ported a net loss after taxes of
$22,364 in the six months ended
June 80 as against a net loss

The company pointed out
that premiums written during
that period totaled $4,000,
compared with $1,143,3O0 for
the same period in 1862 and
$4,000 two years ago. This
was less of a decrease than ex-
pected, it added, because of a
switch from direct writing to
writing exclusively through
agents and brokers.
The report to stockholders
said there was a net under
writing loss Of $l20,813 for the
first six months this year as
against $82.277 for the same

7-CENT NICKEL
Silver Was
Cheaper in
War Years

A footnote to the Treasury
Departments long experience
with silver involves the lowly
scent piece, which isn't sup
posed to contain any silver at
all.
During World War II, nickel
metal was In short supply, so
the Treasury decided to sub
Stitute a pinch of silver, which
it had stockpiled in huge guam
titles at the West Pont de-
pository.
All the "nickels" minted from
1912 to 1945 were Of an alloy
containing IS per cent silver,
Sc per cent copper and 8 per
cent manganese. The manga
neSe, it was discovered, had to
be included so the the coins
would be accepted by vending
machines.
In the last 20 years, the price
Of silver has almost tripled,

cents. The manganese, unfor-
tunately. is difficult to refine
out, so there has been no great
rush to melt the coins down.

Unexpected Changes
The tax package President

ports I saw revealed few OF
the reform gimmicks" which
begged down the bill in Con-
gress. The obvious sluggishness
in the economy last fall was
adding a note Of urgency to
proposals for tax reduction to
stimulate business investment
as well as consumer spending
and to keep the faltering bust
ness advance alive. There was
agreement among all shades of
economic political opinion that
punitive tax rates were acting
as a dangerous brake on the
economy. The squabbles over
tax reforms could not be fore
seen because we didn't expect
such controversial proposals,
The character Of this Con-
gress and the civil rights issue
could not be anticipated either.
Confidence that tax reductions
would be voted to take effect at
some date in 1868 ranged from
President Kennedy to many of
the most informed men in in
dustrial financial, and labor
circles.

session of Congress adjourns,
major tax relief will have been
voted both for individuals and
corporations, beginning in 1864.
A good guess still Is that the
net reduction (after reforms)
will be in the neighborhood Of
$40 billion a year, to take eff
feet over a two-year period.
The economy will need this
stimulant increasingly as the
months roll on. We are NOV
ing toward the 31st month of
this business expansion, which
makes it "old" by any yard
stick for peacetime business
advances. The key force now
keeping our economy in an up
ward trend is the rising rate of
business spending on new
plants and equipment - and
much of this rise stems d.
rectly from the tax incentives
Congress and the administra-
ton gave businessmen In 1862
to spur this vital spending. The
need for substantial tax reduc-
tons is as great today as ever.
There will be bitches before
an acceptable tax bill energies.
Nothing is set yet. The timing
Of action is fuzzy. Still, tax
cuts to take effect beginning
in 1864 are likely.
What would this mean to
you? If you want to crawl out
on the limb with me, 1t would
be sound tax strategy to try
in the remaining months of
this year to shift some income
from 1868 into 1864 and to
move ahead some 1864 de-
ductible expenses into 1868. BY
so doing, you'll reduce your
1863 taxable income and raise
your 1864 income and If tax
rates are cut for 1864, you'll
achieve an overall tax saving.
