Packard And Studebaker May Merge By DAVID J. WILKIE AP Automotive Editor NEW YORK Stockholders of Packard Motor Car Co. and the Studebaker Corp. will vote Aug. 17 on whether to combine the. two pioneer auto companies. A consolidation of the two re- maining “independents” among the car makers has been approved by their directors. The plan calls for election of James J. Nance, 53- year-old president of Packard, as president and principal executive officer of the new company. The new organization would be knoWn as the Studebaker-Packard Corp. Technically the program pro- poses the purchase by Packard of Studebaker’s assets Paul G. Hoffman, 63-year-old Stu- debaker board chairman, will be- come chairman of the new com- pany. Harold S. Vance, 63, presi- dent of Studebaker, will head an executive operating group. . Principal headquarters of the new company will be in Detroit, home of Packard. Submitted to stockholders will be a proposal for reclassification of Packard stock on the bases of one share for each five presently held. Then Studebaker stockholders, if they approve the. proposal, would get 1% shares of the new com- pany stock for each share of Stu- debaker common they now have. The net result of the stock tran- saction will be that the new Stu- debaker-Packard organization will have about 6% million shares of stock outstanding. Two distinct and separate sales organizations will be maintained to handle Packard’s medium and high-priced lines and Studebaker’s low and low-medium priced cars and over-all truck line. The projected Studebaker-Pack- ard combination is the latest move among the smaller concerns in their fight against the almost overwhelming competition of the industry’s larger concerns. Last year Kaiser-Frazer and Willys- Overland joined forces. A few weeks ago Nash-Kelvinator and Hudson combined to become Amer- ican Motors Corp. All six of the small car com- panies together have been able to garner less than five per cent of the auto market so far this year. General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have accounted for more than 95 per cent. i Page 10 Moscow Papers Launch Blast Against U.S. LONDON, (® —Moscow’s news- Papers joined in a bitter new prop- aganda blast today against the United States, accusing it of touch- ing off the fighting in Guatemala. The Soviet Communist party or- gan Pravda also renewed the perennial Russian theme that the United States is consp/ring to start a new world war. Moscow radio quoted articles from Pravda, Izvestia and Trud blaming the United States for the Guatemalan fighting. “No matter how U.S. propagan- da: distorts the facts,” Pravda asserted, “the whole world sees that the armed attack on Guatema- la. has :been instigated, prepared and carried out by the U.S. ruling circles who are using their hire- lings for this purpose. “Before world public opinion, American ruling circles stand ex- THE KEY WEST CITIZEN posed as aggressors against little Guatemala.” Tourists Shop For Uranium SALT LAKE CITY (#—Uranium brokers here report that they’ve found a new clientele—tourists.

Citizen Is Mixed Up In Revolt By JULIUS GOLDEN ALBUQUERQUE; —Joseph | | Rendon, who disclosed Guatema- _ |la’s revolutionary D-day eight days _ | before the battle trumpet sounded, | |today was somewhere in Central America with warring political exiles. Although his exact whereabouts remained unknown, all indications were that the former New Mexico congressional candidate was work- |ing closely with’ exiled “liberation army” leaders either in Guate- mala or Tegucigalpa, Honduras. Rendon disclosed the exiles’ in- vasion plan in a letter postmarked June 10 from Honduras. Written to an Albuquerque friend, it said: “Plans are to start an invasion for the weekend of the 13th which means your pal will be in the middle of blood and thunder about Friday, Saturday or Sunday, June 18, 19, 20.” The invading forces stormed into Guatemala June 18. Rendon, during World War II, was an OSS agent in Central Amer- ica for the United States. He stayed in Guatemala after the war and later returned to New Mexico. In 1952, he attempted to gain the Democratic nomination for land commissioner but was ‘disqualified when it was discovered he was a registered Republican: He was de- feated in his bid for the Republican congressional nomination in ‘the New Mexico primary last May 4. He is believed to be highly re- garded by the Guatemalan exiles.

Reports from New Delhi said Chou will stop off‘in’the Indian capital en route home for a hud- die. with Prime Minister Nehru. The Indochina peace problem was expected te loom large in their talks. Indian sources said Chou and his party were scheduled to leave Geneva Wednesday morning, arriving in New Delhi on. Thurs- day. By the time Chou departs direct talks between the warring parties in Indochina probably will be ar- ranged, and the major military problems of halting the conflict will be in their hands. Another secret session of the full nine-party conference was sched- uled for this afternoon. France’s delegations hoped by then to have arrangements completed for the additional direct military talks, in- cluding one of French, Vietminh and Laotian representatives, and the other of Vietminh and Cam- bodians. . Problems of a cease-fire in Viet Nam already are being negotiated by French and Vietminh military leaders here. After the other top diplomats left Sunday, Chou. stayed on for private talks with representatives of Laos and Cambodia, Finally, he brought them together last night with Pham Van Dong, vice pre- mier of the Communist-led Viet- minh.

The reserve board’s move fol- lowed close on last week’s an- nouncement of an upturn in indus- trial production in May for the first time since last July. It was evident that the board was moving to head off any pos- sible tightening of credit which might nip the business revival in the bud. A reserve board spokesman said banks could lend up to six times the amount of the reserves re- leased. The board’s announcement estimated that about 1% billion dollars in reserves now frozen would be thawed. To what extent credit would actually be increased would depend upon the action of member banks. how to judge a fether by The plans made by a father over-shadow the uncertainties of the future for those he loves.
