ARMY TAKES OVER WARD
co. AS CHAIRMAN AVERY
LEAVES BY SIDE DOOR
ForciblY Removed BY Sol
diers After Demanding That
He Be Left In Charge

Chicago (FP).-U. s. Troops moved
in on Montgomery Wards huge mail
order house and retail chain store here
late April 26 after Board Chairman
Sewell Avery twice resisted govern
ment officials carrying out President
Chicago plants.
Ward employees lined up against
the walls and cheered as the soldiers
arrived. A few minutes later thousands
of union smpathizers, gathered in the
street outside, shouted and booed as
labor-hater Avery was elected through
side door under the escort of two
policemen.
Government seizure of the plants
followed refusal of the board of direc-
tors to obey National War Labor
Board order to continue collective bar
gaining with Local 20, United Retail,
Wholesale & Department Store En-
ployees (CIO). More than 1000 Ward
workers struck April II to enforce the
WLB order.
Requests from Roosevelt for the EN-
ployees to go back to work and for
Wards to resume relations with the
union by an April % deadline brought
prompt response from the union buf
continued defiance from the company.
In an unprecedented challenge to the
federal government, Avery refused to
turn over the plant when Under Secre-
tary of Commerce Wayne {. Taylor
and Ugo Carusi, executive assistant to
the l.. S. attorney general, arrived
from Washington with the President $
order. The officials were coseted with
Avery for an hour at noon. Taylor
told the press that Avery said that "he
could not accede to my demand be
cause he challenged the legality of the
executive order or any authority at
tempted to be exercised under it,
Later in the afternoon the federal
officials came back flanlied by nine
deputy marshals. After 20 minutes
they left the office, reporting: avery
is still resisting. We will eject if neces-
sary."
A few hours later L. S. army troops
took over. Called from Camp SkOkie,
a platoon of 40 military police equipped
with field packs, rifles and small ma
chine guns arrived at the company's
of Ward employees leaving for the
night and crowds gathered to watch
| the excitement, the soldiers poured out
of three army trucks and lined up TO
enter the building. Taylor and Carusi,
the commanding officer and two ser
geants went ahead into Avery's office.
Taylor read again the order of seizure
and warned Avery that he had troops
to enforce 1t.

mo, but the troops are in charge
Of the plant" Taylor answered.
Just before the soldiers reached the
door of his Office, Avery said: well,

and Taylor moved behind his desk.
Cries of ''scab" and solidarity forever
emerged from the building. A few
minutes later the L. s. flag flew over
Montgomery Wards
In Washington the Presidents order
to seize the plant was approved in an
opinion by Attorney General Francis
Biddle holding that Wards activities
are essential to the war economy and
their interruption would seriously af-

Getting Out Spruce in Ton

Very Costly, Claim

WASHINGTON, Feb 5. = Con-
gresham Fred Norman, Republican,
of Washington State, announces
that prospects appear good the Gov
eminent will halt the high cost
project of getting airplane spruce
out of the Tongass National Forest
in Alaska, operations now being
conducted on Edna Bay.
Norman said he has suggested the
War Production Boards project be
discontinued because of the high
cost and the mills and forests of
Washington and Oregon could cas-
lily supply all spruce needed for air.
planes in the war effort.
Norman said the 'rongass project
has already cost several million dol
lars and produced little lumber. The
project was undertaken when spruce
was badly needed but lately excess
production of aluminium has caused
a drop in the demand for spruce.
Norman said the WPB replied in
al substantial agreement to close
the project j. Philip Boyd, head
of the Lumber Products Division, is
also convinced the project should
be discontinued in the near future.

SEATTLE, Feb. 5. - Just ten
months ago, Comdr Melvin Mccoy
and nine other fighting Americans
escaped after II months of impri-

fered atrocious treatment from
their Jap captors in the Philippines.
After a long silence, the lean ra-

ly, declining to give many details OF
incidents he describes "as foul as
anything in history
Last night in a radio broadcast
he described how one prisoner was
forced by Jap guards to bayonet
and kill a fellow prisoner, and with
a shovel bury him in a roadside
ditch, after an Infamous march
of death"
Although Systematically starved
he and three companions risked
death stealing 1873 chickens in
three months to build up their
strength for their escape.
THE most important thing is TO
have the will to escape. That's
what makes the difference" he
said.

of four airdromes which make the
Wewak area of New Guinea one

Liberator bombers struck first and
unloaded more than IT'S tons OF
bombs directly on two runways, de-
molishing approximately 20 enemy
aircraft ard rendering at least one
field unserviceable.
Mitchell mediums followed about
an hour later, bombing and STRAIT
ing two other air strips, flying as
low as 20 feet. The Macarthur
communique reported that at least
eight of 40 Of the Jap mterceptogs
were downed, and 70 enemy planes
were destroyed in all. Our casual
ties were light, the communiquc
said.

Wewak is Japan's main air SUD

smashed last August Is and %

the air and on the ground.
Japan painstakingly rebuilt the
airbase, and Thursdays smash
