Studebaker went into receivership in March 1933, emerged in March 1935-in itself a remarkable accomplishment since U. S. motorists usually give a receivership car a bad name, proceed to hang it. Studebaker's $4,876,000 loss in 1933 was cut to $1,462,000 in 1934. From March 9, 1935 (end of receivership) to June 30, losses were held...

It has been in receivership for twelve years, owes accumulated interest equal to one-fourth of its assets, which are largely nominal, and is still indebted to the Government for loans from the Wartime Director General of Railroads. In desperation RF Chairman Jesse Jones proposed to partition M. & St. L. among eight more solvent neighbors (TIME, Oct. 29). Last week after a year of dickering, the eight systems petitioned the Interstate Commerce for permission to start carving...
