...Among G.M.'s 33 directors, five are also directors of Du Pont: Du Pont Chairman Walter S. Carpenter Jr., Du Pont Vice President Lammot du Pont Copeland, Du Pont Vice President Henry B. du Pont, Emile F. du Pont and Donaldson Brown...
...recent years Du Pont's role has been largely confined to helping set overall policy, chiefly financial. Only six of G.M.'s 33 directors are usually identifiable as being in the Du Pont faction-Donaldson Brown, Du Pont treasurer until he switched to G.M. in 1921, Lammot du Pont Copeland, Emile F. du Pont, Henry B. du Pont, Chairman Albert Bradley, Executive Vice President Frederic G. Donner. As in many another company, there have often been arguments between the financial men in Manhattan and the automakers in Detroit. But did Detroit knuckle under? Says one former General Motors...

Lately, however, alarmists in Delaware have cried that rising costs would put the state in the red by the end of fiscal 1956. Last week State Auditor Clifford Hall pacified his fearful fellow citizens, reminded them of the bittersweet fact that Industrialist Eugene du Pont...
...years ago, the suit originally involved 186 defendants, including Du Pont Chairman Walter S. Carpenter and President Crawford H. Greenewalt. Since then, 154 of the defendants had been dropped, many of them because they were minors. Of the three top Du Ponts named, only 77-year-old Irenee survived; Lammot died at 71 before the suit went to trial, and Pierre, 84, died last spring. The suit was costly both in money (an estimated $5,000,000 for the defense, including $750,000 in hotel bills alone) and in men: the defense required a battery of 33 lawyers; the Government...
