Well-Paid Team. Ford's growth has been the work of a high-octane management team headed by Henry Ford II and Ernest R. Breech, who was made the company's first board chairman this year. The team has been handsomely paid for its job. The eleven top officers of the company collected $2,414,500 in direct compensation this year (including some held over from 1954); Breech and Ford each received...

Some 400 investment houses, which will participate in selling the stock to the public, are already being flooded with orders to buy, no matter what the price. Board Chairman Ernest R.

Ernest R. Breech, 57, was made board chairman of the Ford Motor Co., the first chairman in Ford's 52-year history. Though President Henry Ford II will still be top man, the new job was created for Breech as a reward for the way he has built up the company and to take some of the heavy work load off his shoulders. When Breech first went to Ford in 1946, after a 13-year stint at G.M. and four more as president of Bendix Aviation Corp., Ford was losing $9,000,000 a month. Largely as a result...
