NEW GENERAL MOTORS CHAIRMAN
 WELL FITTED FOR GIGANTIC TASK

WILMINGTON, Del, March 1S.- Lammont Du Pont, who succeeds his brother, Pierre, as chairman o1 the board of directors of General Motors Corp, is man of technical training and a scientific outlook He is 48 years old, 10 years Pierre's junior
 Graduating from the Massachu- setts Institute of Technology at the age of 21, he went to work as an iron works draftsman, but after few months was drawn into the Du Pont family enterprises, E, I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co, where he spent 20 years in the develop ment of it's varied products.
 Heading a $2,000,O00,000 corpora tion will be no novelty to him, for in recent years he has assumed a major portion of the executive and financial work of the vast Du Pont
 interests. In 1926 he became presi- dent of the Du Pont company which, based on market value, is itself nearing the $2,OOO, 100000 class.
 MT. Du Pont is already familiar with the affairs of General Mo- tors, having sat in it's innermost councils as a member of the fi- nance committee along with his brother Pierre, other members of the Du Pont family, John J. Ras- kob, Fred J. Fisher, Junius s. Mor- gan, Jr., and George F. Baker, Jr.
 The Du Pont company acquired a substantial interest in General Motors in 1918 and considerably in creased it's holdings two years lat 9r through purchase of the hold ings of w. c. Durant. The com pany now controls about B per cent of General Motors common stock and it's indisputably the larg- est single stockholder.
 The passing on of the General Motors chairmanship to another member of the Du Pont family, therefore, caused no surprise in fi- nancial circles. Pierre Du Pont resigned the chairmanship last Au- gust, stating that he feared that his activities with the Association Against the Prohibition Amend ment, might give the impression that the corporation was involved in the movement. His resignation was not accepted, however, until the February meeting He re- mains a director and a member of the finance committee.
 Leaving Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree Of Civil Engineering Lammont Du Pont obtained a position as drafts man with the Pencoyd Iron works, subsidiary of the United States Steel corporation. He was first employed by the Du Pont com pany in it's black powder manufac- turing operations, eventually be- coming director in charge of that

FIND WRECKACE ON MIDDLETON
 ISLAND, REPORT
Wreckage May Be of Miss ing Halibuters Imper-
 ial or Brunvol

With a first hand information of considerable wreckage which was washed up on Middleton Island be- tween November Is and 20 last year, thought to be from the hali- buters Brunvol or the Imperial, both of which were last sighted 35 miles southwest of Middleton Is- land on November 14, Joe Ibach and Mrs. Ibach arrived in Juneau on the Virginia w
 MT. Ibach, who has a blue fox farm on Middleton Island, said that between November Is and 20 considerable wreckage was washed up on the shore of the Island in such condition as to suggest that a boat or boats had been wrecked close by. Those on Middleton Is land were utterly isolated from last September until a short time ago when the halibut boat Atlantic passed close enough to flag. Mir Ibach told Capt. John Gerde of the Atlantic about the wreckage and learned for the first time of the supposed fate of the Brunvol and Imperial.
 Wreckage Saved
 MT. Ibach and his helpers pulled sufficient of the wreckage up on the beach for one, familiar with the boats lost, to identify it. A list of the wreckage was given to Capt Gerde who said he would re- port it to the U. s. Customs office at Ketchikan. It consisted of, part of a pilot house, 32 feet of the guard, hatch covers, halibut boat dory, booms, tables and other such articles, MT Ibach said.
 MT. and Mrs Ibach and R. E. Baily, who is with MT. Ibach on Middleton Island, were brought in to Lemesurier Island on the At lantic and came to Juneau for sev- eral days, after being isolated on Middleton Island since last Sep tember.
 Long Search Last Fall
 Both the Brunvol and the I'm perial, halibuters, were searched for by the Coast Guard cutter Unalga. and a score of other boats for over two months last fall, when they failed to return at the end of the halibut season on November 15. The search was carried on from Kodiak Island south, but no trace was found of the unfortunate boats or the 13 men they carried. They had last been sighted on Novem- Der IA about 35 miles southwest of Middleton Island and the. Island was held as probable place to find the wreckage, but approach was impossible because of the storms in the Gulf of Alaska.
