Check Bases
For Ward Act
BY LEWIS HANEY


Professor Of Economies. n. Y. University
Whatever the political motives
behind Mr.. RooSevelt'S decision to
60 TO the mat with Montgomery
Ward may be. two great questions
are raised. One is the question OF
the powers OF the executive in a
democracy. The other is the ques-
ton OF fact, as 10 whether the
business of Montgomery Ward, or
the part Of il seized, is subject to
such powers.
As to the question of principles
or theory, II is interesting TO note
that the New Deal crowd have
given a variety OF arguments. They
have shifted from one to the other,
in way that suggests either diff
ficulty, or lack of conviction, or
indifference.
Here is the list OF alleged bases
for the Presidents power Cor
powers) TO seize and operate re-
tail stores.

as the creatures Of the execu-

existence of an emergency, :"
this means that the judiciary

GIN Is Example

But let's just take the case
OF one OF the Big Three--Gen-
eral Motors--as an example.
GINS largest peacetime sales
were in 1897 and totaled ST.
600. 100000. Under the impetus
of war preparation and British
buying. they started TO creep up
in 1910 10 above that level. or
Sl.794 900 600. That's the year
the council uses for comparison.
In that year, General Motors
return was slightly above the
induStrys average or about los
per cent.
But in 1943. the corporation
turned out S3,796. 900 600 worth
OF materials, mostly war stuff.
Had il been allowed a normal
return on that figure, its profits
would have equaled 100000
600. more than DOUBLE the
1910 level and 40 millions over
the lush low tax year OF 1923.
Instead the companys earn
ings dropped 10 80 per cent OF
total sales,

Poor War Measure
BY WARD SCHULTZ

The other day our good friend
George Romney of the Autemo-
tive Council for War Produc-
ton released some figures on
the wartime earnings of the
auto industry
The figures showed the profit

percentage-wise basis; but TO
me were neither significant nor
particularly interesting.
II seemed 10 me that George
was trying TO build up a case
for the auto industry TO impress
the public with the job being
done IN my humble opinion,
that's totally unnecessary. The
auto industry has been a stand
out in almost every category IN
this war.
At the outbreak OF hostilitieS,
the larger companies openly an
nounced their wartime policy.

BAG OF TRICKS

Such is the bag of tricks as 10
theory.
My own judgment tells me that
first. such an act as selling a
retail store, since ii violates the
fundamental principles of freedom
set forth in the Bill of Rights,
must be clearly and definitely
authorized.
Second, nowhere, however, is
there specific authorization for the

Whitaker Held in Bond
0fS3,OOO Pending
Removal 10 Ohio

| United States Commissioner Need
ham c. Turnage today issued an
order holding Norman T Whitaker,
81, of the 1900 block Parkwood place
NV, disbarred patent attorney,
in $4,000 bond pending his removal
to Ohio to face charges of selling
and possessing narcotics.
Whitaker, declining to make
bond, was taken in charge by
| United States marshal while his
attorney, Joseph Turco, announced
that he would apply Immediately to
District Court for writ of habeas
corpus to free his client. At the
same time, John c. Conliff, assist
ant United States district attorney,
said he would ask District Court for
warrant for Whitaker's removal
to Ohio.
The gray-haired Whitaker came
into national prominence more than
decade ago when he was convicted,
along with the late CASTOR e.
Means, of conspiring to steal part
of the 100000 reward offered by
Mrs. Evalyn Walsh Mclean as ran
som for the child of Charles A.
Lindbergh Whitaker was sentenced
to l8 months in the penitentiary.
Whitaker is charged in Ohio with
using the United States mails to
send morphine from Washington to
DR.. George Franklin Kerr of Nc
Ciure, Ohio, a physician whose
license has been revoked by the
State. He appeared before Mr..
Turnage April for arraignment, at
which time the case was continued
until today.
Mr.. Turnage refused today to ad-
NIT as evidence two affidavits by
Kerr. However, he did admit a
letter which Leroy Morrison, Fed
eral narcotics agent, said Whitaker
had admitted writing to the Ohio
physician. 1t was understood that
the letter did not implicate Whita-
ker as trafficking in narcotics. but
merely showed that he had been
in correspondence with Kerr.
When Mr.. Turco observed that the
commissioner was admitting the
letter without reading it, he ques-
toned the procedure. MIR. Turnage
said he could readily see from Mr..
