In spite of our continuing efforts to obtain relief, we have been unable to secure an adjustment of prices up to the present time. Similar conditions, not quite so extreme, apply to other grains and products.' "The effect of taxes on earnings is illustrated by the fact that in 1940, shortly before the last change in the dividend rate, the ordinary corporation tax rate was 24%, whereas the present corresponding rate is 40%. This-difference in the ordinary rate increases the tax charge relative to prewar base earnings by an amount which figures more than $1 per share on the common stock.

Mr. Robertson pointed out that approximately 10,000 of these employees were added to the Westinghouse rolls October 28, when Westinghouse was assigned by the Navy to operate the Naval Ordinance Plant at Center Line, near Detroit, Mich. New orders received by Westinghouse last month amounted to $110,888,403 or 29% more than in October 1942. The company's of unfilled orders at the backlog end of October this year amounted to $976,101,040, compared with $889,528,642 at the same date a year ago. "These figures," observed Mr. Robertson, "certainly show that the production phase of this yar is by no means finished, any more than is the fighting. I think this is brought home to us sharply as we prepare to observe the second anniversary of Pearl Harbor Day. "We are still 2,000 miles from Tokyo and 800 miles from Berlin It's going to take a lot more production records to give our troops all the weapons and equipment they will need to travel those miles and wipe out the treachery of Pearl Harbor." 8,000 $413,355 with $6,634,685 1943 oper. equipment $2,405,892 106,545 Balance accordance $1,805,323 $645,239 $6 stock adm. • ______ $43,513 _______ (avge. cost basis) with company delivered more equipment for the fighting fronts and industries in October than in any other month in the company's history, it was reported Nov. 24 by A.
