appears to be. Certain retro
active items in the 1s41 report have
been adjusted to spread over the
months to which they are applic-
able, the chief item being Federal
tax accruals.
August operating revenues totaled
S1,965 1882 against sl.3l5.697 a year
ago. Operating expenses amounted
to $l,413,475 compared with s1.0l6,-
660 Operating taxes reached
Sl97,4 against S109,845 a year ago.
Interest deductions took Sl29, 1888
against S94.613 in August, 1941 Nom
operating income was substantially
higher.
There were $50, ,446 telephones in
service at the end of August, which
was an increase of 1892 telephones
over the previous month. Tele-
phone users made 39,075 900 calls
during the month, or 1901 900 more
than in August, 1941.
War Bond Drive Booming.
Building and loan associations and
cooperative banks are half way to
their goal of a s100,000,000 invest
ment in Series F and G war bonds,
telegram received today from the
United States Savings and Loan
League by the District Building and
Loan League stated. To date these
associations have bought $50, ,OS8, 900
Government bonds for their own ac-
count.
Washington's building and loan
associations have been asked to pur-
chase $3,000,000 In war bonds for
their own portfolios, the drive hav-
ing nothing to do with sales to the
public. The campaign, which started
recently, will continue for the rest OF
the year.
