to accept the invitation to a Feb.

Jack & Heintz have been argu-
ing with the War Department
for a long time, privately and in
public, over a little matter Of re-
negotiation of their $1,000, 600
profits on 1941 and 1912 war

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

Just how much has the firm
made out of war contracts?
How much better off are the
owners than before the war?
STARTED WITH 100000
Jack & Heintz, Inc, was or
gained in November, 1910, with
a capital investment of 500, 900.
In the first two years Of their
operations, the officers and sole
owners of the businessZWilliam
S. Jack, William r. Jack, Ralph

500. The war department ruled
that $304, 500 of this should be
considered distribution of prof
its, and they allowed" the part
ners total salaries of 1892, 900.
This isn't exactly hay, but bear
in mind they had to pay personal
income taxes on it and consider
it as payment for their services
and abilities as production men
and managers for the govern
ment.
All Jack & Heintz business
has been with the government
AS matter of fact, the govern
ment really built up the com
pany to do big business.
First, the government through
the Defense Plant Corporation
spent $3,439,O00 to build fac
tories and purchase equipment
for use by the company, but a.
no cost to the company. After
the war, Jack 4 Heintz will
probably have first option to buy
these facilities, presumably a
less than cost.
Second, through what are
known as government "Certifi
Gates of Necessity" Jack &
Heintz were able to build anC
buy an additional So, 100000
worth of plant and facilities fol

WHY THE PROTEST?

General Marshall says he has received "vehen'-
ent protests" from the American public because the
Army is using flame throwers against the Jops. Why?
Even before the story Of the mass torture Of 3d.
toons defenders there had been stories Of Jop borb
orsm to make the blood boil Whot about the eye
witness accounts Of American wounded boyoneted,
Of American soldiers beheoded? What about the exc
cution Of the captured flyers who bombed Tokyo?
Don't the Vehement professors" reod the popers2
Or do they thing thot rots should be extermnoted

their exclusive use in carrying
out their contracts to manufac-
ture equipment for the Army Air
Forces. This S2,450, 900 is being
charged against government
business as a cost of operation,
SO that at the end of the war
Jack & Heintz will have these
facilities free and clear as gift
from the government.
INVESTMENT TRIPLED
Third, from the profits of its
sales to the government, Jack &
Heintz have been able TO take
1852 900 and invest it i'm their
plant and equipment, thus bring
ing their firms net worth to
1852, 900, or three-and-a half
times their original investment
of 100000. This is in addition
TO the S304, 500 which the part
ners called salaries, the govern
ment called distributed profits
and you can call anything you
like. What it adds up to is $780,
500 take on two years business.
For the third years business,
ending Oct. 81, 1943, the COM
pany's published profit and loss
statement shows a profit before
taxes of $2l, l27, 900, or 81, 1885,
900 after taxes, all of which is
earmarked for postwar CONVEX
sion and renegotiation. This last
figure is five per cent on the
company's 1913 sales of over
S102, 900, 900. For 1914, Bill Jack
has set goal of Sl50.000,000
sales. Somehow, it doesn't sound
like the poorhouse.
