Studebaker Plans New, Smaller Car President Outlines Refinancing Deals SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) The Studebaker Packard Corp. announced today a refinancing program under which it will make a "new, redesigned smaller car' break its ties with the Curtiss-Wright Corp.
and expand its interests with "diversification into other profitable fields." President Harold E. Churchill said the firm will stay in the automobile business and produce a smaller car at its South Bend plant. Churchill said the company found a way to remove the pressure of a $54,700,000 debt through a group of insurance companies and banks and the issuance of long-term notes and controvertible preferred stock. To Sever Relations Studebaker-P a a also will sever its relations with Curtiss-Wright, which for the last two years held an advisory management contract, Churchill said, and set up a wholly-owned subsidiary for the further development of sales and service of the Mercedes Benz foreign-made car. Studebaker-Packard is the exclusive distributor for the line in this country.
The diversification program, by which Studebaker-Packard hopes to merge "several profitable companies in other fields," will be directed by Abraham Malcolm Son-nebend, an industrialist, hotel man and real estate operator. Studebaker-Packard said in an announcement of its plans that the attraction for the mergers would be the firm's losses of nearly 135 million dollars, which can be carried forward against federal income taxes in the next five years. Directors To Meet Directors will meet in New York this week to approve the plan, and stockholders will consider it in South Bend later. Studebaker-Packard will sell to Curtiss-Wright for two million dollars certain properties now under long-term lease, in addition to 25 million dollars received previously under a lease agreement.

The old high school gym, referred to by many Lancer cage fans as the "pit," was stuffed when 700 fans squeezed into its stands. The now deserted "pit" will not be, used for any varsity sports, but will now serve as a physical education gym and grade school games site. The new gymnasium sports a 48 locker varsity dressing room, a special laundry room, and two 240 locker dressing rooms, one for boys and the other for girls' high school physical education classes. Ready For Use The gymnasium will definitely be ready for use by the start of this basketball season, according to the Taylor Bros, contractors of Columbus.
The gym floor is now being coated with the final layer of sealer. The Edinburg high school football team has been using the varsity dressing room this week. Players and fans alike are very pleased with the new court and Lancer cagers are "itching" to try out the nearly half million dollar structure. Edinburg basketball coaches Don Holloway (varsity) and Don Ke-hoe (reserve) both feel that the new gym will create even more enthusiasm among both fans and participants in the basketball sport.

You remember Poundy the racehorse who belonged to the sports department of the New York World-Telegram and Sun and gained his name through a contest conducted by that newspaper.
Ol' Pounditout would have been one of the greatest horses in turf history except for one little failing. He couldn't run. Not even a little bit. His back was swayed, his nerves were frazzled, his feet were leaden, and eventually his inkstained owners were disgusted. The best he ever did was to finish fourth, and that in only one race.
So they gave him to restaurant owner Gene Leone of New York, a man who owned a and Pounditout was put out to pasture. "People told me I was crazy to breed him," gray-haired Leone recalled today. "One fellow said I'd probably get a camel. Sires Handsome Colt But instead 01' Poundy sired a handsome young colt named. Pounditout and here was.
the surprising thing young Poundy could run! In fact, he astonished everyone by winning four races as a two-year-old. But then he came up lame. "He's a big horse, 17 hands, and that gave me the idea that maybe I could make a jumper out of him because the soft turf would help his feet," explained Leone. "But two of his first three starts he got left at the post and couldn't catch up." Ah, but Tuesday Pounditout Jr. redeemed the family name by winning a mile-and-three-quarters hurdles race at Saratoga in 3:2 25, only about two seconds off the course record.
He paid $9.70 to win. Pounditout Sr. passed away last year at the age of 13. He sure would have been proud of the kid. BUILDING BLEACHERS AT EDINBURG FIELD EDINBURG.

Game time is 7 p.m. JEM Headquarters JOHNSON COUNTY Spending Likely To Be Top G.O.P.
Issue This Fall WASHINGTON (UPI) President Eisenhower's recent veto messages offer Republicans some clues this fall on how to attack the record of the Democratic-controlled Congress. While the President spoke more softly, the GOP campaign orators will be able to quote him in denouncing the "reckless spending" programs in the New Deal tradition. GOP candidates also are being urged to quote some economy bloc Democrats on the spending issue. When he vefced an appropriation bill for the first time, Aug. 4, Eisenhower said there was "no sound justification whatever in adding unnecessarily over half a billion dollars to a deficit which may reach 12 billion dollars this fiscal year." Campaign Issue: Spending And in his veto of an atomic icebreaker construction bill last week, re wrote: "A continued disregard of our budgetary problems through the institution of unneeded new programs and projects can only add to inflationary pressures to the detriment of all the people." The mere threat of a veto stalled some spending programs in Congress this year and resulted in shaving sums off others.
To the extent that the 1958 election campaign is pitched to the record of Congress, the spending issue looks like a probable choice for the GOP. Despite a continuing disagreement between most Democrats and the administration over farm policy, the Democratic-led Congress is not very vulnerable on the issue of support for the President. A partisan line could not be drawn easily on Pentagon reorganization, reciprocal trade and foreign aid the three items which Eisenhower regarded as all-important parts of his program. Democratic congressional leaders also supported the President in resisting any election year tax reduction.
