Milford. Mich, Sept. oS.-(UP)- The much discussed pending war fare" between Henry Ford and the General Motors Corporation was minimizcd today in an address de- livered by Alfred r. Sloan, Jr., president Of General Motors.
 Speaking to a group of automobile editors at the corporations proving grounds here, Sloan said "'rhe prob lem does not look so complicated as you newspaper people are trying to make it out to be-"
 The Ford and General Motors products will be sold at different price and hence will have different appeals, he said.
 'If the past is any indication of the future, the new Ford car will be a car that will appeal to a great mass of people," he said.
 Naturally that car must meet present conditions, but the basic idea is likely to be the same. Gen. eral Motors Is in quite a different position. General Motors idea is to make car of greater luxury than the Ford-a car that properly be- longs to the next higher price class. With every price car there Is dcfi- nite market. This applies to the

GENERAL MOTORS HEAD SAYS FORD CAR
 IS NOT REGARDED AS A COMPETITOR

Cadillac as well as 1t does the Ford"
 Sloan summed up in the following para graph:
 There is plenty of opportunity in the world today for Mir. Ford to give the public honest value, which of course he will do, with the result that he will sell an enormous num- Der of cars per year. and there is an equal opportunity for General Motors to give the public honest value at a higher price and like wise sell a very large number of cars per year"
 Sloan paid tribute 10 Ford for his thesis of the lowest possible price,"
 ''I do not think many Of us ap- preciate the tremendous debt that We owe MT. Ford not only for his conception of the idea but his stick ing to it, he said.
 Sloan also owes Ford a personal debt, he revealed. In the early days of the automotive industry Sloan in- terested Ford in roller bearing that he (Sloan) was representing.
 "Mr. Ford became our best cus- toner" Sloan went on. My start in life was greatly helped by the sup port MT. Ford gave our little busi- ness at that time."

 Charles T. Earl. deputy coroner, and pr. A. l.. Sherwood. Mr. Ford's examined the body short ly after it was found. They said there were no marks Of violence and that it could not be doubted that Mir Ford died of heart disease. MT. Sher- wood said he had been treating Mr Ford for a heart ailment for some time.
 At Mir. Earl's direction. the body was taken to an undertaking estab- ishment in Dearborn.
 Mir. Ford's business career was confined chiefly to real estate in Fordson. He was interested in the political affairs of Fordson, but was not financially interested in the 1 automobile business of his brother, Henry.

Prosecutor Not in Hurry to Have ReaCh'S Bail Forfeited in
 Doctor Murder Probe
MANY FLOWERS SENT
 TO ACCUSED WIDOW
Farmer Said to Have Left Hjs Home Early Yesterday in Blue Coupe-Mrs. Lillicndahl Still Maintains Her Husband Was Shot: Detectives Say She Accompanied Missing Man to Resort Once,

llammonton, N. J., Sept. .s GP- There will be no deal with counse, for the surrender of Willis Beach, charged with aiding and abettinz in the killing Of Dr. A. William Lil- liendahl, said s. Cameron Hinkle. assistant prosecutor Of Atlantic county. today.
 Beach disappeared from his home yesterday when state police sought him to be faced by three men who saw q blue coupe, such as Beach owns, dash from the scene of the murder, the day that Dr. Llliendahl was found dead.
 The missing man had been under s5, bail as a material witness in the case. and when his counsel Edi- son Hedges, Of Atlantic City, failed 10 produce him yesterday afternoon, a warrant was issued charging Beach with aiding and abettlng in the staying.
 Hedges has been quoted as say ing that he would produce Beach when wanted by the court, but would not ask him 10 come forth to be again questioned by the police unless he could be represented by counsel. Hedges said that Beach was out of the state, but that he did not go out on his advice.
 Mr. Hinkle also said that the o,.'g off ! any hurry to move to have Beach's bail as a material witness forfeited, preferring to await developments. He added that If Beach surrenders he would oppose his release on bail cn the conspiracy charge.
 Beach left his home before a. m., yesterday his blue coupe in which he left was discovered in his mothers garage al Mays Landing but no trace Of Beach has been found Some of the investigators be- lieve that he may have gone to Will mington, Del, which is one of the nearest points out of the state.
 Widow At Her Home
 In the meantime Mrs. Lillieudahl. who is under Sa5, 900 bail as ma terial witness remains quietly at her home in South Nineland. near the residence of Beach who is poultry raiser. There are many flowers in the Lilliendahl home-eXpressions of sympathy for the widow. Six times she submitted to long periods of close questioning by the police be fore she was released as a material witness four days after the murder on September 15. She still main tains that her husband was shot three times by two negroes who jumped on the running board of their on the lonely Atsion road near here and robbed them.
 Many friends so in and out of the home, but an air of de sertion envelops the Beach home, not far away, where sits white-haired woman while the police search for her husband.
 Since the murder Mrs. Beach has been visiting & daughter at Eliza hethtown. Pa, and returned home only yesterday.
 Before the murder the 14illiendahls and Beaches were friendly neighbors. II has been definitely established that Beach had had some correspon- dence with Mrs. Lillendahl and had met her at trysting place in South Nineland.
