u. ). 10 Ask Dismissal
of All Ward Suits

BY the Associated Press.
A spokesman said yesterday the
Justice Department will ask dis
missal of suits brought by Mont
gomery Ward & Co. to enjoin en-
forcement of War Labor Board or
ders against it.
The Circuit Court of Appeals here
ruled Friday in another case that
the statutes do not authorize court
reviews of WLB orders.
On the basis of this decision, the
Justice Department spokesman said,
the Government will renew a mo-
ton in United States District Court
to dismiss the Ward actions.
An earlier such motion was de-
MED by the District Court in one
case. The Government then petit
toned the Appeals Court to be al
lowed to appeal the decision with
out a hearing on the merits of the
case. Appeals Court rejected the
petition.
Montgomery Ward has five sep
arate suits pending involving as
many WLB orders in connection
with its stores and interests.
The Justice Department spokes-
man said it had not yet been de-
clded when the new motion would
be filed.
