BY SYLVIA PORTER

A crucial stage Is now nearing
in the inevitable overhaul of
American Motors Corp. - the
quarter billion dollar giant
known the world over for its
Kelvinator appliances and Nash,
Hudson and Rambler automo-
biles.
Within the week, George Rom
Iney, president of American
Motors. and Louis Wolfson, the
Florida industrialist who is now
the major stakeholder in the all
ing concern, will meet again in
Detroit.
At this formal conference, the
second since the two men met
in Miami March 10 and 20, all
the cards will go on the table.
Both Mr.. Romney and Mr..
Wolfson will submit specific pro-
grams designed to pull the losing
company out of the red and into
the black before its next annual
meeting in February. 1858.
These are the facts:
American Motors has been los

lose money steadily, particularly
on its Nash and Hudson cars.
Mr.. Wolfson has built his hold
ings of AMC stock to 100000
shares. He now has a multimil-
lion dollar stake in the company
and is undeniably in a dominant
position.
Mr.. Wolfson's primary aim is
use of the valuable $38 million
tax credit (tax loss carry for
ward) which AMC has OBJ
tanned as result of its years
of deficits. In simplest terms,
his objective is to turn AMC
into a profitable operation as
soon as possible so the corpora
ton can use its tax credits
before they expire to offset and
thus retain earnings.
Mr.. Romney is well aware that
he faces some brutal headlines.
Neither the 81 banks to which
AMC owes millions of dollars
nor Mr.. Wolfson will give Mr.,
Romney many more months I'M
less he comes up with positive
plans to revive the corporation.
Probable Proposals
Although the Detroit confer

among the proposals to be dis

ID Sell the Rambler, get rid
OF the Nash and Hudson diyis-

buying other profitable enter

use the tax credits to protect
its profits. While it has been
denied that ANY consideration"
has been given by Chrysler to
purchase of the Rambler di-

been conversations.

CAMERA ANGLES

Careful Exposures

anisms as lenses, shutters and
Aim winds.
Beware Of sand that is
kicked up by frolicking kids
and adults. Naturally they
don't mean any harm. but q
few grains of sand in the wake
of an amateur 50-yard dasher
can easily find its way into

In the event that your

it yourself. Take it to a camera

DOWN ON THE FARM,
don't neglect the barnyard as
a wonderful source Of appeal
ing snaps. Try to be selective,
however, and eliminate dis
tracing details in order to
concentrate on the main sub
ject. Often you'll find a more
attractive picture in a single
subject, than in several. For
instance. try a closeup Of a
duck rather than a whole
flock, where each bird may be
looking in a different direction.
Wherever possible shoot from
the animals level. instead of
shooting down. This keeps the
subject looking important in
your pictures.
FOR MOVIE FILMS, it's
a good idea to number each
box-l, 2. 3. etc.-from the
time you leave home until the
time you return. In your log
book. keep track of where each
roll number was exposed. This
will be a big help when you
start to edit your films. 1t will
also help if you have some
one at home receive your films
as soon as they are proceSsed
and Immediately report the
results to you. Thus, instead
of his saying that the scenes
of the mountains were good.
from your log you will know
to what mountains he is re-
ferring.
