JOHN N. WILLYS, PIONEER MAKER
 OF AUTOS, DIES
Former Ambassador to Poland Under Hoover
 Had Heart Attack

New York, Aug. 26.-(UP)- John North Willys, pioneer auto- mobile manufacturer and former ambassador to Poland, died early to-day of heart disease.
 Death came painlessly. He was semi-conscious but partly par alyzed. His wife and his daughter, Mrs. Jose De Landa, were at his bedside.
 Friends announced funeral serv- ices had not been arranged, but said they would be private.
 Willys was 61 and had enjoyed excellent health until last May, when he was stricken with heart attack while attending the Ken lucky Derby.
 Typical Career
 His career was typical of a ris- ing American industrialism and his personality was typical of an era. He began business as bicycle salesman, purchased the Overland Automobile company during the panic of 1907 on a shoestring, and within a few years was million. aire.
 From then until the depression the Willys-Overland company was one of the most successful in the automobile industdy. In 1928 its capacity was doubled and in 1929 Willys sold his common stock for $25,000,000. President Hoover ap- pointed him ambassador to Po- land.
 Things Went Badly
 Afterward things went badly for Willys- overland. In 1927 it had shown a profit of 2.04 on a share of common. In 1929 1t showed deficit of $2.0S. In 1891 the deficit was 97 cents. All dividends were passed and in 1892 voting control was returned to Willys by the pur- chasers. He resigned his ambas- sadorship, returned to take the chairmanship and became receiver un Ter a friendly court action that stopped bondholders from llquidat- ins assets. At the beginning of this year he again became the com pany's president mad had permis-
