...trademark has assured U.S. housewives that the famed old cleanser "hasn't scratched yet." But the Bon Ami chick, if not yet scratching, is not unscratched. Five years ago, the Manhattan-based Bon Ami Co. was looted of $3,000,000 by Swindler Alexander Guterma (TIME. Feb. 23, 1959). As Guterma was packed off to jail, a reform management team, headed by dapper airline and hotel operator R. (for nothing) Paul Weesner, 51, moved in to put Bon Ami back on its feet. Last week, in New York State Supreme Court, a mounting stack of complaints and affidavits charged...
Though no one was talking-least of all McCormick, who last week disappeared from all his old haunts-one of the things the investigators reportedly uncovered was McCormick's friendship with Alexander Guterma, former president of the Detroit auto parts firm of F. L. Jacobs & Co., who was sent to federal penitentiary two years ago for stock fraud.

...would-be buyer from Brooklyn was told he would have to wait because two other Brooklynites had orders in. (He offered to move to Connecticut if that would help.) Financier Alexander Guterma surprisingly got three, but betrayed Dual-Ghia owners everywhere by landing in jail. With status seekers from Beverly Hills to Mount Kisco still clamoring for Dual-Ghias, Dual-Motors last week announced that it will have a new Dual-Ghia hardtop for sale this fall, to be called the "Ghia 6-4-L." Unlike the old car, the new one will be assembled in Italy, exported...
...Lionel's proxy statement also disclosed that Cohn had financed the purchase of 14,587 shares of Lionel stock for Paul M. Hughes and his wife. A year ago Hughes was named -but not indicted-as a co-conspirator in a stock-fraud indictment against Super-swindler Alexander Guterma. To make Lionel's trains run on time, Cohn has employed Hughes as an administrative assistant. His salary...
