EDSEL FORD (Continued from Page One) brick house in Bagley, now the heart of Detroit's down-town dis* trict. His father at the time was employed at $30 a week in the en- gine room of the Detroit Edison plant and had just completed in his off hours, his first gasoline- driven “horseless carriage.” When Edsel became old enough he was sent to the public schools. He finished the grade schools at 14, and was then sent to the De- troit University School, Graduat- ed from the latter institution he took up his training in his father’s plant instead of going to college. Edsel Ford was married Novem- ber 1, 1916, to Miss Eleanor Clay, a niece of J. L. Hudson, one of| Detroit’s leading merchants and philanthropists. They had four children—Henry Ford II, born in 1918; Benson Ford} in 1920; Elea- nor Clay Ford in 1922, and William Clay Ford in 1925. Edsel was largely responsible for the interest taken by his fa- ther in aviation, and persuaded him to undertake the development of airplane manufacturing at Dearborn, site of the parent plant of the Ford company. He offered the Edsel B. Ford prize for the annual national air tour, and spon- sored and contributed very large- ly to the expedition of Command- er Richard E. Byrd to the South Pole in 1929-1930. He was a member of Detroit's art commission, made a number ‘of notable gifts to the Detroit Art Institute. and was a membervof Numerous Detroit clubs and’ the New York Yacht Club, Edsel Ford’s first official post with the Ford Motor company was that of secretary, an assign- ment his father made for him in 1915. Stories are told how, in the course of training he had mapped out for his son, Henry Ford frequently would go into the plant, create some situation that would be difficult to adjust ot handle from an administrative viewpoint and then walk off and leave it for the son to dis- cover and adjust.

Pernianent tenant pired in his career caused Edsel Ford as much unpleasantness— certainly nothing caused him as much publicity—as the’ move- ment to obtain his exemption from the world war draft. Those close to him pictured him as deeply hurt by a “general mis- understanding” of his position. In congress democrats and re- publicans took opposing positions and shouted for and against his exemption. The elder Ford at the time was regarded as a demo- erat and soon was to run fe> United States senator on th2 democratic — ticket. Republicans held Edsel’s name up to ridicule while democrats praised him and argued that he could serve| his country best by staving at home - jand “turning aad the Supporting the statement that 1 personally wanted to go overseas, one man close to Hen- ry Ford told of a suggestion that had been made that Edsel be taken into the draft, made an officer, and be sent back home to conduct the Ford war indus- tries, “There is one job in this war,” he quoted Edsel as saying, “that I do not want and will not take and that is the job of a rick man’s son. I honestly believe I can render my greatest service here. But, if the men who have my case in charge think I am mistaken and can do greater service elsewhere, then I want to go to France. I'd rather be in ‘the trenches than holding down a swivel chair.” . Aside from his connection: with the motor and airplane indus thies, Edsel Ford’s greatest: in» terest, so far as public manifes- tation was concerned, apparent- ly was in the Detroit Institute of Arts. He gave generously to the institute and his donation of funds in addition to numerous works of art, made possible the | carrying on of work that other- wise would have been suspend- ed in 1931 and 1932. Edsel Ford was interested in Sports and drove occasionally in speedboat regattas. In 1932 he acted as pace-maker for the In- dianapolis speedway races on| Memorial day, setting a pace of! close to 70 miles an hour.
