The Argentine first lady publicly

with her in improving the lot OF

the Peron pattern of betterment; in
other words, emulation of her own

Headaches of an Auto Maker

ality who spends a lot of time con-
ferring with lawyers.
His legal bouts arise from the
fact he is founder. president and
all-around boss Of Tucker Corp, a
postwar company started with the
aim Of producing a revolutionary
automobile. The corporation Is in
trouble and so Is Tucker.
The story begins with the idea Of
manufacturing a car so new. so
different, that 1t would make all
others look like something left over
from the days when old Dobbin
pulled the one-horse shay.
The basic idea-not new-was to
take the engine from the front of
the automobile and put it in the
rear. Subsidiary ideas included:
lAir-cooled disc brakes and in
dividual wheel suspension.
Hydraulic torque converters which
would eliminate the clutch. trans
mission, drive shaft and differen-
tial.
An Energetic Visionary
Built-in air conditioning and all
around steel bumpers.
An armorlike safety chamber" to
give front-seat passengers place
to duck when confronted with an
on-coming truck
Glass that would disintegrate up
on impact without cutting edges
or slivers and safety glass wind
shield which could be pushed out
but not in.
A sponge rubber crash pad"
cowl.
Headlights and front wheel fend-
ers which would turn with the cars
direction.
Doors that would slide up into
the roof.
Elimination of the fly wheel, ring
gear, and, in all, some 800 parts of
the conventional automobile.
This automobile was the BRAIN
child Of Preston Tucker, A years
old, enthusiastic, visionary, ener-
getic.
Mr.. Tucker had been around the
automobile industry since going to
work for Cadillac as a l3-year-old
Office boy.
Late in 1945 and early 1946 Mr..
Tucker started to talk publicly of a
radically new automobile. He re-
ceived much publicity in newspapers
and magazines.
Mr.. Tucker needed q great many
things to produce his automobile.
The two MOST important were: Cd
A plant; (2) some money.
After much argument, during
which Mr.. Tucker picked up a law
suit or two, the War Assets Ad-
ministration gave him a lease on
the Dodge Chicago plant southwest
Of Chicago, 16 buildings over ATS
acres used during the war to build
airplane engines. Part of the terms
were that Mr.. Tucker had to have
assets of $15yO00,000 by March /,
1947, a deadline later extended.
Stock Sale Permitted
BY October, 1916, Mr.. Tucker had
completed arrangements to get some
money. The deal was worked out
with Floyd D. Cert Co., Inc, q Chi
cago investment house.
Mr.. Tucker was to issue two
classes of stock. There were 4,000,-
600 shares of class "A" for sale
to the public at S. share. Mr..
Tucker got voting trust control of
100000 class "B" shares and 100,-
600 "B" shares went to Cert.

Propaganda Is Subtle
1t has been openly charged in the
Uruguayan press that Peronistas
contribute money to the reactionary
Herrerista Party and other extreme
nationalistic political movements in
the little republic to the north of
Argentina. In the last two Uru-
guayan elections the chief plank of
the Herrerista platform called for
closer political and economic ties
with Argentina, and many of the
