FOR DURANT
By DAVID J- WILKIE
FLINT, Mich., Dec. 8 (World
Wide) He once dreamed of
controlling the entire automo
bile Industry . . . everything he
touched seemed to turn to gold
and he sought to buy up all
car manufacturing companies
. . . He created the great Gen
eral Motors organization, but
he nought also to c6ntrol the
New York stock market . . .
Fortunes that came to him In
multiple millions were wiped
out repeatedly only to be re
clamed as If by magic. . . And
to bh lost again. . .
William C. Durant is 80 years
old today and he owns a bowl
ing alley here; a recent addi
tion to It Is restaurant with
a huge sign on the wall read
ing "Hamburger Heaven." Not
Infrequently Durant, one-time
super-sali'sman, organizational
genius and most talked about
figure In the stock market a
quarter century ago, may be
seen moving tables and chairs
about in the lunch room.
He has had visions of ex
panding his bowling alley busi
ness Into a chain of recrea
tional enterprises, but he says,
building costs and real estate
values have mounted and de
layed his plans somewhat.
Meanwhile he Is liquidating
a realty holding company and
has been writing a book his
own 5tory of General Motors,
control of which he twice held
and lost.
If the description of the one
time financial wizard and "bull
of bulls" in Wall street now
operating a bowling alley and
restaurant gives, the Impres
sion of an impoverished, dis
sillusloned and embittered old
man. it Is wholly wrong.
At 80 Durant is at debonair,
as enthusiastic and as engaging
in conversation as he was when
six months' operations in the
stock market netted him $20,
000,000. Slightly below aver
age In height, with sparse white
hair, dark eyes and deeply
wrinkled brow, he dresses neat
ly, carries himself erect and
walks with quick step. Only
the deeply lined face reveals
- that he has reached four-score
: ln '
i I haven t a dollar, Durant
rays, "but I'm happy and I'm
I
. ean't stop."
Hc i,as n0 doslr, to get back
Into the stock .market, he says,
"Many people , value money
too highly," Durant explains:
"after all money Is only loaned
Mo e man: he comes Into the
world with nothing and he goes
out with nothing."
Hit objective now, he says,
is "to do at much good at pos
sible for at many people at pot-

General White's
Book Proves True
In War so Far
SALEM, Dec. 8 Major
General George A. White, com
manding officer of the 41st di
vision, died at Portland only 14
days before his prediction of at
tack on America came true.
In the general's last book,
"Attack on America," publish
ed three years ago, t.e wrote of
a Japanese attack on the Pearl
harbor naval base at Honolulu.
So far. the war ln the Pacific
hat followed tho general'! pit
tern in his story.
But his friends hope that Is
where the similarity ends.
In "Attack on America," the
Pearl harbor base wat evacu
ated by the U. S. navy, the Jap
anese invaded the west coast,
and tho United Statet army re
tired to the Rocky mountains.

Mir HELP DEFENSE
FLINT, Mich., Dec. 8 The
many ways in which the average
motorist can render important
defense service through con
servation of his car and the fuel
with which it operates were
emphasized today by C. W.
Jacobs, parts and service man
ager of the Buick motor division,
in a discussion circularized to
more than a million Buick own
ers throughout the country.
"With curtailment of consum
er production in all lines and
the need to conserve for na
tional defense almost every con
ceivable type of material from
metalt to matches, it becomes
very important and necessary j
that we conserve the cars we j
own, the fuels and lubricants;
that run them, and the tires on ,
which thev run." Jacobs Raid.
Pointing out fliat the need for
saving gasoline it regarded as
a major defense issue, the ex
ecutive observed that by main
taining normal rather than high
tpeeds, fuel economiet as high
as 80 per cent can be effected.
At the same time, tires wear
out two- and one-half timet as
fast at 60 miles per hour as they I
do at 40 and tire life It five
times as great at 40 miles an
hour as at 80.
He said that a Buick engine
ln good condition has an average
lubricating oil consumption of
one quart in 300 miles. But oil.
like gasoline, is consumed in
proportion to speed. Moderate
driving conserves oil as well as
fuel, and minimizes the wear on
all parts of the automobile, he
said.
In the care of tires, Jacobs
recommended that all tires, In
cluding the spare, be Inflated to
the correct pressures and check
ed at least once a week to see
that these pressures are main
tained. It is preferable to check
pressures when the tires are cold,
before they have been run more
than a mile or to.
Scraping tires against the curb
often damages the aidewalls and
may cause blowout later.

Playboy Loses
Tooth, Fifth Wife
NEW YORK, Dec. 8 (UP)
Playboy Tommy Manvllla lost a
tooth and bride No. 8 Friday.
He didn't feel to hot about the
tooth, but he talked brightly
about the end of his marriage to
blonde showgirl Bonnie Ed
wards, 17, with whom he eloped
to Connecticut Just 17 dayt ago.
It was his shortest marriage
to date. On the baslt of reported
$200,000 settlements, not Includ
ing alimony, to his other wives,
lt probably cost a minimum of
$12,000 a day.
There was "no fight, no fuss,"
Manvllle tald, denying a report
that his bride had walked out
on him in a huff Wednesday
night while at the La Martinique
night club.
Miss Edwards, who took up
temporary residence in the
apartment of Joyce Mathewt, a
show girl colleague who married
Comedian Milton Berle ln Hol
lywood yesterday, declined to be
Interviewed. But one of the
many New York press agents
who Jumped to the front to aid
Manville in the divorce said she
had refused alimony.
Manville said he wasn't sure
why Miss Edwardt wat leaving
him.
"I think people bothered her,"
he said. "I'm used to being an
noyed, but she isn't. Usually I'm
damned glad to get rid of them,
but I was on the level with this
kid."
She began to lose weight and
became "very nervous," he said,
adding that since "neither of us
drink, it wasn't that."
