What's New
In Business
No Claim Scheme
TO Settle Contracts
By WARD SCHULTZ

The armed services have mt
on a new plan for speeding set
Element of Cancelled war con-
tracts. All they need is approval
from the bureau Of internal rev.
enue, according 10 the Wall
Street Journal.
Called the no claim" pro-
cedure, here is how the plan
would work;
A contractor would be per-
mftted TO waive his termlna-
ton claim against the govern
ment and take immediate
control of inventory on hand
The contractor would then be
in a position to clear his plant
OF leftover war materials and
get down TO the business OF
civilian production without
waiting for decisions and orders
from Washington on what to do
with this and what 10 do with
that.
This procedure would mean a
loss to the contractor. but would
be offset by allowing the loss as
a tax reduction and by ADJUST
ments in renegotiation of profits

change its traditional position in
the case of losses growing out of
waiver OF contract termination
claims against the government.
The position of the war and
navy departments is that il will
make no financial difference TO
the government in the end and
will simplify the termination
problem and speed reconversion.
The result of the mo claim"
procedure was described by one
official this way: 1T works out
to be automatically sound for
both the government and the
contractor without making the
contractor go through the eye
OF the accounting needle. The
only question is whether the
government covers the contrac-
tors loss by a check from the
war department or through tax
deductions and renegotiation.
The dollars and cents effect is
the same"
