By FRED W. PERKINS 4 Scripps-Heward Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 5. — This month, which came in like a lamb so far as national industrial disturbancés are concerned, could go out like a lion if a few of the potential strikes become realities.

Studebaker Car Output Down

{ SOUTH BEND, Ind, March $ | (U.

Vance, chairman of Studebaker - Corp.'s board of directors, said 14,958 vehicles were produced last month.
