An effort was made to investigate It. After necessary arrangements had been completed it was discovered that the alleged advance was in patent conflict with the Sperry automatic pilot; already in use in Jthe United States. It j& therefore not true and is misleading to allege that Bendix did not obtain the objective sought in this matter. "Throughout the years preceding this war, thq intent of Bendix in its dealings with companies in foreign nations was known to our Army and Navy. The result is clearly reflected in the hundreds of different types of equipment for aviation, ground warfare, marine warfare and communications which have been developed by Bendix engineers in closest cooperation with the arrned services, and which are now helping to win the war against the Axis.

At the time of the reorganization GM&N was *a solvent company, and had fully earned its fixed charges all but three of the years 1931-1940, inclusive, and accordingly its debt assumed undisturbed by the present company and its capital stock converted into capital stock of GM&O. The M&O, formerly con¬ trolled by Southern Railway Co., had been in receivership since 1932, and in the reorganization its fixed interest debt, except equipment obli¬ gations, was substantially scaled down and its capital stock was not recognized. As a result, on consummation of the reorganization, the initial fixed interest debt of GM&O amounted to approximately 35% than the total of its predecessors and its initial fixed charges amounted to about 40% less than the combined annual fixed charges its predecessors.

Completion of this financing will bring Nickel Plate's non-equipment debt down to $102,433,000 as of the end of the year, compared with $151,087,000 at the beginning of 1937, making a total reduction of $48,654,000, or 32%, in the eight-year .period. The plan for early retirement of the 3'/2s in the manner contemplated is designed to lay the foundation for a refunding operation under which it is hoped a new series of approximately $42,000,000 of lowinterest-rate refunding mortgage bonds, which would then be a first mortgage on the entire system of approximately 1,700 miles, may be substituted for the $6,500,000 of first 4s of 1950, the $26,058,000 of refunding 5'/2s of 1974, and the $10,000,000 collateral loan. The 4s of 1950 can be redeemed at par but only upon an interest date follow¬ ing six months' notice. The refunding 5V2s can be redeemed at 107V2 on an interest date following GO days' notice. " The company further announces that "upon completion of the trans¬ actions now proposed, it is hoped that the $59,875,000 of refunding 4 Vis of 1978, which will then also be a part of the first mortgage on the entire system, can be refunded at a lower rate of interest."
