A 150-mile-an-hour car with
three carburetors and a body
that was tested in a wind tun-
mel is due here about mid
April.
It's the new British-built
Jaguar IKE sports car with
a hard top, soft top or both and
you won't get much change out
of $4,000. The racy-looking,
racy-performing car gets its
world premiere at the Inter-

New York April 1-9. Manhat-
tan Auto expects it's first one
around April IL.
About 600 pounds lighter

265 horsepower.

While the sale of American
built automobiles abroad is up,
it isn't likely that Japan'S new
move to let private citizens buy
them will do much to liven the
market.
The Japanese government,
starting about May, will allo-
cate $2.17 million to buy 1000
foreign cars of all makes and
models. Then the Government
sells them through dealers and
takes most of the profit to
build a ship for travelling trade
fairs, the Associated Press said
last week.
They plan to buy $50 "big"
cars such as our compactS,
FOrdS, ChevrOlets and Ply
mouths.
Ford sold over twice that
many FairlaneS to the United
States government last week.
Sample prices on the Japa-
neSe market:
! Mercedes Benz 3OO-D-$14,-
583: Ford Consul deluxe-$3,-
722; Chevrolet ImpaIa-$6, ,166
and a Ford Falcon deluxe
$4,972.

1t doesn't signify danger, but

2. Geek" squeals: These
sound like bathing beauties
stepping into a cold ocean. The
sounds are high-pitched and
intermittent; a warning of poor
contact and a check should be
made Immediately.
3. Ground glass Squeal,
Sounds like someone crunching
light bulbs. Minor adjustment
will eliminate it If the brake
lining is good.
4. Wire-bruSh squeal: Sounds
like a wire brush pulled ovel
glass; occurs half way through
a stop and indicates improp-
erly adjusted brakes or poor
contact.

Of your property was destroyed.
A most important reminder:
Millions of us have lived
through one of the most severe
winters on record. If you suf-
fered storm damage, put to-
gether Immediately and keep
a record Of your losses along
with any supporting docu-
ments. Even if the damage oc-
Cured in 1861, you'll have to
have these records next year
when you file your 1861 return.
One unfavorable tax devel-
opment for homeowners in
1860 was a decision by the Sixth
Circuit Court of Appeals up
holding the view of the Treas
ury and a lower court that the
widespread Dutch Elm disease
which has been destroying
trees throughout the East is
not a deductible casualty loss.
The Treasury has consistent
ly disallowed any casualty de-
duction for losses caused by
this tree disease and a lower
court has gone along, but in
view Of the fact that the Treas
ury finally agreed that termite
damage to a house is a casualty
deduction If the damage is rela-
lively sudden, the hope had
been a higher court would de-
eide the same for bug damage
to a tree. But the Circuit
Court turned thumbs down.

Qn collaboration with the Research
Institute OF Americal
If your house, automobile or
other non-businesS property
was damaged by vandalism last
year, a 1860 Tax Court decision
can help you cut your loss by
allowing you a tax deduction
for it.
The Treasury says damages
caused by vandalism aren't de-
ductible casualty losses and the
Tax Court had agreed with that
view in one Of it's earlier cases.
But last year, the court re-
versed its attitude on vandal-
ism damage and said this is a
deductible casualty loss-even
though the Treasury still says
mo deduction" In the new
case, vandalS had broken into
a house which was under con-
struction and damaged a new
stove, washing machine, dryer
and deep freeze. The court. over
the Treasury's objection, let the
unhappy houseowner deduct
81 800 as a casualty loss.
Also owners of business or
income-producing property who
sustain casualty losses received
a top-notch break from the
Treasury in 1860 on how to
figure the amount of loss.
Under the old Treasury rule,
the deductible loss was figured,
in effect, by considering that a
portion Of the property was
destroyed.
For instance, suppose you
own a business building which
had a $4,000 deprecated cost
and is actually worth 100000
A fire, or other casualty, drops
its value from 100000 before
the fire to $4,000 after the
fire. The Treasury. formerly
said that since your property
went down Is per cent in
value, your loss deduction was

creased its net earnings by 81
per cent over the previous year.
The total rose from $19,888, 900
to $24, 100000.
Locally, AMF operates an ad-
vanced research department in
Alexandria, Va, at 1925 N.
Royal street. 1t opened a new
plant on the Shirley highway
in Springfield, Va, last fall for
producing missile componentS.
Total employment by AMF
locally is about 400. D. j. Graves
is general manager of the Alex
andria division.
After payment of dividends
on preferred stock. net earnings
in 1860 equalled $3.06 a share
compared with $2.55 in 1859
on 136,297 fewer shares.
The AMF board chairman
said an outstanding fourth
quarter helped push the COM
pany to its record highs. The
final three months of 1860 in
creased total revenues 81 per
cent over the like period a
year earlier.
Among the most publicized
products in AMF'S diversified
tion in recent years has been
its device for setting up bowl
ing pins. Labeled the Automa-
tic Pinspotter, this product
continued to enjoy good sales.
Mr.. Patterson said 14,900 Pin
spoilers were shipped during
the year, a record high.
Shipments of AMI bowling
lanes and supplies last year
exceeded 1859 by 18 per cent.
The Bowling Products Group
Is the largest producer of rev.
enue and profits for the COM
pany.
Gross revenues for 1860 were
1851 ,985, ,000-an increase of %
per cent over 1924, 4,713,0 900 in
1859. The figures include in
come of companies acquired by
AMF during the year.
AMF purchased all the stock
Of Robert Legg, Ltd. of London,
a 117-year-old Supplier of
equipment to process tobacco
leaf. 1t also stepped up its in
vestment in foreign subsidiaries
from $3.7 million to $11.3 mil
lion, and increased its percent
age of ownership in AMF Ster-
ling, Ltd. of Australia, biggest
maker Of bakery machinery in
the Far East.
The company ended 1860
with an untitled order backlog
Of $191, 1897, 900, 20 per cent
above the 1859 backlog.

cost of $4,000 or only $12,500.
But in 1860. the Treasury
adopted a new rule that the
loss is the drop in actual value
but no more than the depre-
ciated cost. Now see how this
helps you, the property owner
discussed above. Your loss de-
duction becomes the full $25,-
900 drop in value, or twice the
deduction allowed under the
old rule.
You, as an owner Of busi-
ness or income producing
property. got another break
for 1860 when the Treasury
changed this rule, for it gave
taxpayers with taxable years
beginning before January IT,
1860, the choice Of using either
the old or new rule. Since the
vast majority Of taxpayers
have a calendar year beginning
January 1. 1860, the vast ma
jority are entitled to this
choice.
Any Of you who suffered a
business casualty loss last year
should check carefully which
method will give you the great
er deduction and, Of course,
choose that one. The older rule
can give you a bigger deduc-
ton If your property was worth
less in 1860 than its depre-
ciated cost.
AS an illustration, suppose
