On the
business
Front
By WARD SCHULTZ
Financial Editor

General Motors Corporation,
(which now knows pretty we'll
where II stands on contract re-
negotiation of contracts, is
working out its final tax prob
lens for 1912. This influence,
together with the ultimate deci-
sion on postwar reserve deduc
tons, will probably determine
how far final 1912 earnings will
be above or below the approx
mately S2.40 a common share
figure indicated by actual OPP
erations. This would compare
with %.44 earned in 1941.
In any event. earnings should
comfortably cover the 81 a
share paid on the common dur
ing the year.
GINS 1912 approach 10 the
renegotiation problem was indi-
Gated by the reserve of about
S35 900 900 set aside for the pur-
pose in the first nine months,
Dow-Jones reports. II is under
stood that while the final word
may not have been said on all
government contracts, the effect
of renegotiation won't be too
far out Of line with the reserve
policy.
In the first nine months
postwar reserve OF $1,000. 900.
plus an additional one of Sl0.-
100000 for possible plant con-
version expenses was set-HP.
There is no available estimate
of how much more will be added
at the year-end, but il probably
won't make a major difference
per share on 43. 500, 900 common
shares.
