Bantam Car Co seeks reorganization plan by Dec 17
Federal Judge Wallace Gourley set a December 17 deadline for trustees of American Bantam Cargo to file reorganization plans after a bankruptcy petition. He warned stockholders the company could be liquidated if creditors are not paid. Washington Aircraft Corp. of New York shows interest in a restructuring, with MUlott Finkel for Bantam saying the talks could move quickly as the judge aims to conclude proceedings. Meanwhile a severe snowstorm in Jamestown, New York, left 500 vehicles stuck and caused a fatality from gas fumes as a 17 year old youth died and three others were hospitalized.
