president Of General Motors. but they
have required with such persistence
and frequency that many were in
clined TO credit them despite the de-

that a staff OF sixty expert account
ants had gone TO Detroit, where they
were to go over all of the books and

was the assertion Of 4. T.. Bach, chief

Of the foreign horn and his needs.
