"Plans were completely integrated,
so that maximum Of cooperative
effort might be executed against
the enemy" 1t said.
Announcement OF the meeting
came shortly before a communicate
from MacArtfur's headquarters dis
closed that American troops COM
pleted the capture Of Hollandia' s
airdromes five days after they
landed on the Dutch New Guinea
coast.
(The japanese finally acknow-

after quickly overcoming japanese
resistance.
MacArthur's communique said
that enemy resistance in the Hol-
landia area had ceased and "diSor-
ganized and demoralized enemy
troops have fled inland to the
southwest"
The last Of the three airfields,
lying In a valley behind the tower
ing CyclopS mountain range, was
the HolIandia field, which the
Americans took on Wednesday, the
day after they seized Cyclops and
Sentani dromcs. A total Of 274 jap
aneSe bodies were counted at Hol-
landia and some prisoners were
taken.
Other Landing Point
At the other landing point at
Aitape, 125 miles below Hollandia, a
spokesman said the troops had ex-
panded their beachhead to cover
about 20 miles Of the waterfront
The growing offensive also brought
new widespread aerial attacks to
the east, west and north Of the Hol-
landia area.
Heavy bomberS ranged far into
Dutch New Guinea to hit LEHMAN
airdrome in the Sorong area, 100
miles northwest OF Hollandia, while
air patrols covering the same sector,
destroyed a small Japanese cargo
vessel, disabled another and sank 10
troop-filled barges.

After a perfunctory session
which lasted only two minutes, the
stockholders adjourned the meet
ing until noon at the Blackstone
Hotel.
In federal court the company
complained that the government
had violated the fourth and fifth
amendments to the constitution
which relate to the search and
seizure Of property and to the TAX
ing Of private property without
compensation.
The company's answer to the
government complaint said:
Although the President Of the
United States has found and pro-
claimed that there are existing and
threatened Interruptions Of the
plant and facilities Of Montgomery
Ward and Company Of Chicago. he
has neither found nor proclaimed
that the said plants or any Of them
are plant, mine or facility equipped
for the manufacture, production OF
mining Of any article or materials
which may be required for the war
effort, or which may be useful In
connection herewith.
Allegement
The defendant alleges that the
seizure Of its Chicago property Is
in violation OF tire fourth and nth
amendments Of the constitution Of
the United States and that the
complaint fails TO state q claim up-
on which equitable relief can be
granted.
Wherefore, defendant prays that
the complaint be dismissed for want
Of equity.
AS soon as Ward presented its
answer to the complaint, y. 8. Dis

Harold A. Smith, attorney for
Ward, told the court that in this
case for the first time In the his
tory Of the republic the executive
officers Of the country saw fit TO
take over a retail store under the
guise Of war powers"
Il have every Offlcta1 IN court TO
prove the Chicago facilities (of
Montgomery WARD are not In the
war effort" Smith said.
III this allegation is not proven,
the case falls like a balloon that
was pricked by a pin"
He said the only thing Ward does
is sell things which are n1anifac-
tured for the company,
Those Named
The injunction issued By Judge
Holly last night named the COM
pany, Avery. and IS other officials
as defendants,
As the company prepared counter

ne said.
In an interview last night after
the government had fled its fntl1rc-
ton suit but before the injunction
Was issued, Avery predicted that
executives and employees would con-
tiutIe 70 furnish practically 100 per
cent resistance" to efforts Of ''aIna~

I'VE have no wag OF knowing
whether our employees are union

In another interview, published
by the Chicago Daily News yester-
day, Avery said he had been fired
before but this Is the first time they
carried me out feet first"
Some Of you writer's" he added,
make the mistake Of trying to read
something personal into this af-
fair, when the important thing next
to winning the war, is that we prac-
tice the freedoms and the liberties
here at home that we preach to
others"
Avery's answer to the injunction
issued by Judge William H. Holly,
was:
Fine"
THAT indeed is good news. 1t
shows that the government Tecog-
nizes the Constitution Of the United
States, and realizes that Congress
Is the sole lawmaking authority. We
have contended this from the start,
and planned to file suit for an In
junction ousting these government

our time"
Holly limited the Injunction to 10
days and II the defendants do not
ask for a dissolution or modifica.

District Penal Head
Urges Completion Of
Correctional Program

An appeal for completion of the
progressive" correctional program
started in the District in 1910 was
voiced by Howard B. Gill, genera,
superintendent of District penal in
stitutions, at the annual luncheon
of the Bureau of Rehabilitation yes
terday at the YWCA.
The District, which pioneered in
1910 with establishment of a penal
farm at Lorton, Va, now has an
excellent system of group classified
institutions as basis for a cor
rectional program here. Mr.. Gill
said. He deplored, however, failure
of the incompleted building program
to provide adequate facilities.
Instead of finishing the job be-
gun 80 years ago, we have strung it
along until we just manage to keep
up sufficient utilities, such as sewer
age and water systems, to meet the
current needs of increased popula-
tion," he asserted
Junior Police Discussed.
Mr.. Gill shared the program with
Pvt. Oliver A. Cowan, of the Po-

cinct to combat youthful gang ac-
tivities. G.. Rowland Shaw, presi-
dent of the Rehabilitation Bureau
presided.
Features of a correctional pro-
gram advocated for the District by
Mr.. Gill included:
Development of special psychi-
atric medical service at the District
Jail which could be utilized by the
courts.
A program for alcoholics at the
District workshop providing social
case work and medical attention.
Use of profits from prison indus
tries for vocational training instead
of further expansion of the indus

Establishment of youth cor

Judges under the leadership of JUS

Under such an authority, youthful
convicted offenders from Is to 25
would be held under observation and
investigation for at least six months
before their sentence by the court.
The proposal also provides that such
prisoners may be released to the
community under proper supervi-
sion during their sentence.
The reformatory warden has been
working in a temporary" office for
