MOTORS-STEEL TIE
FOUND IN DU POINTS
Delaware Capitalists Hold
Big Interests in Three
Giants of Industry.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. July 27.-A direct
community of interest between the
United States Steel Corporation and
General Motors Corporation, Amer
ica's two largest industrial units.
was visioned today by New York
newspaper commentators.
The L. I. du Pont de Nemours in
terests, already dominant in General
Motors, are reported in Wall Street
circles to have been quietly buying
heavily of United States Steel COM
mon, their holdings acquired in the
past few weeks alone being placed
by Stock Exchange brokers at APP
proXimately $4,000 shares.
Semi-annual statements issued
yesterday by both the General Motors
and the U. S. Steel show the former
concern continues to hold it's posi-
ton of undisputed leadership among
industrial and railroad corporations
of the world.
General Motors Earnings.
General Motors reported net earn
ings of $129.250.207 for the first half
of 1927. United States Steel, its
nearest competitor, reported total

period.
Having become large holders of
United States Steel common, the
du Points as their next move, it is
understood by financial commenta-
tors, will seek representation on the
steel corporations board of directors.
That this will be accomplished with
the acquiescence of the steel corpora
TONS Morgan and First National Bank
affiliations, Wall Street believes, goes
without saying. as the latter are close
ly identified with the fortunes of Gen
eral Motors, both on it's directorate
and finance committee.
With du Pont interests dominating
General Motors and quietly buying
United States Steel common, time will
be short, Wall Street commentators
say, when there will be some kind of
utilization between the three corpora
tons. although a direct merger is
highly improbable.
Pierre 8. du Point Mentioned.
Pierre S. du Pont, chairman of the
General Motors board, is mentioned as
the most probable representative on
the steel corporations directorate
from the du Pont interests.
If Mr.. du Pont is seated as a d.
rector of the United States Steel,
rumors are that he will be elected
chairman of the steel corporation
board on the retirement of Ebert II.
Gary.
Other Wall Street rumors have AL
fred p. Sloan, jr., president of Cen
eral Motors, leaving his present berth
to take a post with the steel corpora
ton, to put himself in training to sue
coed Mr.. Gary.
In the event that Mr.. Sloan leaves
General Motors. some financial writers
suggest that Walter p. Chrysler will
become the executive head of the
General Motors organization.
