...continually critical as old Alfieri himself, Maserati's present owner, Adolfo Orsi, refuses to be satisfied, even with success. He got off to a fast start with one of last season's six-cylinder Grand Prix racers, which World Champion Juan Fangio drove to victory in the Argentine Grand Prix at Buenos Aires last month, setting a track record in the bargain.

Orsi refused, however, to rehire 30 workers whom he called Communist troublemakers. Galavotti turned down the offer. Orsi stood pat, refused to postpone...
