7-Man House Group
Prepares for Inquiry
Into Ward Seizure

By the Associated Press.
Plans for the House investigation
of the Montgomery Ward seizure
were shaping up today after the
appointment of the seven-man COM
mittee, headed by Representative
Ramspeck, Democrat. of Georgia, to
handle the matter.
Speaker Rayburn named the in
vestigators late yesterday - four
Democrats and three Republicans
including Representative Dewey, Re-
publican, of Illinois, who introduced
the resolution for the probe after
the Government had taken over the
big Chicago mail order house as the
outgrowth of labor dispute.
The other members are Repre-
sentatives Clark of North Carolina,
who opposed the investigation reso-
luton; Byrne of New York, Mon
roney of Oklahoma, all Democrats,
and Elston of Ohio and Curtis of
Nebraska, Republicans.
Originally Against Resolution.
MIR. Ramspeck, originally opposed
to the proposal questioning the ad-
ministration's authority to seize the
labor -embattled plant, voted for the
measure when it came up for pas
sage and explained:
II voted for the resolution be-
cause I felt it was important that
the people and the Congress have
full knowledge of all the facts and
circumstances"
Mr.. Ramspeck did not say when
the investigation would get under
way, but he said
"The committee will do its best to
faithfully discharge the response
bility placed upon it. I cannot an
nounce plans regarding the investi-
cation until the committee meets
and agrees upon the procedure to
be adopted"
viii Study Seizure Power.
The Dewey resolution calls for the
House committe to determine by
what authority the Army took over
the plant and elected its head,
Sewell Avery. The administration
contends Montgomery Ward is a war
industry with 10000 War Production
Board priority requests. Critics of
the action insist a mail order house
is not a war contractor.
Mr.. Dewey himself asked that the
investigation determine If President
Roosevelt had been given "unwar-
ranted power" under war emergency
laws. If SO, he declared, Congress
should repeal the grant. Repub-
licans charged on the floor of the
House that the plant seizure vas

Meanwhile, Representative STAN
ley, Republican, of New York intro
duced in the House a resolution urg-
ing that the House and Senate in
vestigations be combined.
The purpose of my resolution, !"
she said, ''is to increase efficiency
and economic on time. In nv
opinion, this investigation should be
taken care OF as speedily as
possible"
Senate Inquiry Under Way.
The Senate has had an INQUIRY
into the Montgomery Ward situation
going on for some time.
Yet another proposal came from
Representative Gathings, Democrat,
OF Arkansas who suggested that ar
guments over legality of the Govern
ment's seizure of such plants could
be ended by legislation strictly for
bidding Federal interference in non
war. private business.

BY FRANK COLBY.
Monterey or Monterrey?

It is not generally known that the
names of the cities in Mexico and
California are not spelled alike nor
pronounced alike.
Monterey in California is spelled
with one e." and the pronunciation
is: Mon-tuh-R Ray.
Monterrey in Mexico is spelled
with two "r's" and the "o' in the
first syllable is almost as long as
in loan, moan" The RS" are
trilled with the tip of the tongue:
Moan -tair- -R-Ray.
The difference is spelling is due
to the difference in pronunciation
the American "r" is liquid con-
sonant, while the Spanish "r," az
noted in the preceding paragraph
is trilled and somewhat harsh wher
it falls between two voWels. Thus
the name with one ''r" for the Cali
fornia city was adopted long ago ir
order to conform to the American
pronunciation Mon -tuh-Ray.
The name means mount of the
king" The Mexican city was
named in 1879 for the then viceroy
of New Spain, Conde de Monterrey
In 1902 the California bay was dis
covered by the explorer Viscaino
who gave it the same name. The
town was established in the 177O's.
Incidentally, Monterey" the pop
