.CITESSITUATI ION
Or GENERAL
MOTORS
Ry B. Q. FORBEs

DETROIT, Dec. 1s.-All the
talk about impending changes IN
the chairmanship and the pres
idency of General Mofors has
aroused nationwide interest.
am now in a position to give the
Pierre DUPONT six months
leave Of absence from the chair
manship does not expire until
February. Dupont has not an
nounced yet nor indicated
whether he intends to resume
duty as chief executive of the
worlds largest motor enterprise.
Even those close to him do not
vet know what his decision viii
be.
Everybody identified with the
corporation Is hoping earnestly
that he will return, because there
Is no officer in the whole organ
ization better liked. DUPONT has
the happy faculty Of being able
TO get along harmCniously with
others. He is conspicuous for
two things: His broad.gauge ex.
ecutive ability and his gentle
manliness.
No Change in Lineup
Should Du Pont resume the chair
manship, no change whatsoever
will be made IN the lineup. Alfred
P. sloan will continue as president.
for which osition 1t is recognized
by every Ian in the organization
he is ideally fitted. Having en-.
loved mechanical and engineering
training, he knows every nut ana
bolt in every car turned out By
G eraI Motors.
Not only so, but he early had to
get out and hustle for orders TO
keep going first plant he en-
tered, one in which his father was
heavily interested. Sloan. there
4 is master of both the produc-
ton and the selling end Of the
st business.
Equally important, he loves the
work. He gives his whole life
to it.
Sloan May Decide
Should Du Pont disappoint his
colleagues by deciding to ease his
many responsibilities by withdraw
ing from the chairmanship, and
SnOulQ HE nut Wdlh 70 AeNNCs SA,Sp
one OF his brothers take his place,
it will rest with the executive COM
mittee as a whole, but more es-
pecialIy with Sloan, to decide
whether to leave the office Of
chairman vacant or to fill it. The
probabilities are that no chairman
would be named. at least for tine
present
Should Sloan move up to the
chairmanship. which is the chief
executive position ia the corpora
ton, another president would. Of
course, be named to succeed him I'm
the presidency sess ~ W.
In that event every effort would
be made I'd induce Fred j. Fisher
to shoulder the presidential bur.
dens, although. It II well under
stood that Fisher would much pre-
fer to have things 60 on exactly
as they were going before Du Pont
was reluctantly granted q tenn
porary leave OF absence.
