Turn Back War Profit

Renegotiators permitted one
big war contractor 9 per cent
return on his gross before taxes;
this would mean about a 1.8 per
cent net return after taxes and
not counting postwar refunds.
And one big East Coast ship
building firm wanted its profits
slashed to 3 per cent on the
gross, but the government re-
fused and insisted that the firm
accept 4 per cent. Federal ex-
perts feared that a lower figure
would result in impairment of
the firms capital structure.
Army specialists like to tell,
too. Of the Polish accountant
who brought in a cashiers check
for 100000 payable TO the
treasury department. He had
recommended that one of his
clients turn back part of war
profits. Later he returned with
a $4,000 check from another
company he serviced.

NEW YORK, Feb. 6 (INS). -
Restaurateurs, lost in rationing,

Point rationing, which goes into

Fniestone Opens I'd
Synthetic Plant
Capacity Equal to 200. 900
Acres Of Rubber Trees

CLEVELAND, o., Feb. g.
Firestone Tire and Rubber Com
pany has put the second of its
government-owned synthetic rub
Der plants into production.
The company's first governments
owned synthetic plant went into
operation last April
At the same time. Firestone
ANNOUNCED a, new development
that is expected to achieve great
savings in rubber used in tires on
army combat vehicles. The combat
tire now in use enables vehicle
to continue operation after il has
been punctured or torn by shell
fire, but it requires considerable
additional rubber TO build.
The new device now under test
would allow use of the conven-
tional type of tire at the same
time enabling the vehicle to func-
tion after the tire had been de-
fiated by gun fire or other hazards.
The new synthetic plant which
has just begun operating gives
Firestone in Akron a capacity
equal to 100000 acres of rubber
plantations.
Firestone also reported that
butadiene made from alcohol has
produced excellent synthetic rub
Der and that il is equal in all
respects TO butadiene made from
petroleum.
