...recently, Chairman-President James D. Mooney and Adman Ward M. Canaday, a top Willys stockholder, could not agree on what to do about it. Last week Mooney moved out as president, but stayed on as chairman. Canaday began shopping for another president. A likely candidate: ex-President Charles E.

Mooney will be both president and board chairman, thus hold the jobs formerly held by Canaday and Sorensen...
