It was felt that the Nickel Plate preferred stockholders would have preferred to have their claims settled in a tsx-free exchange of that character rather than place their reliance upon ultimate liquidation of dividend arrearages in cash—a process which, if accomplished at all, will take many years of Nickel Plate prosperity. ''Chesapeake and Ohio plans to renew its offer to merge or con¬ solidate with the Pere Marquette on the same terms of exchange as those approved by the board of directors of the Pere Marquette at its meeting on Sept. 18. "Elimination of the Nickel Plate from the proposed plan leaves the status of the Wheeling & Lake Erie uncertain at this time because the Nickel Plate, which owns a 33% interest in the Wheeling, has indicated a desire to negotiate for the purchase of the Chesapeake & Ohio's holdings of Wheeling stock." Opposition to the proposed unification of the C. & O. and the Nickel Plate developed openly on Oct. 13 when Donner Estates. Inc., which represents approximately 60,000 preferred shares of Nickel Plate out of the 360,577 shares outstanding, said the stock would be in 1945 *13,780 3,141,165 of stock less not received $472,984 railway railway oper.

More than 506,000 tons of these castings were made between Pearl Harbor and V-J Day. But, as Mr. Cannon points out in the letter, the tonnage alone tells very little of the story, since these castings were complex in design and were required to be within unusually narrow tolerances, both metallurgically and. as to physical dimensions.

AND BUSINESS—Corporation was incorporated in Dela¬ ware Sept. 23, 1936, and acquired all of the right, title and interest formerly of Grigsby-Grunow Co. in and to the trademarks, "Majestic"" and "Mighty Monarch of the Air" and other trademarks, trade names, copyright, patents and patent applications. Corporation was ' reorganized in October, 1939. Since 1937, Majestic has manufactured all its radios, its manu¬ facturing operations being relatively simple, consisting primarily of the assembly of parts produced by others to its specifications. Thus condensers, coils, speakers, transformers, tubes, resistors and other *' parts and cabinets are purchased from other companies many of which also supply such parts to other radio set manufacturers. :< From June, 1942, when manufacture of all civilian radio receiving sets was halted by Government order, to the unconditional surrender of Japan in August, 1945, all operations of Majestic were for the • U. S. Government on direct contracts or as sub-contractor, such operations consisting, except for crystal manufacture, as in its peace¬ time business ' principally of the assembly of parts produced by others to Majestic'sj specifications or to Government specifications. Government officials have agreed to accept payment of $62,500 less applicable tax credits of $25,000 in full settlement of all liabilities of Majestic for Government work for the year ended May 31, 1944. Based upon the formula used by the Renegotiation Board in deter¬ mining the amount of excess profit as defined by the Renegotiation. Act for the year ended May 31, 1944, no reserve is required for the year ended May 31, 1945, or for the two months ended July ' 1944 1943 1942 1945 $13,861,744 817,269,002 $17,353,382 $15,331,921 6,521,408 7,104,238 6,862,00.9 2,344,558 1,970,519 2,040,487 2,993,392 1,396,397 railway from Net The stock is issued outstanding and does not represent •BUSINESS £0 the kwh., " ' railway.-— from Net Co., New York, on Oct. 30 offered at share 100,407 shares of common stock (par $1).
