Go on Display
New 19SO Studebaker passen
ger car models will be displayed
in the showrooms of Bonesteele
Sales & Service, Inc., 370 North
Church, Friday, August 26.
"These are the automobiles
which generated so much en
thusiasm i when they .were pre
viewed privately in New York
and Chicago recently," accord
ing to Russ Bonesteele. "These
new cars are so entirely differ
ent in appearance that it is dif
ficult to do them justice by try
ing to describe them," he said.
"I am particularly anxious for
the people of this area to visit
our sales rooms and see for
themselves."
The front end of the 1950
Studebaker is especially strik
ing, Mr. Bonesteele pointed out.
It embodies an airplane fuselage-type
hood, flanked by air
foil front fenders and set off by
a chrome "spinner." In addi
tion to providing an ornamental
touch, the "spinner" augments
four frontal openings which di
rect air to the engine for maxi
mum cooling. The largest of
these air passages consist of two
oval - shaped honeycomb grille
scoops located below the two
smaller air channels which flank
the "spinner." Chrome mold
ings over these small twin chan
nels contribute to the unusual
decorative effect.
Mr. Bonesteele believes that
the complete change in frontal
appearance and fender treat
ment will be of special interest
to automobile enthusiasts. "It
makes the cars look as if they
are in motion even when they're
standing still," he said.
"Riding and handling quali
ties are greatly improved, too.
These are the result of a number
of engineering refinements but
are due principally to a modi
fication of Studebaker's balanc
ed chassis to include a new self
stabilizing coil spring front sus
pension. This involves a new
mounting of the front wheels so
that they strike road bumps at
a retracting angle instead of
head-on. i In other words, 'they
roll with the punch.' They don't
take the full force of the blow.
"Another important change is
an increase in the standard com
pression of both Studebaker en
gines the Champion and the
Commander from 6.5 to 1, to
7.0 to 1. This steps up the pow
er and helps gasoline economy
without making it necessary to
use premium gasolines. Cham
pion brake horsepower is now
85; and the Commander is 102."
The new exterior beauty of the 1950 Studebaker passenger
cars is shown in this view of the Champion convertible.
Richly appointed interiors keep pace with an advanced design
which gives the cars sweeping new lines. Studebaker-designed
coil spring front suspension provides peak riding and handling
ease.
- The popular and durable nylon
upholstery, first used by Stude
baker in Land Cruisers, has been
extended to all Regal Deluxe
models of the Commander series,
and can be had as an option on
the Champion and Commander
convertibles, M r . Bonesteele
said. Foam rubber cushions are
standard equipment in all models
with the exception of the lower-
priced Deluxe Champion.
Newly designed instrument
panels are located about four
inches farther forward than pre
viously, Mr. Bonesteele pointed
out, thus providing even greater
space in the front compartment.
Control switches are the push
pull type and gauges are group
ed directly in front of the driver
so that they can be checked at
a glance. The steering column
of the Commander and Land
Cruiser is enclosed in an over
size steel jacket.
The Commander tire size has
been increased to 7.60 x 15 in
ches. The Champion is equip
ped with 6.40 x 15 tires. All
Studebaker tires are the extra
low pressure type, with wide
base rims.

WHAT HAPPENED TO TREASURES?
Mystery Holds $10,000,000
Loot Carried by Mussolini
Milan, Italy (U.R) The fate of the fabulous treasure of Mus
solini, a $10,000,000 hoard of gold, foreign currencies and jewels,
may be made known later this year in a trial expected to be one
of the biggest in Italian history.
The treasure disappeared shortly after partisans executed the
dictator at Dongo In northern
Italy in April, 1945.
Milan, the cradle of fascism,
has been chosen as the scene for
the trial.
About 35 persons have been
indicted by Prosecutor Docto
Graj befure the Milan court. The
list includis several Communist
leaders.
The exact amount of gold,
jewels and hard cash with
which Mussolini was fleeing to
ward Switzerland when caught
has never been established. But
documents of the latter-day
puppet republic set up in north
Italy placed the value of the
treasure, as closely as could be
determined, at around $10,000,
000. .
The 35 persons named in the
state's indictment are accused of
being involved in the disappear
ance or elimination of danger
ous witnesses who knew the
truth about the disposal of the
treasure, which just disappear
ed. Others on the list are charg
ed with actually having taken
some of the loot.
The state's position is that the
money involved belonged to the
Italian state and was never the
personal property of Mussolini.
The prosecution says the Mus
solini treasure consisted of two
parts. The first was received by
Mussolini from Guigo Buffarini-
'..TUidi. a minister of the republic
of Salo. The second part came
from Finance Minister Giampie
ro Pelligrini.
The first part, the prosecution
says, after an investigation
which has lasted for four years,
consisted of 66 kilos of gold
mostly melted-down wedding
rings donated by Italian wives
and widows during the Ethio
pian campaign in February,
1936; 1,150 pounds sterling, 2,
030,000 Swiss francs, 1,000,000
Spanish francs and a large
amount of other pounds ster
ling, dollars and Portuguese es
cudos of unknown value.
The second portion of the
treasure allegedly consisted of
600 gold sterling. 2,000 pounds
sterling, 3,398,000 French
francs, 525,928 Swiss francs and
21,179 Italian gold marengos.
There is a second treasure
that cannot be accounted for,
the prosecution charges.
This is based on the fact that
various individuals in the Mus
solini column headine for Swit
zerland were found in posses-
Capilal Journal, Salem, Ore., Thursday, Aug. 25, 1949 13
sion of large quantities of
money, which could not be ac
counted for in the other two
main groups.
While the total of this second
hoard is unknown, an idea of its
value can be had from the loot
taken from the wife of the fas
cist minister, Ruggero Romano.
She was caught in possession
of 63,000 dollars, 17,000 Swiss
francs, 15,734,000 French
francs, 1,166,000 Italian lire and
1,350 gold coins.
What happened to the jewel
box known to have been carried
by Clara Petacci, the duce's
mistress, is lost in mystery. One
known fact is that two parti
sans, Carlo Ceresoli and Romeo
Tereni, were found to have two
rings with 16-carat diamonds,
believed to have belonged to Pe
tacci. That Mussolini's treasure dis
appeared among the members of
the partisan crowd which
caught him is indicated by other
facts established by the state,
These facts include the case
of Angelo Foglia, a poor peas
ant who was present at Mussoli
ni's arrest. A few months after
the duce was killed, Foglia
bought himself a farm, a movii
house and a mine.
According to Graj, Foglia got
hit money from the dictator's
treasure
