One half of these two peayments equais $111,187.00-plus that received on Golt guns which makes a total of $225 ,231.00, This gives sublicense.

Inasmuch as Beleium is a friendly nation it would look as though there should be no trouble getting such ¢consent. This is something we will have to follow up, Note what you say about Colt's development regarding the Recoil Operated Machine Gun and its adaptability to being air-cooled, water-cooled I am made about or to aircraft, This is of course a good just wondering if they haven't got their minds up to something like the Gas eperecne besides, this however, thing, but pretty well You will know The other: day Jack inquired what we could expect in the way of dividends, and so upon receipt of the following wire from Chase I phoned Jack: "Colt's deposited your account 225".

Browning, sent you a convinced Jay Teller machine gun contracts u usal way, and for the I have telegram saying that were signed last friday eee quantities expected. that we in should the govt. take out, th or at least make application for patents on the accelerator for the 37mm. He is preparing the application which should be ready in about two or three months, he says. The application will depend upon whether 1 can be appointed administrator of Daddys estate for that purpose, which will require some legal proceedure, andof course, brings up the questions which you mentioned in connection with the settling of the estate. This accelerator is important, as you know, and will prolong the payment of royalties considerably, which prolongation, I think, probably outweighs the other considerations. If you think as I do, I can write Jack Rice to look up the legal proceedure and take any steps which can be taken in my abscence, prepar- atory for my return.(He might you micht phone him about it. get it done by that time) Or Rafter has figured out a scheme for handling the part payment for installation on the twenty guage overunder, which we are considering, in the event of possibly going ahead with a deal for that gun.

My understanding of the situation is that the object is to not only tie up the bonds so that they cannot. be sold to the opposition, but that a receivership may be requested. It seens that at least 25% of the bondholders must join together in making application for a receivership, and the Bondholders Protective Agreement seems to be the best medium for doing this. You will Enclosed are copies of the latest patent sheets. notice the patent taken out by Fred Moore on the muszle attachment we to for machine guns. In sending the old to.

Automatie sales You will note that, while encouraging to me. decreased from $6810.00 to $4650.00, Super sales increased from thereby increasing the cross revenue $1499.00 to $10, 871.00, from $9425.00 to S17, 252.00. d.8. just wrote that for February there will be a profit of something over $600.00 after paying $1000.00 to the parent company for royalty and 5% profit. It just goes to show what we can do if we can get the guns « right. Enclosed herewith is also 8 statement regarding preferred Stocks which Wayne just submitted. You will notice that Utah Power Light Stock does not compare very well with the other stocks, none of which he would advise buying. From this statement it is plain thet Utah Power & Light is clear out of none with other stocks from a standpoint of price at the present time. oO action will be taken, | however, until you return or until you hay: a.

After going into the matter it was plain that, like so many things now gO ir. days, into it resolved the matter Bennett by itself letter, from the political i again mentioned into it politics will angle. gg and, to riefly, be district, due to strong political pull, ee is got a very ereat extent.

He straight way saw Mr, Benning, who wants a few days to think the matter over, but from what was said it would look as though the matter of a job for Frank is quite encouraging. In order to avoid criticism, however, it will have to be handled in 4 manner about everything that is soiling on.

The last sale on these bonds, sO far as we re able to determine, is in the neichborhood of $50.00. I have read e detailed analysis of these bonds and can only sey that the situation is very complicated. Holding companies, foreign properties, German exchenge, ete., 411 they mixed should in together, now fo up. Inasmuch as we are selling these bonds, Enclosed herewith is a Memorandum relatine to northern States Power Company bonds. This is an AA bond, yield~ ing 5% end selling at 96.
