S-P Moves Out of Red At Year End Studebaker Packard Corp. emerged from the red in the last two months of 1956 and entered an operating profit of $895,000 on its books, according to Harold E. Churchill, president. The profit, coupled with favorable year-end adjustments, reduced the company's losses for 1956, to $43,300,000 1 before special charges, Churchill reported. He viewed the results with optimism, inasmuch as S-P had reported a loss for the first nine months of $49,600,000 before special charges.

It was explained that the company opened a new set of books in November and December as result of action taken at a stockholders' meeting Oct. 31-Nov. 2, at which an amendment to the company's charter- was approved, reducing the par value of stock from $10 to $1 a share. Special Charges Explained. The year-end adjustments- that enabled the corporation to improve its position resulted from a refiguring of inventory and excess operating reserves which had been set up by S-P the first of the year.

The adjustments customarily are made by all corporlations. The special charges involve two funds of 28 million and 32 million dollars set up last June 30 to provide reserves for construction costs, inventory obsolescence and possible loss on the disposal of surplus properties when Studebaker-Packard operations were consolidated in South Bend. The move followed the signing of an advisory management contract with Wright Corp. Meetings With Dealers. Packard production was brought here from Detroit and Utica, along with Studebaker operations from Los Angeles.

Commenting on the improved year-end performance, Churchill said, "We have just completed the first phase of a continuing series of meetings with our dealers throughout the United States as a part of an extensive program to broaden and extend our line of cars and trucks to meet the requirements of our dealers and the American public. "Funds have been made available, and we plan to absorb the cost of this program in the period in which the money is spent. While I realize the risks involved in making long-range business predictions, we have targeted profit. for the year. of.

1957. Prospects Greatly Enhanced. forward plans should greatly enhance the prospects of Studebaker-Packard for the secFond half of '1957" and for 1958. Churchill noted that the 1957 sedans, station wagons and Hawk sports models, introduced in November, featured several engineering developments, including Twin Traction non-slip differential, built-in supercharger, variable rate springing and advanced styling, all of which are- gaining wider recognition and acceptance for the Studebaker line. He observed that similarly the 1957 Packard Clippers, recently introduced to dealers in major markets, are experiencing a good public reaction.

Production Down, Churchill did not disclose sales figures for the year. Sales for the first nine months totaled 400,000, down 37 per cent from those in the corresponding period of 1955. The company's for the production full passenger cars year showed a decrease of 45 per cent from the 1955 pace. Churchill's statement made no mention of the mamagement agreement concluded last August between S-P and Curtiss-Wright. Under the terms of the agreement, S-P leased some of its facilities to Curtiss-Wright, includling the Chippewa Avenue plant here, turned over its defense.

contracts to a new C-W subsidiary, Utica-Bend and gave up its Detroit auto-manufacturing operations. Utica-Bend has set up operations in the Chippewa plant and currently is reported to be employing some 2,000 persons there. Besides furnishing management advice, C-W has a right to invest in S-P by exercising an option on five million shares of S-P. stock.s Officials Doubt Military Will Go Into Strip. CAIRO, Egypt (-An Egyptian official said today he understood Egypt plans to send only administrative units into the controversial Gaza Strip.
