CHEVROLET CO. HEAD INSPECTS PLANT IN CITY

President M. E. Coyle Is Busy Man, Reporter Discovers. “Industry is a simple formula of buying commodity and labor, fabricating a product and selling above cost," said M. E. Coyle, pleasant, hard-working president of Chevrolet Motor Car Corporation, visiting here today. An energetic, soft-spoken executive who has a complete grasp of his company's activities by personal inspection. Mr. Coyle visited the offices of the Chevrolet Commercial Body Division, 1100 West Henry street. - “An executive can not expect to control or understand his business from an office in Detroit,’’ Mr. Coyle said. Asked to predict the future of the automotive industry, Mr.* Coyle smiled and said, “It is almost impossible to prophesy correctly the | future. Industry has new> standards and problems. However, I may say that our business for 1934 was above that of 1932 and 1933 and probably will top that of 1931.” Mr. Coyle carefully went into various phases of the industry supplying from an accurate memory details that would escape the ordinary person. His day is longer that that of the laborer, for Mr. Coyle worked late last night interviewing local Chevrolet officials and was up for breakfast at 7 today for inspection of the Henry street plant. Later today he will stop on his way to Detroit at a sales meeting at Lake Wawasee, where he will join W. E. Haller, vice-president and general manager, and E. W. Berger, Indianapolis zone manager.

BYRD, FEARING DEATH, WROTE GOOD-BYNOTES Admiral, Isolated in Snow Hut, Still Weak, Rescuers Say. By United Pres* LITTLE AMERICA. Antarctica. | Aug. 17.—(Via Mackay Radio.)— ! Fearing that he faced slow death j isolated in his hut 123 miles out on : the Ross Ice Barrier in the black- ! ness of the South Polar winter 1 night, Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd wrote letters to his family and friends, bidding them farewell, messages from his rescuers revealed today. Admiral Byrd conserved his strength as much as possible, after being poisoned by kerosene stove fumes, collected all the food he could carry from his cache at the end of a tunnel in the snow, and settled down to keep himself alive as long as possible. It took him hours a day to eat, the messages showed, as his strength would permit him to eat only a little at a time. He lived on powdered milk, hydrated with melted snow; and canned corn, tomatoes, turnip tops, cereal and lemon powder. The lemon powder was taken to prevent scurvy. Occasionally, Byrd ate some frozen seal meat or beef lying outside his hut. When the rescue party arrived last week, Byrd had written a number of farewell letters, and had written a note to a possible post mortem rescue party, which he left on his table. But despite his illness and weakness, Admiral Byrd took meteorological records, which will give new data on winter conditions on the barrier. Dr. Thomas C. Poulter, leader of the rescue party, wirelessed that it would be some time before Byrd re-

gained his strength. Byrd had reached the limit of his endurance. Dr. Poulter reported. Except when he was writing, taking meteorological recordings or eating, he remained in his bunk.
